That has to be about the god damn dumbest thing I've ever read on here. And I think that's saying a lot!

Do you actually expect people to believe this? Why not just admit the truth, you're selling it with hardware so you can pad your margins even more? I know I would have respected you more if you just came out and said it, instead of trying to feed us this load of crap.

Imagine what would happen if every software vendor decided there was liability if their product was installed on a warez copy of windows. I'd have about 65 computers sitting here right now, each with 1 application sitting on it.

Stupid, stupid STUPID!

yes, you might get a few sales, and no one faults a businessman for making a buck.

but remember who the client base is, and where the big numbers are.

do you want 5 sales, or 5000?

my2257 06-01-2005 07:00 PM

Oh wait up to 31 request for documentation on the product.
Oh look 4 Affiliate progarms so far

Guess their not waiting for their Goverment hand out

Id rather have 5 sales @ $10k than 5000 @ $300.

Just me but letting any hobbyist webmasters get their hands on this would be a logistical nightmare for their support team (if they have one).

Thank you.

That is our feeling as well.
1) It takes us about 4 hours to install the operating system and SQL on each box.
2) Then hours to run all the updates and service patches.
3) Once this is done we must install our software and set the license key for the server.
4) Now we have to configure the system to a producers needs or a webmasters needs.
5) We need to test the server and software before shipping
6) We have to walk the client through the use of the server

There is A LOT involved in this system. Over 2 years of development, Attorney fees, payroll to developers, testing, reading regulations, modifying database to meet regulations, ect.

Not a simple task. Our first two clients BOTH spent 4 - 5 months trying to do it in house before going with our solution.

We understand this is not for everyone. Never claimed it would be. We are interested in those clients looking for a proven technology with a company that has been in the adult internet industry for nearly 10 years.

We hope a more affordable solution is released, but till then who has a tested product?

my2257 06-01-2005 07:12 PM

Up to 37 request for info

Last I looked 37 was more than 5

Seriously if you spent 2 years developing this shit then it should have a easy to install user face, Stop with the non sense bullshit of saying you need to have to sell it with the PC, all your doing is making more money by saying it takes a fucking geek to install..

Hmm... 5 sales @ $10k = $50,000. 5000 sales @ $300= $1.5 million

I think I will take the 5000 sales @ $300, but that is just me.

No doubt. Any 4GL or similar RAD program could have done it in 3-4 days within knowing the posted regs.

Yeah i aint the best at Excel but i know its not that hard to make it up to sort and go to folders in it, Macro Scripting works wonders, I made a excel sheet with all my passwords for programs, tgps, my earnings all broke down in month and yearly and a statistic of how much its up or down.

Now if that was easy to make im damn sure making a simple 2257 database wouldnt be to hard in excel with a hint of access and macro scripting.

Thats fine, you get to deal with all the 'support' shit each day from 5000+ people too LOL

Trust me, a higher price with a lower sales volume works, its worked for us as a company for the last 8 years :winkwink:

2257 stuff ISNT a long-term business, think about it, if the FSC get their injunction, nobody will be buying these solutions, the ideal time to get clients for this type of thing from a marketing viewpoint is NOW whilst webmasters are running around like beheaded chickens not knowing what they are going to do.

It wouldnt hinder anything. Its a turnkey solution and I'm sure it has some features that are great. To comply with the law you dont need the features, but they make it easier.

That is even more of a reason for the 5000 @ $300 model. Get the money and run, and a lot more money at that. If this is not a long term issue, then my $1.5 million will go a lot farther than your $50,000.

Ok look, Most affiliate programs or content suppliers are going to send digital format since they arent opt to send actual paper, So what do you in all honesty think is going to be alot easier for a affiliate program send digital format or take the time and mail it to the person? Now when they send it digital format put it in a folder of the models name, Go in excel and type out all the info on the paper work and take advantage of the sort features the lovely company called microsoft implemented in excel for us.

Tony you shoot content right? You as a content shooter you already pretty much had all your content in order like the new 2257 wants it? Just the sending to secondary producers is a big problem, Now any good content producer would already have it sorted and filed in a professional mannor as the 2257 wants it, I seriously doubt a content producer would take the papers and just throw it in a card board box and say "Yeah yeah ill find it when big brother wants em fuck it until then"

You?re the primo candidate for this.
- Been in the industry as long as I have.
- Follow EVERY rule to the letter
- EXCELENT customer server
- TONS of content and talent to manage
- LOT's of docs to manage

$3000 to organize all of that?
Really too much to pay?

TheSenator 06-01-2005 07:30 PM

Are you going to have a solution for webmasters? Just a stand alone software that can handle the job of secondary producers as defined by the 2257.

Now serious look at it from our point of view, If hes been in the industry for a long time and follows every rule to the letter then he should have this shit in place and would not need your software am i wrong?

No, you are not wrong.

The my2257 software is a perfect solution for a lot of people. I am going to take a serious look at it, but for the reasons stated already, probably don't need it.

But there are a shit load of people that do.

Yes - There are two versions

PRODUCERS - published from the point of view that you know who the talent is. All the productions they appear in and the date of production. Allows you to track the distribution and follow your images with encrypted compliance information in every image

WEBMASTERS - written from the point of view that you have content and know who produced it. Let?s you fill in what you know and generate reports for the producers and you in house staff to complete the missing information.

If producer and webmaster use my225 it's very easy to merge the info through the databases

So you been in this industry and dont run your shit professionally? Wtf?

WE have everything except the printing of every fucking pic so we are going to database system . We bought filemaker pro and are going to bid out a simple database. I also have a advantage 85% of the content is my wife. There is no pic they could throw at me where I wouldnt know exactly where to find it.

Read your post and my reply again.

You said I have all my shit in place. Then you said..am I wrong? And I said..no, you are not wrong.

Just because I have all my shit in place, doesn't mean I am not going to take a look at it. There may be a better, easier way then I use now.

Not bashing your software, alot of people need help. But I know of a company that has been running 2257 software, (unix based and windows based) that kinda follows the current laws and your system since the late 90's. Huge production company.

And you don't need the video/photos attached to the software. It only needs a reference number to pull the CD or url or folder location. Ours is CD based with reference numbers attached.. Takes about 3 seconds to pull the content up. Most old school production houses have done the same thing for years, pretty simple and costs almost nothing.
