    Actually not trying to be a jerk...dunno you enough to be a jerk and I'm not exactly a regular here. Put it this way - I wouldn't want to accuse/dance with any sponsor program unless I was absolutely sure my point would hold up...they have a nasty habit of including lawyers.

    Most don't take too kindly to being accused of stealing...

    best of luck -

        I invented Gothic.

              I left darkdollars to get out of the goth niche...I guess I was mainly in it because it's my preferred niche, but it became my albatross as that's all anyone ever thought about when thinking of me...so I moved on to bigger and better...goth converts quite well, but it's a very small, very finite niche....
              you have to balance "should I cater to the hardcore goth crowd or the "mainstream fratboy who just saw The Craft and wants a wank at a Fairuza Balk wannabe?" Well, the "hardcore" goths don't seem to spend as much as the fratboys, but the one who do stay longer...

              I just decided I'm no longer in the business to indulge in my own personal tastes, I'm here to make money....

              then I can afford all the gothic hookers, strippers and adult performers I want........

                      I was trying to figure out who is going to pay to see this stuff.

                      Every "goth" I've known is always broke, and the "goths sex" girls are about as attractive as a paxil commercial.

                      Some of the glamour stuff black & white stuff is very nice - but selling a site membership based on that can't be easy.

                      If there was bloodsports added I could see a highpaying dedicated niche market - but thats a whole lotta legal trouble.

                          As long as Hot Topic keeps shoving their trendy gothic fashion down the throats of today's youth, the goth niche can only flourish.

                            I saw one for sale recently in the Vegas paper...hehehe

                            I'm not sure if I'd want to play it straight or as a campy spoof of the bangbus type stuff...if a spoof, not sure how many would "get it"



                            gruffy, I find goth girls very hot, it's that whole mysterious vibe.....it's the anti-blonde bimbo thing I have....but, yeah, it is a tough market....and it was where we were with darkdollars...do we keep it "real" and jjust get by or do we appeal a bit more mainstream and sell more memebrships but piss off longtime subscribers who are offfended by watering it down...

                                              I used to work for a company that did custom videos and e would get a lot of request for vampire stuff...

                                              I've been considering some horror-porn type stuff...it pisses off the white hats, but a nice comb of flesh, blood, danger and flesh would do well, IMHO

                                                    That's like my dream girl....the type that when she's done humping me into the bed, she'll drive an icepick into the back of my skull during the finishing kiss......

                                                        Might be lonely, but it beats the alternative.

                                                                                    So this isn't the theme of most goth sites is it? I mean the bath on of blood?

The kids going into Hot Topic are not going in with a gun to their head. If the kids are helpless to resist good marketing, it's not Hot Topic's fault, it's the fault of the kids' parents.

                                                                                                  Hopefully we won't get thrown out of the bar this time
                                                                                                  I know Maarten, George and Jonas are going. Marius and I probably as well.

                                                                                                  No, I don't think you know the guy behind bloodurge.com, but he's a friend of me, Jonas & Marius. He's a good guy, although he's Norwegian

                                                                                                  Btw, could you please stop buying all those good domains?
