Competition is what makes businesses thrive and grow, it also takes some out, that is how evolution works. If the business does not evolve then it stagnates.
I am not in favor of trying to convert every surfer into a webmaster anymore than I am in favor of turning every webmaster into a programmer (my bailiwick) however, as you know, if asked the question I will try to give an honest answer and help a person along their way. Paying it forward as it were. If they become a better programmer (or webmaster) than me that is my problem not theirs. If they become my competition, so be it, like I said competition forces change, forces me to keep up with what is going on, forces me to think outside the box.
I might not always like it but that is the way the world works.

on one hand I love to teach people new things, but on the other hand I see the saturation that is in front of us and cringe
i don't know one tgp guy that hasn't said to me in the past 6 months that his ratios have gone down the toilet
when I first started blogging I could easily get 1:100-200 ratios, now I am lucky to get 1:1000, and that is a GOOD day
it pains me to help newbies, because I know 1 in 5 of them will be the next nastyboards.com owner and be stealing from me in 6 months to make a buck selling dating and cams sites
the business is changing in such a scary way, YES it makes me jaded
as for my blog forum, that is something I haven't really kept up with lately, but am trying to start again
wanna know my reasoning for posting in there, and other forums, again about blogging? because the more traffic I get to my blogging blog, the more I can sell ads to webmaster programs for on there....plain and simple...everything I have been doing lately has a monetary goal, and sometimes that involves doing things that helps newbies out, just the name of the game...in order for me to make money in some of the areas I want to make money in, I have to cater to newbies and idiots...again, just the name of the game
I don't hate newbies, but I sure as hell am weary of them as of recently
then there are guys like rcourt who prove me wrong and go against all the typical newbie stereotypes....so, that at least gives me hope....but the majority of the time I just am sick of it all
I prefer to live in my own world where I work with established figures in the adult industry
