Congrats Theo and Panos. And great that Eric keeps his hell of a job in the zoo ;)

άντε γαμήσου

congrats! GFY is my favorite forum.

who is manwin and why is that other thread closed?

Oh please.........:1orglaugh

congrats but hope this doesn't turn into a myspace story :( I'm kinda Liking it here.

Sounds like a good change. Congrats

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.

.. lol ..
By the quantity of Baddog avatars , I think that if he did not buy it, he owns it ....

More like the CEO of Sega dumping his trash in his neighbour's (the CEO of Atari) dumpster.

Oh wow! Nice move AVN!

congrats to the new boss...

::::::Effective Immediately::::::

ALL XBiz Award Nominee's need to remove their banners from GFY.




:winkwink:

Hope this means good things for the industry

Change is good ...

hahahaha!!! you got it Bjorn!

There's rumors of Manwin buying AVN, who just bought GFY? When does the Exodus begin? :1orglaugh

damn your right! i must be losing what little left i have of me brain.:helpme

That avatar kills me man.

Should be interesting to see who skins the board in the coming weeks and months.
.

Congrats AVN! This increases the value of this board.

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...

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

Great news! Congratz! :thumbsup

congrats :glugglug

WOrst of all your a really fucken nice guy and there is not 1 thing to bust on you about. I hate you.

Congrats Howard

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.

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.

:1orglaugh

Already told you in person but congratulations guys. Looks like the Greeks are taking over the world! Who would have thought...

very interesting news

Congrats to all parties involved.

If I stole your car and legally could get away with it due to some fucked up law, then put it up for sale across the street from you in plain sight so you could see it, it wouldn't piss you off? Can you honestly tell me that action isn't wrong?

There is right and there is wrong. Theft is wrong. Period. There is no way to justify it, though criminals always try. Prisons are full of "innocent" thieves or cons who justify their actions.

It goes further than "not liking" someone and has more to do with that someone stealing from you, which in turn is stealing from your family. If I caught the same people stealing my scenes on mini DVs in my house, they would be shot dead on sight without a second thought. However, since it's online, "hey... it's not so bad, adapt or die. Can't wait to see you at the show, bro! Lets do some biz! Slurp, slurp, slurp."

The sad part is, everyone is so desperate for sales and traffic that they will do anything, say anything and side with anyone to get them. That's why the industry is in the state it's in, because you people will do business with the very shit stains who steal from you. Pathetic really. :2 cents:

great seeing you Jack:thumbsup

I agree..

Its been fucked up for a while now

Great news!

congrats to all parties

There is no point arguing with Far-L over this stuff, he thinks all tube sites are innocent and it is just a couple bad rogue users who are uploading the stolen content, and the sites don't want it either. He also thinks all tube sites were honest from day one, and it's always been the users... total waste of time. It just so happens to be convenient for him that he does business with them and think they are so innocent, because surely he wouldn't do business with them if they were stealing content and profiting from it. :upsidedow:1orglaugh

any wonder why you think he defends them so much, go look at his clickstream and where most of his traffic is coming from: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/homegrownvideo.com
