How nice, the reverse question

Back to the drawing board to find the, non-thought off yet, solution?

I think Steve already answered my question earlier in the thread

Some good info Steve!

GM, and lots of companies are DEAD, and it has NOTHING to do with tube sites. Tube sites are easy to blame, but we've always fought piracy on the net in some form.

Wait. Tubes didn't kill GM??

Bastards around here have been lying

I left GFY when I felt like it was being overrun by people that run illegal tube sites and laugh in the faces of legitimate webmasters and content producers. Lately, it seems like those people have moved away from GFY, so I'm back. I've been focusing on bulding my own internal traffic sources since I left.

i suggest you take a look again, if anything the number of people who realize that "illegal" tube sites are protected by the safe harbor provision of the DMCA has increased.

When you left people kept arguing with me on those legal points

now those who hired a lawyer to check it out, know that i was right about those legal points

5. Yes, I could start again, and I have a new business plan that is totally different than anything on the net right now. People say "Adapt or Die", I prefer "Adapt and Kill". I have a tube killer in the wings.

love to see the tube killer you came up with

although i will be the first one to predict that it will fail.

I like the sound of that.

Steve, you're an inspiration.

Steve,
BTW... I have been trying to sign up for your solo girl board for a long time now and can not. Just tried again and got the same message:

Failed sending email :: PHP ::

DEBUG MODE

Line : 234
File : emailer.php

Please take a look at that. I would like to be part of that board as I have some solo projects going live soon. Thanks.

Steve, have you taken the time to examine your need for ego stroking attention from a group of miscreant porn slingers?

LOL indeed that is a funny post. And as Steve correctly said we all have an ego.

Still it was all cool as shit. I have only existed in this biz because of leaders who have gotten it done since day one.

15. Rule #1 of business: "Find a need and fill it." If you feel there is a REAL NEED for your paysite, then launch it. I personally can't imagine a need for more non-niche paysites right now. If you open a paysite now, it better be a GREAT one.

I'm not so sure where you get the word "non-niche" from since I use the wor d "Niche" very much in my post

We've tried various ideas to monetize the mobile market. It changes so fast, I haven't seen any home runs yet.

Thanks, I'd like to come, but my 25th highschool reunion is the same time. I still have to decide.

I've never compared net worth statements with any of them. Anyone can spend a million to make a million, its more about what you KEEP than what you SPEND. "Rich" is relative.
