I don't think that one is irrelevant... it's very relevant. I don't necessarily see them as *fucking* the surfer.... they're trying to make a buck off the guy. If he gets to the join page and decides to close it out without buying, then fuck him... popup everything you can in his face. Maybe he'll see something he DOES like. TGPs don't make the rules for a paysite owner. They just either gotta deal with it or promote a different site. I think TGPs are en excellent traffic funnel for paysite owners.... but now that we have 17 million of them out there... I also think that it's become overkill.

TOO MUCH FREE PORN.

There's virtually no incentive left for someone to buy. Now.... who does that hurt? It hurts the paysite owners obviously.... and it also hurts the fuckin' TGPs, because if no one is buying.. there won't be any fucking payouts to the webmasters running the TGPs either.

So you tell me... you honestly think that paysites popping a few consoles or dialers is hurting us all more than having 16.9 million MORE TGPs than we really need?
