Sorry I missed out on this conversation yesterday
Being a long time friend of Oprano (as many others are) let me see if I can help out a little

You want more eyes to the site - sarettah was on track - stir shit. Don't be afraid to break eggs to make omelet. Luke Ford (even if you hate him) is always an easy target. Grab some dirt on his doings and gets him and others posting. Controversy sells

Want more posts - ask questions (like Colin does) about interesting topics. Questions require replies and thought exchanges as people have opinions are usually are willing to share their opinions

Also post interesting news articles (like Forest, Serge, MikeAI, myself and a few other do) and ask for other opinions about them and what they would do

Payment 3 weeks over due and John (where's the fucking money) is already on the case ..... act like a collection agency. call morning and evening. Find out why fees haven't been paid, what the problem is and more importantly HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM (have the sponsor send payment, take CC payment or check payment right then when you get them on the phone, if it bounces ..... cat's out of the bag) AND EVEN MORE IMPORTANT COLLECT!

Revenues down 7% - WHY? What has happened to make this drop happen - make the solution and keep it simple KISS

Respectfully I disagree with DV, Oprano doesn't need scripts and so on as most people here have made it in the business and already have what they need or know where to get it

right now it looks like the focus of this thread is on personality and growth of Oprano and maintaining the Oprano Brand (which are all important) but remember Mutt also did the sports pools (he found the software, installed it and maintained it)


Edit - get the Oprano newsletter back up and running on a regular basis, Print half the article or info in the email and link back to Oprano for the rest of the info
Also that is more ad space to sell

after the coffee kicks in maybe I'll think of a few more thing


p.s. Coffee is starting to work a little
as for new advertisers - any new program or product needs to be advertising with Oprano, this is where the movers and shakers (so to speak) of the business read. I would dare say the readers of Oprano have the highest per capita income of any Adult industry webmaster chat or resource board
