Why? I rather a back and forth dispute (even if it does get repetitive) about business and number projections over 95 percent of the posts on this board, maybe 99 percent. One thing that is never discussed in this industry is numbers, people truly have no idea what to expect out of their sites or what their competition is doing . Alot of people dont know how to analyze traffic numbers or a sites success, so regardless of the back and forth bitching, i think theres more to take from this thread than vast majority of other threads. i think im one of the only people who shares my numbers on gfy and discusses other peoples success. If more people would research like that, there would be alot of webmasters who do alot better.
If you were starting a solo site, and wanted to know profit margins, member base expectations, etc - you could only find that out in threads identical to this, that ive been involved with.
Already in this thread, we have discussed costs of scenes, mentioned successful sites, what you need for an investment in solo, what you need for hardcore, if you want to compete with the large scale sites, etc
theres information to be had from any conversation about the business, no matter how annoying the bickering can be.
and you want us to take it private to go back to the posts about poo and black people?
Also i like having evidence of what people say to refer back to later.
