We are kind of to blame on that... I remember back in 1999 fewer boards, more RICH programs fewer part time webmasters. Yes there was some huge opportunist back then that have made it hard for us to continue doing good clean business but at least back then you knew who they where and had the choice to do business with them. Much more money was around and we saw it with Big Booths, Sponsors contest. Parties like the one Nat Net threw in Atlanta where all over the place.

Boards where fun and full of good people that where ready to help you when they saw you where understanding this industry, always where the occasional lurker but people ad more respect for each other. There was way less underage webmasters and Piss match where the real thing. Serge against Brad Shaw, Brad Shaw against the world (some things don't change)

I think the problem is with these high traffic boards WE MADE IT TO EASY to get in this Industry... Some guys out there said let's open some boards and teach the world on how to try to make money in porn... No matter who they are they just need an ID (real or not) and a monitor to hide behind.

How many sponsors out there check ID of affiliates? I can guarantee you because I know so; we are all paying kids under 18 to promote our programs... We are welcoming any Tom, Dick or Arriette into OUR business world and tell them sit back and read, then we show them how to open a paypal account and we?ll pay them to post. No matter how old just post I?ll paypal you $50 bucks.... word of mouth a kid finds out tells all his friends ... BAM here we go ARS all over the place.

Then they learn about galleries but too much work so they become spammers. Pretty easy known hosting company will give you a mail server for 160.00 a month. Then you get the mail software from a GFY?er and couple of list here and there. They tell you how to use proxies and damn you?re a kid and you making a few bucks.

I love this industry and it?s been part of my life for over 6 years. I think it?s time we open our eyes and see that we are killing it ourselves buy not respecting rule number 1

It?s the ADULT Industry.

Don?t get me wrong I know a couple of really young webmasters out there that have the right attitude but to be honest? They are RARE.
