In an attempt to make sure that we have equal representation I would like to speak out for the Newbies.

I canhahaha8217;t believe that the idea of hahaha8220;making it harderhahaha8221; for new people is even being discussed seriously. How is the industry supposed to improve and evolve without new people and fresh ideas? Complacency does not breed innovation. Competition is what fosters growth.

I can understand why some people resist newbies and those are the people who need competition the most. People who have either become complacent in their position or those who do not have a system that they feel comfortable with are those who lead the lynch-the-newbies movement and logic says that those people will be forced to change. They will either be required to shift their paradigm in the wake of new sites and programs or they will be forced to change in the face of an evolving industry. It is very difficult for a new person to built, launch and profit from a new site. I can tell you that as a new webmaster I spend as much or more time nurturing my sites as any seasoned pro. The difference is that a great deal of my time is spent making unprofitable mistakes, however in the end I am sure that this time will be worth all the effort.

Not many years ago the online porn industry was a lot different. It had to be much easier to make a profit before the flood of Free Porn gateways, but would things today be better were it not for that change? How many of you would like to go back to the days before TGPhahaha8217;s and try to make a living with the uncontrolled traffic that was meandering all over the Internet? I am not exactly sure how to harness the traffic that I need but I am learning more every day. I for one can see how the free porn sites have made it easier for us, as an industry, to control the flow of traffic and like with any system when you gain in one area you often lose in another.

I would like to see more people on this site take an active role in helping new people versus trying to cover their wall with the dead bodies of those who have failed. In the log-run it will be better for everyone.
