If you take piracy and tubesites out of the equation would anyone actually look at them and say that they have been successful?

yea if you look at other companies that acquire lots of businesses (google/facebook), one thing they almost always do is keep the management of the acquired company on staff to run that business. manwin dumped all these experienced veteran paysite owners after acquisition and had retarded nubes run their programs.
why didn't they keep Shap on to run Twistys? who knows Twistys better than Shap? these tube builders know how to run a successful paysite all of a sudden?
there was a long (couple weeks long) discussion on the other board between Fred, Fabio, and others about how manwin decimated the Playboy program. changed all the links, removed hundreds of galleries, and even removed many of the features on the paysites. how is any of that good for business?
my only point is they killed a lot of good programs with their egos and idiocy. yea i know manwin deserves it, but the programs and their affiliates didn't deserve that death sentence.
tubes aren't the only way they made a mess of the industry, but as you've said before, there will be (is) life after manwin.
