that's what's killing this more than visa...there will always be alternative billing solutions - where there's a demand...a supply will be provided. It's the idiots slinging galleries for 50 bucks a day so they can brag they sell porn and sponsors dealing with razor thin margins to keep those puppies happy that are flushing it all down the toilet...

free hosted galleries, free hosting, free content, free blah blah blah - free this, free that...

kill all of them...disembowel them publicly at the convention and I consider it worth attending.

best of luck -

agreed.

there's a certain sponsor currently who must be having a competition with a few other programs to see who can give the most free pics to webmasters ... it looks like around 30 new galleries every week are being added ... that adds up to several hundred if not more pics ...

why give away so much of what you are trying to sell?

why are there still companies giving away content at all, let alone in such a huge quantity and then expecting someone to pay $30 a month for it plus a bit more?!

i don't see the point currently in investing a heap of money or time into an industry where the profit margins are becoming less than they are in most industries - when the reality is most of us got into this biz for the money anyway, not because we are proud that we sell smutty sex to desperate wankers ...

although i still have porn paysites and will until visa hammers the final nail, i've done a full turn about and am back to doing what I started with 6 years ago, quality online magazines with a reasonable monthly rate - and not 'porn'. no more $30 40 or 50 a month sites, no more $30+ payouts to webmasters etc ... someone else can spend the money, and i'll watch & learn from their mistakes, because guaranteed EVERYBODY IS MAKING THEM RIGHT NOW BECAUSE NOBODY KNOWS DICK ABOUT DICK NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY!!!!

The sooner boards like gfy with 'beer money' webmasters go bye bye, the sooner the biz can get on with fixing itself ... but until that happens, sit back with some popcorn & prepare to be amazed at how moronic & amusing some people will behave as their future, livelihood, dreams & egos come crashing before their eyes!!!!!!

*evil laugh*

i cant vait for zat vun!


sorry folks, saturday afternoon & i'm waiting for a load of washing to finish
