I am a technical person with a knack for research and marketing. I have never been into content from anything other than a promotional standpoint. I think thats why once i started getting jaded it snowballed fast. that and the mainstream ventures i entered went from solid to very good, and i did not need to be involved in an industry of which it was getting hard to see my friends and for what its worth, the good of the whole thing. I remember the first convention i went to after my hands were out of the pot, so to speak. it was odd looking at it from the outside. I think those of us who have gone mainstream and remained in adult at the same time don't notice it as much because they have to deal with it every day. But i have heard some of the best minds in adult voice their frustration with the adult business, the new blood, the hundred dollar millionaires, the big talkers, the extre, for me tendencies for shock value, and the big talkers. Once you take both feet out of the pond, you can see the scum from the good water, for sure
Thats what i like about this board, good people. I think it says something that people who are out of adult still like to come back here for the conversation, banter, and to stay in touch with people they have known for what seems like ages. At least it does for me. I have no financial reason to be here, i just like the company
