said it before... will say it again.. hopefully, this time you will finally get it. your "new world" is the same world that has existed since 1994. it's the same one that is changing daily and has since the www happened. the difference in what we are saying is that you haven't seen it. you haven't been there. you are still trying to learn how it all works. I will help you a little and break it down for you.... traffic is still traffic, content is still content, affiliate programs are still affiliate programs, value is still value, a sale is still a sale, PPC is still PPC, rev share is still rev share, tgp's are still tgp's, galleries are still galleries, search engines are still search engines, link trades are still link trades and the list can go on and on and on.

you just can't seem to accept that there is no "new world" out there. its the same one, with the same long history of constant change and adaptation... where the basic laws and where the fundamentals have always applied and are always relevant.

a rocket STILL couldn't be sent into space without applying and utilizing the fundamentals of newtonian physics which came hundreds of years before. you have only noticed the nature of constant change of this business and started viewing yourself as a pioneer because you think you are on the cutting edge. you're not. you're way behind the curve and you have a long way to go. you believe you are building a rocket with all the best equipment in the world and latest technology... unfortuneately, you will have to watch it crash and burn again and again until you realize how important the timeless, fundamental principles are and that they are necessary and always applicable.

just because The Hun doesn't know how to use a blog or even have one... doesn't mean he doesn't have a shitload of knowledge and experience that everyone could learn from. according to your arguments he doesn't... becuase he is just a dinosaur. anyway... listen or talk. thats your choice. you are setting yourself up for failure, not me.

i can agree with you in that its not necessary for everyone to be assholes. but your arguements that the internet is somehow new and different and that the business is totally different is nothing more than absurd commentary from a silly newbie who hasn't been there, hasn't done it and most likely never will.

1994 was not a landmark for anything. Business is business. It has a life of its own and the internet is just a recent manifestation and a new medium. The principles are the same as they were in 1949. You never had an insight into anything special. If you even think 1994 was something special, you have tipped your hand.
What you guys fail to realize, is that you never invented anything. If you had to start today, you would be in the same boat as all the folks you shit on from a great height because you got lucky. Most of the shit that you guys did is now illegal. There is a huge difference between devious and smart. It has become quite obvious on this board of late. The only way you can survive on this board is sabotaging posts, intimidation by posting personal information and scaring off a lot of folks who actually are honest and do know how to do business. What you believe or do not believe is irrelevant. That was then and this is now. Whenwe stories from the nineties are like listening to grandpa telling stories about the war. Great conversation in the legion but that is where it ends. There is no more war. There are no more war stories. There is only honest business for those who want to survive. Fuck this surfmaster shit. There is no such thing.
