About four of these seats. Permanent, and the hardest thing here to put a number on.

We are building something worth building and we are willing to spend on it. The culture of this place matters to us more than almost anything else — an adult site with no idea what it stands for is a pile of files with a login — and you are a large part of how that gets settled. So that is what the money is for. Not a word count. The thing you know that most people here do not.

Tell us how. The practical stuff, said plainly. What actually works. What everybody is doing slightly wrong because nobody told them and they were far too embarrassed to ask.

And tell us what not to. “No. Not that, not in there. They put a flared base on things for a reason, and every emergency room in this country has already heard the one about the lamp.”

That post is funnier than anything we could write, more useful than anything else on the site that week, and there is nowhere else you can put it without collecting a strike for your trouble. Here you can actually say it. Use the word. Show the picture. You already know which of your posts got buried, and you already know it was the one that would have helped somebody.

And we want your opinion on us. Who better to tell an adult site where it is getting it wrong than somebody who does this for a living? Say so in the thread, in public. Most places like this are shopping for an endorsement. We would rather be told no, and we will pay for the privilege.

None of this is easy to size, so we are making a bet. $500 to get going: $300 up front when we agree, for the content; the $200 balance after, for the posts. That is the cash and we are not going to dress it up as more than it is.

What comes after is promotion, and a great deal of it. Featured content, front page, the thing we put in front of new arrivals first. We want this to be a cornerstone of the site rather than a corner of it — and if we get that right it is worth considerably more to you than five hundred dollars. You will be a large part of whether we get it right.
