how is that an insult? if you have not mastered the basics of the english language it is safe to deduce what you are writing is lacking.

lol .. a little harsh ?

I am not flaming you , but what did you do to stop .xxx before it got off the ground ?

Why are you upset with .xxx ( i.e. why do you propose a boycott ) ?

How do you feel about manwin ? Do you feel manwin should be boycotted ?

+ 1

Make them pay a premium. They wanted to be special, so let them be.

Do you want your business to be listed as a terrorist supporter?

ive already been contacted by webmasters asking about .xxx gallery submits..thus the reason for my post...

will you buy content from me for the same amount for every .xxx client i turn away? in that case i might consider that.

and i have actually discussed with them in public while most were just hiding behind their keyboards.

:thumbsup

This has officially become part of my signature. Thanks Shap!

They might even give it to you so they can say you have a .xxx

Possibly, if you believe that most of the adult industry is against .xxx

It is GFY

:thumbsup

:1orglaugh

Many people here are pissed at .XXX because they can't afford $100/year for a domain.

Just look at how excited they get when registrars have a $1 day special. :1orglaugh

I wouldn't have found this thread amusing if the OP had started it before manwins.

I thought tgp's and link lists created their own page long rule lists, not from what the jist of what was going on in forums.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

This is probably why you will never be successful.

We have stood together against MR though :2 cents:

I agree. Any smart business person should spend 10x as much for an inferior product just because they can.

As evidenced by people starting threads every other day asking if people received their latest payment.

Sounds like MR are so screwed now that they can't afford the payouts, so enough people have jumped ship :2 cents:

Nobody was paying attention but that ship was already sinking.

The big difference between the tube issue and this is that whereas most of the vocal anti-tube people here are passively and publicly griping about a decentralized opponent while hoping for a pretend law to be both passed and enforced by a generally anti-porn government, Manwin is aggressively attacking a singular opponent on the basis of an existing law and are willing to use their considerable amount of leverage by refusing to send traffic to .xxx domains.

I also saw in another thread about how Manwin will still send traffic to other websites owned by companies that have .xxx domains. Doing so may piss off the white knight crowd but I think it shows how they are honed in on the enemy and are going straight for their throats. It's beautiful.

Missteps and all, the ICM has pretty much steamrolled through their opposition (such as the FSC) much in the same way the Germans steamrolled through Poland and Czechoslovakia. Now they're in Russia. And it just started snowing.

Also keep in mind that the anti gfy mob herd types like stocktrader23 are ostensibly no different than the gfy mob herd types like gideongallery and both are equally irrelevant. No matter what side you take on any issue, there will be idiots who have somehow arrived at that same conclusion, be it through some weird, crazy or semi-retarded path. Nobody should worry about those idiots. Period. Everything should be viewed independently on a case by case basis. with that being said, it is still somewhat understandable to consistently bet against the gfy mob herds because they are overwhelmingly wrong. It's just that doing so in this case means you'd also wagering on whether or not you think Lawley brought enough long underwear to keep his little guy warm during what looks to be a brutal, brutal Russian winter.

You are a complete fucking idiot. I have always and will always speak my mind. I am not your typical GFY moron that talks out of his ass and to treat me as such shows your severely limited mental capacity even if it's only on this issue.

There is no other way to put it. You are an ignorant motherfucker.

Have a good day. :thumbsup

Everyone I know would l o fucking l at this. I have been a step ahead of the masses here since the day I registered. What cracks me up about the whole thing is that it's not even like I'm some super genius or a fortune teller, I just have common sense. It's really not some difficult to understand concept and the fact that so many have it so wrong is :1orglaugh. There is a chance that Manwin will stop .xxx but I put that chance at well under 1%. In other words, everyone should be ready for a world that includes .xxx, like it or fucking not.

Wrong. So long as they are still in business and so long as anyone is still promoting their websites, MR is winning the war. Most people on gfy just want to troll and bitch. It really is a shame too bc that entire shitshow of a company could easily be destroyed within 2-3 months, I'm just not willing to spend all of my time and solely my own money to make it happen at the moment.

What metric did you use to arrive at 'less than 1%'? A Paul Markhem spreadsheet?

:1orglaugh

Clueless. You have as much of a chance at destroying that company as you do winning a women's gold medal in the olympics.

Jesus Christ, can we unban the trolls that at least had more sense than the current crop?

Common fucking sense and 10+ years of watching this shit go down.

I know it's hard for those without to grasp but common sense can tell you a lot of things. You don't have to study something from top to bottom to have a damn good idea of how things will go. It's not like we even have to wait that long to see how .xxx is embraced, hit me a month after registrations open and let me know just how bad off they are doing and how the whole industry is boycotting them. :1orglaugh

Sorry, but you are completely wrong here. People moan and complain about Gideon all day long,in the majority of arguments his reasoning is bewildering and baffling, simple fact is though he is correct.
Have tubes gone? no. Has there been a major copyright breakthrough? no. Are torrents still available? yes. Piracy is as strong as ever. Did Gideon predict this? You can bet your sweet ass he did.

it sucks, the whole piracy issue and it even sucks that he supports it but Gideon knows his shit.

is there any clear break through in sight? no. sopa is a joke

exactly, its about money, if people can make money from xxx they will, if they lose money from not being able to conduct business with brazzers they will drop xxx
people have no long term vision, me included.

The only webmaster who I know boycotted Brazzers because of the tube sites was klen telaris and I am not even 100% sure that he has any traffic.

everyone else was happy to make easy money with juggcash and selling hardlinks to porntube (again me included).

People like to spout of the idealistic tripe of "If we all stick together then" which is noble but never works in reality. GFY is not the adult internet, we will not control what others do online and we damn sure won't scare them with some boycott or another. If every single user here treated .xxx as scum there would be many more that would embrace it and continue on with business.

It's like they have some misguided idea that GFY = the adult internet when there are so many silent players and huge companies that have never even seen this website.

Knowing all of that, you would be a damn fool to cost yourself money on principle. You can say 'we should do x' but we know ahead of time that it's not going to happen so any worthless gesture you make is just that. What many will do is publicly say one thing then wait for someone else to take the heat before saying "yeah, we are too since everyone else did". This is true in every industry and always will be.

Now if we had an actual lobby that took votes on how everyone would act AND we could make people stick to that we might have a chance. Unfortunately, Lawley or whoever is about to have more money than everyone on GFY combined and they already know how to use it to their benefit.

Please elaborate as to why you think they could not be destroyed.

How will you know if they are doing well or not ? Even though you claim to possess a supernatural level of common sense, it goes without saying that you are completely and entirely irrelevant when it comes to any and all industry issues. Pretty sad for someone with 10+ years of experience. Have you thought about applying your supernatural common sense to another industry? Maybe one where you'd at least have a sliver of a chance at mattering? Or has your supernatural common sense told you that it's best to stay in adult even if it means you have to do so without the aid of a graphic designer ?

You mistake me for someone that wants to be relevant? I stay away from people, stay away from shows and don't do anything to be relevant. My goal is to make money and I do that in mainstream both online and off as well as adult. I only matter to me and my family and intend to keep it that way. Also, I have no idea what you mean when talking about a designer, I hired one last week but never "needed" one in my life.

What's the matter Tube Boy, is he hitting a little too close to home?

Perhaps you should take this opportunity to log out and give your act a rest.

God knows it needs one.



.

What the fuck are you talking about? :1orglaugh

I'm not expecting MR to be around much longer personally :2 cents:

I view it this way... If you don't need the money, then you can take a personal stance against it if you want to. Or, if you feel strongly enough, you could be willing to take a hit to stand up for that.

Beyond that, it comes down to figuring out what you might "lose" as a result of accepting, or not accepting the galleries. Will you lose more revenue by accepting the galleries from others taking a stance? Will you lose traffic from those that might stop trading with you? Will your rep take a hit that will result in a loss of revenue and/or traffic or narrow your future business options?

Some have said it's a business decision and that's correct to a certain extent. But the business decision has to take in more than just the immediate cash in the account.

Well said Tempest :thumbsup:thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup

It only took me 10+ years to figure that out lol

[QUOTE=stocktrader23;18604095]


Paying $100 for a damn domain name has no bearing on what other services are worth. $100 per YEAR is such a non issue in business and spending an extra $90 on your domain does not make you rich / stupid / anything else. If I go buy a .com from someone for $500 everyone should charge me extra because I'm stupid? :1orglaugh




You said it, I didnt! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
