I have been at this since 1998 and things were much different then, much BETTER.
These suppossed "old timers" YOU are refering to are actual noobs in my eyes and are the ones that started trashing our house. And from what I have seen the newbies of today aren't or haven't exactly been a boon or a godsend to the industry. The only thing they seem to succeed in doing is finding inventive new ways to scam the surfer or the content producers all the while attacking each other at will on message boards or the like. Not all the noobs but alot of them.
And as far as what ground work? Wake the fuck up... The old timers who champion our cause that allow us to do this for a living. For the people who started allowing us to process our businesses online through them and catered to our needs. All the old timers who set the bar or were willing to show what works and what doesn't, ie. experience.
There is not a single successful noob that didn't get help or advice from at least one old timer or someone else who did. I don't care how smart you are, you don't just say one day, "Hey, I think I will work in the Adult Internet Arena." And become a success without asking questions or reading a book that an "old timer" offered.

Ok.. maybe i did go a little overboard by generalizing all old-timers.. but at least, I still stated that a few of them were good.
Overall, whether you like to admit it or not.. The people that layed the foundation didnt do a good job of protecting the future of the industry. They were all just grabbing what they could get.. Call it new found riches, they were young OR watever... But the milk is spilt.. No need to cry.
All im saying is that, those that made so much money in the beginning could have regulated the industry & directed it differently.. In this world, its mostly monkey see & monkey do. New people entering the industry would have simply followed them,.. just as they have followed the paysite-selling-model that we still use today.
Anyways.. Argue responsibly.. No need to call people names cos u disagree

Goodluck with ur biz... And no disrespect to all the oldtimers.. Just my own drop of opinion.
