We had so many things going we just didn't have the time to execute all our ideas.
Another big reason is because of the breakdown of our staff. We were heavy on employees but very very slim on programming/technical staff. That really hurt and slowed us down. So we it came down to making a choice should we have our technical resources spend their time on revamping our backend and preparing it for future growth and enhancements or should we try this new tour thing.

Similar situation as Eva and I. We were up to our eyes in shooting magazine sets.

Twistys was always a site that was powered by the members and their devotion to the site so it was obvious that improving the members area trumped trying a new tour.

We agree on this. Is there is a solution to the mess we created it's inside the members area with the dead horse.
Unless someone comes up with a way to find millions of new surfers who don't want free or a method to drive traffic that doesn't involve the cost and giving the product away. And that's been beyond us for 12 years.

Have you seen what LiveGonzo.com is doing? I think they are really close to something awesome. The key is getting everyone interested and willing to play together.

No but will have a look. Someone has to cross the fence of costs.
If $500 a day for a model is too much, pay her less. She's got to do it to get the good paying days. Or sit at home on her ass.
$500 = 100 joins a day extra. By the time affiliates and other costs are paid, that leaves too little IMO. Maybe 300 a day, 9,000 a month.
So instead of giving up on the idea, people have to figure out
how to make it work. Private shows for the girls, tips, selling other products like live phone sex. The solution belongs to the winner.
