14. How 'real' is your board persona?

My board persona is just that, a PERSONA
Look it's no secret this board loves drama...

This board also likes to hear dirt and salacious gossip.
It's a fact.
How else do you describe the amount of posts in a thread in which I personally attack someone for not paying me or talking shit- and it gets 10,000 views plus

Other threads like " We are paying webmasters $50 a sale"
Or "Reasons why you should join the FSC"
get less priority and considerably less views and it's a shame -but people really do enjoy a good car wreck.

I think I must clarilfy one thing however-
Anytime you see me posting I am usually shamelessly promoting a good company I rep, or adding some "flavor" to another thread through my use of humor and my background experiences with individuals-

Most of the time people should take me with a grain of salt-
I have often told people the reason I don't do my radio show anymore, and the reasons I don't post useful information on boards is quite simple-

It took me years of getting screwed and eating a lot of crow to get where I am. Nobody sat me down and explained HTML or how a website even worked back in 98-99 I was kind of left to fend for myself. I have to thank a lot of people along the way however.

I got quite a decent education from meeting some people on this very board as well as others like: Netpond, YNOT a Adult Netsurprise and Oprano.

Call me selfish, but the reason I consult with companies and share my vast knowledge about people, places and things in this bsuiness is because that is how I make my money-
Why should I give people a heads up or teach someone how to make their money for free here?


I also think most people don't get my sense of humor and style. A lot of people find me to be an arrogant twat and a big ballon filled with hot air. I always get a smile on my face after meeting someone from a board in person and after spending some "quality time" with them I get the same ubiquitous answer
" WOW KB!, you are nothing like the person I perceived you as being, you are a funny, nice guy"

That always warms the cockles of my heart.
I always look forward to meeting new people or putting peoples' face with their nick's on this board.

Anyone who has ever spent some time with me knows that I am a person who always calls it as
I see it, I am as loyal as the day is long, and if you fuck with me
I just don't lay down and play dead.

I have been in this business for 8 yrs. Ihave seen people get promoted into positions they have no business being in, I have seen hot shots come and go, I posess one the web's best Bullshit detectors and I do think a lot of people fear me for the knowledge I have about their businesses or because of my contacts worry they may tell me too much sometimes-

It's funny because I used to get accused of being a leak to people like Luke Ford.

Now I "seed" people with bad information. and watch the seeds come back. I learn real quick, who is talking to who-
and who to trust and who not to trust.

I once had a man in this busines tell me a long time ago in this business " It's better to be feared , than loved"

While I generally love and care about everyone- including my enemies, I hate to admit it , but he is turning out to be right.

The more fear people have of me lately, the more money I seem to be making.

I guess I should say goodbye to Mr. Nice Guy?

I hope a lot of people love me in the end- cause I have really met some super people in this business.

For every hundred great webmasters I meet out there- there are about 4 or5 of them I consider total scumbags-

4-5% isn't so bad
When I was in radio
I worked in an environment that was about 90% douchebags...

So while the Online Adult business may be the lowest rung on the ladder of the "Entertainment Business"

It sure does have a great cast of characters and it's share of "good ones" .
