Buckeye Mike,
Wrong! You need to re-read Georoc's post. He's not talking about $$$ or # of clients or # of parties from the Monger's--he's talking only about the Brothel Of the Year (BOY) votes, or lack thereof, due to "photogate" at the Moonlite, which affected votes for both the Moonlite & LRN.
Since only monger's can vote in the LPIN Gathering Awards, the LPIN Gathering Brothel Of the Year winner will be based on which brothel the monger's liked best and having pictures/videos of them hanging out at the Moonlite in 2011 and posted on the internet without their permission certainly afftected the voting outcome. I agree with you that the # of parties & the $$$ spent by the monger's is very small comparred to what gets booked overall from everyone throughout the year but not everyone can vote in the LPIN Gathering Awards, only registered members from this board (with at least 1 post) can vote in those awards. Georoc's post has nothing to do with claiming that the LPIN Gathering BOY status makes or breaks a house. After all, there's typically a little over 100 voters from this forum participating in the LPIN Gathering voting comparred to the thousands who visit the LRN or Moonlite each year.

All ranches ebb and flow in popularity on this board. Just look at the BOY winners that support that. LRN clearly got hurt on this board by posting pix of mongers.
Lets face it, its all about the ladies, and when there are popular ladies on this board, the house will follow suit.
WOW !! I find this of all the statements on this thread to be the most arrogant.
To think that the Mongers actually make or break the houses, to have it right here in black and white that you consider yourselves king makers.
You guys are a very very small percentage of the business to the houses both in numbers of visitors and even smaller in amount of money you actually spend.
I might be crazy but at least I'm not delusional. You boys don't make or break the houses one iota.
