MadThumbs.com --> a once legendary site :( - GoFuckYourself.com

Matyko · 04-06-2017, 05:30 AM

I used to dig MadThumbs.com when I was a gallery submitter.
There was a guy called Blake who occasionally replied messages, but he disappeared long time ago..
Why such things happen? This is a real question, as I really don't get it..

Who owns MadThumbs.com now?
Alexa rank 46k...

CaptainHowdy · 04-06-2017, 06:12 AM

How the mighty have fallen ...

jscott · 04-06-2017, 06:15 AM

The nastydollars ppl bought it from the original creater Mike long ago, (or so i thought)

And they still list SublimeDirectory and BigTits.com on top network sites, so i'm assuming yes, mindgeek i think

crockett · 04-06-2017, 06:24 AM

This is a product of what happens when one company comes in and buys everything pushing out all the competition.. They have no reason to even try to have good sites because there is no competition left..They can just run it as a cookie cutter and squeeze every last dime out of it while doing nothing to keep it going.

Used to trade with Madthumbs back in the day but didn't the same guy own other sites like 88x88 or what ever that one was that also used to be decent sized..

3xmedia · 04-06-2017, 06:42 AM

things like what? ND people bought it (as well as a few other big TGPs) years ago and turned it into a tube. you can blame them, but they could do whaterver they want with it. it still gets nice SE traffic, btw.

yuu.design · 04-06-2017, 07:10 AM

oh, one of my favorite sites ever

The Porn Nerd · 04-06-2017, 08:24 AM

Funny I was just logged into Mad Thumbs the other day to check on our uploads. Guess what? PURE SHIT VIEWS! We're talking like 200 views per video.

So it's not really worth it to upload there anymore (sadly).

bns666 · 04-06-2017, 09:46 AM

it's like that for a long time now, nothing new...

fuzebox · 04-06-2017, 10:23 AM

Are you suggesting they should keep it up so that people can submit 100x100 thumbnails for galleries with 12 photos or 3x 20 second video clips?

Absolutely NOT.
This could have been a good tube with good content.

Yes. It would probably send more traffic that way than the pathetic amounts it does now.

SpicyM · 04-06-2017, 03:44 PM

Since Blake left the site has been on autopilot. It now gives me some upload errors.

You don't know... maybe he just got an offer he can't refuse and sold the site.

It seems more and more tubes are abandoning their sites.

j3rkules · 04-07-2017, 03:40 AM

It is a pity, it used to be a very nice site.

TeenCat · 04-07-2017, 03:53 AM

now, i dont understand, why at least not put up there some nice looking theme, something with big thumbs and responsible, this is like some demo version of wp tube plugin ... very bad, and yeah, i remember that site also from long past ...

OK let's expose and define this dirty little secret about tubes like Mad Thumbs (and I could include about twenty others):

Since the rise of circle jerk ad networks (you know who they are) the owners of these smaller tubes realized it's easier and more profitable to just trade/sell whatever traffic they have than it is to staff a site, pay for employees, etc.

So that's it. They are on auto-pilot because they are more profitable that way. Since the "big tubes" have the SEO locked up there is no way for a Mad Thumbs (or many others) to grow and compete. The owners realized this, put their shit on auto, and went fishin'.

Could be a fun directory project: something like abandonedtubes.com the list will grow every day.

true, I thought it was a wp theme

sake · 03-03-2018, 09:25 AM

I don't think there is too many webmasters that were successful at running TGP (and TGP2) sites AND that were also successful at running a large tube site.

The only guy that comes to mind is youjizz.com.

Maybe it?s time for the small circuit to reinvent itself. Get all of the poeple together who want to put in the elbow grease instead of everything auto pilot and compete on a larger scale. There should still be some good quality ?smaller time? content producers and affiliates with broad skillsets to make free sites and properly seo them.

My experience tells me that competing for the word schoolgirl or teen is a tough battle, but competing for a name like tiffany teen or next door nikki is easy as hell.

Even with the big companies owning all of this stuff, there is still gold in the pot and room for our little hands to get into it as well. Hopefully I have motivated someone.
