    The Recent rash of "Asshole"ism....

    There seems to a number of people lately that are just being plain assholes to people and that's not what this board should be about... I realize some are 17year old punks, that think they are cool by dogging people, but it's not.

    I'm not saying that there's not a time to be a asshole, but just cause someone is a newbie, doesn't mean we need to slam them every time they ask a question.

    There's all this talk about ethics, unions, and crap... Well, I think maybe the 1st place we need to start is by helping out the new people coming in to the biz.

          I agree with you 100% Wizzo

          first off, I don't know why ANYONE would be so mean in the first place - we work in the PORN INDUSTRY - what's NOT to be happy about?!

          but if you ARE unhappy, you don't need to rub it off on everyone else (and make them miserable too) or scare away newbies that are just looking for some HELP (not HELL)

          granted, I can see why experienced webmasters would get upset
          newbies asking "what sponsors work best?" etc
          and they're saying to themselves..."yeah, I wish it was THAT EASY when I started!"

          if they don't have anything positive to say, they shouldn't answer!
          they don't have to be mean about it

          and maybe it WOULD'VE been that easy if they would've just ASKED! (like the newbies are)



          just a thought

              Credit where credit is due. When I was brand spanking new in this industry (all those many years ago) and I didn't have a clue what I was doing I started emailing around the different TGPs asking to trade links with my then pathetic excuse for a TGP.

              Lisa Marie was the only one that replied and in fact she replied from both the TGPs she was running at the time. If she hadn't replied and been so kind I would most likely have given up.

              So what if its a bit easier these days. It just means there are more of us trying to give back some of the help we were given.

                What a difference a day makes!

                If it weren't for newbies, this would be the Wizzo monologues.

                    Yeah, Wizzo.

                    But I think in this biz all of us are newbies. Maybe newbie in TGP, CJ, LinkLists, SE traffic, toplists, paysites, freesites, AVS and stuff. I'm webmastering for more than 4 years, have toplists for more than 3 years but I'm a newbie in lots of stuff.

                    Just read read read, pots post post (think before posting) and don't be a asshole.

                        I read, but do not post much and have been thinking the same thing. seems like a bunch of assholes just trying to start trouble latly. everytime i go to a post that i think might be helpful to me, it ends up being a thread of people fighting.

                          Assholes Anonymous...

                          Hi, My name is Rage...and Im an asshole.

                          -Hi Rage, glad you could join us

                          I cant help put flame stupid questions on GFY I see the same post over and over. Im filled with rage because Im tired of people trying to get rich quick.

                          -But by helping new people, you will really be helping yourself

                          Bullshit, Most new people I try to help just quit after a few weeks. They dont listen to a fucking thing I tell them on ICQ. And by the looks of it...they dont take the advice of established webmasters...cause they QUIT after a few weeks! Nor do the use my affiliate links...after all the time I spend with them...bunch of fucking leaches.

                          -Sounds like you have some real internal struggles, let's work on that. Im sure you were new at one time too. Im sure you have posted what other believe to be stupid questions too


                          Ya, true, but when I ask a serious question, I search and listen to what has been said before. You got people starting sites called Freehun and shit...then asking "who wants to run a high traffic site?" or "How much money you guys make?" Give me a fucking break! How many times do I see a thread titled "Dialers" I bet if you put that term in the search function, you could come up with a whole fucking books worth of info about dialers and dialer sponsors. You have to admit that there are a lot of "help me get rich, im too lazy to research" questions being asked. Ya, and I know...I dont have to respond to them...most of the time I dont...I just do it for the fun of it!!!

                          -Very true rage...you are always right!

                                    Rage, Totally agree with you on everything.

                                    5 years in the bizz and daily I spend at least 60 minutes answering newbe q's. No problem, but I am not explaining it all, to see a competitors' dialer on their freaking page, or try to help them and get an answer like: "... Yeah, this is my second week and the programmer of the script said it is not possible, I see you DID do it, how did you do it.."

                                    Buy a BOOK (a pile of printed emails or faxes for those of you who forgot what they look like ), read tutorials etc. first.
                                    If 5 years ago somebody told us everything, we would be rich in a week, in stead of trying ourselves and LEARN.

                                    Serious newbee's don't ask stupid questions or reply to their own thread all the time. Bet you they are gone after the leather jacket

                                          Q: What's the difference between a proctologist and a bartender?

                                          A: A proctologist only has to look at one asshole at a time!

                                          seriously, be nice to each other kids. there are no stoopid questions. if you are tired of answering the same old questions from newbies, then just don't answer. jumping all over some poor joe/jane proves nothing but a lack of control.

                                              It's when the veins of your eyes and the veins of your ass get screwed up and you get a shitty outlook on things.
                                              Priceless.....absofuckinglutely priceless


                                              Just my take, but I don't find a whole lot of "newbie-bashing" going on that isn't well-deserved here. Some, but not all.

                                              I recall when I was first getting started nearly 3 years ago -- Although I've never been one to take any shit, I was none-the-less wide open to taking advice from other more experienced webmasters. Never once do I recall bringing attitude to a board and alienating everyone on it with what I think as opposed to what the more experienced people know. I tend to take a "shut up and listen" stance when I first arrive at a new information source, and after I feel more confident about what I know and what I can offer, THEN I venture to offer my input. I still ask for help if I need help, not matter how "experienced" I think I am. It's just good business.

                                              Few things are more infuriating to some than a newbie that is here to teach us all how to run things, or a newbie that wants us to help him by doing all his work for him (or her). My standard reply to newbies that ask me for help is not a nasty negative reply, it's more along the lines of "okay, I'll help you, here's what I think you should do" and I tell them straight up that this is going to require work work work on their part. I got no free rides thus far. I did get help from a few great people, but nothing was ever handed to me. I had to learn html and the in's and out's of webmastering all on my own, and it takes time and commitment, especially when you're starting out with zero computer knowledge like I had.

                                              Wizzo is completely right, some people's responses are a tad harsh and reactionary, and a little understanding wouldn't hurt. No one likes to be called a cheating stupid moronic asshole, but most people don't mind having the error of their newbie ways pointed out in a polite manner.

                                              It's when the newbie starts arguing with you that get's me going, especially if they are trying to defend stuff like "use of public domain content" etc.

                                                      I have shown one act of assholeism toward a newbie since being on this board and I truly regret it. If I were making excuses, I would blame it on the bad day I had, but of course I am not!

                                                      Everyone deserves a chance, just as long as they know it doesnt fall into your lap like many expect it to!

                                                      Again, I am sorry to all!

                                                          I used to think it'd be cool if, for just one day, we were allowed to shoot one person (that we hated)...

                                                          After thinking hard about this... I decided, due my lack of "charm" earlier in life, that I would do better if I just locked myself indoors, on that day.

                                                            This was the best! Great points Wizzo and most of the rest of you too.


                                                            Anytime I need a good belly laugh I can always count on someone in here to provide it for me at some time in the day!

                                                            Some of you should be doing live standup and titmouse the ooo ooo had me at the onset,
                                                            The level of commitment joke was rich too and ...well..shit.. You guys are so damn funny sometimes!

                                                            Wizzo it really was fan-f***ing-tastic to hear someone standing up for the new fellas for a change, ~smiles in admiration~

                                                            now to play devils advocate just a tad I will say this...
                                                            To be honest, and after being a mom, I can understand where some people are better off not helping. I would imagine that after years of the same old questions some person's might get irritated to hear it again and again, the point rage made about the search is a valid one, I'm sure it does'nt get utilized like it could.

                                                            Then too, back to the other side...
                                                            If someone else would rather help the Newbie's that has more patience and can do it without feeling like they are losing something in the offer, then they should do so and put the GFY BBS best foot forward for everyone's sake.
                                                            I personally dont mind helping anyone that I can, at anytime that I can.
                                                            Course, Midnight accuses me of being one of those, "blow sunshine up your ass", kinda happy to be alive people as it is anyway.
                                                            ~smiles brightly~
                                                            Just my two cents as usual...

                                                              I think FERRIS BUEHLER was one of the best movies I ever saw in the 80's ... only rivalled by THE WHOOPIE BOYS !!!

                                                                Great post Wizzo.

                                                                I know that I have gone to some threads thinking that they would be helpful, only to discover that a fight is going on.

                                                                It may be that more people would come out of the woodwork and post if they felt more confident that they would not be attacked.
