This is his only way forward. The two most important people omygosh needs are members and affiliates. Neither care if he's a newbie or been around 20 years. They want sites that meet THEIR needs and not his start up budget.
omygosh I don't mean this with any malice, but is it true in 2009?

As one of you put it in an IM... this is porn not rocket science. I assumed it was obvious that the bulk of the money for startup would be spend on customer content and then there will be lesser price filler added. Thats nothing earth shattering idea wise.
What it really comes down to is a couple choices... and honestly the choice I go with is completely up to me:
1. Put the project on a shelf until I have a larger budget for custom shoots up front.
2. See if there is a lower cost option that can be worked out to still get quality content on the budget I have now.
For everyone here telling me "its not possible" or "content is expensive for a reason" etc etc there are 6 of you that emailed me looking for details and willing to talk / work something out. I still believe it to be possible to work something out for the lower cost up front for quality work and if I deem it to not be possible then the project will get shelved until I have more funds saved to start up.
I appreciate everyones input and advice, without having a firm grasp of the idea that I have and what im looking for its difficult for you to understand what is possible and I claim that responsibility since im somewhat tight lipped about the idea. Thanks again and for all of those who emailed me, I will respond within the next couple days.
