Has anyone posted the opening videoclips? The questions... That was more informative.

Interesting reading, they certainly have a strategy :thumbsup

However as a tech company I never saw them bringing something innovating to the table.

I'm very curious what they will introduce as new innovating tech in the upcoming year to monetize all those brands and content.

Also cool to see that there are investment funds willing to invest in adult entertainment.

Piracy pays. They are proof.

A room full of web and tech guys, and no one is able to get a video online within a day.

You can bet if someone was shitting in the pool, it would have been online in 10 minutes.

they said the new messiah would arrive ...

Well I'm not talking about piracy but more about his vision to bring his brands to the consumer (web and TV).

Piracy is like the war against drugs something that can't be won without any good rules and policies on a worldwide level.

The future of our industry is not primarily fighting the war against piracy but adjusting your business model, making new apps, new ways to attract your consumers to buy your products or services through a more attractive model.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

At the moment all we see is picking up failing or plateauing companies and copying everyone else. Would be great to see if someone big can bring something new to porn.
9 figures investment in the adult business?????????????????????

Sorry if I sound the doubting Thomas here, but if it was money you were in control of would you invest $100,000,000 in adult entertainment today? Maybe to buy more of these.

He did mention toilets. :1orglaugh

The future will be interesting.

They have a long term vision and started acquiring companies in a certain order at the right time. Now they own most of the chains (traffic, big brands, broadcasting rights, cams, dating, amateur communities, etc).

So with an available investment fund of 9 figures they did a hell of a job. Now with some innovating tech strategy, the right brains aboard, connecting the dots they can make new things that attracts the modern consumer.

Investors don't push a 9 figure fund into something without a strategy, so consider them all sitting on golden toilets in the near future :upsidedow

This Just in Manwin to Develop real hoverboard inspired from Fabians favourite movie Back to the Future.

You just reminded me of why I stay away from this place...

Just because he said something in a speech doesn't mean it was true. Did he hypnotize everyone? lol

You want a shirley temple with that, sissy!

you have a toilet allergy??? :1orglaugh

Nah, I have thin walls in my nose, why I couldn't fight in a ring. Been cauterized twice and still bleed easy. Never been broken, but got messy. If I put that up my nose, would really screw it up Im sure.

Bump for a video of this speach :)

Paul, clearly we did not get 100,000,000 usd.

We got more.

i wonder what you will be doing with all that money since there's clearly nothing to be earned with online porn - compared to magazines

lololololol

Bad boys, bad boys, Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

He actually said in the 9figure range, so I'm thinking it was $500,000,000 and he also said that memberships were still the primary source of their income, not cams and dating... :winkwink:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

the 9 figures was to pay off some of their past buys and to fund future devs

ALL the money will be deployed by june/july

probably faster, a round of drinks at the circle bar is about a Million$ :drinkup :drinkup

I want our company to have a Glee club.

Nice with these type of numbers, acquired assets and the right crew you can do a lot of magic in future dev activities

So did they go to parties and threaten people's lives before or after the keynote speech?

Also, how is anyone confused by the industry rolling over for these people when it's just repeating the same pattern it always has? This was 100% predictable.

Its prolly on the torrent sites and usenet by now

Even though Paul couldn't sell an adult membership for the life of him, he still knows better.

Success is always fleeting , trust that

OK, be honest. After you got that kind of money, you had to have had at least a few raging nights with a bunch of whores strung out on coke. No?

This sounds like a lot of bullshit coming from someone who defended a bunch of scammers here with his life. Even when people left and right got their cards banged. Idiot.

Nathan you did a good job on your speech. You came across as a very down to earth guy and not a head in the clouds I'm to good for you bigtime corporate owner. You answered a lot of questions but still left some mystery cause you didn't cover them all (on purpose I'm sure). I hope AVN is a good show for you guys. I know your a Fabian but you'll always be a Nathan around here. Don't lose track of your roots and beginnings.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

I doubt anyone could take an hour long shit in a pool and if they did, it would not be up yet.

Don't forget the pink umbrella ;)

I enjoyed the speech.. pretty interested in seeing this legendary stats program they are working on for affiliates (if I remembered the name correctly)

typical ass kissing bullshit

most of you pricks are so thick its fucking embarrasing

That is pretty cool how you have so much insight considering how far away from the event you were.

Duke - were you there?

It would have been great to see you.

Mitch

I was amazed but the amount of attendees that were there to see Fabian speak.
He did a great job, was extremely down to earth as he always seems to be, very intelligent and had alot to say.

I have the pleasure of working with several Manwin owned companies and many of their employees on almost a daily basis and I can tell you that they have a clear strategy and extremely bright employees. Manwin buys successful brands and improves what they all do best.

Kudos to Manwin and all who work with and for them!

Mitch

:thumbsup

Fabian himself commented that .xxx was videotaping his speech. I wonder what that was all about. He even joked about being handed papers and welcomed all who wanted to give him some court papers to come on up...no one went. lol.

You are too funny Paul. Ever thought of getting into comedy? Maybe start a comic magazine?

If you meet me you'll find I come up with a lot of funny remarks. Good that you saw it as a joke, which is what it was originally and again here. some people are too dumb to even think. Magazines are not the way to go. You should know that. :winkwink:

To get a 9 figure some from investors and being in the field they are in, it would obviously take a very detailed plan and projection. More paysite acquisition, more offline porn company acquisitions. Yes it sounds good. We shall wait and see, I waited for the DP buy to be made public, will wait to see more.

Good for you. Who's next on your shopping list? Maybe online porn being owned by a few big boys working together, with the little micro Ma & Pa operations making a living is the best way forward. Concentrate on the fundamentals and not have to compete hammer and tong in a fragmented industry for affiliates and traffic. Seems ironic so many brown nosing you when you're in the business of dominating the industry. 9 figures gives you a good head start. :thumbsup

To get such a sum takes a well planned strategy. Not just going in and saying "If we had $200,000,000 we could buy lots of companies. You need to tell them who, when, how, price, return, etc.

I assume you've applied to a bank for a business loan. I have.

Pussy. Just put me on ignore. I made a valid comment. They are mostly picking up companies that have had their day or taking over the online operations. When they buy or take over one of the top players we will see the future. Still 9 figures invested in an online porn company in these days. You have to present pretty good plans, forecasts and spreadsheets to get that money from the financial sector. I see you're just the product manager, the CEO would know what is required to get this kind of backing from the financial sector.

I'm just throwing in the opposite view to the brown nosers. :thumbsup

acquiring strategic toilets

Who would be the top player(s) today according to you?

i'm pretty sure Fabian just walked in, said "gimme all your monies!" and walked out with a big suitcase with a 9 figure sum....
