Worst part about it was the same article talked about Veoh.com dropping all the porn. Then the fleshbot article showed up in Veoh's forum. It was mad dogs on steak for a while there.

So today, fleshbot turned their traffic firehose on xtube.com, and again mentioned pornotube. I don't know how xtube fared - they just added hardware and it seemed to be ok - but our traffic went way up again, though it never really slowed since the first article..

Another site got a mention on fleshbot today - a blog called http://www.queerbites.com. It had a nice shot of traffic as well. This was just a link under the article but the traffic is still heavy. Fleshbot rocks!!

Xtube was bragging how they were ordering a brand new server a few weeks ago. Hahahaha

Just another way to give free porn away to surfers and encourage them to steal our content. Just because there might be a way to use it for promotion doesn't mean I think it's a good thing, anymore than I think Kazaa or any other p2p site is good. I suppose you support Guba too?

I have no use for Guba.
But a lot of the sponsors are paying to be listed there just like they did with password trading sites.

If they're stealing your content, they have to be members. Unless you already give away full length videos.. if they are members, you got paid.

If they post your non-public content on any of our sites, it will get reported, and it will get removed.. the user reporting system on xpeeps and qpeeps is working really really well. Why? Because other industry members hate seeing that shit and report it quickly.

Kazaa and Guba are completely different animals. You're talking apples and fruitcakes here.

The beta site has only been up for a couple weeks. It's waay too early to make conclusions about the biz model, or the way the site will be used, or the way we'll handle things. The sky is not falling.

xtube has a good model. Their new hardware seems to be doing the job. Once you get past the front page the product placement thins out and there's a lot of good content - mostly amateur stuff.

Our model is really entirely different. We don't directly sell product on these sites - it's all referral based. Plus, as mentioned many times, we let all of our affiliates and partners make money on our bandwidth. It's simple - the better they do, the better we do.

Pornotube looks like ass right now. Tags aren't updating properly, some of the user links are snafu'ed, etc. In a week or two the next version rolls out and let me say - it looks awesome. "Come over to the dark side" - hehe...

Funny thing is people cant recover fast enough from the last punch of xpeeps to even ask themselves what is next?
