Group Action Is Best

Riki: hey dude, my b/f just got home. he's here now. his name is Tony.
Sam: hey Tony. nice to meet ya
Riki: he says same
Sam: sorry to hear u lost yr group tony. that's some tough stuff. had it happen to me 
way too often.
Riki: he says how many groups u got?
Sam: about 15 of em when they're all online. how bout u guys?
Riki: between us we got little over a dozen
Sam: i think i'm a member of most of yours! LOL
Riki: well we joined all of yours too. nice ones dude!
Sam: thanks - yours' are all great
Riki: thanks too! so dude - you say you know a way to beat this deleting shit?
Sam: i think so. concept is simple. application will take some time - AND some effort 
AND a LOT of patience. Once you commit - you gotta see it thru or we could 
wind up pissing a lot of people off.
Riki: understand that. so how does it work?
Sam: well, netgroups doesn't really care about us - cause we "only" got porn
groups, right?
Riki: yeah
Sam: and net groups always looks for an excuse to delete our groups to appease the
church people and the other folks--
Riki: yeah, and if they can't find an excuse - they make one up.
Sam: right, but net groups listens especially to those particular people. those are the
"decent" people as far as they are concerned, and they'll do anything those
people tell net groups to do, right?
Riki: yeah. so?
Sam: so those are the people who have to tell net groups to leave us alone. see?
Riki: but they'll never do that!!
Sam: (Grins Wickedly) they will if they're "motivated"........................................

Chapter Two

Rick and Tony figured they'd made some kind of chat room record. It was just after three in the afternoon when Tony came home from school and started talking to Sam. They finally logged off sometime around 8 pm after talking for more than five hours.

Sam, it turned out, was a man in his early 60's. He was about to retire from his job and said he had lots of time to dedicate to what he called their "project." He was somewhat elusive about some things about himself, though. He wouldn't say exactly what he did for a living or where he lived. The guys simply thought it was a trait of older guys to be secretive like that. After all, most of them grew up having no choice at all but to hide the fact that they were gay in the first place, much less what they did about it. For them, keeping secrets was just a way of life. 

They talked about the ideas Sam had for the problem of deleting their groups. It turned out that Sam had more than just the germ of an idea. He actually had an extremely detailed plan of action. It would take about four to six months to put it into effect after they had the commitments they needed. The guys were impressed! It wasn't long before Tony moved from beside Rick and logged onto his own computer in the bedroom, and the three of them signed into an empty chat room so they could talk without one of the guys having to tell the other what to ask Sam.

Rick: dude, how come u haven't done all this stuff b4?
Sam: can't do it alone buddy. need help. as you can see, i need a lot of guys to get in
on this to do it right. if i can't do it right - might as well not do it at all.
Tony: we'd love to help! but we're just a couple of college kids when you get right
down to it. why trust us?
Sam: cause you're young - young guys are gutsy. it will take a lot of gutsy guys to
do this. and cause i didn't really have to ask you - remember - you're the ones
came looking for me. that's the kind of guys i'm looking for.
Rick: ur gutsy dude! it isn't just young guys. there must be other guys of all ages
got the guts like u say.
Sam: there are, sure. i got several guys ready to get started. i just needed a few
more. there's one guy even older than i am!! but most of the guys are under
30. besides, most guys old as me, hell, we come home from work and we're
tired. all we want to do is sit down and relax. but young guys like you - 
sheeeeit! when you guys get home from school and work, you’re just gettin’ 
warmed up!
Rick: well, yeah, i guess you could say that. ha ha!
Sam: tell me the truth guys - i bet ya anything that between the time you two get
home and the time you sit down at your computer, that bed of yours gets a
real trashin' now don't it????
Tony: Ha ha!! it sure does, dude!! it sure does.
Rick: and sometimes the sofa gets it too!
Tony: and a couple times, the kitchen table--:))
Rick: and once almost in the hallway outside our door!
Sam: all right!! all right now!! LOL sheesh! cut it out - unless you guys got a web
cam!
Rick: oops! no cam dude, but you're right - we got the energy you're looking for -
and the motivation
Sam: that's what i like to hear!
Tony: well ok dude! i say let's go for it. what should we do now?
Sam: u guys got other buds who have other groups, right?
Tony: sure. we got lots of buds with groups of their own.
Sam: ok. get in touch with them. tell them just what i told you, but no more. if they
aren't ready to go for it, then what they don't know won't hurt us. but ask
them to get in touch with any other group owners that they may know and
pass the info along.
Rick: wow! this sounds great!
Sam: give it some time tho - no hurry. i like gutsy guys but we all got to practice
patience. keep track of who you talk to and wait until they all get back to you.
it could take a month or so - but it's easy to do this part up right. be ready for
it.

So that's what Rick and Tony did. They sent emails to all the other group owners they knew. Those guys in turn forwarded the mail to all the guys they knew; who forwarded the mail to their own buddies, and so on. As Sam requested, all the emails continued to flow through the guys who originally got in touch with each other. Sam didn't want to hear from all the guys separately. He didn't even want to know who they really were. For the sake of safety and secrecy, he wanted each of the participating guys to personally know as few of the other guys as possible. He personally talked to Rick and Tony, and only five other guys, and so he continued to send email only to those seven guys. Those guys would then forward the email only to the other few guys they had personally gotten in touch with, and replies filtered their way back to Sam in the same manner, creating the same levels of separation that politicians work so hard at.

Sam was right about the timing. In a little over a month, he reported that he had heard about a little over 200 group owners representing over a thousand groups that they were ready to come on board and see the whole thing through to the end. He figured that was enough. There could have been more of course, but Sam said it would be easier if they worked with the minimum number of guys than any maximum. So at 200 guys they were ready. Sam then sent a very detailed email that filtered through the layers of guys and told them what they should spend the next couple of months doing, and they all went to it.

Chapter Three

When Rick and Tony and all the other guys got home from work and school, they spent some time at their computers and each one of them built up for themselves 20 separate email addresses from free sources other than Net Groups. Then they used those addresses to create 20 separate profiles for themselves with Net Groups. Soon there was an army of no less than 4000 new profiles with Net Groups. They all became a very diverse group of people. They made themselves younger, older, men, women, professional people, laborers, ministers, southerners, northerners, asians, europeans, and aussies. They became married, single, divorced and widowed. 

But no one was gay. Sam said that when this broke, people would immediately start looking for someone to blame, and the gay community as well as other minority groups were always easy scapegoats. Sam wanted to make sure that the "people" involved were otherwise as diverse as possible so no one single group of people could be fingered. 

After each individual had their 20 profiles ready to go, they started joining the non adult groups. They chose groups that already had large memberships; the better to remain anonymous. Some group managers chose to check each message and picture before it was posted for the membership to see, and those groups were avoided. The guys chose groups that allowed any member to post any message and picture at any time. They didn't each join a group with all 20 of their profiles all at once. Sam cautioned against that very strongly. Instead, they all would join a group with one profile every couple of days. Other, real people would join the same groups in the intervening days so no one could trace back to any single day when suddenly there were 20 new members. It took about two months total for every one to situate themselves into the regular groups. 

At the same time everyone was working on their profiles and joining groups, they also started finding and downloading porn. But they all only downloaded straight porn. Again, Sam said, he didn't want any one fingering the gay community, so no gay porn would be used. If this worked, Sam said, the heterosexual community would have the gay community to thank (even though no one would know that), and if it didn't work, the heterosexual community would be way too large to single out any one to take any heat anyway. Using the same logic, they didn't download any porn from the fetish world. No watersports pictures, no bondage or S&M, no incest, no intergenerational at all, and no pictures of any one who could possibly look underage. The people who are the loudest at complaining about porn also have a nasty habit of making extreme claims without facts to back them up, and Sam said there was no reason to give them any ammunition. So it was all heterosexual, ordinary, every day, run of the mill porn.

Rick and Tony had a great time while they were "working" on the project. They had a lot of laughs at least. They also took a lot of breaks and wound up pulling each other into the bedroom, or just went at it on the desk. They kept right on screwing and downloading porn. Sometimes they would post a message or two in the groups they'd joined so they would look like legitimate members. After a couple of months, many other real people joined the same groups, so the guys' fake memberships weren't new any more. As they heard from the guys they'd originally contacted saying they were finished with this or that, they forwarded the information to Sam, along with a quick note jokingly telling Sam what they would do when they took a break from working. Sam was glad to hear it all, and sent email back to them encouraging them to keep on talking, and asking them if they'd acquired a web cam yet.

For his part, Sam sent everyone an email, forwarded through the ranks, keeping everyone abreast of how things were going. Finally he decided they were ready, and sent another detailed email telling the guys what to do next. Tony and Rick read the note, looked at each other and said, "WOW!" Then they went to work.
