There are still a few which remain whom I value their opinion.
Question…
Assuming the merger is on the up and up and actually happens, and since urrently none of us can sell QBID for more than .00001, wouldn’t there be a mass exodus of people selling their shares? Wouldn’t that result in Cinemax new stock to tank? Wouldn’t that be bad business for Cinemax? Are they expecting QBID investors to continue to hang on to their “investment” in Cinemax? Does Cinemax have any big news coming down the pike to instill confidence and create interest in their stock? Right now .0001 is looking pretty good.
People are cranky and they are taking out on whoever happens to be the target at the time. Guess what, you're it. Of late, this board has been less than friendly to anyone who doesn’t start off their sentence “D**th to the fat f*ck Frank…” Hardly the environment for an intelligent conversation.
I don't despise you...
As always, your posts are enjoyable to read. Keep stirring the pot.
A theory…
If the market makers have to account for the billions of shares of stock they really don’t have, the stock price will rise regardless whether QBID has a product or not. And the MM’s will have to account for their shares, since QBID never went bankrupt.
More regulations will make it harder to counterfeit shares…
“The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) has announced the industry-wide adoption of the Automated Recall Messaging System (ARMS), effective in February 2007 (see attached SIFMA Important Information). DTC supports the goal of automating the stock loan recall process either through a vendor-developed ARMS platform or through a direct connection to DTC’S SMART/Track for Stock Loan Recalls.”
“In recent years, increased scrutiny of the securities lending business by regulators has focused on accurate record keeping (Agent Lending Disclosure) and timely buy-ins of fails (Regulation SHO). With this in mind, industry-wide implementation of ARMS to stay ahead of the regulatory review process is logical, timely, and achievable. Transmitting recalls via ARMS creates and electronic audit trail for agent banks and broker-dealers either at the user’s vendor or DTCC, which houses the message hub for all non-intra-vendor recall messages.”
February 5th, 2007 could offer some of us hope...

Looks like FMII is still trolling for investors...
PQLRESEARCH.COM, Dec 14, 2006 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Apparently a million dollars doesn't go as far as it used to. While it would still buy a lifetime supply of Diet Pepsi and dozens of Honda Civics, a cool million is now only good enough for a pair of top-level gay-oriented websites. In early November, the www.Gays.Com domain sold through Sedo's online marketplace for $500,000, making an interesting story about what the future holds for a company like Franchise Management International (FMII) . Franchise is pending closure of a binding letter of intent with Netadventures, Inc to acquire the www.GayTravel.Com website in addition to a dozen other similar domain names. Upon closing the deal, Franchise would apparently join a short list of gay-friendly companies like PlanetOut (LGBT), which currently trades on the Nasdaq, and Triangle Multimedia (QBID), a pinksheet startup which saw its gay and lesbian television network terminate its signal in May of 2006 due to financial problems.
Interestingly, despite the large gay market and relative scarcity of gay and lesbian public companies, Franchise's stock has remained quiet over the past few weeks. After an initial surge to over $.015 on the announcement of the binding letter of intent, the stock was bidding at $.0028 (less than 1/3 of a penny) on Wednesday afternoon with virtually no public interest. With a believed public market of less than 150M outstanding shares, Franchise is ironically valued about $80,000 less than the single www.Gays.Com website was sold for.
According to data on its website, www.GayTravel.Com had booked over 2.5M visits and over 26M hits from a period of 2003-2004. As claimed, they do appear to have the top organic' search ranking through informal testing done on Google and Yahoo!.
Franchise trades on the loosely-regulated PinkSheets Quotation Service, and does not file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While this is fairly typical of small companies with a limited operating history, it certainly requires a larger burden on the individual investor. According to language in the Franchise press release announcing the binding letter of intent, the acquisition should close by early February.

It is very possible that we get closure by November 2nd, worst case scenario by the 6th.

I'm sensing anger. Where's the love?
Okay, now tell me how you really feel.
We can't get much more hurt than .0001! How about Fan being proactive and tell us what is going on rather than what's not going on (discounting rumors)? As someone so eloquently put it "Kill this pig already"
Fan owes us a detailed exlpanation of what and why things happened and what can and has been done for the investors (besides discounting rumors).
Being a devil’s advocate and since happy hour is coming up…
Why would Fan care one way or another what rumors are out there about TMM/QBID/QTN? How would these rumors affect the current status of the stock/company in a negative way?.
Discuss
That is hilarious! He forgot he wasn’t hiding behind a computer and a screen name. I bet most of the bullying punks on this and the other message boards would crap themselves if they had to say their insulting remarks in person.
Glad to see you’re still around. I’m waiting for somebody to drive a stake in my heart and get this damn thing over with. Otherwise I’m afraid this will continue to be my dirty little secret, as I roam pointless message boards filled with animosity and rumor searching for my missing $20K.
Take care!
Yet we still lurk...
I feel so ashamed
Well, I guess I can respect that… but I had to try. Especially considering that you are the only connection to Fan this board has other than my receiving a canned e-mail response.
As you know, there are a lot of people waiting for a detailed follow up to his “Oh Well, I Tried” PR. The Natives are restless. Actually, they are pissed and restless. Time for someone to actually follow up on what they say they would do.
Would you mind posting his e-mail?
Now the million dollar question…
When can Investors look forward to an update?
A candid and informative update would be appreciated by the thousands of Investors who lost millions of dollars with the stock QBID. An update has been alluded to back in May but has yet to be provided. Personally, I would like specific information regarding what allegedly happened and why, and what course of action is being taken against previous management and what is being done to recover losses, if any. Would you pass that on?
You must be a part of the elite 1%, like myself, that have received a communication directly from Fan. However, all I got was a stock e-mail stating he finds it unfortunate that I’ve believed Frank’s PR’s. He also stated the future didn’t look too bright for TMM (thanks Fanny Boy, tell me something I don’t know), but again, that was 2 months ago. Would you comment whether you spoke to Fan directly or exchanged e-mails?
That's "qtelevisionnetwork.com" not "qtelevision.com" as we're all familiar with. If it's new and legit I wonder what it means, but there is the possibility it's been around forever or just a hoax.
Yeah, I thought so too. Forensic accounting? The inquiry took place in February.
Hello Gang,
I recently received a letter from Fidelity, of which I do my trading. The letter was regarding a third party improperly inquiring to how many shares I own of QBID. I was informed that this party did not have the proper credentials but still may have been able to obtain the sought after information through ADP which handles correspondence for Fidelity. A warning was given to pay attention to my credit score, yada yada…
The point is… somebody is trying to do a head count on QBID shares. It seems like quite an undertaking. Any thoughts?
Sounds like he's putting his marbles in Alvin's mouth.
Yeah, I’d be skeptical, too. Please go ahead and send him an e-mail at Lloyd Fan [fan@qtnasia.com]. I’ve no idea why he responded to me other than my making an effort to be respectful and get to the point in my e-mail.
You can choose to believe it or not, but I’ve got what I needed.
No, Fan did not disclose any other information about TMM or it’s assets. I know as much, or little, as any of you.
I’m accepting my loss, however since it doesn’t make any difference if I sell at .00000001 or if I go down with the ship (BK), I choose to go down with the ship with 26 million shares. Otherwise it’d be too much like changing religions while on my death bed. I told myself I’d wait until the GG’s, and it looks like we’ll ALL know exactly what is going on by then.
Regards.
This morning, after I checked my e-mail and posted it here. I'm also 6295.
I’d like to offer an apology to all those I’ve referred to as “Bashers” (you still annoyed me, though). Although I’ve held this stock for almost 2 ½ years, I still pretty wet behind the ears. Looks like I still got some learning to do.
This is what I wrote to Lloyd Fan…

This was Mr. Fan’s response”
’Dear Shareholder,
It's very unfortunate you've bought into the PR's like some many others. Frank
will pay for his misdeed but it will take some effort and money to do so. As
for QTN, it's really over. TMM is just a shell now with no valuable assets.
I will be working on the future of TMM but it does not look bright at this
moment. Give me a few more weeks to decide if we can get anything out of TMM or
will BK be it's fate.
Lloyd Fan “
6 months ago I would have tried to “read between the lines” but it’s time to face reality.
I do have a question for this board, is there any financial advantage (tax wise) to hang on to my shares while TMM goes bankrupt, or would it be more prudent just to sell at a loss?
Thanks in advance.
Dude, get over it… you lost money. Sticking around a message board so you can spit venom anyone who posts dd is a waste of your and my time…
If your working on material for your stand up career, you may consider a trying a new subject.
Short Bus by John Cameron will premiere at Cannes over the next week. Hope we still have the rights to the movie distribution.
Interesting… I do not intend any disrespect, but how did you come by this list?
Was that Olson or Olsen?
Anyone find it odd that Frank's last name is mis-spelled? I suppose I wouldn't put it past a company that could place a half page add in USA Today and then put the wrong web address.Also, what's up with the incorporation date? Is that Frank's birthday?
MTV Logo Network To Sponsor Gay Games
(CBS) CHICAGO The MTV Logo Network, a one-year-old cable channel targeted to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender viewers, will be a sponsor of the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago.
The network will provide advertising, production, and special event and Web promotions, as well as support of the games by on-air staff, Gay Games officials announced Tuesday.
"In just one short year, Logo has become one of the most recognizable brands within the gay and lesbian community," Gay Games Director of Broadcast Brenda Schumacher said in a news release. "We are thrilled to partner with Logo to tell the powerful stories of our community through the lens of sports, culture, celebration and the legacy of the Gay Games conveying our message of 'Inclusion, Participation and Personal Best.'"
Logo Senior Vice President and General Manager Lisa Sherman added: "Logo works to connect with our audience in an authentic way and the real stories of athletic achievement are among the most powerful of all.

Membermark for you!
As always, I enjoy the content and delivery of your posts!
You created an new alias just to post that?
I didn't say it's the gospel, just something that is out there. There once was a time when this board looked at all the rumblings going on and averaged them out as more or less the gist what's going on.
That is a good question about Jack E. Jett, and of course the message should be taken with a grain of salt until it is officially PR'd that all debts have been paid. If Katrina's post is true we maybe could look forward to some official news regarding the debt payment, and possibly financing. I would also like to point out that it has been 30 days since the last PR from Fan. Wishful thinking perhaps, but I hope it's due to a required quiet period.
Regarding theotherfrank actually being Frank Hagen, you're kidding, right?
By KatrinaKiller on RB:
Just got off the phone with Mr.Fan and he said that he will most likely out source the Gay Games through ESPN or another network who does sports shows. Q still retains all rights to the Broadcast rights. I asked Mr. Fan about the Planet out story and he said it was false and no one had talked with him about it. Q will make money from out sourcing the games to the larger Network and in rreturn get to show the gay games on Q and the other network (ESPN ECT...) along with commercial premiums = $$$$$ he said without Q having to pay one cent.
Fan said all of Q's bills have been paid and Q has plenty of inventory to play on the network until Fan can get the money nessary to place employees back on payroll. Many of the Q staff still show up to work everyday to run the network. Fan said it has just taken longer to get through Frank olsen's mess than he thought it would. Everyone Frank Olsen had deals with was not paid and were sueing Q for franks lies. The lawsuits have all been taken care of and now we are trying to turn things around. The Gay Games will make Q alot of operation revenue and if it means Q sits Quite until the Gays Games then that is what it will take.
Fan said he has no intentions of bankruptcy the company. Many think I bought Q from Frank Olsen which is not the case Frank Olsen took Fan and his group of investors for more that 13 million dollars in a stock purchase deal at about .0050 - .0080. Frank Olsen lied to Mr. Fan and Fan hired several investigators who dug up so much DIRT on Olsen, Goldman that Frank Olsen had to turn over his 53% of his shares to Fan. I f frank were to have not given Fan controlling interest in Q Fan would have had enough Dirt on Olsen and Goldman to put them away for a a long time.
Now that Fan has the company he will promote his product line using Q's New Web page and network to make back his 13+ million dollars. Fan said that if he bankruptcy the company he and all his investors who have backed him will lose all they invested. Better to wait it out than lose everything.
Fan was very upset I could tell by the tone in his voice but, very professional at all times on the phone.
Fan ended the conversation by saying it will just take longer than we thought to get Q up and running than we thought it would with the mess olsen had it in. Olsen's plan was to sell as many shares as he could before he bankruptcy the company and turned the shell into and new network The American Indian Channel. Olsen would do the whole scam over and hurt more investors with the new game plan. I will not turn Q back over to Frank Olsen no matter what happens. I will not let other investors as my self and other get hurt again by frank olsen.

You rule, keep up the great posts.
Well, he's paid more than the boiler room many people here work for.
Frank- I'm impressed someone of your caliber is aware of, let alone has the time to post a long winded message on some obscure message board on the internet. I'm also surprised you know the lingo such as "basher" or familiar enough with ihub to request no private e-mails. Despite your many mis-spellings of the people you worked with, thanks for stating the obvious.
I'm now going to check out ihub"s political board and read postings by George Bush and Condi Rice. After that, I'm going to a religious board to read postings by the Pope, J.C. and Buddha.
Have a nice day.
Yes, it's not about the DVD. It's about Richard showing common courtesy and professionalism.
The old management had trouble with being up front and honest. Fan is airing dirty laundry in the hopes of building trust. I thought Richard might want the opportunity to explain. It would be good for him to get it off his chest.
