i didnt mean that thread in an agressive tone, i'm just curious how you're reacting to it because it's kind of interesting 
I see boards as being like countries and we all know there is one really big country at any given time (as the history of the boards has shown, ynot, netpond, gfy) so i'm just curious whether you have decided to align yourself with anybody who might take down the enemy, or whether you are seeing things as "any new board is a competitor".
It seems to me that logically if i owned a board my goal would be to see the biggest one fall and that would be best achieved by aligning myself with everybody who is not that biggest board... then once the biggest board falls... let the battle begin.
i'm fascinated
i have my board but never had the time to put into it, i think we're going to launch it but focus on the nonadult community because there is less competition there. it's project # 463 on the todo list ;-)

Those are good points Hoop. But remember this industry has a past of working together. It is something that has seperated us from most online business.
GFY has been huge for a long time, but I would make the arguement Oprano has been a better board over the past 2 years. Not only with the content, and regulars but also in revenue.
GFY is a jungle, and it appears it is not getting any better with the creme of their posters moving to PimpBoard and JBM....
Do you think Lensman is worried?
