No answer yet.

What I could say from my Playboy fan and adult webmaster point of view is that :

Manwin scores one point merging the cyberclub with the main site, but they made several mistakes that bring them to a situation where the Playboy licence seems not profitable for them.

1) Playboy Plus members pages navigation was not good in the first months.
2) Pictorials for months have been whitened, with no colours and no contrast. If it seems better now, a few pictorial are still whitened.
3) Online videos were not easy to read for months, really frustating for members. It took them several months to solve that.
4) Some videos lasting 10 mn were offering full nudity only a few seconds. A lot of Playboy fan didn't like that.
5) Manwin team didn't clearly manage the different categories Cybergirl, Coed and Amateurs. Now that Coed title has gone, there's only Cybergirl and Amateur category but fans still wonder what Amateur means.
6) A few weks ago, Manwin reduced daily updates from two pictorials to one, surely to save the cost but unfortunately that's not a good point to keep members.

From my Playboy fan point of view, Manwin didn't manage to keep the spirit of Playboy in Playboy Plus. A lots of long term members cancelled their membership because they didn't find anymore in Playboy Plus what they loved in the Playboy Cyberclub.

Obviously, Manwin attract new members with Playboy Plus but I'm not sure these new members are long terms reccuring members and an adult site as Playboy needs a bulk of recurring members to be profitable.
