For me IT was a lot more profitable. Biggest mistake I ever made was having a hard time accepting people would pay for what several of us were extracting for shits and grins out of the newsgroups.
Homegrown BBS and Wild Rose Net were the big shits of the day making money on dialup and translating it to the web. As far as I know they have both kept on keeping on.

Personally I only do this for money. For shits and giggles, I travel. If you stay focussed on the profit, fun happens. This is a great business and is very profitable. I have been doing it longer than most here and have been through the web board mill as you know. I have to say, the topic of this thread is right on the money. Business happens between friends. The less you pitch it, the more actually happens. If I have to hear Joe Shoe pitch it one more time, you can gag me with a spoon. This place just aint a lot of fun anymore and you cant force folks to have fun. And btw, just to let you know and trust me there is no rancour intended, just passing it on to you, this board is down an awful lot and many times loads really slowly. I have no idea why and I only say this with the best of intentions so you can look into it.
