I wrote my first response late last night..was a bit tired, feed up, and a little pissed...

First of all,
This is not a fucking excuse or apology at all......moreover an explanation ....of my attitude last night.

I call them the *three month millionaires*..they come into adult...three weeks later after bouncing from board to board they get their first TGP/??? up...and two weeks later there is a post on here that asks *what am I doing wrong I'm not making any money* translated "ahhh shit, this is hard work and it takes skill and commitment".........they most likely walk away wondering why they didn't make their first million in three months...

Conversly for the hard-working and commited start-up paysite program, single model site, etc it's very hard to rise above the noise in the newbie world, to be trusted, taken seriously, and worthy of a helping hand. So we come to find while we are learning from asking *dumb* questions on the Boards and getting flamed occasionaly for them. We begin to realize that these are the people that we eventually be seeking out to convince to team with us the newbie. We learned that they are a huge part of our future and by asking those *dumb* questions we know how they feel about newbies...ohhh shit!!! These are the resellers ( affiliates/webmasters ) we need so we, the start up owners, can get back to what we do best (i.e. content producing, modeling, etc.) and be able to utilize the expertise of our newly signed up, experinced, reseller sales force to help us grow our business to a profitable enterprise. So, no biggie, thats the common learning curve in this industry for the most of us (i think it's only step 1 i'm afraid). We are commited and hard-working folks that understand we have to pay our dues and overcome our obsticles for success or we wouldn't have made it even this far.

Why I got pissed:
What I have found is that this industry has the most selfless, helping, and generous people of any industry on the planet. People that have never met you and have had two ICQ conversaions with you, a newbie, and ended up, for no payment no anything, staying up all night, working 12 hours straight to get your server, that you accidently aliased every file and folder on, back online...and they do it with a smile.

So when I see threads like this that some post'r pokes fun at the new program (which, when you don't know shit is hard as fuck to make a crappy one in the first place) I get pissed that the experienced people, in a relationship driven industry, don't help and educate. (and I am not sure that they didn't try) But that action continues to keep down an industry and not stimulate the learning curve of the newbie in an industry that has a overwhelming taboo. Secondly, it does a huge disservice to the amazing masses of helpful people that we, fulcrumstudio, and without a doubt most every start up, have had the fortune to benefit from the generosity and support.

So that's my fucking bullshit piece of mind...that's why I made the *talk the talk, walk the walk, if you have so much traffic shut the fuck up and prove it* statement....so flame me, troll me, fucking roll me.....I owe some cool people bigtime and look forward to working with many more cool people here in Adult...and that's that
