Thank you.

The Bros

I know. I've had a few icqs from the Bro Elite that told me I was done. :disgust

the fact that you entered the 11 page thread making comments on a fucking internet forum about your company's legal affairs(which you dont seem to understand) speaks volumes. What an idiotic move... other than that I dont give a fuck about you...

You know the truth. You bought an expired domain that had traffic. You had big plans for it after Youtube got big, and you realized you had gotten lucky with SexTube.com. There's nothing wrong with that, but what you're doing now is.

It will be interesting to see how you handle Chokers sites next. And all those other domain owners like maturesextube.com, freesextube.com, amateursextube.com, teensextube.com, etc... now that you believe they're all yours.

You really aren't a good guy, why try so hard to convince everyone else that you are? Just embrace your big bad wolf-ness. Actions speak louder than words right?

i dont see how anyone could confuse sextube.com with hardsextube.com sex tube is generic how you got a trademark i have no idea but i think 90% of people will agree that its totally bullshit.

not trying to hate but what your doing is bullshit and im kind of disappointed thought you were better then pulling bullshit like this.

do you feel the guys with sextube in their name are costing you any money, just curious?

Damn it. You've convinced my employees that you are right. Here is what they've been working on.

that thread would be 20+ pages if franck were around. +2 more pages for alienq.

just to be clear , I am the OG Head Br0 if people say otherwise they are wrong.

I have mini bros also

I think if sextube.com was trademark way before hand and hardsextube.com just started, then you can go on what with you are doing... but hardsextube.com is so far in the game that you just have to let it go.

Fuck...I guess this one is gonna go a hundred pages too. Nice marketing Shap :) Most guys would have to post up a shitload of naked bitches and/or a contest thread. I bow to your skills...

Who will the Bros side with in Shap vs WEG?
sextube (Shap) vs blacksextube.com / analsextube.com / asiansextube.com / latinsextube.com / (WEG)

Shap please get it touch with me asap! i need the "Bro Law" book where you found rule 4.3... apparently those fucks didn't send me my copy

:bowdown

Your jealousy of this guy is making you look a bigger cock than you normally are.

gotta be quick :winkwink:

12 pages this time?

People will stop posting when you stop trying to steal generic domains. You don't lose shit letting these sextube sites operate except some SE traffic, but thats cause they are looking for "Sex Tube Sites - ie, porn videos in tube format" not sextube.com

tgp traffic is worthless pass it on

I believe that his domain's traffic is actually growing in part because of sites like Hdkillers, Chokers, and WEG's. :2 cents: Now he wants to take them. Personally, I don't think he'll end up with them.

Let the tm issue go, this is not a precedent we need set in this industry with generic[ish] domains.

You know what I've noticed? It's all the gallery makers that have a hard on for me. Why is that? I don't see program owners hating me. I don't see any of my active affiliates hating me. In fact those guys are icqing me laughing telling me when will I learn to step away from GFY. Why is it that gallery makers hate me so much?

Yea no fucking shit Shap, we use generic domains to SEO because surfers search for generic terms like sex tube, porn tube, free porn, etc.

Paysites usually go for a branded domain.

Anyone got any kind of reports on the frequency of such terms around the time this domain was registed in 2006?

I keep seeing people say "generic terms" etc.. but how often were they used 3 years ago compared to now?

:2 cents:

I'm not a gallery maker, so don't forget us generic domain owners who stand to lose. There were a few of us in the thread trying to defend that angle. Not affiliates. Not program owners. Domain owners.

Are you going after Choker's tube sites? How does he feel about that?
Are you going after WEGs tube sites? How do they feel about that?

You said a lot of damaging things in the other thread. You, and mphalca(?) said all these domains with "SexTube" belong to you and they are infringing on your rights.

I'm pretty sure BV disagreed with what you're doing. Maybe I'm wrong there's a shitload of post in that other thread. ;)

But most of them aren't going to start trouble with other program owners, it's just not a good idea business wise. Even if it was just a "I disagree" with what you're doing.

Affiliates aren't going to say anything either, well most won't. You pay them money... Why the hell would they be like F U maaaaaan? Aint happening.

The domain was registered in 2004. When we started using it the frequency was very low. Searches were low and type ins were low.

Yes. I posted google trends earlier. The term tube wasn't that popular until youtube came along and then tube site became synonymous with video site

True you aren't a gallery maker.

I've said more than I should have about our TM. We intend on protecting our trademark. That's all I'll say about it. I'm not interested in stealing anyone's traffic or destroying their hard work. I'm only interested in protecting our trademark.

I am way more interested in domain names than galleries!

and then .. YouTube blew up. What do you suppose happened next? _____Tube.com domains became valuable, and searches started growing. UTube.com especially started getting hammered. Remember that? "Universal Tube said its Web site traffic jumped from 1,500 users per month to more than 2 million, paralyzing the site. "

Yes. I posted google trends earlier. The term tube wasn't that popular until youtube came along and then tube site became synonymous with video site

I definitely will get the popcorn out for WEG versus Twistys when it comes to asiansextube.com, etc. If anything the term "sex tube" and all the sites associated with are HELPING your domain. But no, thats not enough, you have to get greedy and try to take them all.

All due respect Shap, you deserve what you get from stuff like this.

You were the one who chose to be Mr Morally Superior and stir up shit and controversy for years over things that you considered unfair business practices.

Just because you've "seen the light" and have decided that surviving is more important than having a clean soap box to sit on doesn't make everything you said and did for the past 10 years go away.
You have become, in alot of ways, the very thing you used to bitch about in threads that went on for 10+ pages. You're the flag burning hippie who grew up to be a defense contractor.
You really shoudn't be surprised.


FWIW, I have no opinion about your actions either way, it's not my business, and you know I've always liked you. I'm just pointing out why when you do something it warrants 20 pages of outrage and when someone like hahaha does the same thing nobody notices. :2 cents:

You know Lenny you are dead on right. I brought this upon myself without question. Good point.

is Choker and others posted anything about this?

I want to think that he's still the flag burning hippie at heart. I hope he finds a way to protect his mark for his own purposes, without having to resort to aggressively taking everyones _____sextube.com domains.

I apologize for debating the issue so aggressively too.

Wow... Take a stab at the people who helped you where you are now... Good job. :321GFY
