we're left with a much smaller potential market and there are far too many programs and DVD studios to support the market.
this time next year there will be half the webmasters there are now and many of the remaining will do so only because they don't have an alternative.

There are thousands of independents, mom and pops, small to medium production companies that make up 'the industry'. A lot more than are visibly represented on ANY of the boards. This one included.
The BROS are what? Maybe 100 big companies if that?

And something boards should think about. Running a board that caters too much to advertisers loses people they need, the posters and readers.
