            your designs on the discount stuff look way superior to platinum bucks's

            these "surfer quotes" on each one are pretty horrible though

                  pretty obvious they xeroxed the program and the design layout - BUT Truth Hurts is right and AMP admitted it himself, not much original in his layout, it's a very popular one right now, there are hundreds out there.

                  Lensman should be pissed more than AMP but the big boys are realistic, they expect to be copied, you never hear a word publically from the Bangbros that they invented fake reality video paysites and the layout both AMP and the PlatinumBucks designer was first used by the the OxCash crew. There were long scroller tours before but some anonymous designer at OxCash came up with had enough unique elements that it deserves to be considered an innovation.

                  AMP's discount site design work is MUCH better than the PlatinumBucks ones.
                  I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                        and if our shit was plastered on the booth at Internext in full living print color, how far prior to that do you suppose we were actually concepting the whole thing? An hour? A day? Maybe a week you'd give us?

                            hmm. Just looked. First site was completed May 25.
                            last site finished was June 6.

                            Of course I can't speek for Hooper, but I'm pretty sure he is refering to the sites I am thinking of:-)


                            You raise a point on the coinsidence of a similar launch date and type of program. Does it really matter who thought of the idea first? If they did get the idea from you guys great, kudos to you! if they did not, there are 10 other companies out there where they could have gotten the idea from.


                            Competition is good.. It keeps people honest... for the most part at least!

                              everyone's a fucking innovator.... and naturally, everyone's got some sort of alibi to back it up.


                              well, I don't know many innovators. And I don't know many above average thinkers. They're few and fucking far between.

                              But I know one. And I know the Adult.com Think Tank busts some serious fucking ass to make shit happen. And it ain't done by snagging shit off a fucking 8' x 10' booth graphic.

                                Here is food for thought.

                                If you had a "revolutionary" idea, why put on all over at a show 6 weels before it is ready for prime time? So someone else can copy it? Not saying pbucks did, but others should have been quicker and beaten lens to the punch. Amp, I think you need to find out who made the great biz idea to promote an idea that was not ready yet.

                                    Amp, answer the question. Why promote it, before it is ready. Just begging to be ripped off. I am still upset my guys did not catch it at the show.

                                          Of course he did, because I would imagine that he did the booth graphics under the direction of Lens. Lesson learned. Even old school millionaires can learn lessons.

                                                    I think it's uncalled for, for you to try to turn this around on me. Stick to the issue at hand. This is not a witch hunt. The facts remain. There can be no denial.

I knew they were looking to do a program like our new one, which I said was fine. After all, they had a look at it almost 2 months ago. But copying the sites too?
                                                                      I guess Lensman didn't know what the sites looked like... Sounds like something Lens and Dave should discuss over the phone and not so much over GFY.

                                                                        We didn't design them , so I have no interest in the outcome of this.

                                                                              amp's look a LOT and I mean a LOT, better. So much so that i think amp is actually belittling himself a wee bit even comparing those other sites to his work.

                                                                              cleaner - lighter - and they make you focus on specific parts of it. Amp's work is light and SWEET and the other is, well, busy and heavy.


                                                                              trying to copy maybe - succeeding ...........nope.

                                                                                http://www.msnbc.com/news/969329.asp?0ql=c7p
                                                                                Innovation Is Overrated

                                                                                Base point being - it doesn't matter one bit who came up with an idea. What matters is who makes the most of the idea - usually the folks that come later do better, because they can launch an improved product.

                                                                                I also agree with the "why show it off before launch" theory - you don't show your hand until you're ready to rake over the chips.

                                                                                  Otherwise what would the show be if nothing new was there to see?

                                                                                              I believe more programs prepare $10 sites. Rebilling at $40 is not an easy option anymore. Lower prices will keep the overall cb % of a sponsor within the acceptable visa limits. That's the main purpose of it in my eyes. I might be wrong.

                                                                                              I don't think PB intentionally did anything to copy your designs. The new sites follow the same graphic style of their previous ones. Take a look at Milf Riders and College Fuck Tour for example. I do see some similarities mostly in the bottom part of the tours. My guess if it didn't happen 100% by accident, their designer had a look at one of your tours and got influenced without realizing it.

                                                                                              It doesn't need much thought that any copy attempt would got flamed at the same moment and PB people are smart not to do such thing.

                                                                                              That's my opinion, don't flame me now :-)

This is indeed a revolution or evolution, no matter how you call it, and a new step forward for porn sales.
