As a once in a while Xoom user, yep. I did not really like looking at my own site's mobile version.

This thread is interesting

Also, I think now that the Galaxy note and similar fecking phablets along with higher resolution and just an overall better image are going to make their way, even the best responsive designs are gonna die out before not too long.

Html5 and css3 was a pretty big jump and for good reason but people and tech don't always move that fast. Still the most viewable media is a flash player with mp4 video. Mac guys have lots of workarounds and are usually pretty tech savvy.

Hate to think I'm leaving money on the table but for the head aches, not sure it's worth it. Maybe I just missed the boat.

No, mostly younger guys...early 20's to mid 40's are the majority of her members. I talk to most of them online (we are like a mini-social network in the members area), and they post their own pics in their profiles in the members area for her to see too. And I can't think off the top of my head of any "older" members (60 years old and older).

Kinda surprising to me that your Karups Older Women site would be getting older guys though. My experience in selling mature porn on Grampland.Com has been that the younger guys with "mommy" fantasies are the ones who really like the old women (older than CM that is...she's 39)

Also, it always seemed like the dirty old men who bought the teen stuff.

Kind of like the reverse of what they are is what they want. lol

The only thing I could ever figure about that over the years was: Young guys can pick up young women all the time at clubs. And old men are usually married to old women.

So when they fantasize...it's about the women they DON'T usually get.
That's my theory anyway.

I really like what Michael P did with ZTOD.com. Have you seen it?

As a former webmaster of one of Sean's sites, I agree with him. I'm constantly amazed how many program owners still question whether mobile is important or not.

The president of Time Warner and the president of Sky UK are both pouring money into mobile. They have said, it's the single biggest return on investment for relatively little money (The Economist July 2013)

I've seen one program owner generate 33% more revenue from rebills after launching a mobile version.

Another Alexa 12k site I worked on grew by over 100% within 2 months of refining the mobile experience. All organic. The mobile traffic eclipsed desktop in less than a year.

Will it kill the demand for downloadable files at some point?

And is this incidentally going to kill the torrents? file-sharers?

even if it did there would just be illegal streaming sites up instead. piracy problems don't go away, they just find new ways to deliver. You just have to find ways to earn in spite of that.

epitome · 10-10-2013, 06:08 AM

Adaptive designs are where its at. Not dedicated mobile sites.

And for the love of God, please let mobile users select the desktop version of your site if that is what they want. Nothing more frustrating to me than being forced to use the mobile version on a tablet.

Shap · 10-10-2013, 06:18 AM

Agreed. I should have clarified. i didn't mean MOBILE sites as much as I meant adaptive/responsive site. IE if you visit it on a computer, ipad or iphone it looks great

The problem, as I see it, is as soon as you go responsive what happens when new devices, OS, tablet hybrids, etc emerge? The race to force new tech down our throats every six months is beginning to reach overwhelm and I see a backlash coming.

This reminds me of when I used to design 8 different websites for 8 different browsers. LOL Fun times.

Obviously you don't understand what responsive/adaptive actually means. You should go to a conference, or read a book.

Thats the beauty of responsive designs less worrying about these things.

Oh for sure Karups OW has a lot of younger members with the fantasy of cougars/teachers etc. But compared to Karups Hometown Amateurs or Karups Private Collection, the site has a big base of older members, which seems to result in less mobile users than the other two sites.

Hit me up, we can do it for way cheaper than that. We can make all the sites responsive so regardless of device it's optimized and always stays on one URL. No m.sitename.com or anything.

I knew you got it, you were always ahead of the curve on those types of things.

Even still, in 2013 I see people asking about developing standalone mobile sites. If you already have them there is nothing wrong with keeping them, but if you're going mobile in the future it should be responsive. Apparently a lot of people (in mainstream, too... perhaps more so there) don't even know that is an option.

Doesn't mean it works or is remotely optimized for a phone user.

Have Flash on your website? Welp that doesn't translate to mobile.

I thought only crapple mobile devices did not support flash (they are notorious for making life of their users as hard as possible).

Anyway in many cases not optimized regular version of the site is still better or on par than not full mobile version.

It's not just them. Flash doesn't have a high mobile adoption rate in general. Apple was smart to leave it out as it forced lazy webmasters to adapt better streaming solutions. Best solution to reach the most users is to have a responsive site, HTML5 player and MP4 as the default stream.

Anything after Jelly Bean on Android OS no longer supports Flash. HTML5 all the way.

Yeah... but some of the comments eluded that flash was just fine. Made me think... for 1 second... and realized you don't want flash at all... JS is not flash.

I'm just saying... the thread kinda was eluding that flash was ok... and I don't think it is at all.

btw... I have a proven 3 year record of doing very well selling adult games and need a developer. I've asked so many people and just can't find anyone to develop my latest ideas. Maybe you may be interested as I see your site in sig

I saw a presentation a few weeks ago on holograms and the presenter could push buttons in the air and have a reaction to it. It was super freaking cool.

that'll be the iphone 9 lol

BareBacked · 10-10-2013, 07:10 PM

The biggest problem I found when trying to make a reponsive tour is you end up pushing the join forms WAY under the fold when the site is viewed on a phone ( narrow width ).
Maybe you have some solution.

I'm surprised holograms haven't been mentioned more and haven't started to surface. When holograms happen porn companies that hop on that are going to do well.

The Porn Nerd · 10-11-2013, 07:59 AM

In the future all devices will come with 'responsive translaters' so the device will automatically resize and reformat the pages.

Holograms and 3D sense-memory porn are the future.
