And even if I did sell a banner ad on my main page...how would that hurt our business? My main page always was full of humor (I stopped doing the daily humor 3 years ago because there were so many dedicated humor sites that it didn't matter), polls to vote on, a blog section, games to play, etc.

I told you before...we made people rich in this business. We HELPED the business as well as enriched ourselves. The way it's supposed to be.

What Manwin and other companies that steal are doing is they are conducting a "Scorched Earth" campaign and just destroying sales for everybody but themselves.

Totally different concept. There was a reason why we would go to shows and be treated like kings by every paysite owner. They loved the sales we sent and the money we made them.

I highly doubt any paysite owners out there who have watched their sales plummet over the last 3 years would be treating Fabian like a king now...unless they desperately were trying to sell their program and paysites to him and get out of the business.
Sorry I was wrong then.

But the practice of filling sites with poor content and solving it by throwing traffic at it, first hit the magazine business a body blow, then the DVD business and now your business. Poetic justice. But keep thinking it's about stolen content. It's never was and never will be. It's about getting a 1,000 views and 1 sign up. Now it's just escalated to 10,000 views and 1 sign up. But usually via an advert.

TGPs started it and Tubes perfected it.

You live in the past and the clock isn't rotating anti clockwise.

Those who made their money, like me are sitting back and laughing at all those left struggling. If you had made a sign up every second you would be sitting on a beach getting a tan. Or your server would of crashed everyday. That's 86,400 sign ups a day. Or in other words $432,000 profit a day at $5 a sign up. $1,296,000 a day at 50% rev share.

I doubt if you did 1 a minute. But keep believing the spin.

Maybe that's one of the problems of online porn. People delivered spin that was illogical and everyone swallowed it.
