Can Anyone Verify That Drew did die?

[12voltyV2.0]

Somebody on a posting elsewhere on the board said that there is talk that Drew did indeed die and that the site is for sale.

Can anyone verify if both pieces of information are correct or if that is just speculation?

Thanks.

I've spoken with Drew's family and he did indeed pass away. His brother is working on finding new owners for the sites Drew owned and operated. It's indeed true.

If this is even true since it's coming from a troll and confirmed/verified liar like you , what did Drew die from or what was the cause of death?

If Drew's "brother" thinks he'll any money from re-hosting this site or the other porn sites "Drew" ran "he" should think again as nobody in the porn biz even on internet porn sites makes any type of money from it these days, and it's a waste of time, and money. LOL

[NjbiGuy01]

Pole_smoker, do us all a favor and fuck off.

I was in discussions to work for and with Drew to moderate this forum to remove cancer's like you from it and get it back in shape. Suddenly he stopped responding to e-mails and PM's. I was able to track down Drew's sister in-law, who forwarded my e-mail to her husband who is Drew's brother Barry. They confirmed he passed. They didn't volunteer any more information other than confirming this. I don't need to prove anything to you, nor do I gain anything from spreading misinformation. Why would it matter what he passed from or me knowing the details or not ? I guess you were hoping he had AIDS, so you could make fun of him and gloat like you did about Charlie Sheen ? You're a sick fuck. You only believe what you want to, and substitute your own bullshit when things don't suit you. Right before you berate people and call them "diseased". Your SOP....fucking clown.

I'm hoping someone takes the site over soon, just to see your sorry ass banned and blocked.

Okay........Okay........EVERYBODY take a their hands off their keyboards and just take a DEEP BREATH! I love this site.....I have met many friends on here....some even in person. For that , I owe DREW a huge THANK YOU! When I heard he had passed.......I was BUMMED! I mean....think about it.....how long did he run this site.....and for what? I don't think it was for the $$$$.....cause anytime he tried to come up with a money making idea most of the members balked. So, for him to do what he did.....for as long as he did it....can we all bow our heads........say a little prayer/thought to ourselves or whomever......and think of the guy in a kind way?

Sometimes, human nature does not allow us to appreciate something until it is all gone ......let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Lets try to fix this site before it is too late.

If you want to see a troll/cancer to this site who spreads misinformation, and someone who has STDs and lies about it look at yourself.

No I would not wish HIV/AIDS upon anyone, even though my husband and I are neg we know women and men who are HIV+, and I did not gloat or make fun of Charlie Sheen I simply posted old news about him that's pretty obvious.

Wow...hope it's not true but if it is...RIP brother...hope the site continues to be available.

[12voltyV2.0]

I kind of felt that this had to be the case----I didn't think that he would just stop paying attention to it--even if we might have been a pain in the ass for him---it did seem like a labor of love kind of thing for him.

I am bummed that Drew did die. I hope his death did not come in the way I have a feeling it did happen. There had been word going around at one point that he was dealing with depression and was going through a particularly rough bout of that disease and hope that if that rumor was true---the disease did not lead him to an end that so many depressive people meet, the taking of their own lives.

Well--at least we now know for sure----thanks for sharing the information you all found.

Sure is a bummer, though.

[NjbiGuy01]

I know his brother is working towards finding a buyer for the site. I don't know much about what a domain might be worth but the numbers we discussed are way out of my range, especially for a site that does not generate any outright revenue. I imagine with banners, click through's and perhaps a small membership fee it might make some money. He does have plans to attempt a sale through Sedo soon, which is a website sales site .

In any case, the site certainly needs moderation and someone to "take out the garbage" here (as witnessed by Pole_smokers insistence on lying and his inability to play well with others ever). Even in a thread about someone passing away, you find it necessary to be a vitriolic asshole. You need help buddy. I hope you get it before someone caves your face in with their fist.

I only post stuff to retaliate against trolls such as yourself who feel the need to obsess/stalk/flame/troll me and other people who you do not like in pretty much a lot of your posts as you have done ever since I joined this site. You're actually the one that needs help! LMAO!

Myself and others here who are not trolls find it suspicious that you're the only one claiming that 'Drew' died and that you have contact with his supposed family, yet you offer and show no proof of this at all, besides your postings and we all know how you are a known/verified liar, and troll.

A 'labour of love'? Please, this is an amateur porn/sex site and always has been.

Like I would share personal family information with a lunatic like you pole_smoker ? That's freaking hysterical. Like his family needs some nut-job like you bothering them ?

FWIW: He passed in September of 2014. I don't care whether you (or anyone else) chooses to believe it or not.

LMAO show actual proof or STFU.

BTW, they did have a nut-job bother them, you were the nut job and severely mentally ill person that obsesses about "Drew", this site, and you think you run it but you''re just an internet troll with STDs and mental health issues.

Here is another site owned and ran by Drew. The custodian of record link offers plain enough information if anyone desired to look him up. I have no reason to doubt NjBiGuy01 did not do that. He does seem to have a valid interest in this site, for whatever reason/s. It would seem logical if he desired to buy the site, he would come to know who owned, operated it.

I disagreed with the idea of Drew generating revenue with this site specifically. I had understood in reading from him at different times, he ran Three Pillows and may have been involved in one or two other sites which generated revenue. My reason for disagreeing with him generating revenue here was that he had created this site with what I understood as something more altruistic than making money. I did not mind if he linked to a site/other sites which made him money here. But I felt this site ought to remain free to keep its vision.

That noted, it was the only real disagreement I had with Drew. He spoke with me once regarding some uncouth behavior on my part. I was put on the time out bench for a day. There was no trouble after that. Drew even let me act as a tester for the last site update, and offered one month free as a paid fan club member. It is from this I saw there was no advantages, at least for myself, to paying for membership. Think Drew understood this and my disagreeing over the site generating revenue. He never said as much but this was his way of saying a lot, letting you be to be.

And it is that vision he encapsulated here which garners my respect for him as a friend. No, I have no illusions. He did not let us have free and paid members to comply to my whims. i know a lot better. If he had desired, the site would be all for pay. He desired pleasing others, yes. Someone had told him this site had to earn money. So, he balanced and offered some features for paying members but let free members remain free members. I can understand the adversity in following that balance he faced.

I'm just someone passing through this void we call the world. All I keep are the memories, love, light. The rest will fade and wither away at any given. Drew offered us a glimpse of Light. For that I am glad to have known him as a friend and have the capacity to offer sympathy, empathy, respect for his family. He was a wonderful person as far as I'm aware. Excuse me.

[NjbiGuy01]

Yes, that's exactly what I did Void. Honestly: It really doesn't take freaking CSI to investigate who owns a domain ! I simply looked up the ownership of the sites, then contacted the domain host and eventually ended up in contact with the family who explained what had happened. Simple as that. While I guess there will be some people who refuse to accept it, it's the truth and I gain nothing by lying about it. Anyone with common sense would realize that. Perhaps I should warn them about Pole ? "Show proof or STFU". Seriously ? You Ass-Pole ? No, I'm not intimidated by you Pole, nor should anyone else be. You clearly hide behind your keyboard trying to prove your sanity while the keyboard is a substitute for your lack of manhood.

Me saying Drew is alive or dead changes what ? It changes absolutely nothing. Just like asshole-Pole claiming people are diseased or trolls when they call him out for it. Let's see: I have 550 or so posts since August 2007. Ass-pole has over 4000 since August 2014, a majority of which are pure garbage. Prior to Ass-Pole showing up, I had zero altercations with a soul here. I posted, responded, and had constructive dialogues with people. I met some people as well. Ass-Pole on the other hand: A large majority of his posts are useless poles about even more useless subjects, disgusting pictures nobody really cares to see, and accusations that anyone who disagrees with him is "a diseased troll"... Who's the nut job now asswipe ?

The site is still on auto-pilot. Drew's brother appears to be preparing to sell it and seems uninterested in taking on a moderator.

Of-course there are those of us who have no common sense or are simply insane. It's pretty obvious that the highly unstable Pole refuses to accept any of this, just like all the realities he refuses to acknowledge and substitutes his own bent idea of "truth".

Sadly Drew is gone. RIP sir.

* sits chuckling over this bit commentary * Who owns AOL? * lol * At one point from my own research of AOL, they were part of a Japanese keretzui (sp?). Think of these as being similar to mafioso kind of trusts. It is allowed in Japan for many smaller business to combine, much like we in America use conglomerates. These businesses once combined become a family operated as one unit with an inner board. These families create trusts which are different from how America defines trusts, they are not monopolies. One has to be careful in regards of thinking of such families of companies. Not a lawyer or business person here. Just knew what I had read up on at the time. And AOL eventually bought Time Warner / Warner Brothers, from what I gather over the past few years it all comes back under the Sony family in some way/s.

You're correct though, it does not require much beyond a desire to know, to look things up. This was how I learned HTML well enough to have at one time gotten certified to code HTML 4. Now, I may eventually get re-certified via W3Schools to code HTML 5. But if so it will be later on. I only get the certification for personal reasons. "Ha! I thought I could. I did! Ha!" At present I piddle with bash scripting, c, a little Perl, a little Lisp, a bit of that, some of this. I also do a limited bit of writing, nothing professional. I also do odd jobs that country folk do, I tend my wife's laundry & keep our room as tidy as I can. I love my critter kids and tend them. All in I'm a simple house hubby. Seems I'm not sane enough for the insane world at large. I'm alright with that.

Run 'er slow.

It is sad if it is true and I feel for those closest to him for their loss... however, someone must be looking after his estate of which this site must be a part... his executors or heirs, even if they have a personal distate for the site, its members and its content. Common courtesy dictates that some1 keeps us updated as to what is going.. some members pay for the privilege of enhanced membership and they arent getting it, or at least not all of it.

It is not that I doubt the information that Drew has died.. but as yet no one has officially told us... not family, lawyer or anyone involved in running the site or at least attending to its maintenance and upkeep. Njbiuy has provided us with infomation but while I dont doubt its authenticity or his integrity, it doesn't advance us one bit and if anything throws greater doubt of.com's future.

I agree, everyone here is kind of in a limbo. Something I'd thought of is having the site use micro-finance invoicing for a monthly subscription. Think I suggested something like 5,000 members at $0.25 a month to you. That kind of financing would cover the site costs, maybe offer a token payment to moderators, article writers, content creators. Though, any variables as far as user number and monthly charge could be used. What I did was just quick and dirty maths.

The big problem lies in attracting a greater number. I have trouble seeing it as there generally are fewer bisexual people. Leaving site as open format regarding sexuality, like Drew has it, could draw more. I say could because the site needs something to attract users. As it is there's not any quality content, and content for lack of better terms is King/Queen. That leads to a catch 22. You need content to attract users, but money to buy content. Both are needed to keep it balanced and functional.

Much as I dislike the notion of money, I see it keeps things going presently. I see too the site would need it, if only to sustain itself. That said, excess money collected could go into a fund to help --- the hungry, animals, veterans, education, medical research, safe sex aids/education, user decided cause. This possibly could set the site up as a non-profit. Not too sure or keen on all that myself, know others that are though. But I'm just gabbing here, it might be nice to let the users own the site, as a trust. Gabbing only though, not offering to hold the bag, or to be the one 'in charge'. Sorry, that's not me. I'm just wee little injun what hides off in the woods. Got enough on my plate in just being myself, thanks.

But yes, we need to sort ourselves I think.

All I can say is my last communication with Drew's brother indicated he planned a sale of Three Pillows and this site. I doubt I could afford it (based on what he thinks the sites are worth) and I already own and operate my own business, so my time and financial resources are pretty extended at this point. My offer to be involved as a moderator has received no response.

Honestly, I understand how nobody here has any reason to believe me, but think about this: What would I gain by telling you Drew is dead, on the moon, or an alien ? I'm simply reporting what I was told. I'd love to see the site prosper under new ownership, gain some moderation to the forum, and continue. Time will tell I guess. Believe whatever you choose-to.

Please dont get me wrong. I don't disbelieve u in the least.. it is not a criticism of u. Nothing was farther from my mind. When a loved one dies it is very distressing and things slide.. people who should know are not informed.. I have no wish to iinflict any more pain on anyone than they have already suffered... we all know the problems the site has had in the last 15 months or so.. what members need is for those who currently own and/or run .com to inform them offically about Drew and what they intend and hope to do with this site . No more than that. Is that too much to ask?

I don't disagree. I also appreciate the confidence a number of posters have put out there. Despite these nasty comments from others, I gain nothing from putting this out there. I had some brief discussions with Drew about assisting with moderating the site early last year. Sadly he stopped responding. I held off on saying anything until the family actually confirmed his passing. I guess we have to sit and wait until the site changes hands or the family gets involved if they can't sell it.

Sadly, it seems that Drew's brother/family has no interest in the site and simply is looking to unload it. While I agree that it would be nice if the family posted something here about it, I doubt we'll see that.

This speaks volumes about how you have LMAO zero confidence; but you're an internet troll so that's not surprising to anyone here.

If 'Drew' did die, he was silly to have never made anyone else a co-administrator, or moderator of this site but he clearly was never good at owning and running a website like this.

Finance would be a restriction on my end. Have time to devote yet not the finances. I'm not interested in the Three Pillows site either. Sure, I could see the value in running an adult entertainment site. That is not the issue for me. Finance is a royal pain in impolite places. In order to finance one, the other is feasible yet you need to finance the content of it. And you're hinting at a steep entry fee to begin, so yes, finances are the monster.

LMAO!!! "People" who think that there is any sort of value or that you'll become rich from running a porn site or even making porn like "Drew" did are delusional. Even during the 70s and 80s when porn was only available in magazines, on actual film/BetaMax and later VHS, bought in stores or ordered via mail order nobody made lots of money in porn.

[tenni]

I'm saddened to read this news about Drew. It is not that I/we all did not wonder what was happening though. He seemed like a good man from Calgary, Alberta. He was good enough to offer this site free to bisexuals in a time where there really was not other sites for bisexuals....that I ever knew about.

Thank you Drew.

I agree with your co-administrator comment. But, many of us disagree with your opinion of how he ran this website.

[tenni]

I may be wrong but I believe that originally he had a co administrator or founded it with another guy and that guy left the site. I could be wrong and it was another site.
