then I started in this industry June 2002 and actually in same month I registered on GFY, because I saw it linked on another forum ( somone linked a thread with thehun cars )
So I registered here and decided to post while I was still making next to none money in the first 3-4 months.
But my attitude was completely different than people like madawgz or squishypimp nowadays, I wasnt an attention whore and I wasnt seling my sig ( well, if someone told me I could sell it I'd probably have done it though, Im doing it today but the money from it isnt significant to me obviously )
The problem is that its a total anarchy nowadays,. all the newbies who arent even in this industry start making lots of threads about themselves and voicing their opinions on other matters pretending that others should care about it. And they dont have respect to anyone...

What it all comes down to is paying your dues.
If you paid your dues by being on the road as an affiliate manager, shooting content for mortgage money, grinding code for 8 bucks an hour, spending long nights in a server room, etc.. most established people here (successful or not) have paid their dues for this industry in some fashion.
