10-15 videos and 300k spent? I ask again: ON WHAT?
The CMS is not worth 20k, the content is not worth 20k, the existing revenue is not worth 20k.....I am sorry but maybe the adult game is one you should not be playing. Take whatever $$$ you can and move on.
Sir.

On top of that, saying that the adult game is not one they should play. Well, if you mean running paysites then point taken.
But overall, take a look in Thomas sig and a statement like that should not be made at all.
To finish, the honesty to tell the full story like they have takes some serious balls. Most would hide. So for me, huge respect to Thomas and Jeppe for what they have done.

thebestamateur thank you for defending Jeppe and I.
I appreciate that a lot, and I also think that when someone else is willing to stand up for us, we have a reputation that is worth something.
I'm not using your real name because I don't know if you want it out.
I'm willing to agree on that the results we have shown with running a paysite is bad.
If that was the only thing we did in the adult industry I would agree with you.
We opened the first review site back in 2001, it was adultreviews.net
It's now adultreviews.com
We bought that domain at a price of 43k and when we bought it, it was 1/3 of one months net revenue after expenses.
The review sites are still under active management and it's funding our mainstream ventures.
They also funded our attempt with Lifestyle Amateurs.
It is not as good as it was in 2007 when things peaked, but it's still decent money.
And no, the review sites are not for sale.
Regarding Lifestyle Amateurs or any paysite host/network:
The person who can get the models with content and traffic to reach critical mass at the same time will have a good business and a self exposing and scaling concept. We failed on that. We are tech people, we could build infrastructure, and that's what we are trying to sell. It will be a waste just to close things down.
In the right hands, it's a good tool.
