Sorry JFK, forgive me for I know not what I do. :1orglaugh

How many days will that take?

We can buy a whole pack of dogs. :1orglaugh

Depends. Can you tell us how many toilets we'll need on the set?

I will say that apart from the politics of it all, I did like that there was somebody on that stage that knew the affiliate community, that knew the GFY dynamic and not just in vague terms (in the way speakers lately say 'the boards' but you know they never go there) but knew personalities from way back up to now.

If you go to shows, you know what I mean, there are fewer and fewer 'down in the trenches' types around - until this show . There are other people that are at this show which I pretty much assume comes from Theo and Panos knowing the history of this part of the industry so well.

*hats off*

So he's a Top Notch, Stand Up guy again?

Did he say he steals all your shit and you are too much of a bitch to stop him ?

Manwin is impressive... many years ago 2 of my guys sat down with them and they said they would eventually like to just buy every major brand in the adult industry

and damnit if they are not doing that..

good for them..... adapt or die is truly the deal

luckily Webmaster Central is working on an entirely new model to offer our clients B2B that will give them something that the tubes don't have

hopefully a game changer that will give surfers a real incentive to join and stay with paysites.. more info coming soon

To bad I couldn't make it this year to visit the show, hear only good things

Godfather III

Yes. All is forgiven.

Pornographers are so greedy and/or desperate they have a short memory span. Sort of like gold fish.


Considering their entire modern operation was built on piracy and unethical business practices, yes, it is impressive that the industry now bows at their feet and has them speaking at shows. Adapt or die, indeed.

That's a cute Playboy/Manwin jacket. Makes a nice logo with the two mixed together, the epic world famous bunny head sitting on the M. Looks nice.

if you turn it 90 degrees to the left it looks like a fish that swallowed a bunny :1orglaugh

just kidding :winkwink:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Or as is, it's a giant something coming from the depths of hell and eating the bunny when it least expects it.

Sort of fitting. :upsidedow

Nose candy?

They are not the first to do, nor is the concept revolutionary.

It as it's been done time and again in online adult (as well as other industries). As Harry Truman said, "The only thing new in this world is the history you DON'T know".

:2 cents:

so where is this video you all speak of

someone fill me in please on what the 'in' thing is now.

First everyone was agressively against manwin.

Now everyone is brownnosing them.

I'm confused. I wanna be a bro too but i can't keep up following the herd... please fill me in

survival of the fittest :)

GREAT quote.


I think you're onto something.

DarWIN > ManWIN

I'm onto you Fabian.

I feel local obligation.

Will Manwin eventually become a religion??

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Bless you, yes it will, here's Prophet Fabian of the church of ManWinzareth:pimp

So what was the big announcement? Was it DigitalPlayground?

That is brilliant.

That they named it Manwin because of the sign that got ordered by Mansef, and the domain Manwin was availble, he pretty much told everyone how it all happened and what he believes in, over all, a lot of interesting stuff

I love the logo on his shirt. Look how the Playboy bunny over the Manwin M now looks like a bunny with spider legs.

I too would like to hear that speech.... sounds like no one is posting it though.

Kill user uploads? :1orglaugh

This is exactly what they want you to think. If any tube site depended on "user uploads" for content, they all would have failed a long time ago.

It was taped, they are probably editing it right now:2 cents:

What flavor was the KoolAid?

didn't know nathan was so sexy.

this is the internet bro, should have been out by with special effects done and some nice cut screens too :thumbsup

go sit on that sexy desk boy




yeah... one leg out... yeah...

hey asshole, I pm'd you about that whisky.

dont kill the messenger:winkwink:

He gained a few pounds

I'm working with streammate all your bases and so on.

Hey I'm somebody now...I got a mention in that Keynote speech

“Although Mike South has posted on his blog that it was done months ago,” added Thylman, “when he first reported it we weren’t even talking about this, and deals always take time, and we finally signed yesterday. We signed in a bar in the casino, so you could have actually seen it.”

I aint callin Fabian Out...OK maybe I am... but if at least some part of the deal wasn't done months ago why did you order all of digital playgrounds affiliate (the ones that pay dp) checks be changed to go to Manwin on sep 15th 2011?

just sayin....

"In essence, Manwin is a tech company," he said at a rare keynote speech at Internext, an industry-only conference held immediately before The Adult Entertainment Expo. "We're online and have such big sites that we have to be very, very good at the tech side of this business."

Some might roll their eyes at such a description, but Thylmann made a strong enough case over a 10-month period in 2010 and 2011 to convince a Wall Street fund (which he declines to name) to agree to a nine-figure loan in April 2011. The money was used to pay down previous acquisition debts and fund new takeovers, such as Digital Playground.

It's a strategy that has earned Manwin respect among its peers.

"There's no question those Manwin guys are smart and they know what they're doing," says Steven Hirsch, founder of Vivid Entertainment.

yes that was the big announcement. they just finalized the deal with signatures at the HR's central bar earlier that day.

He mentioned Paul Markham as well, so Mike , you're in fine company:winkwink::1orglaugh

Umm, I'm no expert, but why would DP's affiliates be paying DP????? Should be other way around.

And WHAT did Fabian say about Paul????

:1orglaugh
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Tom is on it. Working remotely is not as fast as at home. :2 cents:

it was a crack about the bathrooms...............if you follow threads :winkwink:

Im talkin about the ones where dp IS the affiliate...the ones where company X sends dp a check.

Ohhhh Gotcha.

So Mike how do you know that Fabian "order[ed] all of digital playgrounds affiliate (the ones that pay dp) checks be changed to go to Manwin on sep 15th 2011?" ???

Though my status as a "journalist" could be questioned...there are two things I will NEVER give up

1. Rock and Roll

2. A Source

;)

3, 1 for boys, 1 for girls and 1 for shagging in off screen. Simple enough. Does Fabian know is the real question? :1orglaugh

Brown-nose the money. It's funny watching people brown nose one of the companies that's putting them out of business. :1orglaugh

Slow but sure.
