Damian love. No one will provide proof, because there's no proof that can be divulged.

What would constitute proof?

Ccbill's, Epoch's, Verotel's figures on porn site processing might be a good one. Not what someone said to you at a dinner. That's not proof.

Like so many things, you draw a line a lot lower than I do.

We do have anecdotal evidence and that all points to me being right.

Economy.
Availability of pirated porn.
Free Tube sites.
Proliferation of free porn.
Faster downloads means most sites can be downloaded in 30 days.
People leaving the business.
Sites closing.
Programs closing.
Sponsors not paying.
Boards shutting down.
Boards slowing to a snails pace.
Cost of buying traffic.
Models complaining of the lack of work.

Add
People telling us their income is dropping.
People telling us the industry is shrinking.
People telling us we need to work harder.

So there's your chance to show us I'm wrong. And don't forget this isn't just about me, others read this and will be amazed you don't come up with the challenge and produce anecdotal evidence I'm wrong.

Lets face it you are a shining light of success in online porn.

Yes guys if you work hard you can be a success like Damian is. :1orglaugh

So first off there is no proof, then you call for the IPSP's accounts as proof.

Make your mind up. There either is proof or there isn't.

Think this stuff through before you post, kid.

Can't get much lower than you, can you? I mean, you lie about being retired, you're broke, you rent a small cottage for $150 a month that you can't cover so you send your wife out to work a very menial job whilst you sit on your arse all day trying to annoy people you don't know on the internet.

That's fairly low.


Haaaang on a minute, you said the Court of Markham refuses to accept anecdotal evidence, now you ask for it and you use it to try and prove you are right? Look at the citations in those articles. Look at the sources of the data.

You are so lolsome.

I don't lie about being retired, or successful Paul like you do. I make a nice living and enjoy what I do.

Let's see what you think success looks like:

Shelves full of utter tat from funfair stall?

Wow.

Thing is, just like the shooting lola creepout vid, you probably think those shelves full of 50 cent tat looks good. You come into your sitting room and think "wow, I am classy and successful, look at this cheap plastic owl. PROOF!"

No need to work hard to be a success like you Paul. You just lie, pretend you are retired and pretend you bought your own house and 20 year old car! Simples!
