Default Has beens, never was, and wannabes

spazlabz <--------never was
I never made $30k a week, i can claim no millions in net worth ever in my life. The nicest vehicle I have ever owned I own right now (its a ford explorer no big deal... nice family SUV). I have never come on this board to stir up shit, or call any one names or brag about what I have accomplished. I remember Labrat (intentional misspelling there) and having good times debating him for days. I rememver confucy and all the joy she brought into our lives. But when I first came here it was gonzo who invited me.

Funny thing about that, as Gonzo was telling me I should start to post I said 'No way, the board is the most unwelcoming board I have seen with one noteable exception' He assured me that it wouldnt be a problem, and it never was.

I never pissed with anyone really. I remember Trev welcoming on my first post quite well... his was the first reply, hows that for a good memory? I cant remember what I had for dinner last night though LOL

But I saw a flaw here that pretty much kept me much less involved then i would have liked, then what I owe to Gonzo for the different deals we have worked out, the flaw is that there is a lot of talk about business being done on this board, but no business being done on this board.

This should be a resource. Yeah, people with less exsperience come here to learn and network. But very few answers have been given in the past to questions asked. And when answers were forthcoming, they came from people who were/are relatively new to the board.

As someone said yesterday, the 'old timers' here don't actually give answers to questions, they 'point' people 'in the right direction'. Your an arrogant mother fucker to take that POV in my opinion, and useless to the rest of the industry.

Right now this board is populated with Has beens, never was and wannabes and for it to be a good resource board almost every ones attitude has to change.

Has beens - you ned to wake up and realize that your 'glory days' are behind you. Thats not to say that you dont have the resources to be powerhouse players once again, but for whatever reason you choose to be less active. You have a ton of valueable knowledge that does no good unless it is shared

never was - realize, like i did that the pond is huge and your no more then a guppy fart floating in a sea of floatsom. once you realize your shit does stink you can pull your head out of your asses and contribute a LOT to this board. Newbies need your help and the old timers can teach you. Combine it altogether and maybe you can be a guppy

wannabes (newbies) fuck what anyone else says, every single one of us were newbies. No one was born knowing how to turn pics into cash, or how to generate a huge volume of traffic nor were they born making $30 a week in this industry. Ask your questions, see who answers. Some people are descent and want to help while others are egomaniacal immature putred fuckers. Identify which is which and get the most value for your time here.

To those that are spending their time name calling, insulting others and general attempts at mayhem. It may not matter to you what other people think of you for various reasons. But if the only contribution you can make to a board of proffessionals is that quality of posts, then I would exspect you to not exist here much longer.

here is a suggestion. Oprano wants to be a true webmaster resouce board, let it. The old guard, regardless of how much time you have spent here, you do not own or control the board any longer. A company that is way bigger then you ever managed in your best days controls this board. Why not, and this is a friendly suggestion here, just get a script and open your own board where you can socialize together like the good ole days. Adapt or go, those are the only two choices i see for members of this board right now. Ask Nick or Ant.
