2008: Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
I think 2008 will go down as the worst year, not just for this business, for the world in general. Feel free to list reasons why it sucked in this thread (or why you loved it)!
On the flip, 2009, isn't looking like it is off to a good start.  |

My no more funerals rule was broken severely... 2007 and 2008 go down as record bad years, few highlights here and there, but mostly shite.

Get Bush, the economy, the mortgage crisis, the shitty dollar, low joins, stolen content, lame GFY trolls, (add your own here)... etc..
Get the FUCK out of my 2009.

It certainly wasn't great. I think it's safe to say that anyway.
Will 2009 be any better though ? I sure hope so. But not so sure...

It could be worse, but it certainly wasn't a great year in any respect. I'm glad Obama was voted in, but that was more a judgement on Bush's administration than much else. My cooking skills improved and um... that's about the only really good thing about 2008 that I can think of.

im sorry to hear so many had bad experiences in 2008. It was a decent year for me.
I think 2009 shows plenty of promise, in truth. In life as with everything else being versatile and adapting to the climate, ensuring your businesses continue to offer value, and grow over time is what is key. Work hard and even tough times can be bearable. Jay i know you bust your balls working, so 2009 won't be a disaster for you will it mate? ;) |

Although the numbers were not that bad - 2007 and 2008 were the worst years for me personally.

2008 was a bad year for sure. Not just for the adult industry though. Alot of people took a big loss this year. Just be thankful you still have a nice roof over your head while alot of other people now live in poverty.

2008 had its rough spots, but overall, it was one unbelievable year. I grew as a mother, wife, and business woman. I made several of my "lifetime dreams" come true. If 2009 is anything like 2008, bring it on baby, it's gonna be fun

08 was a bummer year, but all around alright. No close friends or family died, I managed not to get arrested, and I made more money online then I spent.
08 made 07 look bad and 07 was pretty good too. 09 is just another 365 to do things right, or wrong then right. Either way, I'm just happy to be here, you know?

2008 blew! lost alot of money in real estate and sales sucked. my mainstream stuff saved my ass which has never happend before. it was always adult before. or I should say this was the least I made in adult in 12 years
I hope the industry realizes we need to clean up our mess. which to me is all the free hardcore online |

Tubes are not going to go away. The bandwidth prices keep going down which means tubes sites can give more away and 2009 will be even worse.

I won't miss 2008 that's for sure. A few highlights but was mostly the suck. 2006/2007 was better.

2008 was bad, but 2009 will bankrupt us. Throwing trillions of dollars at companies while at the same time preparing for those company to go into chapter 11, meaning we won't see those dollars back, EVER, is just plain stupidity.

2009 looks to be worse than 2008.. lower revenue month over month this year, lower joins, lower rebills...
