It's been real but I've got to move on

Georgia Poker · #1 10-02-2006, 09:47 PM

This is a tough decision for me but I've made the decision to move on and leave the gambling affiliate industry. The decision was tough but based on several things:

1. The current climate
2. I plan on running for a State Rep Seat in the coming years
3. I have to make a business decision to protect my existing assests and future gains
4. I'm moving to another opportunity that will take up a significant amount of my time

I'm going to write a longer summary of my thoughts and views on the industry (including my vision of a "rebirth" of the industry in the next 24 months) but for now I just wanted to say THANK YOU to every member here who has helped me, bought links from me, done business with me, and contributed to the community here.

I'm in talks with someone to buy the bulk of my larger sites (ones I've never mentioned here) but a few of the smaller ones are for sale inlcuding BuildMyBankroll, The Matusow Blog, and FreePokerBooks. I have several more that I can't think of right now but you're welcome to PM for an inventory.

I'm sure a question that will come up regarding my plans for a State Rep slot will be "are you afraid that someone will smear you when it comes to your history as a gambling affiliate?". My answer to that is simple, I'm going to use it to my advantage and appeal to forward thinking people. We are all ethical business people here and have harnessed the power of the Internet and the "FREE WILL" of the American citizen to capitalize on a growing adult market. I can go on and on regarding that one but for now I'll sign off.

Good night everyone. It's been real.

Todd
