What are they doing in mainstream? What are they selling? Are they operating mainstream affiliate programs?

Why do "new timers" get upset when "old timers" think they are elite? Let them feel good...it's nice to be kind to old people.. :winkwink:

And this is what truly matter :thumbsup

Those are true words.:winkwink:..:thumbsup

Some folks may feel elite - who cares? But doubt it is generally a feeling of being elite.

There are "old timers" who literally made this industry - some are well-known, others not generally known. They fought court battles and struggles before the net was a gleam in Tim Lee's eye. They initiated the concept of adult stores, around which a whole industry developed - from manufacturing in Asia, video production to print media. They all ran "real world" businesses and employed many people - and a fair number of these business are now quoted on various stock exchanges, tho probably more are still privately owned.

The internet is simply another 'store front' for the adult industry and started about a decade ago. It's hard to compare people who have been managing companies in the adult industry for, sometimes 40 years or more and who have went thru various legal battles - and survived.

When the net is only around 10 years old, it's hard to see there are any "old timers" in the online adult industry apart from those who existed prior to that time.

If anything, there is a blatant difference in the way business is done. There are plenty good "noobs" (we are all "noobs" when it comes to the net) with a clue, but far more clearly lack any business accumen and who would have no hope in hell of either raising finance or running a bricks and mortar business.

Maybe that is the difference between the "elite" and "non elite"?? :)

Holy shit, posts from you these days are as rare as getting hit by lightning.


:D

i still want to get the fucker who installed a dailer on my pc when i was 12 years old and charged me $2 a minuite to access it. i had no idea what i was doing and I got in trouble coz of a huge bill.

whoever that old timer was im gonna kick him in the balls. Lets see if he feels "elite" then

That's not an "old timer" Scotty - that is a crook :thumbsup

Where there is possible abuse, you can always trust human scum to step in, cause problems and be the cause of legislation.

With age comes wisdom.

You're only elite when you wipe you ass with $100 bills.

Precisely :thumbsup

Old-timers know and understand patience and momentum. Youngsters tend to get frustrated if they're not rolling in green within the first 72 hours.

I could not have said it better......

because they have an experience...

Because old is the new young.

Hey you're not supposed to make sense in public....:321GFY

What many n00bs fail to realize is that when some of us started we did not even have forums like this with which we could consult with others, get tips or conduct business. As someone mentioned above, scanning the counters was how you found the goldmines.

Elite? Perhaps not. Survivor? Unquestionably.

haha look at all the idiots posting in this thread

then we have the oldbies :)

Respect the experience!
:thumbsup

I'm bored
