RawBucks Closing - Affiliate Content & Domain Liquidation Info
 
After having produced content for over 15 years, Aaron French and Seth Chase have taken on new projects outside of the adult entertainment world.

As you may already know, production has ceased for the RawBucks family of sites (SUCKoffGUYS.com, FUCKoffGUYS.com & BarebackPlace.com).

Sincere thanks & appreciation go out to our partners, colleagues, affiliates & fans.

Affiliate Content: We ask that all promo content be removed ASAP & no later than November 01 2016. At that time, DMCA notices will go out to site owners and web hosts for any remaining content found online.

At this time, Aaron & Seth are making the following domains available for purchase:

RawBucks.com - Webmaster affiliate program for above sites. Online since 2009.
GUYSonVIDEO.com - (Available by Nov 01 2016) Currently serves up the back-end member area for our pay sites since 2002.
SUCKoffGUYS.com - Our best selling pay site. Online since 2009.
FUCKoffGUYS.com - "sister" site of SUCKoffGUYS.com. Online since 2011.
BarebackPlace.com - Serving the most popular "niche" in the gay adult industry. Online since 2003.
VideoBoysUSA.com - Defunct site (replaced by GUYSonVIDEO.com). Online since 2001.

Domains lised at: SEDO

All reasonable offers will be considered.
At this time no content is being offered for sale.
At time of GUYSonVIDEO.com sale, all outstanding memberships will be cancelled and pro-rated credits will be issued.


Best Regards,
Aaron French & Seth Chase

Do you plan to in the future sell the content?

Great to see your attempt to let webmasters/affiliates know. But also sad to see another program shutting. Good luck on your next ventures :)

Although clearly within the terms of most standard TOS, I consider this kind of request to be rather shitty. Your affiliates (not me, I'm just being a classic GFY blowhard) will have been using your content for many years for the dual purpose of promoting your program and building their sites. If you aren't selling the content, you've got no need to remove it all from the internet, so you're burning down your affiliate's sites as well as your own for no purpose. I say again, shitty thing to do.

Fortunately, the DMCA threat is almost certainly a bluff. Nobody who is going out of business is going to put that much time and energy into a pointless and expensive content-wrangling exercise. Smart affiliates will laugh and ignore.

It was nice to inform affiliates, 2.5 months notice front.
i tend to agree with post above, but then again, you least give your affiliates a head start

see ya later

You are selling the assets.. so why not try to sell the whole thing intact?

There must be a problem with the content. Rouge performers going rouge?
