The Future Of JP

Greetings All:

Wow, what a grand adventure this whole AntiOnline thing has been! I really didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started it way back in highschool :george:

But, the future of AntiOnline is now out of my control, so I guess the only destiny that I hold in my hands now is my own (haha, sorry, but that's as sentimental as this post is going to get).

At any rate, instead of this being a log diatribe, I think I'll use the number system:

1. Yes, AntiOnline has been acquired by Jupiter Media (nasdaq: JUPM). I really felt that I had done all that I could to foster the community's growth, and that it would need a large company to help take it to the next level. Also, while I love conversing with the users of the site, learning from them, and helping them learn from me, I've grown to dispise the hassles involved in day-to-day maintenance of it, etc. etc. It was just starting to take up too much of my day, which left me with less time to do the things that I really love doing.

2. Yes, I KNOW that Jupiter Media is getting rid of the IRC Server. I've gotten a lot of e-mail about it already, so you can stop it now (heh). I will be opening up a new irc server at irc.securitalk.com (it's not up yet, but will be up before the irc.antionline.com server closes). Jupiter Media has been kind enough to agree to help make sure that all of the old irc users know about where the new meeting place will be.

3. I am MOVING TO FLORIDA!!!!! Orlando here I come! Why Florida you might ask? Well, because I think it's nice there. Three w00ts for no snow, and warm temperatures! I may have been born here, but Pennsylvania really is a scourge. The only thing I've ever gotten for the high state taxes that I pay is free anti-radiation pills. I have no idea what in the heck I'm going to do when I get there, but I'm going!

4. What does the future of my career hold? I don't know. I guess since I've sold the domains, and shut down the company, I am kind of officially unemployed. Food Stamps, Food Stamps, Food Stamps!

5. How to get ahold of me? Well, I'll still be on the boards every now and again. Plus Jupiter Media is letting me keep the [email protected] e-mail account for a year. I'll slooowly begin letting everyone know about my brand-new cool e-mail account, [email protected] Feel free to start sending your e-mails to me there. However, please keep in mind, I no longer own the site, so you'll have to start sending your complaints about it to Jupiter Media, heh :booty:

Welp, that's it. Short, sweet, and to the point. I'll leave this thread open in case I forgot anything, you can ask it here.

Also, does anyone know of somebody that might be looking to hire an unemployed security geek? :hello:

No Way Jp

Hahahahah, JP is FREEEEEEEEE


I really dont think Jup Media knows how evil us geeks can get.

We will see how they will handle it, i put my money on suicide within a year. Anyone want in on the bets?

Good luck, JP. Godspeed.

JP, we appreciate everything that you have done for us as far as AO is concerned - I know that it has been my number one site to frequent during the day and at night for a while now.. Thank you for the knowledge you have provided, thank you for providing a place to learn, and thank for you giving us the chance to pass our knowledge to others... It has been a great ride and I believe will continue to be..

Good luck with your future and enjoy Florida!

Hey JP, I'd just like to say, good luck dude, I've talked to you a few times on IRC, and you've done a great job with AntiOnline, It should be fun moving to Flordia, and well, I can't really hire you yet, becasue I'm a) 14 and b) I have no money, :p But I'm sure your rich enough to live on your own for a few years...:) Good luck.

Ok,JP you gave us this great place and now you leave AO.
Wish you all the best!!!

By the way you still have to block something in Orlando !

You know!

Bye.

Best of luck in everything JP. but hey ill see you on the new IRC more often now that your unemployed. Although im sure that conferences and stuff will keep you busy (if your gonna continue doing them (or should that be starting them again?)) Anyway cya around on IRC !

Well JP, It must have been interesting in the least getting AO to what it is now. Good job... Moving to Florida eh? Heh, your gunna be about 2 hours from Liran and I, scary eh.. ;) As far as a job, once my web solutions company is up and going (about 2 months to completion of all business aspects) we could use a good php coder ;) Shoot me an e-mail if you'd be interested in taking small or large contracts. [email protected] . Well, if your ever in the partying mood look me up and I'll take you guys to south beach and show you what a south florida party is. See ya round.

I have only been here a month or so and have learned more here than any other single source over the last three years.
I know we will here from you, or about you, 'cause your the kinda guy who will excel at whatever he does! Many friends on your journey!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the best......

You and Brad have a great time! :D

regards

i wish you the best of luck even though I never got to meet you/converse with you. i do wonder though, do you know anything about the future of Antionline. What i mean is when you sold the domain and equipment did you include anything that says they have to keep the forums open or is this domain just going to point to their website?

Good luck for the future JP.

Thanks for creating this fantastic website. This site has helped me expand my knowledge and made me a better security professional, and also provided me the opportunity to interact with fantastic people and exchange thoughts and ideas.

good luck JP :)
ive been around the site for what would be about 2 years now and have learnt many things from the forums and such, it even brought me into the world of Linux which is something really great for me

best wishes and best of luck for what the future may bring you

I don't usually partake in these threads because I've only been here since last September. However, it doesn't mean I think/feel it any less.......AO is my home. JP, you've made an awesome place to hang out for tech/security information. I'm sorry you're leaving us all, but I understand there's a whole big bad-ass world out there with a lot to discover! I'm sure you'll do well where ever you go. :)

Melissa

Both of you will be truely missed. God speed.

Best of luck in Florida JP !!!! and whatever the future has in store for you!
you have created not just a site but a wonderful global community of techies to share and learn ideas and information from as well. youve done an outstanding job at that ! and i am very proud and glad that i am a meber and have the chance to be part of it

Thank you for all that you have created here :D
*bows* to the AO god that is JP :D

Take care man !!! and best of luck in everything you do
you'll sadly be missed but never forgotten

damn i hate goodbyes LOL even though i never had the honor to get to speak with you
this sucks =\

sincerly,

You have created a legacy for yourself JP!

I am also sure that you will return from time to time just to stir things up a bit. I never had, or for that matter, never took the oppourtunity to chat with you. I wish now that I had. You leave a mark on all of us that will not soon fade.

As for the educational benefits this site has added to me, I cannot thank you, and anyone else responsible, enough for what you have started here.

As for the future of AO, I am positive that nothing negative will ever come of it. ( LOL... sorry... I just had to make a slight reference to that :halo: )

See you around... :brickwall

My congratulations for reaching the overwhelmingly successful conclusion of this quirky experiment in web-based communities. You have set the standard others dream to reach. May you flourish in all your future endeavors. Very best regards, JP, and don't be a stranger.

I heard that Kevin Mitnick is in need of someone to secure his website. :-)

Wow. It's been done. AO is officially not AO-ish. I'm at a loss for words. I wanna be upset, but at the same time I don't. Who knows wut JUPM will do to the setup. All I can say is that we'll miss you, JP. even those u banned will miss u. For some of us, AO has changed our lives. Personally, it gave me a place to go to learn what my high school considers "ileagal activity" because they don't teach it. It gave m somewhere to go to get away from the ignorance. Thanx again JP. We all owe you.

Hi,

Hey JP, what about becoming an actor and doing a movie about hacking??? haha!!! :D

The typical story where a group of hacking-terrorists get themselves inside an enourmous government building and... who enters the action to stop them???... the legendary JP!!!

This could be a great change in your life, haha!!! :D

Just joking, good luck,

DKRR

Good luck J.P.
It's been fun.

Good Luck JP,

P.S.

Can I have your anti-radiation pills? Massachusetts doesnt even give us that much for our high taxes....

good luck.

and don't get to much sunburn B)

I'm glad to be a part of this emotional scam. lol
Be Happy whatever you do, you have hundreds of blessings with you.

Good luck finding a job in Orlando. I have lived here for over 7 years now, and have been able to stay employed throughout all of those years. However, I have quit a few friends who have extensive experience in the security field, but have been unable to find a job in the local area. The job market really sucks around here right now, which is probably the case in a lot of areas. Most of the large companies in the area are in layoff mode. You will probably have better luck trying to get in with a smaller company.

JP,

If you can't find a job, use those foodstamps for beer and keep your nuts in the white sand...
For the rest , good luck though, and keep on comin' back...

Greetz,

Thanks for two great years. All the best for the future. :)

Ok everybody.... JP doesn't own the site any more....

JP> I thought you were taking the rope off your nutsak so people would stop swinging

Man JP, what you have started is something wonderful and cool. It is sad to hear that the father of this place will not longer be the controller, but I think most of us understand totally from where you are coming. You are a geek, but even geeks to have a little free time for other things! I know from all of us, we are thankful for what you have brought to us, and how you have brought us together! I don't want to sound all sappy :bawling: , but I'm a newbie and I am ve happy for being a part of this community and am sad to see the father of it letting go. But I guess as the kid grows up, it has to move out and become all it can be... and that's what you are letting it do.

With that thought, I wish you the best! And to let you know, we all probably know someone in Flordia now... so

PARTY AT JP's PLACE, I CALL COUCH!

:drink:
