Shane's World needs your help
 

Okay guys. We've been off the map for a couple of years. Long story. We are back and we want to check our temperature so to speak. What is your true opinion of us now?

Don't worry, we have thick skin. We just want to know where we're at (if anywhere) and with that we can figure out where we need to be. Thanks.

porn is dead.

I think you guys need to take some time to relaunch and let everyone know.

Find 12 of the hottest girls on earth. Line them up and bend them over. Pour baby oil all over their asses and let ONE dude with a 10 inch dick fuck them. Make all 12 girls suck him off and tell them to act like its a hot dog and they haven't eaten for a week. Make them scratch claw and fight for the man gravy. Shoot all of this from a good angle.

This is where you need to be.

As long as that guy that did your marketing and stuff last time around isn't still on board, I'd give you a serious look again.

403 here.

You guys came out with something awesome that was new at the time back in the day - you guys will need to reinvent again and come out with something else

I still have a downloaded video of a lesbian scene from like 2003 or so... Nice.

Name sounds familiar, got no idea what sites you had.

Helped?

They were great when porn was all about "bro's", don't know now.

You need to be asking your customers this....Then do some market research with some baby oil and your own dick and find out what sells in your niche again...

And for others, NEVER let yourselves become irrelevant....You can have down times but you still need to be producing content...I just came out of a two month slump where I wasn't really motivated but I still shot content and now I'm back, I'm back with a VENGEANCE.....

I'm guessing this user name has been hacked.

shanes world without shane is like the milf hunter without the milf hunter. you can fake it but it doesnt work out.

Sic transit gloria mundi...

While i can kinda see the point your trying to make ... she was only part of the first 5 movies out of the 120+ SW has. She left a LONG time ago to do her family thing (more power to her!). She has made a few dips back in the biz to host a movie here a movie there. But she hasn't performed in FOREVER. She also was long gone by the College Invasion days which is one of the series that really put the company on the map.

It's always been more about what the brand represented. Fun Crazy Sex with the girl next door ... hot enough to drool over yet cool enough you want to buy her a beer!

Just my :2 cents:

Nope it's legit :thumbsup

Well, the design of your sites suck for todays standards.

Why did you guys stop working at the site?

I was going to write my reply to you publicly but then I realized, it would probably be best if done in private since it deals with a lot of sensitive issues. Thick skin or not, probably best not to openly rehash those wounds. LOL

So ya, I'll contact you later about my reply to this thread in private.

We're planning on that.

Totally agree with this. They do suck and they will change in time.

well, except of this thread you had to go here in three months with pack of excelent looking sites and everyone will sit on his ass :)

Agree with you. And we will be asking our customers this as well. We thought we'd start in our industry first. We will also be coming out with a VENGEANCE. It's a good thing we have some very loyal fans. Two years is a long time but we believe the brand is strong.

Amateur porn is about NEW AMATEUR MODELS - not PORN STARS shot bad by LAZY directors & uncreative photographers. Contact me if you want me to help you with that. If not, keep insulting your audience with bullshit. They'll never notice right? They are stupid.:error

brand equity
 

You have pretty high level brand equity to work with.

Post the US vs Canada video of your guys scrapping with the fat chick in the hotel hallway in Canada. It'll get more people in here and thus, more responses.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh There you go! Did you see that on Directv? I guess they put that clip up on Trutv channel, it was awesome!!:thumbsup

Always thought your amateur turned to 'pro' near the end...

Dead? Maybe erotica promotions just changed form so much that people, blinded by a mental slavery to old models, just can't see it?

Who gives a shit what we think? Do some market research on your customers

Well I love you guys and thanks for being a NETbilling merchant all of these years!
Let me know if you need anything at all.

why did ya leave hush hush

I imagine they want people here to promote the sites, so by asking the people here they may learn something about where they need to get to in order to get people to push them?

IMHO. My customers were not nearly as happy with your products after Shane quit starring in the movies.

The world has changed a bit...
 

While I do agree that some of your sites need some design work, they still need to focus on the amateur feel and image that your content displays. In the end, it’s your customer that needs to be happy. Have you thought about asking your members for their input to better your member retention? If you want to brainstorm any design ideas feel free to hit me up anytime. Are you using a CMS on your tours?

The type of content that put you guys on the internet map is being done by more established companies now (Dare Dorm, College Rules, etc...). Also, something got lost along the way with your material. I used to love the early Shane's World stuff... it was like a party I wasn't cool enough to be part of but loved watching it. The newer stuff... not so much.

I honestly don't know what to tell you because slinging porn is just not like it used to be. If you guys think you can just shoot some stuff, slap together a site and make bank... you're in for a rude awakening. Those days are long gone.

Also, the fact that you're asking us and your fans what they want concerns me. The sites that are popular and doing well innovated and did something different, they didn't ask what we thought they should do. I fear with this you'll just end up with too many cooks in the kitchen.

I hate to be all doom and gloom, but I think your time has passed. Sorry :-(

Yes. We do want to learn and it's always good to listen.

the college genre will continue to sell period. you guys have some great sites so when you re-launch you will probably do very well.

one thing i would suggest though...do some LIVE stuff.

for instance you are very well aware that for at least one month during the year spring break shit sells like hotcakes so why not do a special spring break deal with the college invasion every year and have a live party-orgy-hootenanny whatever where members could be invited as well (if they win of course).

but absolutely LIVE is something to get into. have the colllege invasion girls available live in the members section, maybe you had this already but things are getting more interactive that is for sure.

I appreciate your opinion but we're up for the challenge. Quite aware of how things have changed in the market. We've never slapped anything together. We make about 4 movies a year.
As for asking the gfy crowd, we're not asking for innovative ideas. We'll come up with those. Thanks.

Thanks Mitch. You have always been there for us.

Thank you. We believe the same. To be honest, our toy sales have kept our name out there and so we plan on building from that.

Unless they've been fucked over, most webmasters have short memories. There's been so much fallout, failed programs, nonpaying programs and BS since you've been gone. Any long standing, reputable company with a solid Brand like Shane's World will always be welcome and well received.

Just like back in the day when they took Scooby Doo off the air...eventually we forgot about it. Then when they put it back on we started watching again.

I expect it to be the same for you.

My personal opinion is that you should use the Elevated X CMS to run your programs so you can compete with the big players right out of the box but that's just my :2 cents:

:)

Good luck with the big comeback!

AJ

Welcome back :) As long as no bridges have been irrevocably burned, I saw do a redesign / refresh. But the genre is still valid and your brand position seems great. Good luck to you!

Looks good, maybe work on some hosted videos and some new solo girls.

The genre is hot right now, the content was always solid...You just need to revamp the tours, and you're back in business. When you guys revamp and have PICTURE GALLERY content for promo, please drop me a line. I'd love to send traffic your way.
