And to DirtyProfits....if you think I'm ignorant that is your right. No, I don't LIKE torrents. It pisses me off because I have skin in the game. BUT, at the same time they are weak. REAL weak. They don't create anything. I think of them as cardboard facades of a building. There is nothing there but an empty front. Whereas I offer a REAL site that has a foundation and real working parts.
And as I said...if you and avolongold are really all that worried about torrent sites then by all means...call me "ignorant" as you leave the "industry" that you really aren't a part of anyway. I'll stay behind here and continue to make money with my real sites. And the torrent sites will fall to the wayside as the novelty wears off.
In my opinion it just made guys like me have to sharpen our skills and work a little harder.
But on a side note...if I ever do meet a torrent guy that has some of my stolen content on his site...Yeah, I'll beat the shit out of him. Just on principle. LOL!

I haven't said I was ready to jump ship, far from it. My dating and cam sectors have been increasing in numbers at a steady pace. Most (not all) of my reality and movie sponsors have been taking dives in the last few months.
I already make great income from both adult and mainstream. What i am saying is that many webmasters that i speak with are concentrating more and more toward some type of mainstream ventures while their adult sales are currently down.
Once again, i am by no means jumping ship on a industry that paid for my first home. I can adjust to change, i'm just saying that many webmasters are not thrilled with many of their sponsors inability to fight the torrent/rapid shares. They are sticking to fewer sponsors but promoting mainstream more heavy than before.
I also notice that Solo model sites are not affected by torrent sites as much as other adult sites. I guess its hard to create the solo model/girlfriend experience on a torrent site (ex: diary, personal emails etc...)
