[MacQuarrie]

YOU DON'T EVER TALK THAT WAY TO HER AGAIN, YOU FREAKIN' PIECE OF TRAILER-TRASH GARBAGE!!! IS THAT UNDERSTOOD? YOU'RE JUST PISSED OFF THAT YOUR BUDDY, SK716, SCREWED SOMETHING UP ON MY COMPANY'S SITE AND DIDN'T BOTHER TO WARN ME ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH A PROBLEM, KNOWING THAT I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF IT, AND YOU, NOR YOUR ILK, WANT TO ADMIT THAT ONE OF YOUR OTHER PRECIOUS MEMBERS CAN ACTUALLY MAKE WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A MINOR, EASILY-REPAIRED SCREW-UP! SO, TAKE YOUR CRAP AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR BROWN-NOSING ASS, MORON! BUT, YOU NEVER, EVER SAY CRAP TO MY GIRLFRIEND WITH SUCH UNDESERVED DISRESPECT, AGAIN!!! IF YOU AND YOUR MICRO-PENILE, BUTT-BUDDY, DOC MARTIN, WANT A PIECE OF ME, BRING IT THE HELL ON... BUT, YOU DO NOT MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT TO JO EVER AGAIN! SHE HAS DONE NOR SAID NOTHING AGAINST YOU, SO SHE DOES NOT DESERVE SUCH AN ONSLAUGHT! I COULDN'T CARE LESS WHAT WORTHLESS BEEF YOU HAVE AGAINST ME, BUT YOU CAN AT LEAST PRETEND TO HAVE A CLASS, WHICH IS HIGHER THAN A SNAIL'S ASS, BY NOT BEING SO VERBALLY VULGAR TO A KIND AND CARING WOMAN WHO HAS DONE NOTHING TO YOU AND WHO IS VERY LOVED ALONG WITH BEING HIGHLY PROTECTED BY ME!!!
I'VE NEVER GOTTEN SO PISSED OFF AS I AM AT THIS MOMENT, TO LOWER MYSELF TO SUCH UNCENSORED VULGARITY, WHICH IS COMMONLY USED BY THE PISS-ANT LIKES OF YOU AND A SELECT OTHER FEW ON HERE, BUT YOUR STUPID ASS HAS PUT ME IN A RAGE THAT WILL NOT BE STIFLED!!! AND REMEMBER THAT I AM NOT A FORCE TO BE FREAKIN' RECKONED WITH!!!
GOT IT? GOOD!!! REMEMBER IT, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO TATTOO IT ON YOUR DAMNED, EMPTY FOREHEAD!!!
Mr. Fisher:mad:
SK did not screw up anything on your site and you know it.

[MacQuarrie]

And now I'm caught up. What a trainwreck.

Bye, J. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[Crowley]

I agree with Mac's points.

Everyone in this thread needs to take a deep breath and come back with cool heads.

And J,

you owe Shelly a MASSIVE apology.

[Roquefort Raider]

AND REMEMBER THAT I AM NOT A FORCE TO BE FREAKIN' RECKONED WITH!!!



Well, THAT much is true.

[Shade]

I'm starting to get a little pissed.

No one here has any idea the dollar amount of work that was done. So how about I post a screencap of the Invoice I sent Jim.

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i194/sk716/bolt_invoice.jpg

These are the flat rates. MacQ has since convinced me to work for hourly rates.

Mac is right and even at a flat rate's if you had charged him that amount he STILL would have got off cheap. I'm not blowing smoke. I do this stuff for a living and you do AMAZING work, and even at the $60.00 and hour you mentioned in previous posts you are generous. J-Bolt's an ass and I really don't even want to get in to all that mess, BUT I did want to say that if he or anyone wants to call in to question your professionalism they are full of crap. Your WORK speaks VOLUMES about exactly how good you are.

[Crowley]

if J-Bolt doesn't apologize to Shelly then I think we should all ignore him and let him fade off into further obscurity.

[Dreadstar]

I can't. Not for 209 more days, anyway.

[Lex]

I can't. Not for 209 more days, anyway.
What happens in 209 days?

[Dreadstar]

Any ballpark timeframe on this national TV announcement?

All I can say is as soon as the actor signs, I'm supposed to call 'em and it'll get scheduled. Obviously, there's no way to know when they'll sign.
J-:cool:

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, as is customary.

Lacking a significant signing and viable press release, I'll change my tune on September 1st, 2007.

A year is more than generous.

Fair enough.
J-:cool:

I even extended the 1 year deadline to anything TANGIBLE produced by LBE and J-Bolt.

Any bets?

[howyadoin]

[Jack Zodiac]

FYI: For anyone not convinced that J-Bolt and JsLady are two different people, I used my mod powers and did some digging. They are, indeed, two seperate people, with totally different IP addresses.

There. THAT should end THAT question once and for all.

For what it's worth, you can fun Explorer in one window and Firefox in another, and Firefox gives you the ability to used broad IP addresses to circumvent IP bans on message boards, but also allows you to disguise a second account. So, it's entirely possible, whether they're the same person or not.

Mr. Fisher:mad:

You're fuckin' hilarious, man.

[OMAR]

Hmm... I'm as sincere as anyone in my desire to see LBE's production rate increase, but I'm not sure about the value of setting a particular date by which these various things should happen. I'm worried that setting a timetable sends the wrong message, I'd rather J-Bolt wait until all the ducks are in a row creatively than try to rush anything out just to hit a date.

On the other hand, news has been very scarce of late. I'm honestly confused as to whether we will get a comic book or a movie first.

Shelly pointed that out first.

I doubt that's the case here. If J-Bolt could do that, he wouldn't have needed Shelly.

And it's really not polite to accuse his girlfriend of being a sock puppet.

There's somebody for everybody. Except Mr. Magoo and me, at least. :)

I'm not too keen on the attitude J-Bolt has taken. But I hope he takes a few steps back and a few deep breaths.

[macul]

Well, there's the crux of the problem. You don't know, and you don't want to know all of the technical aspects of what it took for her to put up the site. Are you ready to learn PHP? SQL? HTML? No, probably not. Here's a clue: nothing she did was out of the ordinary. Databases are password protected. So are your files and directories. That's the norm. If they aren't, then guess what will eventually happen to your data. And changing that password on the fly without understanding everything else involved? Boneheaded.

That's why you paid...oh, that's right. You didn't pay anything. She helped you out of kindness and for that you think you are entitled to a lifetime of free support. I do computer work for a living. It's because of people like you that I don't like to tell people what I do or answer simple routine questions. You think we owe you something. And the moment we get involved you want us to stay in it until the end.

Yeah, I realize I'm late to the discussion. Just had to get my two cents in.

[Jack Zodiac]

Bev's post was in response to Shelly's, I was just clarifying since she didn't bring up multiple IPs and whatnot. Which, by the way, you don't have to be as smart as Shelly to do, because... well, fuck, I can do it and I couldn't do an eighth of the stuff she can do with websites. :p

[Mike Smash!]

This is totally off-topic, but I think it needs to be said.

J-Bolt, if you seriously want to convince people that you're someone they want to do business with, you may want to consider changing your look. The "I Look like I Peaked in High School" thing with the frosted hair and the Randy Savage shades doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Or you could just admit that you're a sad old fraud that has no interest in creating comic books so much as saying you do, and stop wasting other peoples' money and time.

Christ, you're like the comic book industry's answer to Lyndon LaRouche.

There are free code repositories.

J-Bolt's old site would have looked better if he could do stuff like this.

And it's not polite or relevant to accuse his girlfriend of being a phony, is it?

[Jack Zodiac]

No, it isn't, and I didn't. I implied it could be possible that both accounts are his and gave an example of how.

[OMAR]

I'm kind of bummed out, I can't post to the LBE forums. The preview function works but when I try to post it says that there are some required fields that were left empty... I'm pretty sure there aren't.

[TCJohnson]

Shelly pointed that out first.

I doubt that's the case here. If J-Bolt could do that, he wouldn't have needed Shelly.



Just for the record, I could do that easily but can't do 80% of the stuff SK does...and the stuff I can do nowhere near as well as she does it.

[sk716]

So, I see the site I did is still up.

I guess it's not so offensive is it, dumbass?

Don't blame me because you fucked something up.

I told you you couldn't hurt Geeklog, the front end, the actual site. I never told you to go banging away at the server. The server is not the site. I'd think you'd know that Mr. Mainframe.

I do apologize for thinking you were intelligent enough not to go monkeying around in the server.

Take the site down you waste of oxygen. Put your ugly, blinking, bad link filled pages back up.

[Lester C.]

I don't know, in the history of the conversations re: J-Bolt, the crux of the matter seems to be the lack of production, over a period of 5 years or more. Considering that at that time 5 months ago, he'd just come in proclaiming to be on the brink of signing some talent? I think giving him a year to do so seems...

Fair enough.
J-:cool:

[BearClaw]

Sorry everyone, but who's J-Bolt? I just didn't feel like reading over 200 pages to find out.

Thanks!:)

An annoying posting whore that likes to yell at people in all caps, knows nothing about computers, takes a perverse pleasure in viciously insulting various posters to cover up his own mistakes, thinks everything is about him, and uses the mad emoticon like its going out of style and always threatens to leave even though we all know he's going to be back. I hate people like that. HEY WHAT ARE YOU FREAKS LOOKING AT! :mad:

Yeah, but enough about yourself Lester, who's J Bolt?

[Sally Sensational]

As cooler heads and migraine medication prevail . . .

Jo, I do sincerely apologize for the insults I hurled in your direction. You didn't deserve that. I rarely blow up and am frequently ashamed when I do and this is one of those times . . .

Please understand that my level of caring for Shelly probably matches yours for J, if in a different vein. Shell's been one of my closest friends for almost half my life. So when she is slighted, I tend to react very strongly.

You, however, did not deserve for my anger, however righteous it may have been, to spill over onto you. You were only doing what you felt needed to be done to get J's website up and running again. Having been around the various comic book folk on this forum for a while now, I understand how important the public presence of the website can be for a creator.

I do agree with the statement that there is someone for everyone and I am glad that you and J have found each other. I sincerely hope that you can be an inspiration and impetus for him to bring his long-awaited creative endeavors to the public.

You have had a trial by fire here on the board and you didn't deserve it, but you have come through with grace and dignity.

Good luck and my sincerest apologies . . .

[Cream Filled Taco]

A bit of clarification is in order here...

Shell helped a lot with setting up the media galleries and editing the video clips of your live Oddball Show so we could post them, and she helped tremendously with moving your sites to their current server and reconfiguring everything to work properly once they got there, and she helped me customize the forums and fix a ton of bugs in the original forums.

But the hardest and most complicated part of building the Oddball Comics site was the incredible amount of programming that had to be written from scratch for teh "This Week's Comic" section and the archives. This took literally over 100 hours to do, and I was in completely over my head. I could not have done it at all, and the reason it got done is because of one person. In case I haven't expressed it properly, Craig "Cream Filled Taco" Kemper, more than anyone else, is responsible for the functionality and ease-of-use of the Oddball Comics site.

Take a bow, CFT!

*curtsies*

Thanks Jim!

[sk716]

*curtsies*

Thanks Jim!

Well, you are in fact awesome.

[Crowley]

can we bring back J-bolted?

[Papergirl]

For what it's worth, you can fun Explorer in one window and Firefox in another, and Firefox gives you the ability to used broad IP addresses to circumvent IP bans on message boards, but also allows you to disguise a second account. So, it's entirely possible, whether they're the same person or not.

That wasn't the case here. The IPs stayed the same the entire time both were on. Never once changed.

And here's something ELSE: Jo has a firm grasp on grammar, sentence structure and spelling. Something that, in 7 years or so, I have never seen J-Bolt display. Even if he could maintain it for a post or two, he couldn't for this long. No way.

~Bev

[sk716]

can we bring back J-bolted?

Yes and no.

I let the account it was on go. So the old site is gone. I do however still have the original site pages, possibly a backup of the forum database, and the mountains of info we piled into J-Bolt Mania.

[Crowley]

From the retard's forum:
Well... Rolling Eyes
I said I wouldn't be surprised if it happened, but I ended up being right!
THE BASHERS ARE BACK!!!
I even said that I HOPED it wouldn't happen; that the hatchet would STAY buried, but it took a catalyst such as this situation. It concerns the basher who did the latest LBE Online site design making a minor mistake, which she made turn into a grave mistake, that made the CBR YABSers return to the dark side, once again becoming bashers. They just couldn't resist the temptation of the dark side. And in their case, they USED THE FARCE (that's NOT a spelling error)!
I changed the news story, about this situation, to a forum string because they've just been too much, blasted, negative news concerning LBE, that I'm not gonna' let them have a spotlight on the site again. All this type of garbage deserves is to be nothing more than forum string bull, and nothing more.
I had some people that had become so great of friends in that forum, but again, I got the reason why YABS truly stands for You'll All Be Sorry... and they are VERY proud to live up to that. At least I had about 6 months of blissful release from 90% of their barrage, but all good things must come to an end, eventually, I guess. LOL.
Even Papergirl turned against me in a BIG way. This surprised the daylights outta' me.
What is a complete enigma is how can they think that somebody, who is a professional and VERY good at what they do, can't make one, single mistake. NOBDY IS PERFECT, PEOPLE... GET OVER IT AND KISS REALITY, huh?
Sk716 is an absolutely GREAT, talented web designer. Everybody here has heard that I've made no bones in bragging about the beautiful work she did on this site's design. And yes, she did it for free, since the other bashers kept pushing it on me, as they didn't so much like the great frames site design I created as much, when sk716 is completely up to date, and quite proficient, in the most current Internet website technology. So, reluctantly, I accepted this more than generous gift and she also reluctantly took the project of 2-3 days to create the site, then the approximate 5 days to answer about 2-3 questions a day from me on how to run it. Finally, she got tired of teaching me what to do, as she seemed rather annoyed that I didn't just automatically know how to run it and couldn't learn this complicated database programming involving MySQL, php, and Geeklog within a matter of 1 day, never having used it before, in my life.
Well... I guess all computer/Internet professionals are impatient, not being able to understand why everybody doesn't have their knowledge, nor be able to catch on to it immediately upon seeing it. Is it completely illogical and unintelligent? Heck yeah! Does logic and intelligence have any relevance to a person who is so conceited over their vast knowledge of such a specialized subject? HECK NO!
Conceit is what separates professionals who dedicate 100% of their time to their craft and professionals who dedicate 75% of their time to the craft while dedicating the other 25% of their time to teaching others their craft. You can't teach, spreading your gifts and talents with others who have the desire to learn, when you think that only you are capable of doing the craft to begin with, and don't take into account that it took you a while to learn your craft, so naturally, it'll take them some time to learn also. Or is it that you don't WANT them to learn it so that you can keep thinking you're the best?
Things that make ya' go "HHHMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm." Sorry, Arsenio... I had to borrow that one, Bub.
Anyway, as I've been saying, when the melee started, all that sk716 had to say, either in the e-mails I sent her as early as when the problem first come about, or when I finally did get ahold of her in the bash forums, "oops, you're right, J-... I shouldn't have told ya' that ANYTHING having to do with the site couldn't be hurt, so lemme' just tell you really quick how to fix it." Then, this wouldn't have been a problem... would it?
Get your ego in check and realize that people who are the BEST in the World at what they do can/do sometimes make mistakes!
I've been put in the history books 3 times in a row so far, as well as being a teacher, and receiving numerous other awards, which tell me I'm a pro at what I do... but I make mistakes too! NOBODY'S perfect, otherwise a church would be built in their name, I'm sure! GET A GRIP ON REALITY, WILL YA'!?
Now... with all that said (and I KNOW that more is gonna' be said as time goes on, being sure that it won't take the bashers long to start their bull on here yet again), I specifically created this forum, as being the ONLY place that the bashers are to be discussed. Obviously, after dealing with their shenanigans for over 7 years now, putting up with harassment, stalking, and a myriad of other illegal and invasive activity, I expect a great deal more. BUT... instead of letting this really negative situation grow to yet another completely worse situation that overshadows this site, company, projects, and the fun that is meant for everybody here to enjoy, I decided that just banning and deleting everything that comes about from it ends up causing even more of this garbage, so I'll give it a stage here where those who want to keep up on it can take part in it any time they want, while those who want nothing to do with it, don't have to bother looking at this one single forum, enjoying the other 99.9% of LBE.com.
Now, obviously there's rules for this forum, as there is with anything in life:
*NO SWEARING - If anybody swears, for any reason or in any fashion whatsoever.
*NO THREATS - this includes, but not limited to, threatening any member of this site, the employees, or Admins.
*NO FLAMING - I'm sure I don't need to describe this... do I?
*NO PITCHING ANY BASH SITES - this includes, but is not limited to, website URLs, names or anything else that points to a website containing LBE bashing.
*NO NAME-CALLING - I'm sure this one will REALLY challenge the bashers, as they can't seem to have a debate or disagreement unless they get to call their opponent some kind of malicious name. I hate that kind of immaturity, so I'm not gonna' put up with it.
IF I THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE, I'LL ADD IT IN. IF YOU THINK OF SOMETHING I MISSED, BY ALL MEANS, LEMME' KNOW!
If anybody breaks any of these rules, depending on the severity of the rule broken, they will be banned from posting anything on this site, and possibly even deleted from the site altogether.
I'd say "now, have fun," but we all know that's the LAST thing that'll be accomplished with THIS subject. ROFL.

Ah Bash forum nothing changes on the internet except for the way that it looks and how it works. Jabolt is trying to do his living in the way he can best and maybe the bash forum people whould get their paid money if people weren't contstnatly taking money from his mouth with the bashing. That's bad that sk6616 did not get paid which is a sine of nonpro from jbolt which is a SHYOCK! Buut it's also no good to bash on him because if he does it good, then he's got money for sk66677 to pay and that's the goal. It's just like GI Joe One To Grow On if you think about it.

Ah bash forum do not ever change what you do so good, which is not some kind of back handed copmliment it is the ACTUAL MEANT TRUTH! There is no humor statment here at all.

I hope that sk6614 gets his/her money though from jb-olt, but I do not think that not the bash forum will with it. I cannot be more clear on this point.

Ah Bash forum nothing changes on the internet except for the way that it looks and how it works. Jabolt is trying to do his living in the way he can best and maybe the bash forum people whould get their paid money if people weren't contstnatly taking money from his mouth with the bashing. That's bad that sk6616 did not get paid which is a sine of nonpro from jbolt which is a SHYOCK! Buut it's also no good to bash on him because if he does it good, then he's got money for sk66677 to pay and that's the goal. It's just like GI Joe One To Grow On if you think about it.

Ah bash forum do not ever change what you do so good, which is not some kind of back handed copmliment it is the ACTUAL MEANT TRUTH! There is no humor statment here at all.

I hope that sk6614 gets his/her money though from jb-olt, but I do not think that not the bash forum will with it. I cannot be more clear on this point.

So Dwight if you did all kinds of free work say on my patio and there was a problem I caused I could call ya up and bitch you out over it ? Same to Omar as well. If I built you a driveway for free of charge and didn't charge you and you somehow punch a hole or some crazy shit into it , could you call me up and argue with me ?

Lets be honest. We all ( ok most of us) listened to Gail and buried the hatchet. We offered to give J-Bolt a chance. Instead he's the one who acted beyond foolish and blamed the person who did all the work for free and left him the keys to run it.

I even wondered where he had dissapeared to. He can look back and see . A lot of us were givin him a chance to actually produce work. Instead he's back to his usual sad games. At blaming the YABS board for all his problems. No movie in 2007....must be SK716's fault for it. Because he messed with the site and somehow she messed it up. :rolleyes:

[DocAbsurd]

Oh my sweet Lord.

I've read this thread for what seems like ages; I've heard all the legends of J-Bolt. Even when this flamed up again, I kept my trap zipped even though I was dying to scream out, simply cuz I haven't been in on any part of this discussion. But after seeing that 'explanation' . . .

Fecking shyte, am I having flashbacks.

He's surprised by the 'barrage'? Why is everyone like this surprised when people stick up for their friends? He ponces in here like a rhino in orthopedic sneakers, flaps the blame for his mucking about in Shel's face, takes great offense when his S.O. is doubted and launches into his own incomprehensible tirade, and then can't see why YABS stood up for Shel.

When he makes a 'boo-boo', he's only human. He's not perfect, but he's near as have it. He appreciates what Shel did, but only insofar as it was 'forced' upon him.

WTF!?!

That . . . that . . . missive of loosely strung-together words in a form vaguely resembling a language of some sort does nothing short of out-and-out blaming Shel for doing work for him for free! I mean, I've seen biting the hand, but he fecking chomped poor Shel's appendage off at the shoulder. It's like he attended the 'Olney School of Sweet-Talking' seminar.

Where do these people come from?

I'm going back to lurking thru this thing. Far as I'm concerned, I had absolutely no interest in any product he may have been able to dredge up from the recesses of his self-congratulatory delusions. But after this little outburst?

I'll vocally denounce his tripe.

whoa whoa there powerman, I did not mean to imply or say that sk7is is wrong. Jbolbed is obviously wrong for being unprofessional enough to not pay for professionally made things. I have a freelance rule which is, hey, money half now, rest of money after work is done and most people are good with that. jboolt seems to have the trouble with these business things which is a shameful too bad thing. If he would focus on the comics and had a good businessman manager that could 'handle the books' then these things would not happen to pepole.

I do not know if the movie happening is or is not sk747's fault because if it is that would not make sense. Because I think that people who make movies are not making websites in there spare time. If sk7 DOES make movies happen or not happen then I would like to thank him/her for making Deathlok happen in 2008!!!! thank you sk77 for Deathlok if you have movie powers! If you do not then I have nothing to thank you for.

anyway, jbolt is wrong for not paying but the bash forum should understand him more instead of always trying to put him down. Talented pepople deserve to be treated better than normal people (especially liberals--hahaha that is just a joke because liberals are not normal!) so jbolt should maybe get a wide birth. And sk7ig should get his/her monies and also have a wide birth someday. Maybe on his/her birthday? Hahaha<--this is ALSO just a humor joke bash forum so please don't be upset too much.

Anyway, that's all I mean that I hope the bash forums donesn't mean she doesn't not get his/her money.

And also to be clear when I called you powerman it is/was NOT meant as a humor nickname, it is/was meant to be a peaceful/powerful nickname unless it offends you to be called a black superhero in which case, hmm, there is no need to be racist. But please don't be offended by that nickname of powerman because it is meant to say, hey, you are powerful like a powerful man, hence, powerman. Unless you are a woman with big chesty busoms like powerwoman, in which case you are NOT a black superhero at all. But the compliment-nickname stands.

... Wait...

Not to derail a thread, nor take a combative tone, but..

I absolutely, fundamentally, deeply disagree with this statement.

Talented people deserve to be treated 'better' than normal people?!?!

Tell me this. Gail, Larry, Sk, Misty, And a WHOLE HOST of Talented, Creative people are genuinely good people, they put out for people, they spend time interacting with fans, helping people, and generally being the stellar examples of Humanity that they are.

They behave well. They don't insult people, demand free work, or otherwise act like dorks. Even when a random fan comes into gails own forum, and discusses her work in a scathing disagreement with her treatment of a character (See some of the threads in which BoP and Shiva are discussed) Gail doesn't, as some 'talented people' might, fly off the handle, demand that people respect her creativity, tell them to shut up, or even get upset. She calmly reads it, perhaps is sad that what she was trying to do didn't please that person, and then goes on being the excellent human being she is.

In response, we treat these people as heros and friends. They are our inspiration, and our friends. We joke with them, smile with them, and are enriched for having known them.

We do sometimes treat them with more respect and forgiveness than we might other people. Because they've done the same for us in the past. Because they've put out, and shown up, and put their Money (litterally, see Larry Dixon, and the YABS room offer on the Cape thread.) where their mouth is.

I'm not inclined to treat 'Talented People' better than I would anyone else. If they're decent human beings, they'll earn my respect, my tollerance, and forgiveness, just like every other person on the planet.

If they're not, they're free to wander off a cliff, just like every other person on the planet.

I don't much care for J-Bolt, but I'm not familiar with him, and really not interested in being so, which is why I don't often post to this thread, but this, and OMAR's post about how 'like other creative people, J-bolt is more sensetive to things' yada yada, paraphrase, because I'm lazy.

I think that's BS, and excusing bad behaviour for creativity should /never fly./

They aren't gods. They're people. And their life, much like everyone elses should be held to this simple standard.

Is your life improving anyone elses on earth? if Not, Change.

What she posted Dwight. I'm sorry if I came across as angry and mean here. Its just that for the longest time it was like if a comic wasn't produced or the Bombshell movie didn't happen the YABS board members were pulling a JFK conspiracy in Hollywood to sabatoge J-Bolt.

When it looked like a peace flag was made and people were ready to move on and give him a chance to produce and actually support him , J-Bolt seemed ok. She did free work on his site and most of us gave him a 2nd chance to show us his work.

But sadly that seems to be washed away now. And I have nothing bad to say about J-Bolts gf. She shouldn't even be involved in this and I do wish the 2 the best. I welcome her to the board and CBR . Visit the other boards . As I told J-Bolt in 2004 the CBR forums is a big place . He doesn't have to stay on one thread. He seems to like comics so why not post in the Marvel/DC and Indies boards ?

In the end what can ya say. I honestly wanted to see J-Bolt turn over a new leaf. I'd hate to think I'm a sucker that way for people.

When firestormer the nucleus man has two men turn into one man with his head on fire, that does not mean that two men can touch each other and turn into one man with their head on fire in real life.

... Wait...

Not to derail a thread, nor take a combative tone, but..

I absolutely, fundamentally, deeply disagree with this statement.

Talented people deserve to be treated 'better' than normal people?!?!

Yes because that makes it better. Take Galileo. When he thought about how gravity works and looked at stars, he was being better than normal people who just thought, hey, who cares about gravity or stars? When he later started worshipping the devil then the church should've said, "hey it's okay to worship the devil that's your thing and we don't care and we won't lock you up." If we, and by we I mean human people, had just said it's okay for Galileo to worship the devil instead of locking him up then rockets would've been around sooner, by like a few hundred years most likely if you think about it. I'd rather have rockets now.

Although, this is hard for me because I don't think that liberals should be allowed to worship the devil ALTHOUGH I'd be more okay with liberal devil worship in the media if it was for something useful like satellite lasers or something. TOTALLY OFFTOPIC: Hey democrat party, why not use liberal holywood to think up better guns instead of making movies like Garfield?

Anyway, that's why normal people shouldn't get treated as well as talented people. I am not certain if the devil worship thing is totally true but my brain/instincts tell me it probably is so there it is.

And I think it's a pretty serious thing that Galigleo was worshipping the devil like liberals. And also it is sad that liberals cannot seem to build anything like a rocket or science UNLIKE other people who did. My life is not a joke and neither is worshipping the devil which is something that should not happen UNLESS it is for something good at the same time like in Galileo times.

I would love to know what J-Bolt has planned for the future.
Will the comic book and movie be coming out this year?
What about your personal life? Anything new and exciting?
Do tell.....inquiring minds want to know! How about a clue?

I love the new Wolff and Marinna pics! They look awesome!
I can't wait to see new pics of your other characters!

Always your biggest fan! Big Grin


Well, "biggest fan"...
Actually, the film won't be coming to theaters this year as pre-production is almost completed and it will take a good deal of time for production, post-production and promotion. With that in mind, when it is released, we're working on making it as close to a Valentine's Day release as possible.
As for my personal life, I've met a great lady, whereas a brilliant romance is ensuing. Is that personal, new and exciting enough for ya'? Thanks for the "inquiring."
I'm glad you like the new Wolff and Marinna graphics. As I've announced in the news section of the site, they'll be appearing on merchandise in the LBE Online Store soon. Be sure to keep an eye out for that.
We're always adding new graphics of other characters and have really stepped up timelines on doing so, as you've seen in 2007's updating. Currently, we're also working on a new poster that contains every, single, one of our characters on it so that you can have a humongous reference to all the LBE long-underwear-wearing talent.
Glad to have you as a fan and anxious to keep hearing back from you.

Ok now who is this ? Because I just spit my pop out laughin so hard. See J-Bolt your losin the West Coast , Dr.Dre hood readership as well. HOLLA.

[Dwight R. Vlahos]

No, Dwight is Dwight.

You know the best thing about him? He talks exactly like he writes.

Dwight! Are you coming to SDCC again this year?

Thank you much MacQuarrie. Oh, and Bash Forum, after the copious amounts of many negative comments, I decided that it was prudent to take at least three passes at this before letting it get posted. If the reason is not obvious, I will make it plain: it takes too much energy to defend against the negative minds of others that express themselves. This is not just BELIEF it is called a FACT which means that it is beyond TRUTH, and not just because I believe in it.

As for SDCC, I am not sure. Since Ilsa has come back to her place in my current housing situation, she's been using her 'woman ways' to get me focused less on the comics and more on the business. I MAY be able to swing a visit if I can convince her that there are people there who are interested in in making a couple-extra of thousand dollars a month working 8 to 10 hours a week. Between that and the opportunity to bring editorial skills to those that need them desperately soon, it may be a possible outcome, but we'll have to see.

How about you? Maybe you can help me, I'm in the process of helping Ilsa expand the business in the area known as the internet and I'm looking for um... go-getter types. Do you KNOW or THINK YOU KNOW anybody like that who may be at the SDCC this year?

All of J-bolt's creations were apparently in 1988... his newest creation is dated 1994.

That looks like a rejected He-Man character.

Really why are we wasting our time. We already know how this stories gonna go.


1. We all mock and laugh , and yes we'll mock that J-Bolt to our hearts content. And Mock.....and laugh and poke fun at him for weeks here and at his site.

2. He'll never go back to his old site or retract what he said about SK716 . Even though she did all that free work and he buried her in his long winded and confusing diatribe as usual.

3. He'll claim were holdin him down as usual and it'll all go back and forth.


We already know JB's spent 7 to 8 years creating 1 comic. We've shared the laughs. We know the movie talk and have whispered delusional. Why start poking him with a stick so he'll go crazy as usual ? He isn't an Olney as we see. He's just someone who had big dreams and hasn't delivered. Its more pathetic than evil.

See, I don't see it that way. J doesn't actually set out to rip people off; he just never manages to pull off the miracles upon which his schemes tend to depend. He's the king of good intentions.

Olney hires people knowing he can't pay them. He's deliberately dishonest. J-Bolt is unrealistic. Big difference.

What pisses me off about Olney is not so much that he is a scam artist...although adds a lot too it, but that he blames everybody else for his mistakes. That is exactly what J-Bolt did with SK...and that really pisses me off.

[TCJohnson]

Actually, I think J-Bolt and Olney are exactly the same.

I don't think Olney starts off wanting to rip people off either. I think he is so delusional that he thinks he is going to be so successful with his books that he is going to be able to pay back all the people who have been loyal to him.

Him and J-Bolt are exactly the same.

This is more sadly more true than a priest injected with a serum made out of bible juice. I wished that I could keep up with my fan support but it makes it difficult. How do you sperate great art from artists that are not so great? I do love bombshell and the lightinging bolt netnerment stable of caricatures because I could see them easily in a crossover with the one true Deathlok (1985 version, Luther Manning, except no substittues). this has all inspired me to work harder on Ilsa's business and to 'get back in the game' of writing about comics and the entertainments.

J-Bolts nearly the same. He however stops when he knows he's bitten off too much. When MacQuarrie pushed him on selling movie points on E-Bay he backed down. J-Bolt tries things but he fails since they depart reality so much its unlikely his idea will work.

[Gail Simone]

They both share the same core problem--they want to be Stan Lee, loved by millions, respected by all, famed for their creations. In short, they want to be rock stars, with all the fame, money and groupies that entails. But they don't want to learn to master their instrument. They don't want to work any crap gigs, but go straight to Lalapalooza. They refuse any criticism at all because it threatens their dream/delusion that they're well on their way to being something.

They want to be Steven Spielberg, but they don't want to work to do it. So they're both lazy and their work sucks because they won't perfect their craft.

They think by adopting mannerisms of successful talents, they will become like that talent. It's the same as the tone-deaf weirdos on American Idol who want to be Mariah Carey, but don't want to learn to sing.

They don't do the work. And what little work they do is crappy, Mary-Sue-laden garbage that makes you sick to look at because it's so amateurish and juvenile. J-bolt casts himself as the romantic lead in his pretend movie, Rick Olney deludes himself that ANYONE wants to read a story with his stupid ass in it...that sort of thing is classic narcissism, and they both have enough to amuse therapists for years to come.

They've accomplished nothing, and yet they demand to be respected as if they have. J-bolt in particular has invented a vast pile of non-accomplishments and pretends anyone's ever heard of him outside of being made fun of. Rick Olney takes credit for the work of others, scams everyone around him, and somehow feels that his 'true reputation' is that people like him and ACTUALLY WANT his shitty, amateurish stories.

It's just laziness and foolishness. A rep is earned, not invented.

[Magneto_X]

Tom:

J-Bolt has an even bigger ego than Olney, IMHO. he just works on a smaller scale and can't hire anybody without paying them. Not sure if he sincerely knows he can't pay for people's time and effort or not.

He's still small fry to Olney, of course.

No matter how many people explain to him not to get ahead of himself and to stop exaggerating his abilities it never seems to truly sink in.

Even Olney never wore a "mask" to stop from being accosted by invisible fans/paparazzi if they "recognised" him.

That kind of behavior is getting into insanity territory. J-Bolt needs a therapist

Exactly. At any business you can't come in and expect to Main Event or sell out arenas. Read the U2 book ( which is awesome people ). Bono details all the crap gigs and shows they did. How they sucked for months and months. Then they learned and slowly became U2. There are guys who work their way up the ladder. I always loved this promo by Shawn Micheals because its sybomlized how hard he had worked as he came in as a little tag team wrestler and now he had finally became....A STAR.

" I came in here years ago thru the door ( sets up ladder ) .I started to climb the ladder of success as you all didn't give a damn. Step by step , win by win ( slowly climbs up ladder til he sits on top) and finally the Heart Break Kid stands on top of the heap. Top of the ladder as Da Man ! "

J-Bolt and Olney want all the awards and prestige but haven't done anything to earn it. Pay your dues gentlemen. Pay your fuckin dues.

It seems to me sort of irrelevant in regard to working the way up the later.

Because you can't start working your way up and till you have done SOME work.

J-Bolt has to do the work, it is inescapable, he is being cruel and nasty in the face of selfless help, often undeserved help, because he is an internet curiousity.

There are hundreds of people out there, even on these boards, scraping the money together to make something, trying desperately hard, these people who have done some work...in some ways I can sympathise as he is basically a guy with a dream, but he has to do something eventually.

The Never Ending board for instance is full of talented people, with very small numbers of people reading the posts, yet this guy has generated interest for good or ill and he is squandering it with no product, no nothing.

He is not the Ed Wood of comics, Ed Wood made movies eventually, until he does something he is not worth the time or effort, of insulting or riling up.

Maybe if he did the work he could someday be a well known comics figure, who knows ? anything in life is possible with determination...the best thing a thread like this brings is inspiration to make sure I/you follow through, so I/you don't ever turn into someone selling vapourware with hyperbole.

bible juiceCommunion wine?

the one true Deathlok (1985 version, Luther Manning, except no substittues).Um, try 1975.

[Dwight R. Vlahos]

Communion wine?

Um, try 1975.

SIGH. I do not understand the comments, but 1985 is the year from which Deathlok sprang. He then travelled back to 1974, in an ironic twist of time travel, that propelled the rest ofhis (aka Luther Manning the one true Deathlok) amazing, pre-loss of brain adventures which started with Astonishing Tales number tewentyfive. As a matter of factual truth, had Marvel not mucked around with the Deathlok continuity they could have revived the character in the actual 1985 in some potentially lucrative crossovers with that OTHER 1985 time travel adventure movies Back to the Futures 1, 2 and number 3. Which is a shame but which shows how badly Marvel has consistantly managed their products in many ways since then. I recently talked about this very topic on my "blog". *see People who are not morons understand that Continuity Creates Opportunity at the previously mentioned "blog" for referential to this very topic discussed here and also there*

Also, it is unlikely that distilling the Holy Bible into a juice would make it wine. It was meant to be a metaphor for something that is really good for a HUMAN soul, like helping people to be smarter by offering good thoughts. communion wine is NOT, repeat NOT, made from distilled bibles.

That's my biggest problem with J-Bolt.

Today I really looked through the site Shelly made for him. As nice as the site looks I was struck how it's a whole lot of nothing.

Check out the Store, despite supposedly having a couple divisions of his "company" for merchandising, all there is available is a crummy stamp from Cafepress.

Take a look under Company and you get long listing of stuff that does its darnest to be impressive but again, it is nothing. From 1987 on he's done nothing.

This was the most telling statement to me:

Following the first pieces of publicity, he became the youngest new comic book publisher to attend numerous autograph signings, not to mention the fact that he did so, not even having yet published the first issue.

You don't become a publisher by making a claim. You become a publisher by publishing. Twenty years ago he claimed to be a publisher and he's still yet to publish a damn thing.

That's pretty insulting to anyone who has had a dream to publish comics and gave it their all. Some succeeded, some failed...nearly all worked themselves to the bone. Whether it's running off B&W mini-comics at Kinkos or starting up a company like Devil's Due, these people are working to make it happen.

You can't sit back for decades telling people what you are going to do while also demanding accolades for those unrealized deeds.

You sure as hell don't treat people who help out of the goodness of their hearts as underlings.

Twenty years...man, if I had started doing this twenty years ago...

[Dwight R. Vlahos]

Ah, I gotcha now. I thought you meant the first comic came out in '85.

Of course not. Distilling would make it hard liquor. Fermenting would make it wine.

the key point being that holy juice makes better humans, if by juice it is understood we mean goodness for the HUMAN soul. But I am pretty certain that it is not a good idea to fermenting a bible or a good idea to distilling it either, but drinking metaphoric holy juice does make for better human people!

Thing is, I've seen Stan Lee beyond the mask in interviews and in person. I had the pleasure of shaking his hand.

The persona he does is tongue-in-cheek. He's a down to earth guy who probably sits around in a bathrobe waiting for his coffee to brew in the morning.

He's charming and a little bit self-effacing. He's a quiet guy who gets LOUD as part of a routine.

Grant Morrison takes the role of hype man a bit more to heart but he's also a quiet, conscientious guy on some level. He's a low talker who loves animals and wishes that people wouldn't nuke eachother.

Olney and J-Bolt try to make a fire where there's no heat. And while I may be alone in this, I wouldn't fault them for releasing one book once every two years and hyping the dickens out of it.

But have some humanity, some humility, some charm. In my book, if you're a nice guy who makes an effort to pay his debts, go ahead and keep your head in the clouds. But show some perspective and show some empathy for other people along the way.

It IS interesting that you mention Spielberg, Gail.

This article (http://www.snopes.com/movies/other/spielberg.asp) is worth reading regarding Spielberg's penchant for con artistry and embellishment.

Nothing wrong with a little flash and dazzle... But really talented showfolk make mundane things sound extraordinary and difficult or mundane things sound fun and easy.

Olney and Fisher try too hard to make extraordinary things sound like mundane parts of their lives and they both tend to make easy things sound difficult.

A good showman doesn't try to convince you that what they're doing is difficult. A good showman does something difficult and then convinces you it's easy.

Olney and Fisher try too hard to make extraordinary things sound like mundane parts of their lives and they both tend to make easy things sound difficult.

A good showman doesn't try to convince you that what they're doing is difficult. A good showman does something difficult and then convinces you it's easy.

Well said, Pat.

Hype all you want when you make something. You've earned that right.

Don't expect laurel wreaths when you've never run a race.

There's no call for such crude personal insults, certainly not at Jo's expense.

She calls herself "J'
s Lady" All she does is fawn after him. She has NO sense of self. She has no thing resembling a life if her own. She is like a puppet.

J-Bolts nearly the same. He however stops when he knows he's bitten off too much. When MacQuarrie pushed him on selling movie points on E-Bay he backed down. J-Bolt tries things but he fails since they depart reality so much its unlikely his idea will work.

It was F. Chong Rutherford who really nailed that point. As an independent filmmaker, F-Dot knows a lot more about how movies are financed than I do. Anything I said was just repeating him. Credit where it's due.

You can't sit back for decades telling people what you are going to do while also demanding accolades for those unrealized deeds.
My kids are sick of hearing it: "Don't brag about what you're going to do. Do what you're going to do, then brag about what you did."

It's really that simple.
