We both know that people who made tons of money either:
- still are, but are silent about it
- still are, but don't post, but have others post for them
- out of it, retiring on it, spending it and reinvesting the capital so they can maintain it
- still are, and keep coming out with new products or "version 20" or whatever
- aren't likely to come around and post how they did it, how a newbie can increase it, etc.
The beer money webmasters are still the posters. Not saying everyone who posts is only making beer money, saying though all of those webmasters do post and are the great majority of the posters (talking about across the dozens of boards).

No I think it has been taken to extremis to be honest.
There always was the guys just killing time etc etc
But in all honesty nowadays I feel there is no point in posting things I know will make money or improve the money someone makes.
For example you criticise Zeinna site and she gets all cunty...
She does not realise that she has had a wealth of experience in various fields giving her blunt advice....she takes it as everyone is "dissing" her rather than accepting it as a hard time lacking short but sweet criticism.
In all seriousness if she had handled the situation well , argued her way out of it...had a better attitude and basically impressed when she had the opportunity ,I'd have more confidence in sending traffic to her.
And I think she would have got way more traffic impressing 5 readers of this board than having her hand patted and being told "don't listen to the nasty men" on another board....
Its a change in peoples attitude over the years.
I think ...in fact I know... a lot of old school players read this board...
However they don't want to chime in on business because:
a.) no fucker listens..
b.) they will get in a moronic piss with someone without a clue
c.) there comments will be lost in the 100 "great programs" , "Awesome" "congratulation" posts...
As for the advertising they see here...
They come to Oprano because it is the old school board...no spin..
If a sponsor comes on and argues there cash explains why there program is better than an other...states mailer contact us for deal...etc etc
Some might sign up for programs that advertise here...but honestly...most are not gonna be persuaded to sign up for an Ipod , nor are they gonna want bimbettelucy of wankercash as their affiliate rep LOL.
For myself I would be more tempted to signup for a program that seemed professional and smart and on the ball...
A lot of what makes me decide where to send traffic is on what they don't say...the parties they don't throw...etc etc...weird?
Maybe I am.. LOL
But seriously treating Oprano as GFY from a sponsors point of view will never yield the rewards here.
I think it takes a different approach to land an old school whale....
Sorry in a thoughtful mode tonight..
