Old timers, since you are gone now , why do you keep coming back to ...

[Jace]

dude, do you really think thay I sit all day on oprano waiting for posts?

I post actively on 7 boards, oprano is just in a list of boards that I hit from my bookmarks when I get bored

I never take much seriously on the boards anymore, they are all but useless these days...I enjoy the chatting and banter that the boards bring me on a daily basis, that is IT....I am not here to learn or teach, I am not here to sell myself or be bought...I am here for the entertainment when I am not busy working

some of you all think you have everyone figured out, when you really have no clue

I love Gonzo, he is a dear friend and I will do everything to support him, but Oprano is just like the 7 other boards I have bookmarked, a place to stop, type and move on

holy jesus fucking christ. really? you are now quoting my sentiments about message boards verbatim?

but ... but... but... i thought you were here to learn. thats what you said sooooooo many times. now you are quoting me. you said you wanted to learn. you wanted a positive, constructive environment yada yada yada... now you're here for "entertainment".

thanks for proving my point for me AGAIN. you, joe, rhetorical and the others are EXACTLY those people you claim you don't want here. the only difference is that you don't have to fear the fact that you guys are constantly saying mind numbingly stupid shit anymore... and no one will call you on it.

isn't it possible to be somewhere for one reason and learn in the process?

sorry if I don't get all my thoughts out at the same time for you to dissect, if you would like me to write a big long dramtic post about how I feel about the boards I will, but I really don't feel like it

personally, i dont care why anyone is here. everyone has their own reasons and thats fine with me. but it USED to be a community of people who knew each other well, did business together and were friends in the real world. it was also entertainment as you said. but you were one of the ones bitching and complaining that you wanted something different... now you are saying you want it to be what it used to be.

see, that is where I am confused...you DO care about everyone here, otherwise you wouldn't take so much time every day on here to tell everyone your thoughts

whether you care is hate or love, you do care, and THAT is obvious

no... i was here well before there was an oprano. i care a little about what used to be here and what it was because it was a part of my life and there was a community of friends who had all made significant achievements in this biz.

right now, i am just bored. since i have only a few thousand posts since this board began, i don't think the argument holds that i care much at all. like you said, i agree fully and have said again and again.... messageboards are a diversion and distraction... nothing more. i am posting between uploading sites to my server... and doing so out of boredom.

Ok I've stayed away and out of all this for the most part but I have to ask

Aren't you here to promote your business and get new affiliates?

Isn't that what messageboards are for program owners?

oh yeah, totally, but the amount of new affiliates I have gained from the boards in the past 3-4 months that I have actually sent me quality traffic is disturbing....yeah, people sign up left and right and from every board, but my active webmasters are the ones that have been around for longer than that

2 years ago I used to get tons of affiliate sign ups on the boards, and you could see traffic flow in instantly and sales followed that...but lately, as of the past 4-6 months, the quality of posters and active affiliates across all boards has dramtically decreased....so, i gave up on seeking out affiliates on boards, I go to the source these days.

Jace, you say one thing then take another position, not a huge flip but you see what I mean

This is where the experience of the posters who used to be here comes in handy.

I'm still not over Jace basically flipping off Robin in another thread when Robin has a serious head full of knowledge.

No one's asking anyone to kiss anyone's ring but a little respect goes a long way ... and respect has to be earned. Just like a the privilege to post on Oprano had to be earned


Oprano was sort of a water cooler where we could come and discuss whatever and by building those relationships we did business. We knew who were we working with and what we could do

when have I said anything different...I may say things in a wierd way sometimes when my fingers can't keep up with my head...but this has been the way I have thought for months now

I am sorry, I don't know Robin and the first time he spoke to me was to put me down, and you want ME to respect HIM? LOL...yeah, right
