DVDs For a Buck and Gay DVDs For a Buck will cease operations as of midnight July 31, 2010. It is with great sadness that we are making this announcement.

The present economic circumstances coupled with the significant shifts within the industry, in recent times, make it impractical to continue our business. We would like to thank all of you Webmasters for your years of hard work and dedication. It is because of your hard work and efforts that it has been a great journey for us. We at DVDs For a Buck/Gay DVDs For a Buck wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

I don't get why they just close. Why not sell the content or try to sell the sites.

Got it in my mail as well. This line in particular seems to be an oft-repeated phrase!

What is a DVD???


They still sell porn on DVDs. I could see why they went out of business.

If everybody's scrambling to get a new source of income then who's going to
be around to do that?

If my employer is selling out then I start looking for a new job and the employer
knows this and therefore can't rely on me being there to close a deal etc...
And the employer is probably knee deep in an effort to start another income
stream.

Well at least they gave us more than a day's notice and posted a fairly classy and grateful message thanking affiliates. Good luck to you and thanks for showing some class.

Yeah Pamela always had class dealing with her. That is the difference here. They didn't just close down their affiliate program and keep the money. They kept the site open as long as they could, and then just shut it all down. They didn't screw everyone and try to keep the payouts.

The difference between an honest person and the other trash and filth that has been going out of business, but fucking affiliates first.

When I was at Playboy I was asked to look into why their DVD sales across the board were dropping. After pulling all of the data it was pretty simple - Too many porn titles on DVD and no one buying DVDs.

The question is what's going to be next after the Internet?
