EXCELLENT post Steve
At the end of the day, there are a few things that have worked for businesses for years such as honesty, patience, hard work and a high value on relationship building (both customer and vendor).
Unfortunately, like any fledgling industry (and let's face it - in the grand scheme of things, this IS a fledgling industry) there are plenty of bad guys and wannabes. I've always respected your ethics Steve and always considered you not only one of the GOOD guys, but a good friend as well

1999... that year I sure remember, can't believe it's already 10 years!
Never tried your program but watched you from a parallel road mate
Wonder if I would have become rich if I'd have tried Lightspeed hehe
Guess I still feel like a rookie and still can't figure out many things in this business. but fortunately I have found many guides along the road
Hope to see an update of this post in 2019 mate! Now get outta the pits, this road has too many miles ahead yetComment

Steve, your an amazing person and this was very well written. I hope to see you at Internext and buy you a drink! If you can't remember who I am, I'm the dude at the PB mansion with the long black hair and friends with Odie.
p.s. I'm emailing you a proposal with some business we can, I'm hoping maybe we can work something out.Ross Horwitz

Great post Steve. I'm amazed this hasn't turned into a hate-fest yet.Comment

Go figure and when I posted in your return thread, you ignored me completely... but I still admire your company and work in the industry nonetheless.

Certainly not my intention to ignore anyone. I saw your "welcome back" in my 20 questions thread, but you didn't ask a question, so I just moved past it to answer the other questions as quickly as I could.
Let me make up for it now by saying thank you for the warm welcome, and let me know if I can be of any help with your Lightspeed promotions.

you still haven't explained what the apology is for - the industry is filled with scum, you played fairly - so why are you apologizing?I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

Hi Steve,
Do you have a timeline on your tube killer? And/Or give any hints about what it could be?

I am all for people being more open, honest and humble in this industry. This potential change would help everyone in the industry.
I am just wondering if struggling or being in trouble means going from $500k a year to $200k or $1mil to $400k? I am frequently leery of adult webmasters/program owners who have been in this business for ten or more years saying that they are struggling. Is it really that bad?

Well, it depends on what your costs are. Your business always wants to be in the growing stage. When you are growing, you take on more liabilities - bigger office, bigger mortgage, more staff. It works because they're still making money to cover the costs and then some. When successful companies decline, they could be in trouble if they have too many liabilities. I believe that's the trouble AFF found themselves in. Very successful company, just up to their eyeballs in financial obligations.
So, it's relative... how much you expand vs. what you actually makeLast edited by Ava Knight; 07-24-2009, 08:46 PM.Comment

IMO we lost it when we forgot who the customer was, what he wanted and how to keep him coming back to the Internet to buy his porn.
We blame everyone but the big problem is the customer chooses not to buy.
Porn has always been about supplying new content day in and day out that meets the customers needs. It was never about throwing up sites with 50-100 videos shot by the same person, often without the skills needed to get a good performance from a model and without the variation to make the site appealing. And we all followed the wrong experts, if they were so good would we be doing so badly?
Which was the route so many took. Eventually the customer decided to not buy and found Tube sites. Lots of content, new content every day and no rip offs.Last edited by Paul Markham; 07-25-2009, 02:08 AM.Comment

Written very eloquently Steve....however the utopian pipe dream of it working out sounds like the script of a movie called "Jerry Maguire"......all but without the love interest (Dorothy Boyd). Everyone has a Rod Tidwell mentality about "Show me the Money"....So it was a VERY noble post Mr. Jerry Maguire but their are way too many Bob Sugar's out there now....and it wont EVER change even if you paid for it yourself and repackaged it with YOUR name on it.

Steve, like many others here I don't see what you are apologizing for, I don't think you ever snubbed out any newbies. Being in the biz on and off since '96 I have seen and dealt with a lot of the "players" of the industry and you always came across as a well grounded individual that never pissed off or on the little guys. You created your own niche and took it to a higher level. Fuck the haters. We have never done biz but the wife and I did enjoy sharing some laughs with you at the Palms Vegas sky bar last January. Godspeed Lightspeed.

Nice post Steve! Nice to see 18 year old retarded surfmasters haven't taken over this board and business yet( <--- seeing some of the posting it looks like they are gaining ground tho). You must be so freaking broke to post something this emotional up here. It really shows me you have some balls and your brains in the right place. I bow to you

I hear the guy does not like you but this one was good.. you have to give him that.Real players are still making bank, still innovating, do not attend shows, or throw parties to stroke their egos.

I think the Jerry Maguire analogy is very appropriate in this industry and you make a good point.
We all want someone to "Show me the money!!" but there is certainly more to life and success than just that.
