Quite frankly there are 100 other boards for newbies to get advice on how to FTP their picpost galleries to their freehosts.

Oprano's edge is, or used to be, that a lot of old timers hang out here, and a lot of colorful characters who can make for some pretty interesting and funny reading, and if you have a legitimate business question (for example "please review my paysite and give me tips on how to close more sales" instead of "teach me how to start my own tgp gallery") you used to be able to get some pretty valuable advice here.

IMO this is Oprano's only edge, lose that and Oprano just becomes another one of the hundreds of generic webmaster boards for 'never_has_beens' and 'never_will_bees' to talk about TGP's. In other words a place with nothing interesting to read for people with real traffic, and nothing to offer to its sponsors but geocities peons with 10 clicks a day of garbage tgp traffic.
