I have and always have had a SERIOUS problem with any company that uses multiple front ends for a single member's area.
I had a huge fight with someone from a very large company (that shall remain unnamed now) back in 2000 for running 17 different tours, with all different niches, for one back end.
It is tantamount to fraud in my opinion and tons of companies do it. It's just not right to mislead the surfer in that manner.
If you're advertising a pregnant site, the site should have nothing but pregnant content in it, latin should have latin, ebony ebony, etc. I also object strongly to filler.
It just irks me to no end to see my huge competitors claim that they have 100K pics and a million videos in their latina site, but in reality the latin section contains maybe 10K latin pics and one latin video plugin, the rest is filler from their other sites. And we all wonder why the surfers have become gunshy.
In the redesigns of my site, I've even kept basically the same color scheme in my tours because I don't want surfers joining thinking that they've never belonged to the site before.
I have no problem with multiple tours, as long as they all use the same site name. I plan to have more than one tour now, and I may even change the color scheme on the next one, but it's still going to say Latina Pics all over it.
I get tons of rejoins to my site, but it's not because the guy doesn't remember he ever joined, he comes back because he liked the site. I've had some guys join 10 times over the last 4 years, but they knew what site they were joining. If a reseller of my site wants to build their own tour..fine, as long as they brand it clearly with my site name. Otherwise, it's deceptive advertising. In the real world, the FTC would shut that shit down in a heartbeat.
There is no valid reason to put different site names on tours leading to the same backend. I guess this falls under Nick's famous line, "we only have the morals we can afford", but in the end, it's still a scam.
