So you two can sort that out
And not mine either. Mind you being one of the best here isn't a big compliment.

But hey I don't blame you two, as Simon Scans has 503,687 photos on his site it is bound to be sausage factory...

Pauls point was that today's internet sausages arn't as good as those old Magazine sausages, and that sausages should be better made.

Simon doesn't like his sausages cut in strange places.

Paul is going to write a book (even though he says you can't learn anything from a book) on how to make sausages...

So forgive me if I don't want to do what you do, there is way to much of it about...
You really are an idiot. It's not about if Simon likes my work better then his work or visa versa. It's about if members and surfers like it. And the profit it makes.

With ratios and retention as bad as they are and always have been, the surfers and members are voting. Average ratios on a TGP were 1-1,000s, average retention was 3-4 moths. Not good. It means 99.95% of traffic didn't like the content enough to buy and when they did it was rarely good enough to keep them for a few month. People bought the same magazines and DVD for years. Because they liked what was in the magazines and DVD.

We went a different route, which clearly didn't work. http://www.gfy.com/showpost.php?p=18...&postcount=101

Nothing special. Amateur in fact and I can't be bothered to teach you why.
