FUCK! That's VERY fucked up...

Let me run it from Brazil and I'll give you a x% of the biz. I'll not host it in the US and I'll market it for non-US webmasters. Let's do this.

Let's talk, my e-mail and ICQ is on my sig.

The month time frame? hmmm, I could have sworn they told us a year ago that this was going to happen.

Must have been a dream

Nothing unorganized about our operations at all.

The sites are not being sold, the members area will still remain active so old members can login and see the plugins, etc... We are not looking for an offshore solution as moving paysites and billing is a month task in itself, so we are not interested in that.

Thanks for the well wishes from some, and this move will allow our company to move forward and focus our efforts on the future, which is exclusive content based sites, and our other ventures.

Anything else ran by us will be still be open and business as usual. The old biz model of non exclusive content is in the past and we are moving forward with an all exclusive content based model for any future ventures. Got a lot of things in the works and we will announce them as we get closer to completion.

Ok, good enough. It doesn't hurt to ask, does it?

Best of luck to you guys.

It sucks to hear about Hawgs Cash closing down. It was a great program. They are some of the best people in the industry and I wish them the best. I know they have some great stuff in the works. AdultPlayersClub will take care of all the old Hawgs Cash affiliates you can rest assured of that. If you need anything feel free to hit me up adultplayersclub at gmail.com

you are correct.... so those afilliates that have sexually explicit images that were provided to them, need to take them down for their own peace of mind.

i can understand your biz decision... there is ALOT of work to do to be 2257 compliant, and even if you had the manpower to make all the tweaks and changes on your sites to be compliant, you are still at the mercy of the content producers to respond to you in a timely manner, *if* they are even in the position of giving out 2257 info.


since you are wanting to shut down, why not take the slash and burn approach?

start a new program with all new content, that this time, you know will be 2257 compliant, and setup your internal environment for 2257 compliance, and you can continue to operate an adult biz. You also have options to incorporate overseas (i know a few offshore attorneys).

2257 is a record keeping statue.. no different than other statutes that govern over businesses.... the major difference is that this statute is written for the intent to shutdown adult sites, but the burdensome responsibilities of the regs would most likely get struck down.

the remaining 2257 regs are ones that aren't too hard to follow, if you are starting new.

if you have not been compliant with the 10 year old statute, then there is alot of work to do to catch up.

so if you are thinking to just shutdown completely due to the heavy burdens of being 2257 compliant with your existing program.. then start a new one, and do it right from the beginning.


Fight the second chances!

Holy Fuck!

Fucking government.

The Hawgs are a couple of the best guys I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I wish them all the best and I hope their other programs continue to thrive.

I suspect this is only the first of many major programs that will fall in the coming months. Sad shit, they don't come more trustworthy than Mr. Taylor. Stand up move setting up that arrangement with APC!

aleck 06-17-2005 03:25 PM

these guys are kicking arse with APC, good luck!

beta-tester 06-17-2005 03:54 PM

Yes that definitely sucks :(
2257 will kill many sites :(, I hate new 2257 changes.... I'm very sorry about HawgsCash.
