I Am Leaving I-tube For Good.

I am leaving i-tube.net for good.

THE MAIN reason I am leaving is because my family is getting ready to open another business on July 18. This business will be MY responsibility to run and operate. This new business is an actual physical business - not something run from a home office. Getting this business off the ground will require ALL of my time and energy 24/7 for the foreseeable future. This business is a dream of mine that I have held for a very long time and I have fought soooo very long and hard to find a way just to have a chance to do this. A large sum of money has been invested and I have people depending on me to make this business a success. I cannot be distracted from what my main focus is at this moment - my business. Failure is not an option for me. I cannot and will not be distracted by ANYTHING. So, I have to let i-tube go.

My leaving has absolutely nothing to do with Phanturd.....although now that I am closing my account, he will have no one to blame for the content on this website other than the website owner. I am tired of being used as a scapegoat for this website. Phanturd can just continue sending hateful threatening emails and Skype messages to MBD (and continue to have them go unanswered).

As Argent and the rest of you have said, pretty soon this website will cease to exist in any form similar to what it is presently. MBD doesn't have a plan and apparently has no time or interest in trying to figure out an alternative to NING 3.0.

I came to this website out of curiosity, I stayed out of boredom and I have wasted a lot of time and energy here. I have made some friends here and I have had plenty of laughs....but I have to go now.

I wish all of you the very best and I hope all of you get the chance to achieve YOUR dreams.

Spending money just to watch it go down the drain, on a bad bet not so much. If it works, it works, I am honestly not sure how well any Social Networking site can work on NING with it's current platform, I mean I seen some people or political causes that were already famous, but even those seemed kind of dead.

IMO, I thin part of the big reason for that outside of ease to of use, and it WORKING is that ANYBODY can sign up make an account to interact or contribute, I mean the other part of it is that YouTube and Twitter are well KNOWN NOW!

But I think something small can work as long as it is relatively successful at getting the word out about it, and people showing the fuck up, and having something interesting talk about.

My point is that if we are TALKING REAL money, an investment, I think I am bit less interested making another YOUTUBE or some shit, and just more interested a sustainable website people actually want to go to that has a future.

Comment by Trevor Rieger on July 7, 2014 at 8:23am: Since Argie was the one to come up with the alternative forum grou.ps....I wonder if he is ACTIVELY on any of the forums???

The 2 people that were complaining below had 2 gay boy websites:

1. www.slurperssmoothhotboys.com

2. twinkmeetingroom.com

Go figure! lol

Comment by Drone on July 7, 2014 at 8:06am: People might hate YouTube, bitch about it, but, it works, people might not like twitter, and the way it is coded but it works.

Some people fancy themselves I guess code specialist, or want to totally reinvent the wheel, I just personally think it is more important for the users to come in have fun and have a really laid back personal experience without a lot of technical hassles, sure nothing stays the same forever, but something that has a sustainable platform and can progress gradually as people get used to it, and interacting, marry that with some mods who aren't ban finger trigger happy idiots, then you have the makings of any of the popular or fun websites I have seen WORK. You could probably do all this well and good for free, and have some cool extras for those kicking in a little money for the site.

Comment by Argent009 on July 7, 2014 at 3:13am: I don't own it, it was just a suggested alternative to Ning 3.0. Frankly, I don't care, let the site die, big fucking whoop. You won't have anything but your notepad website left then I guess, bummer for you.

Comment by Trevor Rieger on July 7, 2014 at 3:08am: Grou.ps last investment money was 3 years ago by their own company TIMAR in Turkey. lol
