pinktv out of money

100x pink tv doing well and strong

I remember the David Lee Roth show that Hanco put on. That was the bomb!

Mitch

But you know the name. The ads STAND OUT!

... and people are talking about them

Hopefully you make Vegas. I'm only going for the 6th and 7th for Internext - then I have other biz in Vegas through the 11th.

I can't do thw whole show myself because of other commitments PLUS it's just going to be a madhouse with CES and the Video show going on.

I'm actually looking forward to the other business I have to attend to than Internext this year!

Here's a little history for you

http://www.lukeisback.com/archives/a...tes/000113.htm

Pornoman writes on condomproject.com: "This convention was easily the best one yet as far as accomadations.. rooms were killer, convention area was amazing, parties etc were great.. finally a place that could handle the show.. every convention should be held at the venetian.. I think CE's booth was the size of the last convention center alone."

Porners talked about the large Hanco booth owned by Price Hanson. According to rumors going around the convention, Price is a Southern farm boy whose dad won $27 million in a lottery and gave him five million. Price threw a well attended David Lee Roth concert Tuesday night.

Hanco has 20 employees, and a wide array of content with the best technical quality video streams I've seen. Hanco has the exclusive license for the content of Rob Black's Extreme Associates.

Hanco's root site is primextc.com which offers a wide array of well-laid out high quality original content. Also, hancoent.com.

Robert Wood shows me the site and says: "Luke, if you come to this interface, you can type in a key word and get video clips related to the topic."

Nine out of ten net porners at the convention, I estimate, had not heard of Hanco until this IA2000. Price and his associates attended the last IA2000 six months ago as research. A few weeks before, Price decided that the porn internet was the place he'd make his mark.

Net porners, like all people, are skeptical of newcomers and Hanco has more than its share of detractors who predict that it will take five years for him to make back the money he spent on this year's show, estimated by various sources at around $500,000, the most of any net porner this convention.

I hang out with Price and his Hanco and Extreme people beside the AVN booth.


Then like 4 months later

Hanco Exec Departs

Lev writes: Hanco execs are dropping like flies. Director of Marketing, Dana Frank, is the latest to jump ship. Her reasons: mismanagement, lake of company focus, and general inter-office malaise. Along the same vain, James Gulf, Hanco's Content Manager, also resigned today April 17, 2000.

Email: Thousand Oaks, CA- Friday, April 14, 2000. Dylan Wroblewski announced his formal resignation from Hanco Entertainment/ PrimeXTC. Mr. Wroblewski left his position as Director of Web Operations and Product Development citing only irreconcilable differences regarding "...company direction, and management techniques".

When reach for comment, Mr. Wroblewski gave the following statement: "To all of my colleagues, business associates and friends, I will miss you all. But only temporarily! I will be working with all of you again very soon. I feel I have done all that I can at PrimeXTC and it is simply time to move on. I have no negative feelings towards any staff member at PrimeXTC, and I wish them the very best of luck with every future endeavor. On a personal note, my very special thanks to Hanco Vice President, Jim Henley for allowing me this opportunity, for bringing me to California, and more importantly, for his guidance and friendship."

Dylan Wroblewski served as Director of Web Operations and Product Development for Hanco Entertainment beginning in November of 1999. While with Hanco, Mr. Wroblewski was responsible for website developmet of xpleasures.com, primextc.com, cleavagecity.com, pinksushi.com as well as two content disks for webmasters, Xpleasures Vol.1 and Oral Fever Vol. 1.

In addition to content and website production, Mr. Wroblewski also developed and ran the webmaster sales division of PrimeXTC, and assisted in the creation of the PrimeXTC booth as well as helping to host the Xbash featuring David Lee Roth at IA2000 in January. Prior to Hanco/ PrimeXTC, Dylan held the title of Vice President of Operations for another content provider, Zmaster Inc.

Luke: Another Hanco exec apparently is calling it quits. Eric Moir sent out this email to webmasters: "Erick Moir a.k.a. Moi Moi has resigned as the COO of Hanco Entertainment. I cannot guarantee that all payments will be paid, but I sure hope for everyone's sake that the webmasters' checks are cut on time for everyone. We will all do business together in the near future!"

Much love my brother from another mother!

Looking forward to the recommendation you gave me. I see huge profits!

Me too, yo - BIG THINGS!!!

Don't forget to keep that on the DL

LOL

CLICK HERE

LOL

I fixed it so they can just click the image

I'm so hi-tech

I think he's Jonathan Silverstein.

do you consider free 500k 30-days trials people that filled this form?

http://www.pinktv.com/subscribe/sub.asp

Thanks! I had no idea.

These pesky nicknames always screw me up.

WTF????

they're probably FEDS.

btw , they own the name "pinktv" http://www.pinktv.fr/


way to go

I saw this as well, had a good chuckle I do not know of PinkTV what they do or how they plan on doing so but I wish them good luck..

but yes planes flying over the hotel reminding you of the night before was not a brilliant marketing move.

Figured it was something like that

You dropped 400k on webmasters when you don't want affiliates?

Good luck in this biz. You're gonna need it.

No we do not consider form submissions to the form at pinktv.com to be free trial users! I do consider them to be valid prospects, but nothing more than that. Since we uploaded that form back in July we have had less than 3000 submissions. I assume many of those submissions are industry people, as we have not yet commenced consumer advertising and have only advertised within the adult industry to-date.

The enormous trial subscriber base I referenced before is the current number of paying members to adult websites with whom we have partnered. By nature of there existing subscription to our partner sites, users will be given access to pink tv for a specific period of time for free. We will begin opening portals sometime in the next 60 days. Immediatley after we make the consumer site live at pinktv.com. We are currently partnered with 7 Major adult site operators in both Europe and The USA. We anticipate adding atleast 3 more major partners during the 1st quarter of 2006.

Had you read my other posts within this thread, you would realize that your comment is without basis.

Thankfully, we received a full refund from the Aviation company. They were supposed to have a different banner that read "It's Not Porn, It's Pink TV," but instead they ran the party banner twice. Nevertheless, I wasn't overly concerned. Pink TV had over 25 staff, 18 models, and endless issues to deal with at that event. Not to mention the crew neccesary to transform our backlot and studio B into a night club, we were quite frankly swamped. I'm just glad as little went wrong as did. All in all, Summer Internext worked out well for us.

JV

reminds me of many companies but the worst was Hanco Entertainment.

they came out the gate just like pinktv and spent like 400k at internext and they wnet bankrupt 6 months after at about 2 mil.

there booth was the hottest booth ever it was a mini night club cost them 100k back when the big booth shows happend

you are correct, I should have RTFT. My bad.

I was operating in an entirely different industry during the days of Hanco. I don't know anything about their company aside from what I have read in this thread. From what I have read so far, it appears the only thing my company has in common with Hanco is that we threw a big party and so did they.

Sounds like a pretty compelling reason to group us both in the same category. I'm more and more impressed by the thougtfull commentary I read on this board each time I log in.

JV

I think I should just create a Pink TV Q&A thread. It would be easier than continuing this misleadingly named thread.

JV

I posted without reading the full thread. but I do have say when there is this much hype before launch it never has the bang thats suppose to follow.

I've seen it all since 96

Either way I wish you all the best in success.

Don't worry dude, anyway this is GFY!

You are wrong.

I remember that booth - waaaay over the top. But at least It made me curious about who they were. Boy did they implode fast....

One born every minute I guess. <-- this is not in reference to pinktv btw, just as an old school webmaster I have seen easy come and easy go so many times its not funny. Can anyone say Like Whoa?

SWOIT!!

PinkTV is spending a lot of money, but they are putting solid investments in content and great production. They have a unique, fun vision for adult content. Yeah, the drinks at the party were expensive but overall it was hella tight.

so where is pinktv at now?

I also knew the models that azure shot and you guys shot almost the same ones - don't know about girls making the cut but I do know who was used and who didnt get paid...

so anyone know where they are at?

Pink TV has and is quietly (well most of the time ;)) preparing to blow your socks off!

i have seen the future and it is ALL Pink

http://www.onemodelplace.com/member.cfm?P_ID=154214

did someone say pink?

It is always good to be a trust fund baby.

If that is true ($400k), who is in control of their checkbook?

interesting

It is amazing to me that nearly seven years later the Hanco legend still grows...

For those that were close to the situation it was clear why the ship went down

One thing that is interesting is that had the bugs been worked out, had the right person been brought in to run the infrastructure, Hanco landed a jaw dropping number of accounts at the famed show.

The team had some impressive players on it, the business model was sound, and the products at the time were cutting edge and forward thinking.

Never underestimate the power of ego...

for the record

booth 150k
concert 100k
new limo 72k

what would have saved the company

priceless

This will be my last post.... see you all on the other side

The irony is the last post is regarding Hanco

Last post? Nice not talking to you over the weekend. Pool was fun

i couldn't agree more.

Nothing like making a thread about how someone fucked up and fucked off and had no business sense and then having them come in and defend themselves...

Kinda takes all of the fun out of it.

So lets pretend they never posted...

Yeah, they suck man.. I have no idea what they do. I am to fucking lazy to type their URL into my browser... They suck.
