    what programs just suck money out of the industry and never give back

    what programs never give back by sponsoring party's at the shows or do contest on the boards etc.

    what programs just take from the community and are not part of it or care to be?


    Personally I would never do biz with them


    Post away if you have the balls

      Umm sponsoring parties is the last thing most of us give a shit about. You do realize more webmasters never go to shows than those that do right?

      www.clickcash.com and you couldn't make me quit promoting them, hell I'd say you couldn't pay enough for me to even consider it. ;)

              what's wrong with not throwing parties ?

              some programs rather spend the $$$ on higher payouts or better members areas to retain better.

                  Yep, well said. I think alot of programs help out in there own way. Be it Parties at shows, Seminars, Giveaways, Auctions for Charities, etc.

                  All is good

                      I would rather have a program support the FSC instead of throwing a free dinner at internext.

                              In fact it would rather piss me off to promote a sponsor that was out blowing money on making sure the guys in Vegas to cheat on their wives could get good and liquored up before they fingered some whore on the showroom floor.

                                          Most programs already support the FSC

                                              The things that are give away, are appreciated. But I dont see throwing a party for a bunch of people to come and drink your booze, take your gifts, and never send you a single click is worth the time and effort.

                                                  Roger,

                                                  you know the deal.. In the old days we used to sponsor alot of stuff, 5k here, 10k there but not really much anymore - once in awhile.

                                                  At trade shows, sponsorship is good for branding, etc - Does it always pay off asap, nah, but mabey that next new webmaster who drank at your party will remember your proggie, or a "whale" showed up and chatted with you and now sends xxx signups per day....

                                                                          I just like to support Programs and companies who give back a little and dont shun themselves from the industry. It can be done in many ways not just parties.

                                                                          I also appreciate all the parties I go to and do biz with those who give back pther than just a payout like we all already do

                                                                                  you know the deal.. In the old days we used to sponsor alot of stuff, 5k here, 10k there but not really much anymore - once in awhile.

                                                                                  At trade shows, sponsorship is good for branding, etc - Does it always pay off asap, nah, but mabey that next new webmaster who drank at your party will remember your proggie, or a "whale" showed up and chatted with you and now sends xxx signups per day....
                                                                                  totally but back then there were only a handful of programs and we all knew each other LOL

                                                                                  Personally I dont think the branding of a party helps becasue most webmasters dont give a shit they expect it now. but the ones who do give back need to get more appreciation is all

                                                                                  I have stopped doing parties and ow do small diners,shirts etc. for those I know support my program.

                                                                                  I have much respect for those who still throw the big parties.

The ones that you have helped, or entertain will remember this. The problem is sometime it goes so overboard that traffic guys gets full of themselfs and will expect free shit and all even before sending traffic.

                                                                                                                                      Either way i think we should support those that dfo becasue its not cheap to sponsor shit. most of the time you already have money and are doing fine when you decide to give back

                                                                                                                                              And honestly, I don't care if sponsor is "part of the community", I look at my bottom line, it turns out that most of the sponsors that are not part of the community convert better than those that are over-marketed on the boards, so those are the ones I push...

Seems like Adult Friend Finder ended up popping up all over my computer just before I had to have my hard drive reformatted.

                                                                                                                                                          Corporations, mainstream or adult both rewards itself far more than any individuals unless they happen to be a few individuals at the top or even one individual at the top who's names reside on the company owners etc.

                                                                                                                                                          After that they are the only that really make anything.

                                                                                                                                                          I have seen countless times a company suck an individuals resources dry, use them for contact information, lists and then discard them like yesterdays trash. It happens alot in ADULT sadly anough and in Mainstream I can only guess.

                                                                                                                                                          You can look at Corporate America now as it cashes out on people that spent thier entire lives working for a company to have 401K's and various retirement plans vanish right beneath thier feet.

                                                                                                                                                          It's fucked up. Its greed. There is nothing human about it.

                                                                                                                                                              And honestly, I don't care if sponsor is "part of the community", I look at my bottom line, it turns out that most of the sponsors that are not part of the community convert better than those that are over-marketed on the boards, so those are the ones I push...
                                                                                                                                                              interesting I bet I out convert them Infact if I dont I will pay you double what you would have made with them if you are honest and show proof because I dont believe you

                                                                                                                                                              at least your honest

Kinda make you wonder why you care or give back in more ways then a payout.

Perfect Gonzo, Nasty dollars, etc.

                                                                                                                                                                              Corporations, mainstream or adult both rewards itself far more than any individuals unless they happen to be a few individuals at the top or even one individual at the top who's names reside on the company owners etc.

                                                                                                                                                                              After that they are the only that really make anything.

                                                                                                                                                                              I have seen countless times a company suck an individuals resources dry, use them for contact information, lists and then discard them like yesterdays trash. It happens alot in ADULT sadly anough and in Mainstream I can only guess.

                                                                                                                                                                              You can look at Corporate America now as it cashes out on people that spent thier entire lives working for a company to have 401K's and various retirement plans vanish right beneath thier feet.

                                                                                                                                                                              It's fucked up. Its greed. There is nothing human about it.

Designers can set their own prices and get paid upfront. Companies pay the designers, everyone is happy, did you expect to own a percent of the website for your design? if so, I believe you are crazy.

Man - we had a blast. few hundred people there, you could actually talk and hear one another.. Did some good biz in the suite

Used to go to the blowout parties just to be seen, but I'd end up leaving anyway. Now, I'd rather just hang with friends (or play Let It Ride with them - right Todd? ) - sure wish the NatNet Suite thing hadn't blown up to the point where they had to change directions

Perfect Gonzo, Nasty dollars, etc.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  What programs or content providers etc have done biz with them?
                                                                                                                                                                                                  Just curious because I have never met an owner of either program

                                                                                                                                                                                                  but I hear they throw great parties

                                                                                                                                                                                                  BTW nothing against either program I dont really care

Meaning that the company ultimatly got the best deal.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      I been around long enough to know that it is not ability in the technical field but the price that most companies base there decision on. After all the haggling the innovator of lets just say...

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Hell I even designed for you! But what I am saying does not apply to you but generally it does from an existential point of view looking in, the internet is a buyers market, prices are low. In short the Bulls are out. I know the deal and how it goes and never really angry about it, I been doing it to long to get upset.
