Helping people is all well and good. Does that make someone influential on an industry level? I'd say no, many of the best affiliate reps out there help dozens of people every day.

Now candidly, back in the day, is there any innovation we credit to YnotBob? He basically picked up where Dokk left off in many cases. Dokk stuck with Ron, Bob landed with Ynot after the whole exodus followed by Rick selling to Andy Edmonds and then that falling apart. YnotRadio came along following Albumside when radio was all the rage.

How many people listen to ANY radio show now? What's a big crowd these days? 10? 15?

And Ynot itself? Well, that's one of, if not THE, original adult board brand, did it's numbers go up or down on Bob's watch? I have no true visibility to that, I only know what I observe from the outside.

Anytime you take someone who is a "business owner" of any type in this biz and then you hear they're taking something like a "marketing" or "affiliate rep" or similar low level position with another program, it's pretty obvious what is happening. Business owners dont do that just because they're bored. You do it because you've suddenly become a squirrel trying to find your nut.

All tha tsaid, I have nothing against Bob, dont really know him. That's the bad part of a thread like this....you probably inadvertently step on some toes.

Dan from CamZ once called YnotBob an Icon of the porn business. That was just before he banned me from his board for pointing out Bob's blatant spam. No offense to Bob, but it was the death knell of Amateurmasters.

You really are the center of your own little universe, aren't you?
