I got back read Oprano and barfed!

[Nickatilynx]

All lovey dovey and nice!!!!!!

No one got a broom shooved up there ass!!!!

Not one person has been ripped to shreds.

I mean ...WTF!!!!

I mean fuck even total fucking morons are being treated nicely.

But then I read the stats , saw how much ad revenue has been generated and frankly would like to say , for the record

" Nice ! "

:)











However as I have mentioned before...

I look at my part ownership of Oprano as similar to owning a bar.

Its a hobby.

I'd post her for free. Hell I did for years :)

I don't need iot to make my name. (I'm well known errrrrr to the people that matter)

I have no program to promote and frankly no intent of creating one.

Therefore it gives me the "I don't give a fuck" freedom.

I will post if i think someone is a total dickhead. If I think someone really hasn't a clue. I mean , someone has too. :)

But Maybe...just maybe...the old ways of piss and vinegar is being replaced with a more civilised...


Nawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

;-)))

As Gonzo would say..

[Almighty Colin]

Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.

Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they're turned around.

Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)

Yeah we tease him a lot cause we've hot him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

Well a FUCKING men!

Ive been busy partner. So Ive let Newton drive the train and ring the bell.
We have the pending new retooling coming up so Ive been trying to help out with that as well as some goodies for Florida. Thanks to all of you that have been busy.

I think its important that we stay focused on this being a business board. I appreciate people posting to keep things rolling but its my hope that the board does not turn into a ANS clone where they all talk about cookie recipes and kids birthdays.

Theres a lot of shit stirring in this business and Oprano is known for discussing it, picking it a part and resolving it.

Look around some of the most successful and innovative people in this biz hang out here.

Colin what do you think about the political posturing thats going on with this .XXX Top Level domains?

Vick whats your take on the new 2257 regs?

I know its summer and we all are retooling but if you guys got a minute chime in and lets get down with some of the issues?

Mike AI what do you think about Lightspeed not accepting anymore affiliates in their program?

Drav... I call bullshit on your "death of the resources boards" thread. I dont beleive you beleive that looking at all of the resource styled things you have and your expansion to the mainstream with it.

Lee why do all the gay program owners view hetrosexual webmasters as the enemy?

Dokk...do you honestly believe there is any revenue in the old webmaster radio model?

These are the type of things Id like to see more of again.
What Im saying is that socializing is great to keep the board active and hell we are all family but WHERE THE FUCK HAS BEEN THE BUSINESS??

We WONT EVER PAY TO POST. We WONT EVER RUN A POST WHORE CONTEST.

Oprano needs its business edge again and by God I'm back to raise soem fucking hell!

Probably because until recently, the gay market was looked down upon by many straight companies, think about for a second, pornkings, lightspeed, maxcash, silvercash, ars, siccash, non of them really cared about the gay side of the industry until all their shitty str8 sites started losing money, then, all of a sudden, they realized there was $$$$ to be made in gay ;)

Couple that in with the GFY redneck factor and you should be able to come up with an answer, once bitten, twice shy ;)

Although to be fair, there are a heap of str8 companies who did embrace the gay industry many years ago and thy are now firmly planted :)

This is what happens when socialist tree huggers gets too much room... Their chanting of socialist ideals scares business away. Atleast with Mike in control we would get public executions of the lost sheep!

The recent month(s) increase in "numb posts" on this board and elsewhere have convinced me that the affiliate model as we know it is going to hell... which might not be a bad thing ;-)))

BORING!!!!

LOL

Been there done that.

2257...don't give a fuck...who fucking cares?
Either comply , or don't.

:)

Gonzo , mate...

Let me throw this out...

The adult web is changing.

I'd say 80% of webmasters I know should really be thinking of some other form of employment , if they are able to get it.

This board should become a webmasters board...not an adult webmasters board.

Most mailers and SEOs don't give a minutes thought of marketing / promoting adult....ya know why .....no $$$$$

I say let the board decide its level , that said I intend to call people fucking cunts either way :)

[Nickatilynx]

This board is what the members make of it.

If they want it to be a receipe changing forum thats what it will be.

The posters will decide its path.

I would have to agree with this, things are indeed changing in adult and the way I see it is the web is too big of a pie to hang on to the decaying slice.

Thankfully, I made that move over a year ago...... and my income skyrocketed... Adult got boring, and now I dont have to work nearly as hard! ;-)

[Vick]

Hmmmm
2257 - comply or don't, most stuff has been compliant for years now.
Anyone who didn't get the needed id/releases got fucked and didn't exercise good business acumen
I did post some concern over the safety factor for models

As for the porn business, we all know for the most part it's a fraction of what it was. That being said it's still hard to walk away from the income. Easy money for a few hours work a day and a base of income to start/support other projects
At one time I'd thought I'd be out by now at another I'd thought I'd stay to the bitter end

Oprano has new blood and will take the direction most profitable and beneficial. Sad but I only get to read a fraction of the time I used to due to real world projects

Very much looking forward to morphing into Willie Wonka in 6 hours.
Complete with new magic candy creations. Linkmints, astonishments, invisible chocolates, multiplying chocolates and 8 foot appearing candy stick (good for keeping in your pocket). Of course my walking stick appears out of nowhere

For the latest Vick update see

Is it October yet? Am ready for Disney World
Have a 4th Birthday Monday to keep me smiling. It almost looks like Christmas here

A massive dose of Vicodin or a club to the head just prior is about the only thing that can possibly make waxing less painful.

Just be glad its not your crotch.

I was talking about the adult industry and adult resources, Gonz.

Hell ya, there's plenty of room in mainstream.

But as Nick said, adult has gotten boring. There's little if any territory that hasn't been explored and exploited to the max.

Ill agree that the current business model has been exploited to the max. Been no major changes in traffic and billing to exploit.

Ill aslo agree that the exclusive term of adult webmaster will be deluted as well. Hell I have a few mainstream projects.

12 billion dollar a year industry and yall think its boring.
I think Ill carve me off a slice and be happy.

I'm a man of wealth and taste

Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fatePleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my gameStuck around St. Petersberg

In a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stankPleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeahI watched the gleam [Who, Who]
While you kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the Goth they madeI shouted out
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and meLet me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid tracks for troubadors
Who get killed before they reached BombayPleased to meet you

OooaPleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my gameJust as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners Saints
As I end this tale
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraintSo if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well learned qualities
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeahPleased to meet you

You'll carve yourself a slice of it ?

Dude , you are a mate an all but come on....

You were online since the days of BBS...

In 97 the odds of becoming a player in this business I reckoned was 1 in 100.

The chance of making decent money I would have said was 1 in 20

The chance of making a better living than you could offline was 50/50.

Now I'd estimate the chances are 1 in 5000 will become a player.

1 in 100 will make a decent living (250k pa)

10% will make a better living than they could offline

[gonzo]

Ive never claimed to be nor aspired to be a player.
I reckon I can still carve out a comfortable living with those odds.
And thats good enough for me.

[MorganGrayson]

I think the days of pissing are so over. It was interesting when the whole thing was new, but now...either you have business or important issues to discuss...or you just want and need a bit of human contact.

Back in the day, a good snipe-fest could go on for hours, if not days. What did it all accomplish? Tired fingers and bleary eyes. I doubt seriously anyone on the adult 'net said "I want to do business with this person, he/she has such a large vocuabulary of obscene adjectives to hurl at other webmasters."

On a personal note, my own tiny business might be helped a bit by my posting, as webmasters can read and say "well, she types in complete sentences and can spell most of the words." That sort of thing can be accomplished whether I'm saying good morning or tossing in an opinion on some "business issue."

My prediction and opinion is that adult is going to roll up into some very large corporate entities. Many industries have a birth, growth, puberty and maturation period. We're in our pubescent stage right now. We're not a boy, not quite yet a man.

It will become larger and stronger on a much smaller scale. Leaders will emerge who will push the industry on. Opportunities for mom and pop shots will become much different. Many small budget startups will not be able to grip the constant changes that the government will require.

The industry will only get larger, but it will evolve much as most industries do. Sex is a part of life that's not going away. Curiosity isn't going anywhere either.

The stigma of being “net porn” taints us even before most surfers logon for the first time – too many scams have been publicized and surfers are smarter than they used to be…. I’ll take my chances at making money from dabbling in porn but my priority is mainstream adult!
