I'd concur with the above statement.
In the ten years doing online I've seen a lot come and go. Some new flashes in the pan every year. Always some new drama here or there. The one constant is change.
As for this board representing.. that's tough.
For those more experienced, I think it's easy to see who the fresh fish are despite their claims. I would say 80% of the board are either surfers, pay check players, keyboard warriors, or beer money barons.
i.e. a lot of small fries.
When you go to do any
serious business, you see how shallow some of these 'kings of industry' are. On the boards, and in chat, they are pimp daddy high roller. Talking like they are big shots, and all the rest. Much like online women talking as if they are Heidi Klum when they are closer to Medusa.
In real life, they have a few grand to their, or their company's name. But not much beyond that. They will tell you about all the affiliates they have, and how they are this and that. But when it comes time to cough up the cash, they are a notch or two above the beer barons.
That said, there are two sides to the gfy. That which is true, and most who've been around know. And then there is the facade.
But it's no different then any other board, even mainstream. Except I would say adult has more full time webmasters, and real money people than mainstream on the whole. Who have a few king fish, and the rest are all guppies waiting on the tablets from Shoebitch.
If you want to see the very definition of no money, big talkers. Check out mainstream where they'll stab their mother in the back for a nickel.
