The adult webmaster community does most of its business online. Separated by thousands of miles, often ashamed of what others might think, and frequently with the kind of looks best suited to email, the internet provides jizz-bizz geeks with a seemingly endless array of places to meet.
In all the years I’ve worked with internet porn I’ve stayed clear of adult webmaster message boards. They combine a Dungeons and Dragons like love of arcane rules, a Trekkies passion from meaningless jargon and the kind of social violence only people who never got picked for team sports are interested in. I regret to inform you that in recent weeks I’ve been sucked in. Not by witty repartee - there is none - but by the need to talk to the kind of people who know what a DVDA is without hitting Google (hint - it’s not the DVD Association). It’s been an eye-opener. Every board I’ve seen is dominated by a handful of obsessive posters who issue Papal bulls on everything from current affairs to lubricant (when current affairs are lubricant - happy day).
The big posters fall into two groups. Representatives of commercial interests pimping their products who tend to know their beans and lie mostly by omission, and nameless web jockeys who claim to run websites.
The web jockeys are the problem. Watching ‘Hackers‘ till you have to stop and masturbate, daily, does not an internet expert make. Unfortunately the boards give the opposite impression. The more time you spend messaging there the more respect other board members give you and the less time you have to do the stuff you claim to be expert in. Hence conversations lead by people who’d be rejected as unqualified by Jay and Silent Bob.
The level of misinformation, bad advice and pointless debating is staggering. The sad thing being the number of newbies who find the boards early in their development and believe they hold the key to success.
They don’t.
I’ve been stopped from entering conversations on boards because I wasn’t considered qualified to speak, even though the threads I wanted to join were about me.
If you’re a adult message board devotee do yourself a favor and make sure you pull out occasionally for long enough to get something done. When it comes to seeking advice I’d suggest posting questions to multiple boards. At least that way you stand a fair chance of hearing opinions which might not be in favor at your chosen hangout.
Learning what works and what doesn’t can’t be done while reading a thread on the merits of ‘My daughter’s fucking a nigger black dude’ which turns into a debate about O.J. Simpson.
Talking shops manufacture nothing but talk.
I used to be a regular on the adult boards and I know what you’re talking about.
Ummm. I’m gonna pretend that’s just CGI. Can’t say that’s me, my addiction is DVD message boards. My collection had jumped by bounds from it. Sales, store exclusives and the like. So, this world you speak of is foreign to me. Oh yeah, “Shaka, when the walls fell!”
Vixen - kudos.
JohnIan - the boards work to sell you stuff. Interesting. Do personal recommendations from fellow enthusiasts mean more than reviews?
Well. Depends.
But first my original post. No. It’s just on sales. Where to find them at the best prices. Who has such and such exclusive. Today I received “Ultimate Flint Collection” from D3. Bought it for $11.71 with free shipping. Most outstanding. It seems every place I was looking for it on release date (and still not) didn’t have it. Their answer was that it’s on back ordered. Huh? It’s release date, how can it be on back order? I went in at noon. More so, Wal-mart is not selling it (website) - which is odd. My investigation has come into a conflict. The retail price should be twenty bucks, but I run into places which say it’s thirty (three disc set). Perhaps there was a recall on it. Such as what they did on “Bill & Ted’s Most Excellent Collection” (there was a mock 1-800 number on the top of the box, it lead to real 1-800 sex line).
Ok. Yes, I do. Fellow enthusiasts tend to be more in synch with my tastes. I feel that many professional reviewers tend to be jaded (present company excluded). I like popcorn flicks. Good fun. But I don’t watch them exclusively, I have other likes. But I suppose if a reviewer had a dozen of them in a row. You tend to give them poorer comments (getting sick of it). Candy is good. But having it everyday isn’t. The people who post their personal reviews are somewhat like me, fans. We haven’t gotten to that point, I hope I never do.
JohnIan - I get it. You’re right. Reviewers are a jaded bunch who talk in acronyms about people they know.
I’m not them though. Reviews to follow shortly.
Sam.
