If that is the case, I am very dissapointed in my employees for not bring that to my attention. Something I would have considered copying per my business model. I plan to reprimand my peeps who went to Miami!

I've had sites like this up for years.

turning it into a program is new. and it's ballsy in my eye's but I wish them all the best.

I'm gonna try it out just to see how it converts compared to our $1 trial for a month/Porn4abuck

You're right, it's not new, was just replying to Brad's comment since he wasn't at Internext so he might not have known that Lensman introduced his program as early as Internext.

Amp, I can understand your frustation. But I also think you should consider that you guys launched the sites yesterday, you really think they could have "copied" them so fast?

You've said nice things about me :glugglug

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

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

Mutt 09-24-2003 09:24 PM

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.

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!

Amputate Your Head 09-24-2003 09:34 PM

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.

BradShaw 09-24-2003 09:34 PM

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.

sometimes you demonstrate such vast unbridled cluelessness, even I am amazed that you have managed to successfully feed yourself for this long.

BradShaw 09-24-2003 09:43 PM

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.

SuicideMachine 09-24-2003 09:44 PM

im agreeing with amp on this one

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.
