The US dollar slides again.

And we take a 10% cut in earnings.

Dollars slide against the CZ Krown this year.

So all you guys need to buy more content so I can afford my life style.

Come pimple puppy tell me I live in a third world country.

One of the reasons why we do not shoot custom. The prices those guys pay are stuck in 1998.

Affiliates please take note, this guy buys content based on the personality of the shooter and not the quality of the porn. That should really help you convert.

Yeah, I just invested a bit of spare change into content.. I just hope the dollar doesn't go much lower.. otherwise it'd been better buying it later.

...I can just hope the usd climbs back up now that I've made my purchases.

You keep talking shit about my country unprovoked why would I buy from you? You have nothing nice to say about America all you do is bitch complain and whine, bleh its not personality its called CHARACTER. And you are right I do business based on the character and value of the people I work with. There are plenty of good hard working people in this business without a chip on their shoulder to buy content from and do business with. Sorry Paul this isnt personal but you rub me the wrong way when you consitently talk shit about USA. Im sure your content is great, actually heard good stuff about it, so one lost customer wont hurt ya anyways.

Seriously... you have a problem son. Get you head sorted and stop claiming shit which is clearly untrue.

Paul is totally correct in certainly not out of order in his comments re US currency - the rates are what they are (unless you want to prove otherwise) and a source of concern for both US folks and other countries.

Get a grip for Gawd's sake and take that silly chip off your shoulder my man.

Did you look at the chart? The dollar is down 2CZK.

While I think Splum is an idiot, let's not pretend that the dollar is becoming worthless in CZ after it's "slide this year".

Sure is... around 22.4357 CZK currently - tho has been worse at 21.6990, but - let's get real - there is more than a strong possibility it will drop below even the lowest figure yet.

Sheesh... just doing a US/Euro history... Euro was converting at .88 cents - and now $1.27 - approx 30% difference.

Time for a substantial price hike in dollar signups plus payment methods in other currencies.

Take a look at this 5 year graph:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=USDEUR=X&t=5y
Dollar/Euro went from around 1.2 to 0.7855

Fair enough Webby.

Funny thing is... looking at that chart... the CZK is the currency that's "slid" recently. It's ok, though.

That's actually more like a 45% difference. A .39 cent increase from .88 cents to $1.27 is 45% of .88 cents. I've seen shifts of 12% in the exchange rate within the last 6 months abroad. . Regardless, it sucks ass when you're dealing in US currency, but there's not much to be done about it this second. Just hold on for the ride.

Yea.. I really need to grab a few more calculators Every one is kinda screwed here now.

The plus side is it is an excellent time for buying up stuff at dollar values - good stuff, like real estate etc. Got a good few people dumping money (GBP and Euros) into property investments which are expressed in dollar values. Basically means a UK person is buying an eg.. 4 bedroom home/pool/blah in a few acres of grounds for 150K GBP - basically stuff that would cost $1.4 - $1.8 mill in the UK. (Only difference is the climate is better)

But sure.. on net stuff it's pretty much messed, but that will change.

You are an idiot and that's official.

I own property in the US, a company in the US, file a tax return, got a bank account, Credit Card and an accountant in the US, my Mother who I support lives in the US. I visit the US more than any country in the world for my holidays, because of choice and not just to see my Mum.

I've been up the Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty, smoked dope in Greenwich Village, been to Washington, Memphis, Florida, the Keyes, 2 Disneylands, Memphis, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Las Vegas, San Francisco and alot more places in the US. Took all three wives to the US including the last two on honeymoon.

I like the US and the people. I could not live in places like LA, or So Cal, but I reckon I have a lot in common with a lot of Americans. I could live in San Fran, Nappa Valley or the Mid West, love NY but could not live there for long.

You see when I see someone I like fuck up I tell them about it. My enemies I stay quiet about so everyone can see where they screwed up.

You see you're not my enemy.

I do hate Bush though. But I reckon I'm with a lot of Americans on that one.

We in Czech have suffered more than those in the rest of EU, the GBP and the Euro are all down against the Krown.

Now you can tell me I hate GB and EU.

"Time for a substantial price hike in dollar signups plus payment methods in other currencies."

Why should US customers pay more because you dont live in the US?

Its not their problem, its yours. Slash expenses like any business, profit will remain the same.

I'd sure like to see the U.S. dollar go up again.

Why should US customers pay more because you dont live in the US?

Its not their problem, its yours. Slash expenses like any business, profit will remain the same.
Hell no! Let's get this right

Because the US dollar gets kinda screwed is not any reason for anyone else to take a cut in their earnings. The same applies to eg.. any product imported to the US - basically it costs more.

The world is not gonna take a price cut because the dollar drops - would you cut your costs if eg the Euro dropped? I don't think so

One bit that is possible... and on the table already, is the prospect of further reductions in the dollar. That is one dangerous load of crap and the clock is running on this - let's hope it does not happen.

What a very stupid comment with absolutely no understanding of business. Anyone successful in business will already have 'slashed expenses' if they have just an ounce of sense simply to make their profits as high as possible without the dollar entering into the equation.

Like it or not a weak dollar has a knock-on effect which will include some big price hikes for many goods in the USA if left unchecked. It's not only those outside the USA paid in dollars that need to worry about it.

Agree John! The currency imbalances on the porn biz is miniscule in comparison to the underlying major problem.

OK.. Only my worth, but smelling more and more there are going to be some very substantial changes in lifestyle soon (hell.. the ball is already rolling) and can see the dollar dropping substantially more in the years ahead. Until the ... almost "national credit card" is terminated and borrowing from other nations is vastly reduced (currently around $10 bill/day) and a reduction of trade deficits starts - there is little hope of much improvement. It's already not sustainable.

The problem is a simple one for those confused about why it should mean a hike. These days a HUGE percentage of goods are made outside of the USA, most in the Far East. The 'normal' currency for payment of these goods is the dollar. With the dollar worth a lot less for prolonged periods, manufacturers in the Far East must raise prices to compensate as their own bills are for the most part paid in local currency.

If you delve deeper into global economics there are even more knock-on effects but they are more difficult to explain and also better left to those studying economics these days that have a clue (amazing how many taking a course like that at college don't have much of a clue) rather than my own babbling.
