If I could have made it worthwhile on the content alone I would have done it. The problem is there were too many promo shoots. Girls holding up a board etc. That killed the deal when I saw the content.

I was a huge fan of the idea. I think it is a great idea. Unfortunately it never took off. I think it needed to be packaged with a site like Twistys for it to take off. The cost of running a site like that is really high and you getting it going is really tough. You are immediately judged by how much content you have. And when a site like Twistys has so much more content of each model you are done. It would have been a nice addition. At the end of the day it would have been cheaper and wiser to simply start the idea ourselves.
