However, there are a few people that may jump on this, although most of them will require that you set everything on your side and they will add your sites to their network, basically providing traffic and contacts.
And I know a design and marketing company that develops adult networks, but we're looking to have them work for us and there's a waiting line, so sorry, no names

...they will always be the norm no matter the forum.
Most of the established guys will not work with/for you because they want insane monthly/upfront and will refuse to be paid on performance. They will promise you the moon, but few will let their pay be set based on their
promises. Keep in mind, this is a business.
You will also have a lot of hungry people with NO SKILLS who will contact you and beg you for a shot. These will also be counter productive as few seem to know about traffic 101, much less all the rest that goes into running a website.
What you are looking for here is a needle in a stack of needles. Most people with the skills you need are doing it for themselves, and do not want to work for others for 50% of the pie. Others who want to do it, but have nothing on what you need.
In the end you need someone who is either vested, i.e. they bring some money AND skills to the table or the second option is.... you really need to find someone who is interested in what you do or wants to do what you do, and is a borderline fan with some skills. They are hard to find, but that is what you need.
Otherwise, you are essentially ransoming off your company for
promises, or a partner who does not carry their end more times then not. Which is a bad deal. I have only come across a 'possible' perfect match twice, and I have been looking for years.
Good luck. You'll need it.
