Paul, you are right, I did miss the "good old days" the "hey day" boat. And yes You rode it and made your money. I have mad respect for you for you and all of your accomplishments. Good for you. Im not here to fight with you or anybody, i just disagree with you and a few others.
And as far as me missing the boat, you are dead right. I have missed the good old days boat. I have not made the kind of money you have probably made.
I have only been in this business for the last 10 years. I live in Porn Valley where the best of the best compete for work. It is cut throat here and people who i know are good content shooters are leaving everyday.

The good old days ended about 5 years ago. If you had been selling sets 5-10 years ago you also would of known the good old days. Yes the decline had kicked in. But while people were paying $300-$500 for an exclusive solo set and video, Barely Legal were paying $2400 for a non exclusive set. Then there was the UK, EU, second rights and the Internet. All still buying in 2005.

I stand by my statements:
Nicky is good solid people who i have the utmost respect for as a person and as a content shooter and he has also been in this business for 25+ years. I can call Nicky any time with any question i have about anything and he gives me the honest answer. He is the single most strait up person that i have ever had the pleasure of meeting in the adult business. People like that will always get my respect.
Nicky lives in the "today", the "now", he also lives, shoots in porn valley. He competes with the best of the best and he is still working.

Then he didn't make enough to sit back like we can. WILL someone PLEASE ICQ me his real name so I can put a handle to his Nick, I will not reveal it. Just would love to know who he is.

And as of "today" not 20 years ago Brazzers has some of the nets very best online adult content. I don't give a fuck who had the idea 1st or who originated that style of shooting. I am talking about what is getting shot and produced "today".

If they have some of the best online content then there's a very big reason people aren't buying like they used to. From what I saw and "I stand by the statement" WHAT I SAW WASN'T GOOD.
That actually disappointed me because as I make it clear I think content is King and I expected them to have raised the bar on production. Did you read my comments on the scene I reviewed? The basic mistakes made in that scene are repeated over and over.
If they seriously did raise the bar and produce less quantity and more quality they would have a lot more members. Adding 3 more scenes that are average and little to differentiate between the other 3,000 isn't good business management.
