      Totally agree with Shap here.

      I recall we even polled our members once, and it was clearly evident facebook was cutting into their NN surfing time.

      Before Facebook and the like - there was nothing interesting on the net to do except watch porn.

      It's a prefect storm..

      Facebook <- over an hour per day for most people.

          Social Networks, Games, Dating Sites, Blogs, Hulu etc... All of these things are just providing new things for the end-user to do. They aren't taking anything from adult. They are simply providing what the masses want. Something I think adult has long since forgotten. Who really wants to look at and pay for 20 porn site memberships at $29.95 from shady companies that are all pushing crappy Gonzo bullshit anyway?

          Let's face it, adult is tired and has lost it's luster. Nobody seems to be trying to advance it anyhow. Adult used to push and lead technology, now, adult is just watching mainstream and trying to copy it.

          Good luck to everyone!

            Like most stats...that takes into account ALL people. Including kids and teenagers. When you have teenagers that spend 8 to 10 hours a day at facebook, chat rooms, and playing games and then you average that time in with a guy jerking off in 5 minutes on a porn site...it tends to skew the numbers.

                It all chips away at us. It's not any one thing, it's everything. We've not been attacked by just one or two bees, we're being attacked by the entire nest and every nest in the surrounding area.

                Social media + all the free porn you could ever want + the sense of entitlement to free porn (and free everything else online) + piracy + slow economy + everything is saturated + loss of millions of credit cards + online games + online dating + shitty porn sites + fucking your members around + carding + anything else you want to add to it = SERIOUS DECLINE OF THE PORN BUSINESS.

                I don't know whats going to happen but I know most of us here wont be here when the dust settles. There is no light at the end of this tunnel for most of us.

                  It's over. You've lost them. They are not coming back. You can not close Pandora's box once it's been opened, and no cats are going back into The Bag.

                  It's hold on, adapt however you can and try to morph into something that will allow you to continue to profit.

                      social networking and gaming sites are like network tv... we are not in competition with them. People get bored of watching friends and CSI then they want to see someone like Rachel naked and fucking.... or maybe David Caruso? That's when they change it to the porn network or load up one of our sites. ;)

                        Paul seriously shut up about members areas - you're out of touch, you're referring to the crappy members areas the big PPS programs had years and years ago. it's not relevant anymore, members areas these days for the most part are top notch, most big programs with exclusive content offer their entire network of exclusive content sites for one price.
                        people aren't staying away because of shitty members areas. the shady billing practices for 15 years have definitely sworn many people off joining another adult site. who would join an adult paysite after experimenting with a 'free trial - your credit card will never be billed' and then ending up with 300 dollars on your credit card statement.

                        there is absolutely nothing anybody can do with a members area to get 20 something's to pay for porn, or anything else for that matter online, short of sending porn stars directly to their homes to fuck them.

                        i'm glad i'm in a niche that appeals to old bastards, there's still some life left in it because of that.
                        I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                            I'd say its more like everybody under 30.

                            But speaking more to this point, IMHO, the sheer amount of "homemade" or self made porn online now created by this "online" generation is a far bigger threat to the perceived value of porn than anything else.

                            Call me an old dinosaur but I never thought people would stop paying to see drop dead gorgeous models get their asses turned inside out and pro-lapsed for coke money.

                            People now seem more likely to pay to see the 5/10 girl nextdoor give a bad blowjob (ie, ex-gf sites clips4sale, etc).

                            Strange times.

                              Interesting you mention this article. Last week, my own network and my largest clients' networks reached a new milestone: Most traffic now comes from FACEBOOK's "like" and "share" function.
