"The Briana Banks Scam" expose on LukeFord.com
 

Read all about it: http://lukeford.com/2010-08-25/the-briana-banks-scam/

Is this article true? Partly true? A complete fabrication? Inquiring minds want to know.

fun read but nothing more then what most people claim here either.

At least the guy behind the Briana Banks site spend his time building a site and selling porn, intead of spending his time talking about other people's sites, like "luke ford" does.

It's not like its the first time a pornstars websites have been done by a male. How many of the female pornstars that post here do you REALLY think are the real person?

I think Vendzilla could probably clear up truth from rumor if he's around.

The article is boring, poorly written, poorly researched, and smacks of jealousy.

As an ex-Playboy guy myself, I'd have every incentive to rip this project, but I can't say enough good about Vendzilla. Top top top guy in my book.

Has Vendzilla rubbed somebody up the wrong way or can whoever wrote that article both not read and not understand things like twitter promotion?

didnt know lukeford knew html

BTW not sure wat the actual "scam" would be?!

Yes his design is poor and yes he uses Zombaio (ugh) but whats the scam exactly? The twitter part? Or the working for playboy part?

funny how luke ford points his finger at the gfy for being a gossip site.

The age-old "is this guy a turd or a tard?" question. Looks like LF may be both, from the limited exposure to the site (just this article) that I had.

haha i knew that guy was a fucking twit...all he does is post on here about obama 24/7

Vendzilla is the real deal. I hooked him up with Briana to do her myspace page a few years ago.

If you don't believe me, ask Briana, I was her roadie and still good friends with her.

honestly .. who cares
if some former RK/Playboy employee got a gig working for briana banks and relaunching her site good for him.
if it doesnt work out .. sucks for her but who the fuck are we to say anything?

:thumbsup

luke ford doesn't run that site anymore - some porn chick does - luke is religious jew dude now.

whattttt lmfao

I stopped reading at "Luke Ford"...

I can't believe I just read that.

He is jealous of Ven, if you read past LF articles he has a definite hard on for Briana.

lukes real site http://lukeford.net/blog/

some porn chick won the original site in a bet or something.

I got a good chuckle out of this as well :winkwink:

you are a few years behind.

LF was sold to scott fayner
scott claimed he sold it to taylor rain (total bs)
scott sold it to someone who runs it now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_Ford

In August 2001, after urgings of his rabbi, Ford sold his main web site, LukeFord.com, to Netvideogirls.com for $25,000, and created lukeford.net, which avoided pornography, and focused more on Jewish issues.

yeah sorry i am not luke ford fanboy don't know every detail of his life.

and net video girls no longer has shit to do with it now

i used to write for it when fayner owned it.

No need for Vendzilla to clear up anything.

He did in fact work for Playboy, and he did in fact more or less run Club Jenna. He has all of the porn stars on speed dial on his cell phone. He is in fact good friends with Briana Banks, and she is fully aware of what Vendzilla is doing.

I've been working Vend (we're providing the cam solution for member chats etc for her) and he's been a great person to work with and so has Briana. This guy who wrote this is an ass clown and obviously jealous. He needs to worry about his own smurf design before bashing on others.

OK, let me clear up a couple things
I was the Club Jenna Webmaster for a year, Contact Eric for confirmation
and I ran the CMS for RealityCash, not RealityKings for about a year
Anyone that has spent anytime on GFY knows I worked for Playboy, the fact my name was in CYAN was a dead give a way

I got to know some of the girls and have been friends, I started running Briana's MySpace page and didn't take any money for it. Thought is would be better to have a friend.

Have I been trying to work deals with Briana's name, wouldn't you? Truth is I'm getting more people contacting me, than the other way around. There are a couple people trying to work deals on our behalf too.

Am I an SEO expert? No, But I read stuff at SEObook everyday and I'm doing some things to improve. Her new site ranks 19 to 22 on google for Briana Banks already, considering all the sites with Briana's name on it, I'm doing pretty good.

I've only been talking about SEO with two people, one isn't in this business, that other is trying to get me to sign over control of everything, yeah that's going to happen.

Don't like the design, yeah the hun does pretty good with it's design, Brianabanks.com has had it's design broken for months in IE, but someone is going after me? Plans in place to get new design when we upgrade to elevatedX

I've pissed off a couple people it seems, GOOD, People have been ripping off Briana her whole career and I won't let that happen again. This is a business and mistakes are going to be made, but this business will remain in the hands of Briana and myself. Briana has final say on everything.

Don't like the name Briana's Bank, are you serious? I think it's a great name for an affiliate program, maybe you liked Starlite bucks better?

Where did I say that one biller is better than cascade billing? Get your facts straight.

And as far as Luke Ford can go?

we have a saying at GFY, go fuck yourself and the grandma that ran Club Jenna
Give Scott Stevens or Joe Lacky a call next time to confirm you moron

can you address the claim "none of the graphics on the page have valid alt tags.."?

Wasn't doubting his resume, prob should have stated that differently if it came off that way. Was trying to say to OP- if you want to know, go to the source. :thumbsup

We don't see eye to eye on politics, but I have always felt Vendzilla was good peeps and knew he was not bullshitting about his relationship w/ Briana.

the lack of support/positive comments re: vendzilla speaks volumes to the credence of the luke ford expose.

go to Brianabanks.com, you see any alt tags? I looked

I'll add some right now if that will make everyone happy

Never gave that article the time of day Vend. I got some seo stuff that helped me propel a few solo girl sites I worked on from 3rd page on Google to 1st link. Hit me up anytime and I'll be more than happy to share. Good luck!

Your page title shouldn't be Sex Videos - Briana Banks Sex Videos.

I would change it to Briana Banks Pornstar or something like that.

Add text to the front page as well.

Agreed. Who goes to that site for facts anyway?

What Luke doesn't mention is Vendzilla spamming all my e-mail addresses with this lame site.

wrong!

LF sold it to my former boss who hired Fayner to run it who eventually sold it to Fayner who then sold it to mallcom and let Taylor run it. Thats why Lukeisback was started


oops nevermind that was already covered

I haven't spammed anyone, just getting people with sites that say Official site to change the link.
If you go to brianabanks.com you won't find anything that says official site, why? because it isn't

Vendzilla and I are pretty much extreme polar opposites politically, but business-wise, I've never heard anything negative and in fact, am looking to see what we can do together. He's always been helpful, back when he modded one of the other boards and was always spot on when I needed something taken care of.

lukeford.com hasn't been anything even close to when Luke was actually running it...back when a couple people I might or might not know used to drop him emails once in awhile ;-)

For the record, I think Briana's Bank is a great name for the affiliate program...much better than something more generic...

Well I do need to add some dating programing on Briana's site

I'll send you an email

I have worked with Vendzilla over the years on several projects. While he was at Playboy and recently. He's a hard worked, great father and very awesome friend. Keep doing what you’re doing V and keep on keeping on like “Joe Dirt” would say. Briana’s site will do well. Don't worry about the drama and make it big!

Man that guy is a twat who needs to piss and moan about something...all the time.

Did Zuzana do the design of that site? It looks like her work to me.

Maybe 1 out of 100

Vend,

Did your politics piss someone off?? :)

Sites cool, big name actress, etc but the design is kinda old mano....

Mabey talk with Peter at, www.kreadult.com and see if his team can help you out...

Peace

Todd

wow, what a credible place to get news and facts. a gossip site. everyone should get their news from sites that have slander and liable laid as the foundations.

No, I didn't do the design for this. I was hoping I was going to work with him on this since I've enjoyed him as a client in the past, but unfortunately we weren't able to come together for this project. I wish him and Briana all the luck with this site

who is the porn chick?

We will work on something together in the near future, I've always loved your work

Thanks V. You know where to find me :) I'm always around and working :thumbsup
