The topic says it all.

Dagwolf · 07-12-2004, 10:59 AM

Because

Edit: The Webmaster Q & Fuckin' A forum is plenty newbie friendly.

I try to be nice to the newbs, especially those who seem to have more common sense than a toaster oven.

Corleone · 07-12-2004, 11:03 AM

Alex · 07-12-2004, 11:04 AM

It's like a clique from highschool.

Inpenetratable.

I'd like to refine that. It's like highschool: full of impenetrable cliques and lots of unaffiliated loners and a few very successful people who are doing their own thing.

New kids are never welcome. The girls may pretend to be friendly, but they spit and scratch easily.

it's usually not the community, but the newbie. newbie webmasters are generally decent, and experienced webmasters who are new to porn are generally decent. most adult newbs that come to boards like this are totally retarded though. chances are, if you know nothing about computers and want to make millions in online porn, you're really really annoying

zentz · 07-12-2004, 11:27 AM

it is how it is , nothing we can change about it

Very accurate.

What are you talking about? GFY is full of newbs... i'm sure it's also full of alot of people that have been in the industry for years but are still only making 1/sale a week and bragging about their high post counts.

because GFY is full of newbies who think they are better than newbies :-)

woj · 07-12-2004, 12:17 PM

because it's not really a webmaster board...

Well i am sure there are several reasons. One is because we have a lot of young people here who are, or who pose as webmasters and think it looks good on them to trash others....they have some growing up to do.

For some I think they have just lost patience with a lot of people who say "hi, i'm new, so tell me how to make a ton of cash with no investment of time or money right now...better yet...can you just do it for me cause I'm too lazy to read tutorials" By saying that what they are actually saying is "making money in this industry requires no talent, research or time" and the people who put everything they have into it day in and day out take offense.

Alex · 07-12-2004, 01:13 PM

Actually I found that in the highschool click situation it was the newbie that alienated themselves more than the groups did. And as a newbie under 100 posts I feel I have been treated well and helped a lot. Don't be annoying or stupid and people will help you a lot.

I made a mistake the other day and posted by hitting new post instead of reply, some people were cool and kinda ragged me like a little brother, others used it as an attempt to seem cool by bashing me. It is all about self esteem, I got it so the dicks who were mean to me I shrugged off. Everyone was a newbie here at one time, it seems to me if you keep posting and people get to know you over time you will be considered ligit, in the mean time you will be abused, do not quit and your pay off comes? Everything is a cycle. Thanks to all the people who have helped me though my site/program is coming VERY soon!

You are not the typical newbie. I think most get run off pretty quickly.
