GFY Focus Group - This Industry Isn't Fucked
Ok, this is the largest adult forum in the entire industry. There is no disputing that. While several big players have cut back on posting - we all know you're lurking 
So, this is a good opportunity in my opinion for everyone to express their thoughts - not attack anyone - about the present state of things, where things are going and what can be done to circumvent negative elements; or turn them positive.
We as a whole have a lot to contend with. There have been several key people taking a stand on specific issues, but we all need to be on the same page.
Same page in adult? You might ask if that's even possible. I think it's not easy, but possible. Someone just said a week or so ago we are a reactive industry, and it's time for that to change in my own opinion.
Very few of us can afford (or even WOULD) throw money at things to make them go away, yet many of us ACT like we do or could.
Let's get real.
The only true way to stop things that are eating away at our profits is UNIFICATION.
Now, I'm not the most well-informed, knowledgable person on this board. I only halfway believe everything I read here and elsewhere until I see it first hand, but that's just how I am. As a result, I see the negative elements but I don't think I could ever list them all.
I have a feeling a lot of people are the same way. We're all very busy a lot of the time and all of our focus is on #1, our businesses running smoothly. THIS is exactly what the concept of community is FOR!
Let's work together on this. Who cares if it's something you want to keep for an "advantage" - that's being penny-wise and pound foolish.
What I'd like to see is everyone, and I mean EVERYONE posting in this thread about what they see as the top problems - and ideas to solve them! Suggestions are welcome! We've read a few times people suggesting a coalition representing webmasters - even a union! Let's see what we can come up with!
Synergy is certainly not a new concept, but it is powerful - let's use it to our advantage.
Thank you for your time and I hope you contribute!
