One time announcement: Leaving the industry
 

I've been working with online porn for almost 6 years now, and it's been a fun time. However, I'm now at the point where porn is starting to get in the way of my other endeavors, with regards to both time and association.

Simply put, I was forced to decide between spending my life reading 1000-page books, writing tons upon tons of essays, papers, etc and having seemingly endless discussions about minor details with dull old professors, or making craploads of money for looking at hot naked chicks all day. The choice was obvious :winkwink:

So, bye all.

And cheers :glugglug

Gonna unload your stuff? How much if so?

EDIT: Sorry for the rushed post. I don't understand your post; have you recieved a degree?

If so, congratufukinlations.

Not gonna sell anything. Most of my sites don't really require maintenance, so I'm just gonna stop spending time on porn. If all goes well, the income will only slowly drop, and it'll take quite some time before it stops altogether. :glugglug

You're Fired

:thumbsup

You can not escape the Pr0n! :1orglaugh

Tell the truth, p1mpdogg and the sig whores drove you away didn't they?


Good luck in whatever you do.

Cheers. :glugglug

I hope you were drunk when you posted and you will not leave the biz:winkwink:

Good luck :)

:1orglaugh

Goodbye and good luck. It's sad to loose a GFY poster with a
fully-functioning brain. They're few and far between.

In a few months, you will come back to online porn - as a surfer :Graucho

Can I have your nick? :1orglaugh

Best of luck :glugglug

Thats impossible.

I don't know you, but Punk is cool. Good luck with things.

Good luck with your education :thumbsup

:thumbsup

... dump that amish chick and come back.

what are you studying and where?

or, if you aren't studying anymore, what is it you're doing?

Best of luck :)

bullshit ... you'll be back ASAP ... I saw a lots of webmasters leaving adult biz ... they are ALL back ... even guys with millions


so enjoy your small and short pause ;)

Good luck with whatever you choose to do! If you come back, I'm sure you'll be greeted with open arms! :thumbsup

Good luck, punkworld.

don't forget, you're here forever.

Best of luck with everything! :thumbsup

Thanks to those who replied.

I won't be back though, studying philosophy, writing and some activist projects take up way too much of my time. Even though the money from porn is nice - or rather, extremely, very, ridiculously fucking nice - some things are simply more important than money.
One only lives once, might as well make the most of it :glugglug

Porn will always be here if you every want to come back...but I think you are making the right decision. Good luck!

good luck

good decision, I hope you can get a job in it.

I always have respect for people that can walk away from money because of principles, but I'll never be able to do that (or I just haven't found the right reasons yet). And I wonder what activist projects you are talking about? But: good for you, I hope you'll never regret it!

best of luck! :glugglug

Good luck in all your future tasks...:thumbsup

good luck with your philosophy shop.

other than bars and restaurants, philosophy shops have the worst failure rate of all small businesses, most fail in their first 6 months.

Just principles wouldn't do it for me either. It's more about doing what I love, working with the things that really interest me.

The activist projects are mainly critiques of mass consumption and the stranglehold of commercial mass media on democracy. Also some other stuff, but I can't really get into that now.

When you do what you love, money doesnt mather I think.

The activist projects sound like some heavy stuff! Interesting!

Philosophy shop? :eek7

Good luck with everything :)

what do you charge for some philosophy? I'd like some, maybe 2

:1orglaugh

that made my day lol

Punkworld, your thoughts remind me of the Chicago 10 and alot of guys I new in my hippy days Abbey Hoffman, Tom Hayden, etc...:1orglaugh

They all said they would never go with the establishment and the money :helpme

In the end they all left the idealism behind and became businessmen and congressmen and WENT FOR THE MONEY!!!

In the end you will get tired of the mainstream and theoretical
philosophical bullshit and come back where you belong, with us pimps and whores who like money, houses cars, naked women, stripclubs, wild parties, young pussy and lot's of drinks!!

Good luck til you come back though:thumbsup

ahahahahahahahahaha (no offense)

Abbey Hoffman never lost his idealism, he never sold out. I believe he committed suicide because he got so depressed that the rest of his generation, the Rubins and Haydens, sold out.

sold out=wised up
you can be stupid in your youth but its a real killer once you grow up.:1orglaugh

One of the reasons I'll really miss GFY is that there are so many wondrous ideas here.

For instance, a while ago tons of newbies were saying that there's no more money in porn. Now, it seems a bunch of veterans are thinking that there's no money outside of porn :1orglaugh

Seriously, leaving the industry does not mean living in poverty, nor does activism mean becoming a broke hippie.

:glugglug

This veteran thinks no one leaves good money for bad. they just quit pretending.:winkwink:

gudluck to your new career :thumbsup
sometimes, we really have to decide for
the better good of our lives

Good luck!

Word up dude. I've been reading a ton of books lately on those that subject. Here two off the top of my head I bet you have heard of them : "no logo" "jihad vs mcworld". I almost wanted to quit my job and become a gypsy... take care.
