I have to totally agree with you both here,

When you do put in the time and effort and cash to do something yourself
and everyone looks at you like your a total loon, when all your trying to do
is bring something new to the playing table.

Gets a little frustrating and you sooner or later just say fuck it and move on.

Its really sad the way things have happened in this industry.
People complain about new and improved and not the same cookie cutter sites and tools but the minute someone comes up with something worthwhile or innovative
they then bitch about that as well.

By the way Stocktrader, We have slacked a bit on the tools, we used to be very good at developing some of the first and state of the art tools in the business ( jaymancash side ) then I noticed that over the last 2 years noone was using them I would spend hours and hours and lots of cash developing brand new tools for affiliates to use only to end up with noone using them. I would offer to affiliates to build or develop something for them to use just contact me and let me know what you need.. Guess what? NO ONE would contact me for ANYTHING. So yes we have fallen a little behind on ad tools for affiliates to use. But again I offer my services to any affiliate out here that needs something to promote our sites with Tell me what you want or need or would like to use and I'll do my best to get it for you.

People have gotten lazy and honestly You cant hardly even give away free work to them anymore..

Lets look back a little
It started with affiliates having to buy content themselves and build sites themselves to promote with.
It then moved into sponsors building the galleries for the affiliate.
Then to sponsors even submitting the galleries on the behalf of the affiliate.
Giving the affiliate free domains, paying the bandwidth for them, so now the affiliate doesn't build galleries and they don't submit galleries and they don't even pay for bandwidth this definatly lead to the LAZY webmaster...
I think the biggest downfall for this industry was the ability to download a site and re upload it to your domain. basically I call it the copy : paste syndrome .. LOL

Now we are hear today the hardest of times in Adult and where are those affiliates? Thats my question... What happened to them all?

Most have found other means of making money because once the sponsors started doing everything for everyone the affiliate market was flooded with every tom dick and harry that could sign up to a program. It no longer took SKILL to be a ( so called webmaster ).

I think that is one of the biggest issues here... Where are the SKILLED webmasters. are there really any still around? are they still in adult?
