Oh man I have been waiting to say that!

I don't think there is any worse parts. I think there are parts and days that are harder than others, but nothing that is so bad I would call it THE WORST.

With that said.

The absolute hardest part of my job is that it is like a leash. I am tied to it no matter the time of day. Many people go on vacation and their work stops. As everyone that is serious in this industry knows that if you go on Vacation you either take your laptop with you so you can work while on vacation, or you leave it behind and come back to a shit storm pile of work to take care of, so that would have to be the Hardest.

The second hardest would be when the drama shit hits the fan and keeping up with the deleting of thread content that violates the rules on top of everyone ICQing to tell you about more places the same stuff is posted. Then add that to normal daily duties can be pretty tough.

Lastly I would have to say the constant reinvention of ones business. Staying ahead of the game is important. Standing still in this industry is not an option. You constantly have to be moving forward and moving toward finding the next best thing or the next thing that is going to blow away the surfers to get them to join. That is where that office toilet time comes in. Nothing like sitting on the throne and getting in the thinking mans position to generate some great ideas!
