Wow, Sarettah, I looked at your long preaching posts and I moved on. Now I know why people bitch at me when I run at the mouth. I want short posts at 2 a.m. :yowsa:

Squirt, give 'em hell! I don't agree with everything you are saying, but I understand your frustration. What you are doing to fight Acacia is appreciated. Please don't throw in the towel because a few old-time losers are doing nothing. There are far more new webmasters who are sitting on their asses ignoring the problems.

Take a break and play with your son and your dog, and return to fight the battle. :inlove:

When the Net came into being right after that, the writing was on the wall instantly that the porn industry was going to be turned upside down and inside out for good, since any geek would have the ability to become a pornographer with instant access, with minimal capital requirements, to peddle smut to the masses and bypass all the traditional wholesale porn distribution channels that had been previously so tightly controlled by organized crime families and just a handful of non LCN players.
Good point!

The next question will be... If future goverments, and banks makes it alot more risky and expensive - will that make things reverse?

(but a lot of followers) - there are some big companies but still no leaders

After reading the thread I was somewhat taken back by how proud some were that they've been in the industry for so many years. Seems they were almost gloating at the fact they've been in this business a long time.

I've been in adult since 2000 .. but in the end.. how long you stay in business is no reflection on how successful you are. Your ability to innovate and adapt is much more important then how long you've been in the biz.

Kind of like a kid saying "I'm older then you are so I know better." We all know that's most often not always the case.

Looking at the current state of our industry I'd almost be ashamed to say I was an old timer. Where are the leaders? A sense of proffesional community? Seems like a lot of the old timers are struggling, like most others. Worse yet.. the old timers crawl under a rock and leave everyone else scurrying for cover when things get tough.

I've seen more new people to the industry working their asses off to make a difference then I have the old timers. What old timer example did Hustler give to our industry? I wont name more names ... but I'm sure you can fill in the blanks.

Being an old timer today means you contributed to the way things currenlty are and lack the leadership to make possitive changes in our industry. If you didn't.... things would be different in our industry today. No offense but old timers.. and leaders in other industries ( mainstream entertainment for example ) have used their knowledge to better the industry. I could go on but I wont.

Some will say it's nobodies responsibility to do anything possitive in our industry..... it is what it is. Porn will always be around regardless of how fucked up and disjointed our industry is. They say elders are the glue that holds a community together.... well not in adult... every man for himself here thanks to our elders. So what makes old timers special in our industry? Why should you get a medal for sticking around so long and creating such a mess?

good post and you definatelly have a point

Rolo 11-16-2003 07:36 AM

In the few last years there has been lack of situations where the adult industry needed or created a leader. Most of the attacks on the adult industry has been target at individual companies for pushing the limits.

Iīm sure there are plenty of individuals today who could become great leaders for our industry, but until the situation arrives, where they are forced into a battle for the whole industry, then everyone will keep minding their own business.

One thing you'd be hard pressed to dispute is that a lot of the "old timers" put a LOT of money in other people's pockets. Granted, they were also putting a chunk of change in their own in the process :awinky: but I never heard affiliates in the 90's complain about programs that were pushing the envelope as long as the $$$ was being shared with them. :okthumb:

I would beg to differ. Compared to other online industries such as the gaming with practically no support from your peers, I think the porn industry has a very strong community (or communities would be a better word).

Hahaha, who wants to lead this motley crew out of the frying pan and into the fire?

The very reason this business makes money is the fact that there is no formalized structure and the participants, especially the successful ones, have gone and done things their own way.

To lead in this business is to set yourself up with a very big bullseye in a most uncomfortable place. Regardless of whether you've really done anything wrong or not. Case in point would be the FTC and Maxcash -- no wrongdoing at the end of it all but the damage to the business was done even though.

It's very important how long you've been in this business, if for no other reason than those with longevity have seen more of what works and what doesn't and can tailor their business accordingly.

Rolo 11-16-2003 04:09 PM

I just finished reading a book called "A Fugitive Crosses his Tracks" - it has something called the "The Law of Jante":

- Don't think that you are something special
- Don't think that you are of the same standing as us
- Don't think that you are smarter than us
- Don't think you are better than us
- Don't think you know more than us
- Don't think you are more important than us
- Don't think you you have skills for anything
- Don't laugh at us
- Don't think anyone likes you
- Don't think you can teach us anything

Is there any truth in this law - in the adult industry?

Mike AI 11-16-2003 04:19 PM

Squirt you make some good points, there are some new guys who are up and commers and are doing things well. There are also a bunch of old timers who have become nothing but scrubs. Infact, I am seeing more and more old schoolers acting more like cockholsters.

To me its not about being in the busniess for 8 years, but rather dealing with people who have been around for a LEAST a year. Once they make it past a year, working full time, people tend to understand the business.

I prefer to work with people I know, who have been around, or at least is known or dealt with someone else I respect.

It is like that in all of life.... not just this biz.

You talk about your son who is all grown up but still lives at home and pisses you off. You sit on that fat ass of yours and attack me when you could be on match.com looking for a lover girlfriend. Take your money and go to a diet clinic. Get some lipo. WORK OUT and get in shape. When you do all these things, then come back and give me advice. :nyanya:

She keeps thinking that if she goes from female to female and attacks them regarding things she's obviously clueless about, she'll eventually hit on one that gives a crap about what she thinks. :okthumb:

Darcy told her how to make her banner clickable and gave her the exact code. I wonder if Lew told her he didn't want his program associated with her. :unsure:

Remember the kid in school who was a real jerk but thought he was a player? Part of you would want to feel bad for him that he was such a total loser, but he was so arrogant, that you just sat back and watched him make a fool out himself. That's confucy. :P

Half the fun of C is to get her all riled up and watch her blow her top. :okthumb: She's merely here for our entertainment. She's never done business with anyone here and no one's ever met her, so it's obvious she has nothing to do with this industry. She has even admitted that she posts on porn boards because non-adult boards are less tolerant and won't let her "spread the word" about Kevin Mitnick. :unsure:

I live in the woods so we don't get many traveling comedians to do shows up here. Watching her make things up in an attempt to attack people is pure entertainment for me. :yowsa:

Honey, I not only don't know anything about you, I don't WANT to know anything about you. The degree to which you are annoying is only exceeded by the degree to which you are irrelevant.

You are the red-white-and-blue flags in front of a used car dealership - a cheap gimmick to generate some attention (page views).

Ordinarilly I let your rants slide by - I have a certain empathy for the emotionally disturbed, and try not to let them get under my skin. I guess I'm just having a very bad day - it happens at my age. I'm sure you remember that.
