you completely don't understand why this place was popular. mike and serge and those who posted here made this place big because of a formula that worked. once it was fucked with, it all fell apart. it was not about helping newbs who will drop out in two months and taking the time to answer their mind numbingly stupid questions because they were too lazy to look them up... and answering the same stupid questions again and again and again from ignorant people who can barely dress themselves in the morning and will never make it anyway. it's attraction was very intelligent conversation on a wide variety of topics between many of the bigger and more successful people in the industry.
newbies were worth something in 97. they are worth zero today. this biz has a pretty high learning curve today. the overwhelming majority will never make the cut. they will never make a single dime. those that do make money, learn very fast that loyalty is only as strong as that days stats or that days check. they learn that the only person you trust ... is yourself. thats why advertisers dont want to advertise to newbs. they don't generate sales and they will not be loyal webmasters. that's why netpond with its huge, glorious and actually very informative site is completely broke.
some of you guys are soooo focused on how you think things should be... that you can't see how things are. but thats just a part of being naive and a dreamer.
so.... here you are. you have the place ALLLLL to yourself. and what? its dead. congrats genius. you are the top dog because you have been abondoned. for your information, it was many times more active before ignorant and naive people like Joeshoe decided to start running people with experience off and started embracing drive by spammers... and it was more active before bishop decided to carry things further... and the surfmasters took over.
there is nothing for me here. only gonzo and an occasional someone who wanders in wondering why its dead so i won't be posting here much. that will make you happy, i am sure. it will jsut be you and idiots like Rcourt64 and Rhetorical telling yourselves you matter while you represent 90% of board traffic and posts. you will be telling yourselves you are important, you are the new generation and blah blah blah... while you spin your wheels and work a second job.
anyway.... i wish gonzo all the best and he knows this. but the simple truth is that this is no longer a place for those who built it... what it was was destroyed looong ago.
