Almost 2 years ago, I had the rug pulled out from under a project that a partner and I had spent just over a year building. We had some sites done, and many feeder sites alive and growing. Several major players had given time and willingly donated resources. Programmers had been paid, TONS of content was in place. I can't even count the number of hours...if not months that we spent cutting vids. Servers had be paid for, tested and reconfigured several times. So much time and effort spent putting everything into place that we would need for a honest attempt at success.

Without any notice, a third party who was a major financial contributor decided to leap out of the adult biz all together...he was able to pull the plug on everything. (First mistake, get a contract from friends too)

I figure for at least a solid year, I had spent up to 10 hours per day 7 days a week working on this project while also still holding a job. The sites I had before were still alive, but had withered to nothing due to neglect.

Here I am, 2 years later still spinning my wheels in a pile of rubble. Should I quit? Some would say so. But like you I do honest business, I work hard, and my loyalty is very strong...I will eventually figure out what I need to do to regain the success I was having before pushing it off to the side only to be sideswiped.

You know you won't quit, and I won't either. Knowing so much about the biz and the people that are here is a major plus. Just need to figure out where to focus the energy, gotta find that one thing to focus on and turn it into something great.

Wow...I feel like I just had a therapy session. Many of you probably know who my partner was and possibly the project we were working on, but this is the first time I have really said anything about it...I suppose because of crushed pride.

Thanks for listening...keep your chin up.
