I just got an email from a well know Industry message board that their General Message board is now for "Ïndustry Veterans"with 100+ posts. Been a member there since 2005 and have 76 posts so guess I dont qualify. Then again I dont do LOL, sig spots or fill posts
I can send them a support ticket and I quote
"The second way to gain access to the Private forums is to petition us directly. While we will only grant access to known adult industry professionals with a proven reputation, if you feel this describes you then please visit
www.dumbideas.com and open a support ticket with your request for instant access. If your request is not approved, it just means you aren't yet known to our staff, and you can still access the Public forums as always while you work towards access to the Private forums."
Honest to God....why would I bother? In an industry with issues, these are guys running a tradeshow. Has to make you wonder how anyone joins this industry.
