You want people gone, tell them to leave, they will. I guarantee it. It has happened here before.
And the way you are stating your opinion, if you read it in context, is asking folks to leave.
I have no illusions that Oprano needs me to survive or thrive. It will eventually do that on it's own to a certain extent.
I like Oprano, I enjoy many of the people who post here. I do some business here.
But believe me, I do not NEED Oprano.
So, you want us gone, keep asking us to leave.

Well this is not a personal dig toward you at all Sarretah.....
However I must say this ..
in the past people like
SweetT
PlatinumDave
Stevelightspeed
Rick from ConsumptionJunction
Shemp...
Just to name a few off of the top of my head . All came here and for one reason or another are not . some were ran off and some just left cause they did not like what was happening here at the time I suppose .( this was way before my tenure here )
all of these people are ACTIVE posters on a various amount of OTHER boards ...
They for different reasons of their own do not come here .
I would LOVE to see them back here, and imagine if you had just those four, and a crop of say 10 newbies that wanted to learn the business and had a good positive attitude, no matter what they did or did not know about the ways of old in the business.
I would trade everyone on this board for that line up ( think of it as a sports team, I would make that trade all day long , everyday)
If a person is not business saavy enough to see the value in that statment, then they are in the wrong spot now .
even with people like these mentioned that are no longer here prano still survived, so I am not at all worried about anyone that may leave cause they do not like the direction we intend to take Oprano. IT WILL SURVIVE and always has to this point .
the last crew had paid posters ( remember you were one of those before nick turned on you for your morals and needed a whipping boy for page views)
the only peole that have left from that crew that were not already gone was the paid posters . and the chinese fake alexa hits.
If you think I am wrong to go after good business men and potential new blood, I am sorry you feel that way. But I wish you well in all your endeavors and enjoyed the time you spent here while I was around.
I will bring back
Hustler
Platinumbucks
Lightspeed ( I hope with all hope)
SweetT
Consumptionjunction
The Hun
Bike ( a guy you probably do not know but he has more traffic than all of Alabama LOL)
Freeones
Shemp ( if he will accept our most humble of apologys for the way he was treated by a bunch of assholes here before )
Lensman ( who advertises on many many other boards BTW)
AVN
Mallcom
Topbucks
Comusthumbs
Guerillatraffic
digitalplayground
wicked
vivid
Metro
ClubJenna
and many many solo models that need help and true advice, not bullshit and misinformation
and all the big boys I can find... to mix with all the best newbies I can find.
will this happen overnight? NO
Next week? NO
in a tear or two? YES!
I did not put Oprano in the shape it became, butI am one of the people that bought it to bring it back to a condition it should and could be in. Will this require change? YES Will this require some people leaving ? YES
Do I think it is going to be easy or cheap for me to do ? NO
But in case you have forgotten i dont listen to the nay sayers very much, I just do my thing, and it has worked so far . beyond what you can even imagine . I will announce things this year that will amaze you.
Stick around it might get fun again for you .
