non-threaded boards always seemed more homey to me... people get involved in a lot more of what is being discussed instead of seeing a page with 10 topics and maybe opening one of them that looks interesting.

Serge, the nature of the business has changed
Some of the brightest and best minds may have left for greener/other pastures
Looking at innovations, if I find something successful I'm not likely to share it the way we did 5-7 years ago (even though it will come out in the wash)
It's a tougher business and when I find something that works I keep a tight lid on it
To some degree boards are now like a water cooler in an office
Some chat, maybe a little shop talk, contacts (and reputations) made
1997 it ain't - it's a different beast
All in all Oprano probably offers it's advertisers the best value as the brightest minds tend to come here (that's not a knock on other boards)
Part of the reason I read/post here is at most other boards I'm in the top 5% intelligence wise, here I don't even make the top 20% intelligence wise
I'd rather be at the deep end of the pool being a little fish in a big ocean (instead of a big fish in a little pond)
Sorry for the rambling - I need another espresso before coherent thoughts set it
I guess my final question is Serge - what can YOU do to raise the bar a little more
After all it's your board
Edit for spelling

Monk,
people DO have different interests and I was skipping posts on non-threaded before..
I like the ability of threaded to skip thru footbal topics which are boring to me, and they are interesting to 75% of others

I remember Dean telling me ages ago with Netpond that all the boards preached to the same people , and that there a re thousands of webmasters out there that have no idea they exist.
Spam every webmaster with mail , take the heat. (Will certainly bring a lot of views during the spamming piss it will cause)
Get bullet proof hosting first ;-))
Then you and MikeAI have a full fledged piss war , rude poems help ;-))
or you could just.......
Undercut everyone.
Do some underhanded deals.
Go to people houses enjoy there hospitality all the time planning how to fuck them over
ahhh....all those have been done before ;-))))
There is nothing new anymore is there????
Well , except the latest "new thing" which loads of mailers etc have been talking to me about , is sending traffic doing ok.
Then getting prepays and watching conversions go from 1 in 200-500 to 1 in 5000 -10,000 but this is a piss for another day ;-)))
Easier these days and more profitable to send traffic to non-adult.....maybe a big non-adult board?
hmmm you could always..
Spam every NON- ADULT webmaster with mail , take the heat. (Will certainly bring a lot of views during the spamming piss it will cause)
Get bullet proof hosting first ;-))
.....................................

I HONESTLY don't know...
I answered cazzilions of questions over the years...and I hoped I could ask one and get an answer.
Where I sit today,
I'd rather have the place where I can talk with friends, piss with friends,
and worry not about anything else, like sponsors well being.
Good people are hard to find..and I know the rest of this saying
;-)))

do you need an URL?
It's a free country, last time I checked and you can do what you wish.
You won't find my links to Oprano there no more.

It is your board and like any other businessman, do what you like. But if you are asking.....

re: travel stories...
NOBODY has more of them than Meat,
he can go for days without repeating himself
;-))
http://netpond.com is his URL and the adventures he had been into-
all of us combined can't stand against him
;-))
as for carrots...I am sick and tired of hanging them....it's too easy,
no much stimuli there
;-(((

Why don't you just open a board where you and your friends can hang out, bullshit, play poker, smoke cigars, drink vodka and no one makes a penny? Password protect it and only let those guys you like in the front door. Shut this one down and enjoy life.

Serge, you have so much knowledge in this industry and you have so much to give. I don't know what you want in your life right now. If you do have Millions of dollars, then you shouldn't waste your time on all this. you don't have to.
You should do a radio show and start interviewing the main players and ask the questions no one has the balls to ask. give these TGP and broke webmasters(Like Me) something to look forward to everyday. Give them hope. Show them what you know. get back to basics and help this sagging industry. you can clean up this industry.

Pat,
1) I don't know shit....as I found out in London,
the industry changed so much, that ALL my knowledge of it is practically absolete. I can't give traffic, I can't give content/innovation adice and the ONLY advice I can give:
People, you are being FUCKED royally, over 30% of your traffic is stolen by the people you never heard of will fall on the deaf ears.
2) as for asking the questions nobody has the balls to ask,
guess what:
my head is NOT bullet proof. I'd rather NOT know....

I have been saying this or something quite like it for years and have gotten in a world of shit for it. I thought it was quite obvious.

Take your meds and reread. ;-)))
I did not say money was my prime motivation.
But from reading your erroneous leap having read my post , I can conclude you are more concerned about it ,than I , probably as a result of a lack thereof.
;-))

dude, stay with Nick, he KNOWS what he is talking about.
I only got interest in Money in...May of 1999, after I bought the house in Florida
