Brazzers Director Ken Dark has been telling talent about the buyout since last week.

That's only incase you make a mistake or the trolls get involved... :(

Why not input as you have anyway & then see how it goes... No one should make anything 'your bad' mate :thumbsup


The world goes around through voice & every voice should be heard :)


That's probably why our sales aren't what they used to be, let's all get back to speaking our thoughts & keep it real & positive :pimp

I'd hold off to see if it's really true. Although I remember when Manwin bought Webcams.com they kept it quiet for six months. Makes you wonder why a company feels the need to keep their acquisitions a secret for so long. Are they afraid some affiliates won't want to do business with them or will notice something they don't want them to notice?

what an awful slip. I meant webcams.com.

Down by 90% here this month. IMHO something must be up.

Kenny B! 10-21-2011 02:40 PM

If it is true then congrats to Fabian & co, that's quite the score. :thumbsup

You're starting to sound like Pauly M. My father taught me to never count someone else's money and to never pay attention to anyone's bank account, but my own.

He also told me not to talk about things I have no clue about, but this is gfy after all, if people followed that piece of advice the board would have very few posts.

There are some ND sites that still convert at better than 1:200.

Using whose stats though? As I understand it those aren't raws. I don't believe they are even first page uniques, are they?

Not to knock your dad. He was/is probably a great guy. But . . .Yet you feel the need to reply and chastise him for stating his opinion. On one hand you're a great sage on the other hand everyone else is ignorant, knows nothing, and should just shut up. Interesting. I must ask what makes you any better than him or the rest of us? Why are you the only one who should be allowed to speak and state opinions?

Did I see you also in the Melissa Money and the FNCash threads? I thought I did. Can't be sure now and don't have the time to check but I think I recall you making a certain impression on me...

Dubya 10-21-2011 03:22 PM

probably true else Nathan or someone from RK would be here denying it.

ND stats

Vjo 10-21-2011 05:00 PM

When they raised the min to $300 beginning of the year (or end of last year), that was a sign of things to come.

That ALWAYS means the affil is gonna get fucked eventually.

Links pulled.

JA$ON 10-21-2011 05:04 PM

No, it is NOT true

Really? Is that why the old new age location is going to be for webcams and they're going to shoot content at the RK studio. Guess you're wrong bro

min payout is still 50 bucks..

Mr Pheer 10-21-2011 06:35 PM

When they buy Penthouse/AFF, I'll retire from adult that same day.

Not for me. 50, 100, 200 are grayed out. Starts at $300.

I thought this was pretty common knowledge that they went to min $300 but maybe not. Anyone else at $50?

It could be dependent on your location or payout method as well.

I think $300 is the minimum wire payment. $50 is for checks. Are you sure you're using checks?

Oh shit man. Thanks. I am using wires. Duh.

Links not pulled. :thumbsup

Pays to read GFY. Now I got a payment coming next period.

Sigh. I think I am getting a little slower in my advancing age. Thanks again. :)

Edit: And thanks BlackCrayon and Sly too. :thumbsup

For a long time $50 was the min for wires so I ASSuMEd... :) It's the little stuff that goes first. hehe

Vjo 10-21-2011 07:21 PM

Confirmed. I am set for $50 now. I feel a whole lot better about ND again now. I was thinking for months they raised it.

Hopefully they will continue to rock. I have always been their #1 fan. In the day, my bank's $13 wire fee didnt matter. Now days I am glad to go with check and save it. :)

Promoted Jug Cash from back when they first started. When I was making 200 sales month with Nasty Dollars simply running their hosted galleries...I'd make maybe 30 sales a month with Jug Cash. They just never were a big seller for us. And my other friends in this business who had big traffic like we did reported the same thing.

I do know that Pornhub has millions of unique visitors per day and that they are making a killing off of their white label for streamate. Enough just there to buy a big program.
And I do know that their paysites are feeling the same (self-induced in their case) pain that all major generic paysites are feeling when everything is free.

I don't need to know their exact numbers. I do have as much or more experience in this business as most anybody...and using my knowledge I can tell you that Brazzers didn't buy shit. Manwin did. And Manwin's main money in ADULT is from Pornhub and the dozens of other big porn tubes that they have acquired. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

gabe100 10-21-2011 09:07 PM

Talked to a guy close to RK here in LA and he said straight out no. On another board, A rep from RK is saying nope, business as usual. Sources close to Brazzers say this shit is signed sealed and delivered. For sure, rock solid closed and xhamster is next.

Congrats to all.

DoubleT 10-22-2011 04:57 AM

Brazzers says yes, RK says no.

But it takes two to tango.

Would be nice if someone from one of these companies could jump in and set the record straight.

porkbrothersdotnet 10-22-2011 06:23 AM

I just thought of a positive. Maybe RK will offer rev-share. ChaChing!

CaptainHowdy 10-22-2011 06:31 AM

Have a great weekend, everyone ...

ladida 10-22-2011 08:31 AM

Yea, hard time believing this. If they bought rk, did they buy their hosting company as well? Their billing company? Other parts of RK branch (naked, fling, muffia) .... ?

Yea, don't think so.

MaDalton 10-22-2011 08:43 AM

the funny thing is that nowadays almost no one would be surprised anymore if that really happens

Oracle Porn 10-22-2011 08:45 AM

that's huge....poor affiliates...

The Porn Nerd 10-22-2011 09:13 AM

So c'mon Manwin, if you got that kinda cash then throw us all a few bones, eh? $50 per GFY post, let's go....

Lol Fabian doesn't deal in denominations under 8 figures and it looks like he's moving that to 9 lol

Porno Dan 10-22-2011 10:00 AM

Merger would make a lot of sense.

Take the traffic of Manwin and drive it to the areas where they are lacking like cams (Naked) and dating (Fling)

Take the management experience of the talented people at RK TV and have them run the newest Manwin acquisition Playboy TV.

Both companies have branched away from recorded content in a subscription based format as their primary sources of income and this really does seem like the perfect merger.

that's for wires. that was swictehd after epassporte went down.

brazzers is one of the op three biggest paysites, out there, if not the biggest. i'm sure it is doing ok.
