To board whore or not to board whore

11-02-2005, 09:19 AM

That is the question.

Boards use to be, in my opinion, a very useful part of any marketing strategy.
Now I see a shift in boards, over the past couple years new ones have popped up, old ones have tried to reinvent themselves and almost all of them are seeing shifts in both number of posts and quality of posts. Times of plenty and times of want.

Do you think this has changed or is changing? What causes boards to slow down then pick up? Do contests really increase the boards activity long term? Have you increased or decreased the number of boards you post on?

What part of your board strategy has changed?

I think board whoring is level 1 webmastering. You can even do it from your cellphone. No skills required, but sometimes can earn you some cash.

Obviously it is only a small piece of the puzzle. But years and years ago board posting was VERY essential. Big names were abundant in chat rooms and on message boards. You could have done a who's who of the adult industry off boards alone. Now, it is very different. What caused the change? Is it essential to post on a variety of industry message boards in order to get your name out and be respected within the industry?

So much has changed, but so much stays the same.

Boards to me are just outlets where I can feel free to express myself to like minded people.

The change is that this GFY is open to absolutely ANYONE (and this applies to all forums), and the community has been watered down by sufers, leechers, spammers, idiots, and their dogs. This has caused a real degredation of the kind of business you can do on the board now.

Do you use the boards to generate business or as previously mentioned an outlet to express yourself?

Exactly what I was getting at!

I miss the days of the old YNOT chat room. I would spend hours chatting with what people now would consider veterans. The knowledge one could gain from an hour of chat with the likes of PK, RB or even your everyday webmaster was absolutely amazing.

Marie and I remember those days too - sadly they're all gone. These days we're busier than ever but very little of that work comes from places like this.

In fact these days I only seem to come in here for a break while I'm downing a coffee.
