I fucking hate this board & I hate this business - friends? HA!

I'd like to take a minute to speak as a newcomer to both the industry and this board. In the 5 months or so that I've been in the adult biz (been a webmaster for years), I've spent some time on a few dozen boards...mostly lurking and checking out the lay of the land.

I can honestly say that there are only a handful of boards that I find to be worth a fuck, and this is one of the best. Every board has it's own strength and focus, and I find this to be the single best place online that any link list owner or freesite builder could ever find to network and learn. My submit page even reflects this.

I should say that I haven't been in the adult biz long enough to have been really screwed by anyone, but I know my day is coming eventually just as sure as I know the sun will rise tomorrow.

This board is a great community, with a lot of great people sharing their knowledge and experience for the benefit of all who are willing to take the time to listen. Sure there will be problems, and unfortunately sometimes those problems will make the people who have to clean them up want to detonate a tac-nuke and chuck it all. This is probably the shittiest aspect of any business venture.

To Green Guy & Jim:

Since it doesn't get done often enough (if at all), I'd like to thank you for all the work you've done to create one of the best places for adult webmasters to come together and benefit from each others' experience. Of course you need to get paid for all the work you do (not to mention find a way to pay for what must be an ungodly amount of bandwidth), and of course you need to draw a line in the sand so that your advertisters are genuinely getting ROI that they can see. There isn't a single rule in place on this board that is unreasonable in the least.

Fetish Philes is growing 3 or 4 times faster than it would be without this board, and my freesites are doing better than ever because I found a place to network with other LL owners and develop relationships that have made both my submissions and submissions to Fetish Philes work better and return more for everyone.

I sincerely hope you're feeling better sometime very soon, and hopefully the support shown in this thread gives you an indication of how valuable this place is to those who post here. Take a break. Let the mods clean up the messes for a few. We'll be here when you get back.

Peace until then.
