Cabbie "gets the gay" at SFN
Mutt:
he told me it's entertainment. I told him it's just being a douche. As you all know, I've been a big supporter of Cabbie. Since he's gone over the deep end, I've tried talking to him but it's gone nowhere. Evidently he's done with us. if he can't be a friend of the site, we'll stop trying. i hate giving up on a VIP but sometime that's all we can do.
He wants to start trouble for me but our site is legitimate. Always has been. We've grown into what we are now and have plenty of time to learn how things are done. His accusations that i don't pay taxes are absurb. iMonkey is an incorporated company with very high bills. he's stupid if he thinks I'm doing it all under the table. We have to pay for hosting, equipment, travel, taxes, and even though i'm the only employee of iMonkey, i have to pay unemployment. What I have to pay out to run this site is insane. every dollar that comes in is reported. I'm not taking in cash. For the first 4 years we were in the red. (that means we spent more than we brought in) this past year is the first year that the site actually was ahead. believe it or not, it was our Sirius advertising that brought it the most. When you guys sign up for Sirius thru our banners, I get money. With Howard's move to Sirius, we've done well and at the same time we were supporting Sirius. I tired explaining to Cabbie that we're way beyond that little site he remembers that cost me a couple hundred a month out of my pocket. We get over 20 million page views a month. We have multiple servers. hosting is no longer measured in hundreds of dollars. Paypal, google, Sirius, etc all file taxes and let uncle sam know what we take in. He's a fool if he thinks I'm pulling a Cabbie and not paying my due.
As for trying to make me look like I'm doing the same crap he's done, nobody's buying it. I fully support the channels. This site does so much behind the scenes for all of them. the vast majority of it all is just done as favors. The ads on the site have always been minimal. most of them are freebies for friends or google ads. Howard & Beth seperately asked how much money I make with SFN. i told em both how i still have a real job and how this is a great hobby that allows us to have alot of fun. (for example, SFN paid for our Tampa trip) I explained how I was leery to do a hard ad campaign becasue I didn't want it to come off to him & the fans like I was using his name. both told me I should put ads on SFN and make what I can. I do alot of work and shouldn't do it for free. After that, I signed up with a large advertising company that is show friendly who will be finding us real advertisers. I'm also now setup to sell commercials on Sirius so I can team our web ad campaign w/ the radio campaign. There's nothing shady here. I'm upfront with it all and only moving forward once I get the OK. Cabbie on the other hand lied to Howard and used him. there's no comparison.
