AVN just as thick, never heard of em. Whole adult industry is full of morons! All trashing and boycotting CamGirls.com to steal it off me for firesale price.

You'll all wake up one morning with 'password incorrect' message and every adult on Earth will direct to CamGirls.com. None of your pension checks will clear when I've finished with you all.

Whoever owns AVN and GFY or whatever, holla at me. I compose porno music and will give you a special acquisition discount on a 10 song leasing package... :pimp

Yo Adrian 01-12-2011 10:16 AM

Interesting news indeed. I doubt there will be any noticable changes around here though, wouldn't make sense to buy it and then change it. It is what it is.

V_RocKs 01-12-2011 10:28 AM

Nice to see it in the hands of a news worthy news organization!

xanadu 01-12-2011 11:52 AM

Thanks for the kind words everybody! Both me and Theo are members of the community many years now and will do our best.

We are very excited and nervous at the same time, we met many members of the community in Vegas and a reason we delayed the announcement was that we wanted to talk first in person to as many of you we could, get feedback, opinions and ideas.

We are still fighting with the post-shows arrangements, but will be back in LA tonight and we will be around to answer all questions and hear what you think and how we can help to make step by step things better.

Do you care more about other webmasters than your own business? I don't think anyone runs a porn website as a charity here.

This is like Sega being bought out by Atari.

Who are you kidding? Nothing enhances the value of this board. Especially if Manwi buys AVN, in which case, I can see GFY pretty much dropping dead...

adultchatpay 01-13-2011 09:37 AM

That's cool! Let us see what's next for this board. gofuckyourself AVN ;)

I don't expect anybody to run this site as a charity, but I have seen several examples where relationship to advertisers/sponsors seemed more important than ethics and what is in the interest of the general webmasters here.

Wasn't there a Pornhub skin some time back? Reading some of the threads back then it was like a kick in the balls to many people.
I also remember a deletion of a thread involving Video Secrets attempt to steal money from an affiliate. Very convenient for them that it suddenly disappeared...
There have been other examples, it's just a matter of digging up old threads if to they are deleted.

To answer your question. No, of course I care most about own business and I expect everyone does the same. That doesn't mean I don't care about other webmasters.
Fx I don't promote Brazzers, AFF, VS just to name a few. Every time a sponsor is revealed screwing their affiliates or are in other ways bad for business, they end up in my personal shitlist. Beleive it or not but I also care about my surfers and what I try to sell.

Mickey_ 01-13-2011 12:44 PM

About time. :)
Congrats to all involved, 2011 is off to a busy start. :thumbsup

The irony is that as the industry gets hurt by the poor decisions and affiliates are put out of business the value of advertising on this forum becomes worth less and less.

Well... sounds like you are planning to take a lot of sides in issues and I personally think that would be the kiss of death to this board. How do you know if VS is guilty or innocent? I have never heard of a cam company that didn't have models complaining that they were ripped off, shaved, blah, blah, blah. Just because people don't like Pornhub putting up a skin doesn't automatically make them right and Pornhub wrong for seeking to advertise.

Over the years, many boards have lost their lustre or rusted out completely due to new owners trying to impose various personal directives, vendettas, etc. I hope you will allow the same freedoms and not try to take a side on these matters where there is not clear cut case of right or wrong. It is fine to let the mob of people posting debate the matter, take sides, and come up with solutions.

That back and forth give and take is the lifeblood of any good board imo.
