From the perspective of now being one of the mentors - which on the one hand is most excellent as I had a lot of fantastic mentors the first time around (Yes, Nick.
) and I feel as if I get to repay a debt; from the other perspective, the game has changed so much that it's a much weightier respnsibility.
It's difficult enough to draw novice webmasters out and get them to participate in "public." Instead of posting "come here and we'll have wonderful discussions on making a *good* freesite that will do the best marketing for your sponsors" and letting that lay there like a fruit basket of welcome...I feel as if I have to add "but first...I'm going to scare the shit out of you and make you think twice about being involved with this entire thing."
Again, many thanks to everyone who participated in this thread. It's "old news" to most of you, but it's "oh, shit, you're kidding!" to anyone new to the business. (I re-entered the business at the exact moment when many webmasters were hitting the panic button and stripping there sites due to something of which I'd never heard. My first site of this incarnation went up on July 1st, 2005. I got a crash course.)
I feel much more armed to assist the new kids.
