What I can't figure out is that a lot of these guys were leaving porn forever because they were so rich. There was no future in it anyway. But they are still here after calling us losers for staying in porn.
Jace is right on in his Confucy2 call. It took a long time, but true colours always shine.

I believe there's a bit of gamesmanship going on.

But I believe all of the key parties involved are experienced enough to know if you're going to piss, piss somewhere that it'll do you some good....on your own turf. Why benefit some other board will an all out piss fest?

So best you'll get is some grandstanding and long range shots.

Confucy2 is starting her own board? Why? I thought she was going to be some kind of medical receptionist or something.

Interesting that Oprano's Alexa numbers are pretty solid and gaining ground after the Chinese traffic invasion.

I am loved!!! Thanks for all the tender loving care and page views. The alexa numbers are real. I havent purchased and 404/chiniese or any traffic. Remember its me your talking about here. I cant afford such luxuries.

I stand by my original statement concerning the Jordan Capri promo to webmasters as being a marketing fuck up. But again when your pithicng to a community that is supposedky a webmaster resource but is 90% surfers - I can understand why he did it the way he did.

I dont have any problem with Steve Lightspeed though. Steve if you took this as a personal shot then I apologize.

You probably think that buying this board was a big business mistake for me.

I’m going to say something and it’s not intended to insult anyone, especially not you Gonzo. I admit that when you first came aboard I thought you were just another dickless wonder. Over time we both have gained respect for one another. I personally think you’ve done a wonderful job and I know it hasn’t been easy. Times have changed and the industry is going through a major shift.

This was and is pretty much the only board I ever bothered with. Things got really petty and when I’d come here it was all bullshit. I missed the threads we had and intelligent topics as well as “real pissing” not this stupid ass shit they think is pissing.

Another thing… I’ve been in the industry a very long time but this is not a full time gig for me. Sometimes I get really busy and wrapped up in my non-adult stuff then need help with the adult stuff. I thought that webmasters boards were not only for networking but to support one another. I came here to ask questions and hopefully get help & was completely ignored. Now maybe I am a little fish in a big pond but that shouldn’t matter if Oprano is truly a webmasters board. I moderate two forums of my own and I make it my JOB to make sure every person that signs up to those boards feels like they are part of the community. I think this is what makes a successful board. I think you got what it takes Gonzo I just think that you got a bit discouraged during the change over and I also think that you’ve learned a lot. You can think this is utter BS or take it as one persons advice worth listening to.

Even as discouraged as I was I came back because this is like a home for me and I keep hoping it will restore itself to the place it use to be.

This board was subjected to an amazing tirade by old school members and survived. Against all odds, some might say. A few mis steps along the way but is now looking good. And the attacks continue. But there sure seems to be a lot of "guests" cruise through and those attacking Oprano certainly seem to know a lot about what is going on here. LOL

I gotta disagree on Lightspeed. It seems that campaign worked very well.

The real irony here is that she plans to start her own board, and I'm pretty sure she's already contacted the original Confucy to join her.

I dont know if that is the old enemy of an enemy is a friend thing working or what. Might be a blast from the past to dig up some of the old threads here and remind everyone just how nuts the original was when she was infatuated with Kevin.

And I seem to remember Confucy2 being present for some of the in person conversations with Darci in Vegas regarding some of the whacko stuff involving bringing her child into the fray....that's a line that only the lowest of the low ever cross even amongst scummy pornographers.
