JR - you're right, the genie doesn't go back into th bottle
so all we do is make the most $ we can hoping for the TGP movement to fall under it's own weight - Also while we move into other more profitable/enjoyable industries

also JR, many bullshit in this business? Who's really going to have the balls to say I lost money on the TGP spots I bought boo-hoo-hoo - think that's what you're really going to hear?

and the $ you're talking abut being made today doesn't compare what what was made in 1997-2001 - you know it and I know it

and I am one of the stupidest companies/webmaster ever by not saving/investing enough during that time to retire - so yes I somewhat deserve a retard tag, never thought the $ would stop rolling in

The vacations, house, cars and clothes, dinners, furnishing, theater and so on and so on were all very nice (many others were rumored to have pissed away their $ on dope or women or what have you, at least I got some substantial things)

I was too fucking stupid to read about, study and understand new market economies, it was all here for me to study, the Gold Rush, the Industrial Revolution, Radio, Movies, TV

So while I will piss on what I perceive to be some of the causes of the decline of revenue generation from the adult on-line industry I know I bought my own share of it as well


Read what I posted before. TGP owners do not earn a fraction of what they possibly could - no one can reasonably or logically dispute that



MOST/MANY TGP's do not depend on Sponsor Programs for the bulk of their income - they could not convert well enough to maintain reasonable profit margins so they went to selling gallery spots (which I must admit is a gr4eat way to monetize) but how long until those buying gallery spots can convert well enough to be profitable (I've expected it to happen sooner than now so ....)

So basically the TGP's really don't have to care about the sponsor or conversions, they have to PT Barnum and wait for the sucker to be born every minute

When that happens TGP's will need a new revenue generation model or they may go under

Truth be told, TGP'S and paysite no longer work together, TGP'S are the actual enemy of the Paysite - more so that P2P networks and Newsgroups
