Hey JaceXXX....funny thing. I haven't been around this board for quite some time. I come back and see this thread and I had to respond. You are 100%%%%% correct. I've been saying this from before I ever started a website. When I was like 18 looking for porn. LOL It was so easily accessible through free sites that I never felt the need to buy shit. Sure we all do well anyway....but I wonder how much better we would be doing if this wasn't true? Interesting thing to think about. It's a shame this probably would never happen the same way gas prices would go down if everyone boycotted mobil and exxon. It's hard to get everyone to agree and do the same thing.....although yes in the long run probably everyone would make more cash because sales would become more frequent.

im pro free market, you know capiltalism at its best.. freedom to do what works best for you.Originally posted by JaceXXX
shemp, you seem to be VERY against anyone taking away the free hardcore...I would love a very detailed explanation of why this is
paysites owners have already come here and said their conversion went up when they didn't give away the hardcore...
i said above a couple of times that i hope all of you go completely softcore... i will continue to use the model that works best for me.
remember i accept galleries that are sent to me by my partners, they seem to know what works for them, i dont tell them what kind of content to use..
lets go to some details.....
what is softcore? breasts? nipples? erect nipples? spread beaver?
toys? flacid penis? spead ass?
what about fetishes? real whips? chains? real leather? nipple clips? piercing?
so what is your definition of softcore? and what happens to the poor webmaster that goes over your imposed lines?
who do you empower to be the judge? and what will be the punishment...?
i know I am old, but i do seem to remember that people masturbated before there was the interent, shocking I know..
if your point about softcore vs hardcore conversions is true, then why would any webmaster submit hardcore galleries? The good news is, that you can do whatever you want, submit all soft galleries forever...who is stopping you from doing that? i know im not...Comment

If anyone can take this to the right person and enough people agree with it which Im sure tons of parents would go for this idea. Make free porn illegal on the internet. You can show some tits but thats it, no hardcore or else your slaped with a fat fine. That way we will all get massive signups. Soon Visa and Mastercard will not do any business with sites that show anything more than tits so thats a start. There is way to much free porn on the net. Think about it probably 70% of the people on the net only look at free porn. Lets stop that.

LOL, you can try, but it will never work out Jace!
TGP's list massive amount of hardcore galleries, and you know what? Both advertisers and surfers love it!

Let's say 90% of webmasters agree with you, and they all stop making galleries with explicit hardcore. The other 10% will make a killing, and become the next Hun. Good idea, but unfortunately impractical in today's game.

How about this.
Sponsors stop giving ANY content for free and ANY free hosted galleries....instead of throwing money on them, they work on their paysites to ensure maximum retention and then they pay a few more per sale that anyone else....
Many people would definitely promote them....since not every one uses TGp's to get traffic so not everyone gives a fuck about FHG's or content at all.I don't use ICQ anymore.Comment

cancelling FHGs? the sponsor that'd do that would loose 50% of his affiliates in a secondOriginally posted by polish_aristocrat

FHG's are for TGP owners and not for submitters
and again, i very much doubt that TGP owners make up 50% affiliates of any sponsor program.I don't use ICQ anymore.Comment

Even non-nude galleries can convert great

This is an old argument. Right back there with "Say no to TGP sites, yes to TGP2 sites". Evolution can not be stopped. Just let nature take its course and try to keep up.Originally posted by JaceXXX
does anyone else feel that we should limit what is out there for free to softcore and other non-hardcore shots?
tony404 and I were chatting about this and hopefully he will chime in too, but we both feel like there is WAY too much shit out there for free....certain people actually mentioned when they redid their tours to not include hardcore, the signups increased
i just want some feelings and opinions on this matter
I have actually stopped giving away all hardcore content for our affiliates and our galleries will no longer show hardcore

hmm galleries aren't the biggest prob..
some mpgs are crazy.. they require 3*1,5mb ! clips with 15-20 sec each.. so the free loader gets a whole minute pure hardcore fucking in best quality...
+ they post series.. so if the free loader uses his brain he'll check gallery 01,02,03 and get thew whole 25 min movie .. FOR FREE!
3*10 sec should be the max i thinkLast edited by Corleone; 07-08-2004, 04:29 AM.Comment

Yep but they still do!!Originally posted by JaceXXX
no shit, if I was a surfer of porn, i would NEVER buy a fucking membership....there is WAY too much out there for free to waste my money even paying for something
SHEMP!!!! man thanks for the laugh brother, hope you are keeping well.

My tour only hints at what's inside my site and the ONLY place to find my hardcore g/g and boy/girl is inside the members area...I don't use any of those for galleries, previews or any free areas
I still believe that it's best to really make them want more than what they get for free and pull out thier cc

Shemp if hardcore sells so great why do most TGP's sell their top stops and not run affiliate galleries on those spots . If its so hot?Comment

The big tgps are basically like walmart. The submitters are vendors who need to keep giving the consumer better and better deals, or walmart will find other vendors that will.
So who wins in that scenerio? Walmart, and the consumer.Comment

I am telling this for years and I get booed all the times.
Actually Horny John can go to any reality site's tour and jack off to previews and go away...
The tour are supposed to drive them to join, then they can do whatever they want, but not without joining

It also goes back to the problem in our industry Adult webmasters only think about today dollars not tomorrow. We could of regulated ourselves but most are too greedy or immature to do that and now the government will do for us. Congrats.Comment

The problem is, is that tgp/mgp's are not so worried with their own conversions, they are worried about building traffic and selling spots. You build traffic by giving away free stuff. So tgp/mgp's demand you give away alot in hopes their trafiic increaes. They do not, however, care if your bottom line increases. They can always sell spots to the next guy thinking he will get rich. If there is going to be any kind of reform it will be the tgp mgp guys doing it, not sponsors. But unfortunatley, tgp/mgp's arent worried about their own conversions anymore. The game has changed and its all about selling spots. This is only going to increase free porn, because its all about increasing their traffic.

I don't think sponsors should stop offering hardcore content but I think webmasters should definitely use hardcore content sparingly in free areas and definitely not build complete free sites around it. A "members area" can contain larger amounts of it to upsell sponsors to surfers who have already been filtered as having a credit card.
I just hope that if there is a 2nd Bush term and they roll out the long rumored war on the internet that they put out the policies before they drag out the handcuffs, citing existing laws..Comment
