UPDATE: It is now Saturday 6/28, and 95% of the V.I.P system has been coded and designed. There are still a few kinks I need to work out, and some small things to implement, so I decided to delay the release til next week. I’d rather release it when it’s fully functional and up to my standards, rather than release something semi-broken, and then fix it as I go. I don’t think anyone will be devastated over this, but I apologize for those who have been awaiting the release of VIP, but I hope you understand where I’m coming from.

I have been working on implementing the OwnagePranks V.I.P service for a several weeks now, and it is almost complete. If all goes as planned, I should be able to release it this Saturday, June 28th, during my live show. I am still trying to think of new features, but VIP will have the following features as of now:

• Access to the VIP Only Forum
• Custom forum user title
• VIP Member Forum Color (Your forum username will be bold and red)
• Special VIP banner next to your name
• VIP Only Prank Archive Access (Pranks too risky for Stickam and pranks that will be exclusiely available to VIP members)
• VIP Prank Request system.. which will have priority over the free request system
• VIP users get bigger profile pic size/Avatar size and less restrictions overall
• VIPs can have moving GIF avatars/images
• VIP and Forum Admin only Ventrilo voice server

The V.I.P monthly access fee helps reduce the overall hosting and server costs. The price is currently at the low rate of just $4.95 a month, with further discounts on 3 and 6 month prepaid purchases. Purchases can be made using PayPal, the safest way to pay online. Read more about PayPal HERE. We will be getting instant credit card activation payments setup very soon as well. All accounts will be setup instantly after payment. For our younger listeners, Visa gift cards are also available at your local supermarket or Walgreens and can be used online. You can buy these no matter how old you are. Thanks again and remember, every single member helps the cause! Any questions or concerns can be directed to WebMaster(at)OwnagePranks.com . 

Regular forum accounts are and always will be free, so be sure to register ASAP at http://forums.ownagepranks.com and start posting! It will be very easy to upgrade your account to VIP when it is released.

You will be able to register a totally new account, or upgrade your current forum account to V.I.P (to maintain your post count and other statistics) When signing up for VIP, you must use your forum account name, the email you signed up on the forum with, and your forum password to be able to upgrade a current account. Make sure you use a legitimate email when signing up on the forums, but you can go back and change the email on file by editing your forum profile. This is done to prevent anybody from upgrading an account on your behalf, and gaining access to the members area with your alias. This will also help you maintain one, uniform username password for everything on OwnagePranks.com

If you have any other ideas/requests for the OwnagePranks V.I.P service, please comment this block post by clicking COMMENTS below, and leave a response with your suggestion.

Just to clarify, the pranks will always be FREE, but the V.I.P service is just a way for us to raise money to pay for bandwidth and hosting costs, as well as offering people some additional features.

Ownage here, I am writing to announce the return of Mr. Trump. Some of you may remember him from the old days… well not so long ago 2006/2007. But many of you probably have no idea who he is and are thinking why does he go around on the Internet known as Mr. Trump. The answer is he has no clue, but his old nickname was Starbucks a long time ago, so yah he can’t really think of too many good nicks.
Anyway he is returning to co-host with me on hopefully a more regular basis but he still is a busy man with lots of things to do everyday.

The Show Information Will Go As Follows:

Saturday June 14

(9 PM EST/6PM PST) - The show will commence, Ownage and I will be discussing some of the old days and show you some of his first pranks from way back in the day, don’t laugh at Ownages voice before his ballsack dropped.

 (9:30 PM EST/6:30 PM PST) - A mass advertisement effort will happen, we will be counting on everyone to tell absolutely everyone about the show. We will do our usual promotion routines but we hope we can have a lot of success with this one.

(10 PM EST/7PM PST) - The show will officially commence in a live format and will hopefully go on for as much as it can before we die of laughter etc. The show will definitely happpen unless we have severe techinacal issues with the stickam feed, let’s hope for the best. We will be featured on the homepage for at least 2 hours starting at this point.

Also, this will be the scheduled night of the release of our first YOUTUBE video. Be prepared to comment the video, and digg it on digg.com If you don’t have a digg account, register NOW at www.digg.com, further instructions will be given while we are live.

Thanks a lot and hope to see all the good old and new people there.

After helping Stickam beta test their Stickam Pro service, I now have my old profile back. I missed the old functionality of a regular stickam profile, so this means you guys can comment my profile, videos, audio clips, etc once again! To visit my stickam profile where you can hear all the archived content click HERE.

I am working on a lot of new features for the site, some that will hopefully make this 10 times better! I need to speak to a corporate Lawyer to help me with additions to the terms of service on the new system, and other corporate questions, so if you have a parent that’s a lawyer, or a friend that you know wouldn’t mind helping me out, let me know via the contact form. Stay tuned for more updates via this blog!

I have finally decided to install a vBullitin forum on OwnagePranks.com. I am still tweaking the theme a little but, as well as installing some plugins that I think the community may find useful. I am hoping that this will cause the site to be used more often, as well as help the community grow.

To visit the forum click the forum tab at the top. I will officially announce it’s release next time I do a live show, but be sure to REGISTER NOW! If you wait until I’m live the site may be too overloaded to allow everyone to register at once. Once your a member, be sure to poke around and get a feel for the site, and most importantly, meet new people. Don’t forget to introduce yourself on the forum! If there’s anything you’d like to see on the forum, feel free to contact me!

Note: You must use a valid email when regisering, otherwise you won’t receive your activation link, and your account will be pretty useless. You will most likely NEVER receive any emails from me, and your email will obviously not be shared with anyone. Your email is necessary if you subscribe to a thread, or if you need to reset your password.

EDIT: I have gotten tons of emails, and have already contacted the people I was interested in. Thank you to everyone out there who was willing to help. It’s the thought that counts!

I have decided to finally look for help editing recordings. I have about 10-15 full unedited Stickam shows that need to be edited. The recordings range from 2 hours to sometimes 5 hours. If you have professional audio editing software, and have some experience working with it, please contact me and let me know if you’d be interested in helping me out.

if interested, please use the contact page and send me a message. Make sure you fill in the fields correctly, I plan on responding via email. Please outline your experience, and what software you have installed. I will need the show edited so that each GOOD prank is saved as a separate MP3, and the name of the mp3 will describe the prank a little, for example “FleshlightPrankViewMyPast.mp3″ If and when I choose to use you, I will give you my private aim and MSN so that you may contact me. Thanks again for all your help!

Last Saturday I was officially featured on Stickam.com’s home page. This occurred at 9PM PST/12AM EST. The response was absolutely insane, the total viewer count that night was a little over 50,000. Thanks to all the admins that decided to give me a second shot on the front page, I’d say it worked out well. I was emailed the following screen shot of my show reaching 1800 viewers. Although this wasn’t the absolute max, this was the highest number of viewers my show has ever had. The show is growing so fast that it’s kind of scary!

I will post periodic updates on the new high.

As you all can notice, OwnagePranks.com has yet again been re-designed. Danimosh was very busy, and wasn’t able to complete the site in a timely manner, so I hired a professional to re-do the site. Some of the aspects have been kept the same, but the overall layout looks cleaner and more professional. I have also gotten Google ads implemented to the right side of the page, hopefully that will also contribute to us slowly breaking even on the hosting. There will be a lot more frequent updates on the site, now that I can finally consider it “done.” Comment this post and let me know what you guys think about the site, and as always I am open to suggestions!

A few weeks ago Jenna Lynn spoke to me in regards to writing a song about OwnagePranks.com. At first I kind of laughed, but a few hours later she messaged me on Stickam with a song she wrote for the using her guitar. I listened to it and immediately began to laugh my ass off. This original song can be heard here.

Jenna Lynn did not stop there, a week later she messaged me a remix of the song that she made using some computer software, the remix can me accessed here. Let me know what you guys think of both, and which is better. Anyone else can also feel free to write a song, even if it’s just a funny rhyme, and contact me using the contact page, and if it’s good I’ll upload it to the site or Stickam!

On March 30, 2008 I went live yet again on Stickam.com. Fortunately Stickam finally decided to feature me on the Live Streams page. I used to be featured on the home page, but was removed and temporarily banned after a prank call I did, which I really regret doing. I, and several of my viewers both agreed that that nights show went pretty well, asides from the fact that the website was down yet again. I was messaged by bryant-designs on Stickam, where he sent me a screen shot of my Live user count, and as expected, I finally reached the 1000 user mark on Stickam.com.

The all time high of the night was around 1200, this was around 2 AM, which I think is pretty impressive. I guess my new goal is to finally make it back to the homepage, and hopefully regain Stickam’s trust.

As promised, my newly developed website has finally been designed and coded. Many, many thanks to the wonderful contributers to the page, daniMosh who coded the page, and BryantDesigns who designed the layout and logos. Given some time, I will hopefully get the needed content to put on each one of the pages, and the awaited OwnagePranks t-shirts will eventually be sold. Comment this blog post and let us know what you guys think of the site, and what changes/additions should be made. Also, if you know a lot about WordPress and its coding, send me an email at Ownage@OwnagePranks.com if you want to help me out.
