That's definitely my number one complaint. A close second would be missing out on human interaction. I love the boards & would've gone nuts by now without them, but I miss the watercooler chat & face to face contact with co-workers.

No wonder folks go so nuts at conventions!

I hate that I signed up with a sponsor who ripped me off by never sending my check out, and now I always hesitate a bit before trying out a new sponsor

plateman · 2004-07-22, 03:11 PM

adding links and looking through the gallery and writing a description and buying pictures and renaming them by hand and really dont like free sites the way I do them.. trying to make each site unique is a pain in the brain.. Pretty much all of the Bs work..

Useless · 2004-07-22, 05:18 PM

I hate all of you.

I kid! I kid!

I hate traffic. Analyzing it. Cursing it. Sewing thousands of little voodoo dolls, each representing a particular surfer, and sticking them with long rusty needles as they exit my sites.

Yeah, I hate traffic.

grzepa · 2004-07-23, 01:19 PM

I hate hand-changing thumb names + the submiting thing isnt very exciting ;-)
Also sometimes I feel burnt with building free sites, and feel the need of exploring diffrent areas of this biz...I think I'll pay someone to design me a CHAMP site and will start promoting it...hmm a bit offtopic but wtf ;-)

Oh and there is such thing which I call beeing addicted to checking stats...its so unproductive but sometimes I cant help it

nistka93 · 2004-07-23, 02:07 PM

i hate trying to come up with new templates for my freesites and also tring to get traffic to my LL

I couldn't have put it better, that sounds just like me!

djhits · 2004-07-22, 05:12 PM

the voices in my head....

nah what i hate.

- no face to face interaction for maybe a day or 5
- sitting on my ass all day
- strange sleep patterns
- most recently all the shit with visa, acacia the shitty dollar exchange rate.

thats about it

security_man · 2004-07-22, 02:48 PM

nothing! not a damned thing... even the cheats are fantastic because it just illustrates how much freedom this industry has

the only thing that even comes close to being a drag is building and submitting free sites, but that can be fun if you take an extra couple of minutes and come up with a funny title or theme

god bless internet porn!!!

shags · 2004-07-22, 01:21 PM

The reaction that I get from people when I tell them what I do for a living…

dirtyjumbo · 2004-07-25, 12:53 AM

I hate the fact that I have to look at naked chicks all day long LOL |rasta|

Mr.Pat · 2004-07-23, 01:17 PM

2 things i hate most:

1. people who say they want to get in the business but aren't serious about it, just in it for "sex" or whatever...

2. people who make judgement on what i do, when they are working for very dishonest/immoral people/organizations

Lyndress · 2004-07-22, 04:55 PM

Funny, this is my first post and I'm starting off with what I hate about this industry. Or is that really funny? I guess not.

Anyhow, I hate it when people in the industry blow hot air up your ass. They make big plans to start a project with you, and then they flake. Flaking really annoys me. You have to weed through who is serious and who's just talking out of their bum.

On the flip side, there are a ton of people in this industry who will tell you straight up if they want to do biz with you or not, and I appreciate that. I like candor.

28 days for a check to clear.
Google
checking links every day day

The list can go on and on

RRRED · 2004-08-09, 10:56 PM

I hate relentless content salespeople.... If and when I need content, I'll look for you. I can't stand trying to get stuff done and my icq bleeping endlessly with "Did you check the email I just sent you with our new such and such this and that models?"

The answer is "NO I didn't and I'm busy!!!"

anyway now that I got that off my chest...

pornrex · 2004-08-10, 07:16 AM

I dunno if anyone mentioned this but I hate having your business grow (relax, its always nice to have your business grow) at a nice and comfortable rate, asking your hosting company to upgrade your package, then the fuckers crash your site (with no explanation at all for it) and having to re-establish everything I have ever built and submitted all over again to such notables as Green Guy, Jays, Penisbot, Tommys etc. That, I hate.

- keeping up with rapid industry changes
- little in-person social interaction, ie. hermit syndrome
- carpal tunnel, blurred vision, hallucinations, etc.

That's a pretty good list.

Tommy · 2004-08-10, 09:16 PM

I hate trying out new sponsors only to find out that their sites dont convert

RRRED · 2004-08-11, 12:24 AM

I hate when Tommy doesn't say hi to me after 3 friggin years

SirMoby · 2004-08-11, 06:31 AM

I hate the fact that I miss the good old days when surfing for porn was fun. I remember I loved going to Tommy's Bookmarks quietly surfing in my office. It was kind of like sneaking dad's Playboys.
