Always prefered Penthouse to Playboy when reading skin mags back in the day.

Hustler was in a class by itself of course.

spill the dirt

adult.com had the most stupid paysites ever that didn't convert for shit.

They tried to steal others reality sites ideas but always ended up with retarded crap. (cock pizza? LMAO)

Lensman was a smart man to unload that pile of shit for so much $$$

I used to collect Hustler Humor, even got my wife to enjoy them when we first got married (the Hustler Humor)

one man's dream is another man's nightmare.:2 cents:

most of the "wives" or "girlfriends" i've seen with hef lately have made me cringe, they are hollow plastic barbies.

as far as the magazine goes i can actually say i've looked at it more for the articles cuz that airbrush crap just don't cut it.

Dont you just love Fair Weather Friends ? Kiss ass, when they think they have something to gain, then shit all over you when they think its safe ?:2 cents:

i never bought playboy., i jerked to hustler magazines.,
and year after i downloaded playboy pdf off torrents and noticed i made right choice.

anyways naughty america hepled myt whole country to jerk., :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

First mistake is to believe this is a place to "make friends"...

I have made several good friends from this place:2 cents:

Only positive things to say about Playboy on this end!

There were shooters here in LA that worked for Adult.com who would tell models they were shooting for Playboy. And some of these idiot models actually thought they'd be in Playboy magazine.

Yea - from me as well.

They kinda lost their way over the years but at one time, they were the shit. For me personally, they helped me to define what kind of photographer that I wanted to be and how I wanted my stuff to look.

Nothing but respect from me.....

Fuck the haters :thumbsup

I thought we passed the friends stage and are now lovers :(

:1orglaugh thats funny!

You swore you would'nt come out of the closet:mad:

Much love for my bros at PB

I guess the sale is finalized - links pulled.

is Eric still the mod?

Hef's an icon, nothing bad to say about him. He still looks good for a guy in his 80s, for crying out loud! They could have adapted to the intternet age better, but still the brand has a special appeal for many men and even young females. I had the pleasure of shooting some of the original season of "Playboy's Sexy Girls Next Door" tv show here South Florida back in the late 90's and I hope that the new management under Hef finds a way to continue successfully

Yup:thumbsup

As a webmaster, Playboy has always treated me great. They rock :thumbsup

Hef's a legend. I'd be thrilled to have lunch with him anytime.

RealityCash actually converted OK there for a while..

I know right? You'd think with all the money they've spent on toys and bullshit over the past few years that they would man up and pay their bills.

Why would I badmouth them?
Playboy is good :)

I do like the Playboy Casting Calls

ladder!!

lol yes I still have a couple as well :)

$60k that sure is alot of pennies :mad:

Considering all the scumbag, shady and outright thieving companies and individuals I have come across in 13 years in the adult biz, Playboy is the class of the biz as far as I am concerned. Nothing bad to say at all.

Thank you Hef.

:winkwink:

The most offensive part is that they had us do extra labor to "summarize" the work done on the new contract extension they requested in writing (as per our initial contract), then snubbed it and offered a 10k settlement. That became 8k, then 2,500 only IF I agreed not to sue them (and signed a document saying so). I told them to shove it up their ass.


Eh, well, life goes on. I gave them a 50% discount in exchange for GFY ads (which kept getting put off, then I never got). Original deal was $120,000, cut it in half to $60,000 for the ads. They paid the inital $60,000 in installments -- which were sometimes very late -- and then sent me written notice that the wanted another $120,000 contract at 50% off. I agreed, had my team and outside vendors work on it for months, where they kept stalling and not paying. Finally, they claimed they just wanted to void the contract ...

.... Long story short, I was still liable to my vendors, one of whom had bypass surgery and I wasn't willng to stiff on the money. So not only did Playboy not pay, but I had to come out of pocket to cover it.

So, then one of Lensman's friends came on GFY with fake drama, which I let slide, and I've kept quiet about it since for fear of the typical cover-up, delete, and ban.

Supporting evidence was removed by a mod -- by whose request I have no idea.

So, $60,000 discount for ads never received + one year extra at $120,000 is actually $180,000 if you think about it. Damages to reputation, libel, and willful contract violations would shoot this total up even higher.

It might make all the sense in the world to just file it now due to the timing.

Shrug. :)

And yes, trolls, the contract was real, here's a check:

Oh, and I will add: much love for Eric and the staff at Reality Cash. This is a corporae boner at the VP level, has nothing to do with the good people at RC. They wanted to pay me, begged corporate to do the right thing ... It was just one hardon at corporate trying to screw someone to save on the bottom line.

:stoned

ADG

What type of software were you coding for them?

Wasn't just software. Was the entire service to run it, too. Completely turn-key. And for its time, revolutionary.

CMS? Webcam system?

One of the technologies was morphing RSS feeds. True morphng, not the crap being passed off as morphing today.

I remember when you told me that you were suppling the morphing feeds, I knew nothing about us even having them.

Thank You, I didn't want to be the spelling police, Whats a latter?

The other one was bringing my political veiws in, WTF does that have to do with it?


I really enjoyed working for Playboy, I had a couple run ins with a couple people that worked there, but everyone else rocked.
Taking lunch with Ice and Loryn, or sometimes the whole crew would shut down the office and get all you could eat Sushi. We had parties together, we got along and had fun at work. Everyone got those plastic bb gun pistols and shooting everyone during the day, then I bought the full auto p90 in the mail, LMAO
