Nathan - can you turn your icq on? Thanks!

ReggieDurango 07-31-2013 08:04 AM

Mike South, I have not read any post in this thread, just the title and the craigslist ad. My question to you is this: what is wrong with any legitimate company looking for interns?

LeRoy 07-31-2013 08:06 AM

We've hired interns here too.

No big deal :)

Okay, I just read the first page of this thread and it is fucking surreal.

I honestly just caught myself masturbating, FIGURATIVELY, to this thread! AND I STILL HAVE ALL OF PAGE 2 TO READ! This is a multiple-load thread.

And while my question above to Mike still applies, I find it unbelievable that on page 1 it got shown that it was actually an ad for my friend Porno Dan's company: :-) Unbelievable.
Okay, about to dive into page 2. Period.

Okay I feel like I'm watching an old vivid feature on VHS in 1992. Page/scene one was amazing had awesome fucking content. Page/scene two was a total fucking limp Dick Blueball. No seriously what the fuck was that? The only interesting thing about page 2, is the fact that Mike South did not post?? Mike, why on earth would you pick NOW to not say anything? GONE FISHING???

how do we know that you are not an intern ?
I'll buy your sig if it helps lol

Because I do sleep sometimes ya know....


But I do stand by my story, the ad may not be Manwins but Nathan knows that the info in it is spot on.....here an interesting email I got

A reader in Europe Writes:
The European TV and online operations taken over by Manwin in 2011 are in deep deep doo doo..!
Lots of layoffs (almost everyone) , all Playboy operations “outsourced” to LA, moving\downsizing offices, fire sale of assets; £3m on offer for £0.5m or less!

you’ve seen this – http://www.xbiz.com/news/166565

http://www.tvbeurope.com/theworkflow.... UfkfLo21F8F

Basically the business appears to be being run into the ground..


combine that with layoffs here, at dp, manwin canada and at playboy

combine that with Manwin losing Playboys Sirux/XM contract

combine that with Manwin probably losing the sirus/xm contract for sextalkradio on Oct 15

combine that with Manwin asking for better terms on the Playboy deal

combine that with manwin trying to thwart DMCA takedown requests in order to prop up the oe profitable area the company has...thieving...

combine that with deiter/fabian/nathan simply unable to contain his runaway mouth any longer

combine that with more Manwin stuff I got coming....where theres smoke...theres fire

Dankasaur 07-31-2013 10:01 AM

Weird, Obama just emailed me saying the NSA is watching me poop and not Jeff Goldblum... I know it's real. You really think someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?

ReggieDurango 07-31-2013 10:06 AM

Mike, come on man, do you have anything real? Do you have anything solid? Pieces about Manwin changing the DMCA rules to fit their vantages for their tube sites and this thread you started here seem to imply you don't really have anything concrete. I do hope I'm wrong for my own enjoyment of the melodrama but if you're holding onto any bigger bullets I'd say release against Manwin now, Or just shut up about Manwin forever and go on to more worthwhile causes, like my campaign to get DamianJ banned from GFY and all Internet forums forever! Lol. I'm serious!

For some reason Mike seems to think the only reason to optimize a company after a spree of M&A transactions is because it is crashing. Obviously a company not crashing would _NEVER_ try to optimize their bottom line...

That more or less answers any claim he makes a few posts up.. but yet again he keeps claiming there are "layoffs" which is a term for firing people because of business slow down or closing of a certain group in a company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layoff) ... without ANY kind of proof or even an INCH of facts.

He gets 5 eMails of people that were let go, and he thinks "WOW, 5 people, that's insane!" - so now all of sudden there are layoffs all across Manwin!? Who are you kidding?

As I said above, any company, always, optimizes its operations, it would be stupid not to. If there is money to save without hurting the top line revenue, why not do it!?

or maybe one in his own backyard

UltraMegabit

These sites deliberately foster relationships with piracy forums and uploaders of huge amounts of porn, paying bounties above and beyond the normal uploader rates for latest releases. This involves the organised use of stolen credit card numbers to fraudulently gain memberships on sites and in some cases tapping into human resources within the production and distribution channels of porn companies themselves to get hold of not yet released product.

Millions of dollars is lost to this industry every month as a result of these organised criminal conspiracies.

Why is it that those commentating on this industry keep missing this giant elephant in the room while rehashing tired old stories that often end up lacking in any merit ?

What I would really like Mike South do a story on is this shady ass owner guy of talent testing services. shady dude with connections to various things including of all organizations the aids healthcare foundation! Mike how about some real investigative journalism and investigate this talent services clown. And post your findings on your website.
By the Way, Mike, that talent testing services/UCLA study thing was complete total bullshit and I honestly cannot believe you backed that. Shame on you for that one dude, seriously.

Most companies in this industry don't show external signs of weakening until the very latest stages. Part of it I think is because the facade of being a big invincible company and industry leader helps with business so it is very important to keep that at all costs once you have it.

Admittedly it doesn't look now like you are in any danger of collapse at any moment but there definitely are some signs of crack in the concrete so to speak. You don't seem as financially well off as you were in say early 2011 as a company. Let's see what another six months brings. If after a year there is nothing major that happens to you guys then I will say it was all bullshit.


I remember this.

There was more money in the pool before you devalued the content to the point of being near worthless. It's shooting yourself in the foot since you are now an industry leader rather than some small obscure sponsor few promote. On top of that your whole business model is unsustainable.

You'll make less money from actual sales from your adult properties, although you might find some people to invest in you.

Your growth seems to be slowing already. The desperate will cling to you and that'll help for a while but they'll start clinging to other saviors instead as your relative traffic falls.

[/swamie]

For all my talk I don't have anything personal against you guys and would praise you if you did a lot more to be legit. I wish you would do more to help the situation as industry leaders. I think people like you could turn it around. Just as we all could have done so 3 years ago if we acted more intelligently.

I admit you guys made it so far. Longer than I expected. But also 24 months later we couldn't talk because I believe you were in prison at the time for tax related charges or did they let you out on home confinement by then? Anyway let's see what happens by the end of the year. Hopefully you don't end up in jail again. How is that going anyway? I never heard anything more about it.

Hey Im just one guy, doing what I can with the sources I have If you want to disregard it be my guest Like signupdammit I see cracks, chinks in the armor and Im tellin ya about em.

as to your post on page 2 adultking...I saw it but like I said I'm one guy and I go where the story takes me. I know Fabian gives you lots of money and you feel a need to try to redirect me but it wont work...for one I dont have people inside those orgs feeding me info and for another they are not the highly visible and direct threat that Manwin is.

First and foremost I protect my sources so any "concrete" evidence you may want yer just gonna have to read between the lines. Ya once in a while I get a piece wrong but all in all I will put my reporting up against avn ot xbiz any day....

anyone here who knows anything and can provide reasonable proof is welcome to contact me, and rest assured you will be protected as a source.

ReggieDurango 07-31-2013 11:30 AM

Okay Mike the above is a good post, but dude seriously why in the world would you side with and defend this fucking owner of TTS? The guy is clearly a scumbag. Just do a little digging on him and I'm sure you'll see that.

Things like this always seem silly right up until they are obvious. That has always been the case for the last 15 years. From what I understand it was investor income which fueled much of their growth. Without that the beast might have trouble staying fed....

Let me make one thing absolutely crystal clear. I have not had personal benefit of one cent that any contributor to the Stop File Lockers project has given. I have worked tirelessly for more than a year now, virtually every day, chipping away at file lockers.

Nobody, not anybody, dictates to me what I do and don't do regardless of what funding they might provide and any insinuation to the contrary is wrong.

What I do understand, however, is the sheer scale of the file locker problem and I suggest that from your comments above you seriously underestimate the threat they pose.

Yeah you seem like you are a thoughtful person. Do you know anything about this TTS situation? I'm sorry for thread jack,, I don't really know why I am, but I Suppose for a while now I have wanted Mike South or Fabian to comment on this talent testing services owner who I personally believe to be a completely shady and scummy Character. I am 99% sure that Fabian is not a fan of this guy, therefore it is my theory that Mike South IS a fan of this guy for no other good reason then to disagree with Fabian on yet another topic. Mike feel free to prove me wrong

I was never on home confinement, that's another mike south rumor.

I was released 21st December.

The investigation is ongoing, no charges were filed until now.

And in terms of Manwin, since dec 2010 we tripled in size.

I do not disbelieve any of these words. Now for the record can you just state that you are not a supporter of the owner talent testing services? If you do so, I will be able to make a pretty valid argument that the only reason Mike South is supporting this guy is that YOU are against him. Sorry to everyone else, this is the last I will touch on the subject in this thread.
And Fabian, I know that you are a smart guy and you research THINGS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO YOUR BUSINESS AND OUR INDUSTRY, and I am sure you agree with me that the UCLA talent testing services study was complete fucking BS

Nathan 07-31-2013 12:11 PM

Reggie,

I met with the owner of TTS, and although I do not see eye to eye on all he does, I do think he has usually the best for performers in mind. This does sometimes go against the industry.

I tried to help with testing in the industry, I succeeded in some parts, but then you have people like mike trying to discredit my trying to do so. I think in testing the biggest problem is that margins are small and thus there is fierce competition. This hurts the industry in my opinion but it is very hard to fight.

honestly i dont really know sixto we talked on the phone once during the mr marcus thing....I got a press release saying that they were offering free testing in exchange for participation in a UCLA study, I contacted the person doing the study, the study was at the time legit and overseen by UCLA med people ....so it was good enough to run

The Porn Nerd 07-31-2013 12:20 PM

I used to go to a Diner every monring for breakfast. Then, one day, I go and the Diner is closed and the building is condemned! "WTF I was just here YESTERDAY. No one said they were closing, the building was being torn down, the Diner was packed...."

Businesses rarely (if ever) "admit" they are having "issues" (whatever "issues" they may be). So trying to extrapolate and surmise actual "facts" (what Fabian keeps asking for as "proof") from sketchy reportage (Mike South) is folly.

Manwin may be experiencing growth pains and therefore may be re-alligning their corporate structure but....so what? LOL None of that means what people in this thread (and industry) WANT it all to mean: that Manwin is "failing". People are prohecting all their Manwin-crashing hopes onto any scrap of "news" Mike South (or anyone) can come up with.

My call: move along people, there's nothing to see here (except Fabian/Nathan's snark-fueled remergence as a contributing GFY Member. Welcome back FB/N!).

mikesouth 07-31-2013 12:21 PM

Breaking news...Kayden Kross told manwin to "fuck off" and resigned.

its at http://www.mikesouth.com

Or maybe I made that up too....huh Deiter?

mpahlca 07-31-2013 12:23 PM

So I blame Amar at Paperstreet for making me read this thread. Nathan keep on doing what you are doing hope all is well and you are enjoying life.
