over the years i've been involved with 3 attempts to create an adult webmaster association. lawyers were spoken to - as were health insurance providers and webmasters. plans were made, but in the end, none of the webmasters who seemed to be for it were willing to contribute any time or money. most were shocked if we suggested that a $25 a month membership would even be suggested - or even as little as $200 a year plus paying for insurance under a group plan. without any funding except from a few people, it died each time.

not surprising that most people didn't bother to join the fsc till they thought it would protect them. most webmasters are people without a business background who don't seem to understand that if we all pay for things that we all have a voice in, that it can improve everything about the industry. we can hire lawyers to answer our questions, get bulk discounts for a lot of things, even grow big enough to afford a press agent or lobbyist or whatever it is we feel would help. getting group insurance rates alone would have been helpful.

the sad part is last time everyone was asked for a whopping $25 per person to help get the ball rolling. my $25 was returned after several months when less than 20 of the hundreds of webmasters who said they were for it contributed that $25
