Take the time you take posting, and build site, galleries, anything. Write in blogs, trade links, create a webmaster resource manual. Learn to code, learn to design, learn to write good content. Use that time to build something productive, something you'll be able to use a year from now. Trust me, you can do a lot of damage in this industry with 5+ hours a day of hard work.

What I'm trying to say is that you may make a few hundred bucks a month posting all day, but it doesn't mean shit a year from now. You'll be in the same position with 30,000 more posts in your count and a reputation as a sigwhore. Use that time to build yourself into a productive person in the industry. If you're short on cash, there are a million sponsors who will front you cash for a domain, some hosting, or whatever if you promote them. You say these big players have passed on all this valuable information to you, I say use it. Trust me on this, you will regret wasting this time a year or two from now.
Yes exactly. And dont think Im bitching on you for being a noob. Everyone is a noob at some point, but dont come in and act aloof like you know what you are doing, and have a secret hidden knowledge. Then berate people that are your betters. Post about what you REALLY know. Ask questions when you dont. Work hard at learning.
