I think it's both. Posting *can be* profitable to your business (meeting people, getting new ideas or solutions to problems), but it can also hamper the profit to your business, as the time you spend on boards you could spend building and growing your porn empire.

Carrie - I find myself agreeing with you a LOT today. It's a pleasure "meeting" you on this board even though I've been reading you for quite awhile. You've brought up a lot of excellent points to these discussions.
I agree that it's both.
I set myself a board limit for the day - one hour a day M-F and 2 hours a day on the weekends if the kids are off doing something else, otherwise the weekends are for family. This discipline really helps me save myself from over-doing it on the boards, which is easy to do.
However - from someone who spent the last 4 years staying "loyal" to a single board - you've got to get out EVERYWHERE to meet the largest amount of folks. You really do. And what you learn/pick up on other boards can be brought back to be discussed at your "home board" - the place that you feel the most comfortable. But - limiting yourself to one board would be like only shopping at Wal-Mart for the rest of your life. Sure you feel comfortable and they've got a lot of great deals - but just think about all the other opportunities you miss by sheltering yourself at one location.
Boards CAN be profitable in many ways - you just need to make sure they don't consume you.
