I'm just back from Amsterdam, there was some interesting debate about tube sites. Different ideas and opinions were exchanged in a respectful manner. Obviously, it's a super hot subject and some are very sensitive about it. But tubes are there, and they won't disappear anytime soon, whatever if you like it or not. I think everybody should try and look at it without personal feelings, and see how you can get some money out of these tubes.

The adult business has always been a step ahead from mainstream, it looks like with the tubes, the adult industry is getting blocked, while YouTube is cutting deals with all the content owners.

Anyway, was great meeting you all in Amsterdam

halfpint · 09-28-2009, 03:16 AM

Well I felt for ICE as I posted on another forum ..the poor guy took a lot of shit for doing his job

What happened to the "data center move" ? Was It a ddos?

SleazyDream · 09-28-2009, 03:36 AM

how many new clients did the tubes get?

Better that it go here than somewhere else, right?

I could use the $100 free advertising that they were offering. Any of us could have. But it's more important to me to keep my ethics in place. It would be a smack in the face to all of the producers who get their content stolen. We have to unite or die and content theft is simply wrong. People who took that $100 sold their soul imo.

Edit: and so did GFY.

JimmiDean · 09-28-2009, 04:16 AM

Sorry man,
I carry a LOT of respect for you, but I am just not buying this one at all.
Taking money for thiefs to stop thiefs seems to be a weak argument.
The fact that is has been posted after the fact makes the argument invalid all together.
However the unbanning was a good move.

shimmy2 · 09-28-2009, 04:16 AM

i must be living under a rock because to this day i've still never visited or a consumer tube site and dont know where to begin, how they operate, and realistically i dont care

That's because you are a noob, and don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. By the way, your entire post was pointless. Nobody gives a shit what you don't know, or what sites you have or haven't been to.

Answer: YES, 100% for the greater good! Our intention was to turn around and take all proceeds that would normally benefit GFY and immediately use them to battle true content theft in as many levels as possible. Additionally, we felt that this was a great opportunity to allow the community to gain awareness and participate in healthy debate. Leaving the choice of support up to the community and not us.

Bullshit!

Healthy debate, use the proceeds to combat content theft

Fucking lying scumbag!

Ice should be written a bonus check equal to or greater than whatever the tubes paid to skin GFY. No matter what else comes of all this, he deserves a lot more than a thank you and a pat on the back.

I don't post here very much, but I have to say this:

Ice, you are full of shit. This is nothing but massive back peddling on a scale never seen before. GFY thought they could run the skin like every other skin they ran, take the dump truck full of money, and call it a day.

You got caught, people are leaving this shithole like crazy, and now you suddenly re-write the back story to try to sound good?

I don't buy the excuses for a minute. I think GFY made a terrible call here. But there's no need to compare them to Politicians.

I'd be curious how many of the people that bitched would turn down a premium pre-paid ad spot from Tube 8. I bet they wouldn't and would justify it to themselves by saying "eh, the surfers already know about this site, I'm not pointing them to anything they don't already know about, so I'll take the money."

Bye!

So wait.. If I decide to run a illegal tube and steal your content to make myself profit, you will see no reason to bitch?

why do I think of this gu when I read this topic?

PornAddict · 09-28-2009, 07:07 AM

I feel sad for you and this explanation. It would have been better if you guys just said, "Yup... we took the money. So fucking what?!?" But coming up with this half ass story is pretty lame.

Just drink the purple Kool-Aid people it will be ok. After all it's the only way to survive.

09-28-2009, 07:18 AM

So Playboy a publicly traded corporation needed 30-40k of blood money ( drop in bucket - they charge 300k+ for one party at Mansion) so they can finance an attack on the content thieves who have been robbing the industry blind?

The GFY staff must have hatched this idea in one of the famous coffeeshops in Amsterdam.

fris · 09-28-2009, 07:21 AM

Question, why not donate the full amount they spent on the skin to charity?

also, if you could do it again would you take the money again?

cykoe6 · 09-28-2009, 07:36 AM

For some reason I am reminded of when OJ asked for help to find the "real" killers.
