That all sucks Dave. It is reminiscent of my experience working with SBR. Your situation is certainly more galling since you actually made such a tangible commitment to them. But just the general lack of focus and communication.

That was my big thing - the poor communication. It was a brand new forum and I was a brand new mod and I just wanted some basic information about what the vision was. I would start threads in the mod forum practically begging for any kind of guidelines. What are our standards for racism? Language? General idiots? Are we looking for a more mature, business-like forum than Covers or anything goes?

The answer was always some vague version of, "You are doing great."

So I did the only thing I could do. Start guessing. Before the forum, SBR was considered to have some integrity and class - so I thought I'd moderate the forum in that direction. But then lo and behold, there would be John out on the forum second-guessing my moves. Sometimes it felt like back-stabbing. So I'd go back to the mod forum saying, "Okay so I think I got some hint of our vision from that. Can you expand on that in plain words?"

Bill would chime in with a, "You are doing great." John might or might not reply at all. He was not much better at replying to PM's.

There was more to it than just that but in a nutshell, it was just too stupid. I run a business and I'm not accepting of being a doormat. I quit.

Sorry, don't mean to make this thread about me but you brought back some memories.

Wow, yeah, all of this sounds VERY familiar...

Hazy/unclear instructions...
John publicly undermining you...
Blindly guessing what you are supposed to be doing...
Doormat treatment...

Fun stuff.
 
Mex! Howdy buddy.
 
Dave, what do you like on your pizza?
 
Dave, what do you like on your pizza?


he likes a pound of hamburger, bacon, and an extra pizza on top of it...

Dave did you ever make that crazy bacon cheeseburger pizza recipe you posted last year?
 
Dave

Do you like movies about gladiators?
 
Dave, what do you like on your pizza?

Depends on the mood. I don't complain about most toppings, but I'm usually content with just pepperoni and sprinkling on a generous amount of Romano.
 
what about gladiator themed interracial porn?

Nah, I never did. Even at my worst "Fuck the world" stage, I could never quite let myself go THAT badly.
 
Blondes, brunettes, or redheads, Dave?
 
Dave

Has anyone from SBR contacted you and asked you to stop posting about their business? If they have ignore them since they treated you like shit. :thumbup:
 
Dave

I think I've only seen "Gladiator" in that field, and enjoyed it.

what about gladiator themed interracial porn?

Can't say that I've seen any, but I'm not one to discriminate against the backstory/theme of my porn. I just hope that Carmela Bing or Velicity Von are involved.
 
Blondes, brunettes, or redheads, Dave?

I don't discriminate. But generally, brunettes.

I'm not one of these redhead-haters. Give me that sassy Rachel Nichols anyday!

Nope, not yet. I doubt they will. It isn't like I know anything of great importance, and they could always claim I'm just a disgruntled employee making shit up anyway.

Since my girl doesn't read this board, I can say I would leave her for Rachel Nichols.
