I see several posts mention AdultCheck. Yup, they got me too! This time it was ProAdult. income was very good, made lots of new good friends and than it all went POOF! All I ask is when they catch the person in charge - all I want is about 10 minutes alone with them in a room.

Yup - ProAdult got me big time - didn't even use any KY Jelly! OUCH!!

I figure I can either cry in my Bourbon or use what I've learned and move on. After a few weeks of solid revising and reloading sites the money is again coming back in. So here's a couple of my thoughts for what it's worth.

3 Things I learned from all this:

1) A lot of us that were at ProAdult used only ProAdult. I'll never do that again!
2) A lot of us that were at ProAdult used their servers only. Talk about DUMB! Great hosting is cheap! I'm on my own now and life is good.
3) Good looking quality sites make sales, traffic is king, no matter who your with.
I've also learned that John and Stefan are good honest hardworking guys. AmateurReality.Com and VoyeurMonkey.com rock! I'm making money again with them. They're both doing everything they can to help those of us going through ProAdult withdrawal. If you got some true amateur sites, look them up.

I've also learned that since ProAdult doesn't love me any more, there are a lot of others out there that are willing to take me in. For example - CyberAge. I've been driving those poor support people nuts as I move my entire network over to them (on my own servers now of course!) They've bent over backwards to help me! I'm sure I've left them chewing on their desks but no one has even gotten mad at me as I learn their system. I'm being treated like a king and I'm not used to that.


I realize there are a lot of "adult site providers" here on the board. If I haven't joined you yet - I'm coming! It's just going to take me some time. For those of you wondering if I'm going to just post my same sites and just swap out signup scripts. Nope - Content is cheap, hosting is cheap. I have no intentions of ever doing that.

There is life after ProAdult and it really seems to be better than I imagined. It just might be the best thing that ever happened to me, an expensive lesson though! I learned to remove my head from my butt and let life move on.
Thank you for the kind words.

It's their job to make sure your transaction happens easy. We have had the same staff and the same 20K SQ office building for over 10 years. We welcome anyone and everyone to our programs. As time has proven, we are here for the long haul.

Every AVS company can tell you. Without you the webmaster, there would be no AVS company. People come and go, they say they have disappeared and they are back. But we have never left in 13 years.

We started with one Webmaster and have been in the AVS biz for over 13 years.
If you need any help with your sites, you can also contact me directly at David at CyberAge dot com
