Like the newer crowd. Not saying the total noob's who are clueless, but newer ones who have been around a few years. Like anyone who has been around from 99 and on seem to not be accepted by the old school people.
Is it that they are afraid of change, or maybe it's ego, or just the respect your elders deal. I am unsure what it is, I can't totally pin point it. I could honestly care less, but I do find it funny how most of them come across. There are some smart people out there that may not have the stripes that older crowd has, but they have the desire to get ahead. I have found with some of the old school people they have fallen into a routine and gotten sloppy which makes it easier to make money off them. I don't mind, I am just curious as to what brings this ego/aura on.

I think this is an over exageration. There are some people who have come in since 1999 that I think have done well, and are credits to the industry.
But most are fuckups.... of course I am the type of guy who does not cockholsters, and there are none bigger, and more numerous then in the old school crowd. It is generally accepted a certain % of all groups are going to be cockholsters. Ask Colin, he can probably give you specific numbers and explainations on why.

Old-timers form an in-group, just like TGP webmasters do, or Oprano poster, or GFY poster. Even notice when someone new comes to the board
and attacks a long-time poster how everyone defends the long-time poster? Even people who are traditionally on opposite sides of every debate will defend each other against a newcomer. We ain't nothin' but mammals.

The opposite is true too. A lot of "newer" webmasters have formed an anti-old-timer bias and think of them as set in their ways and unable to innovate. We've all seen such comments on the boards. It's a typical attack newbies try on Serge at GFY for example.

GFY also has this vybe that you get ahead by being an outcast. If you are a smart ass of can piss with someone big there then you are a somebody, but at the end of the day if your most profitable thing each month is what TCG pays you for your sig then you are by far not someone who I consider "Industry"

 You've brought up an issue that interests me greatly. I've often wondered at this myself, and here's my li'l ole two cents: The industry is experiencing palpable change...I can feel it, can't you? If the change is for the better or worse will depend on the shoes you're standing in... Personally, I think the industry is honing itself... Chances are, some of these guys have been around since early to mid nineties probably started out on a home pc and throwing up a page with any old thing and making money... There's NOTHING wrong with that, but those days are over. I think that some of the guys that have been in the industry for a long time can REALLY feel it in these areas: 1) what in the hell are so many women doing in the business? :angry: 2) whose that young punk on MY red carpet?? That's MY special treatment!  3) What in the hell is 2257 and all the other legal shiznit that I now have to add to my site?  4) What in the hell are all these other porn sites doing out there??  What do you think? |

There was a wave of "legalization" in 1996 or so that was much greater than anything going on today. Scanned pics, stolen content, and so forth. Much of the issue was then that newcomers would have to be educated as to what was legal, more than the other way around. Newbie chatboards popped up under this assumption. "All these other porn sites"? Again, that was a real issue about 1998-1999. Been there, done that. The explosion started a long time ago. Women in the business? I haven't noticed a disproportionate change. There were plenty of great, smart women in the business back "in the day" and there still are today. Angry? I don't know a single person who even considers it an issue. Maybe you do. Not sure about the red carpet. Not many punks on red carpets. Last edited by Colin at Mar 3 2004, 09:24 AM

Webmasters are competitive and egotistical about their successful sites.... and there's a lot more of them. Rather than expect the red carpet, I think some of the old schoolers will eventually vie for the red carpet, and already see new webmasters as contenders.
