I have to think from speaking with Danny several years ago and my personal experience is that you both probably have a lot in common.
And I have to laugh when you say theres no business here when the board brings me more than I can handle from day to day.
Get out of the box buddy!
You guys got more biz sense than swapping licks 3 stooges style.
This biz is opening wide to swallow those that dont evolve. Its being felt from the top to the bottom.
If you doubt me look at Playboy's stock and its pitiful earnings. Heres one of the worlds MOST valuable, branded and prestigious libraries of content and these motherfuckers cant figure out how to sell it.
They didnt have a clue in the 80s when they met with BBS operators with this nifty 1-800 BBS for all you can eat all the while they wanted to hold back the better content for an upsell for the print magazine.
Talk about having the crown jewels in your hand and jacking off with it instead. They were POISED for the internet and yet they squandered it.
Dig in and make your place. Your in a position to call your own shots. You have a perspective on this industry that very very few have. Youve been content, your married to a star and you have some tech background that shows you understand.

In all honesty I could care less, like I told you the other night I am limiting myself to a only a few things in adult these days, and focusing my energies on only those thing, and the rest is dedicated to mainstream
rhetorical is just another guy on another forum, in other words he doesn't even enter my thoughts after I navigate from thread he is in, hell, the only time I have mentioned him off of oprano was talking to you the other day on icq, and that was a single line and it was done haha
the board might bring YOU more business, but that is because it is a board that is targeting business your way. I bet if you ask the other regulars here what business they have claimed from being a member of Oprano they wouldn't have much to tell you. From an end user stand point I really think you need to take a step back and think about whether you want a board that is going to make only you profitable or make all it's members profitable, and from there I think the other things people are saying will make more sense.
You have to have some order and sanity around here, otherwise people won't ever take it seriously...and there can be a nice mix of insanity and business, but right now there isn't the latter due to too much of the former
