Lou
When I was first aware of this I thought it would just blow over and really didn’t follow it. I thought just another forum war no big deal.
Sorry Lou If I had realized it was this serious I would have followed it.
Ditto Ben’s Post x 10
Take a break but stay on board.

Lou,

You know that we all respect you and appreciate the work you have put in for the industry. CAP has grown to be one of the most powerful and the largest gaming affiliate forums in the industry over last few years. During this time you have stood up for the affiliate community and were a star in resolving issues. It is not always easy to maintain the balance between the affiliate’s and the operator’s expectations on a forum and you get an A+ in doing so. But growth is always accompanied by its share of pains. Every day we make choices in life and a few turn out to be bad and leave a sour taste. But no one is perfect and we all learn from experiences to adapt and be smarter the next time. This is not a perfect world and we need to understand our strengths and synergies as a community. We need to cooperate & coordinate to leverage the synergies and stand together for the right cause.

I assume it will not be unfair to request to consider reversing the recent bans and welcome the members back to the forum. We live in a free world and right to freedom of speech is what online forums thrive on and curbing this hurts the community. However it is also expected that the members would act maturely and refrain from personal attack/ humiliation.

It is important to note that the industry is big enough to accommodate multiple successful communities. Healthy competition and friendly coordination between these would benefit the entire affiliate community.

United we stand, divided we fall!

I wish you good health and hope you get a well deserving break from work. I believe there is always a win-win situation and I am sure you guys will be successful in reaching an agreement.

Good fishing Professor!

Prof you would be a tremendous loss to our industry, your influence is priceless.

Plus you can't check out yet as I still owe you £40 from when I lost my wallet in London and you took care of me!

I think it's time for me to step in here and make a post as well. I have spent quite a bit of time with Lou, possibly more than anyone else here on the forums. Here are a few things we know about him... One is he is passionate. The guys does care a lot about the people here and knows most every member by name and portal. Another is that he has treated this forum like his baby and that's the #1 reason why there are 8k members here now.

Here's a little known fact. In 2004 in Vegas at the CAC conference I met with Lou for the first time. I was asking everyone for their input on Bingo and he told me a few helpful things. I said my thanks and walked off to the next booth. Later on that evening the owner of a bingo network came to me and said he had spoke with the Professor and found I had an interest in the game. 3 weeks later I was running my own bingo program and learned MUCH of what I know now from that trial by fire process. I actually credit 2 people for introducing me into this business, one of them is Lou. (the other Jeremy Enke)

No secret that we have worked together in the past and I was actually a client of Lou's for 2.5 years previous to me coming onto PAP. Lou was a fair boss and actually a hell of a nice guy. Like I said before he is really passionate about what he does. Another thing I respected about him was the fact that he was legit. He actually knew what it was like to run a gaming portal.

Now I am once again working on the affiliate side of the business with Tower Gaming. I'm excited to back in the mix and doing business with my friends here. If Lou is signing off and focusing on things outside of CAP then I wish him the best. The guy taught me a **** load about this business and for that I am thankful.
