Being a noob (or insert witty comment) to this industry again after some years off I went back to my roots of looking at the boards for knowledge on what has changed and what has stayed the same and came across this thread and others from Paul. First I must say I do not know who you are from what I see you were a good producer of porn back in the day, way back. Can honestly say I have never helped your bankroll for I never bought one mag ever.

Even in the beginning dialing to BBS sites all that was there was porn and the anarchist's cookbook. Bootlegging has always been there and yet people still make money in this industry. Hell I bet some of the first pics I saw were copies of your pics scanned down. Now its millions of pages instead of a handful of phone numbers and aol with 2400 baud modems screeching.

You whine and cry, bitch and moan and go on like grandpa Simpson with a story that goes nowhere but I can say I am impressed. Washed up, out of touch, cynical as you are I must commend you for getting $3,000 for being an ass. I am waiting to see how this ends maybe you will pull it off and show people up but in a week guess we all shall see. As much as you have bashed shooters I think you won't get rave reviews from them and honestly IMO sales is where it needs to be. Can you get the all that market that so many of us just supposedly throw away with crappy conversions. You have brass balls for sure because I don't think I would have taken the pittance that was given you. Even though it was more than they normally pay. What you were paid was like when McDonalds paid the lady who spilled coffee in her lap. Was one days sales of what they made in coffee back then. Like throwing a penny away it was probably to them.

You complain that too much free porn is out there and piracy and such, how content is weak and (insert every other insult of anybody or anything here) but are the biggest hypocrite. For someone that hates so much of us affiliates putting too much free porn out, how much money have you made off us putting your weak outdated sets out there? The same complaints you make of all the paysites you do yourself. Plenty of galleries and such for us lowly dogs to sell your wares at one time that still archived out there that bring you money. Recycled content over and over again that don't keep members.

All online porn has been is like Internet stocks and the housing market make as much as you can for as long as you can till it crashes by almost any means necessary until it crashes. Unlike the stocks and houses porn will rebound because you are right in one thing porn has and always be wanted it is who will survive go where the market goes.

Course now I have a low post number so first attack is being new or nic of someone or not the industry for as long as you which is fine. Porn is a different tactic to sell but it still selling and that I have done for over 10 years in direct sales. In the market I'm in 75% do not qualify and of the rest only 2% actually buy. Kinda like another post you did about how many people bought porn mags back in the day in the UK. We deal in the same market porn does which is the younger generation. The market is ever changing but we still exceed volume each and every year. Why? Because we are ever changing how we interact with the market. We do not sit idly by and complain how it has changed but how we stay ahead of the change. We constantly bring in those of the generation or as close as possible to keep us as close to them as possible. The ones that always have stagnated us is those that stayed in the company for too long and refuse to change. Luckily when they get to that point we can send them off to pasture so they can sit in the bar or the message boards to talk about how things used to be and how the ones that took their place have screwed it all up.

Thank goodness in porn because of affiliates because from all that I have seen off and on in my times in this industry we have many times moved the market more than a producer or owner of content. Not to say we haven't made mistakes in it but again how much money have you made off of us? Hell with a 15 year old email account I have 90% of the incoming emails go straight to spam from some of the mistakes that were made in the online industry. This decline in the market will help put to pasture you and those like you that can't change or beating a dead horse so the next generation can take over. Will it ever get back to the good old days? Doubt it but it will rebound just takes that next new idea or revamp of the current business model.

No matter how much you tell everyone how it worked 30 years ago in a medium that was dying about the same time you really got going in the industry and blaming the same thing you use now to try and make money and got $3000 won't bring it back. Sure you have nuggets of wisdom in the rantings you do but it gets drowned out from all the attacks and gibberish you spout.

I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt since bashing is a way of life on message boards sometimes but after two hours of my life I will never get back that I had to respond to this. Makes me feel a little dirty because if we just ignore you you will go away because honestly this is the only thing that makes you feel alive anymore I am sure and we are enabling you.

Waiting in anticipation for the comments for I can say it will probably make me laugh and at the same time a feeling of pity for you
