Quick Note

[Vick]

I keep hearing about how Bush being re-elected is going to be the death of on-line porn

We all knew the risks when we got into this business

I happen to think it's a great opportunity, the herd MIGHT get thinned but it's overdue

We all take our chances

Cry about it or profit from it

Guess what I've chosen to do

Bring on the prosecution!!!

due respect Vick, but doesn't that ideology sound a bit naive?

Vick, thinning the herd is always a nice thing. You are forgetting that when it comes to payment processors, the herd is already plenty thin enough. There will be more action there. That won't thin the herd, that will kill the online industry complete. We are thin already in the most vunerable spots, and the video industry would like nothing better than to have the online industry disappear, which will push people back to their products.

There seems to be a blissful ignorance here about how much the whole thing is on borrowed time. We are literally one dead processor away from mayhem, and one more away from nuclear winter. When the money goes away, the rest is pretty pointless. We are thin where it counts, taking money to the bank, and one well placed shot will bleed almost everyone out.

We will see how it turns out, and in the meantime, I will continue to hone my other businesses that don't involve CC processing for porn.

HERE??? Maybe elsewhere but some on Oprano that I know are very busy developing income sources outside porn and Visa.

Alex, there are plenty of webmasters who have their own credit card processing. What you're talking about is 3rd party processing.

And rumor has it there are always checks B) Go look at CE's join page and see what their first option is - it's been like that for at least a year.

[Peaches]

Does anyone remember when Oprano first opened and Sweet T said it was a place for those working on getting OUT of porn? :okthumb:

Talk to Wig. He's my friend! You'd be surprised what you can make with checks.

Colin, join the club, why do you think I have spend so much time back in university, learning a completely different trade that I ply? The door on porn is closing, the question is when? With the re-election of the bully boy, it will be sooner rather than later.

It's about time for mike to come in here and post up a chicken little picture.

that's what we really need now.

Mike is already strong in non-porn and if what I heard is correct looking more in that direction.

I think you are overly fearful of Bush.

[Almighty Colin]

I should also say .. we're rapidly expanding to provide more quality content for membersites with a number of products in development slated for 2005 delivery. Porn is alive and well. We believe it is here to stay. We'll be here better than ever.

You couldn't afford the defense if they land on you. It would be worse than taking on the RIAA.

Colin, Peaches... thanks for the plug! :D

And the meek shall inherit the earth! :rokk:

Anything but Geddy Lee :lol:

[Vick]

Think I've decided to be in for the long haul in the business

Not that it is as lucurative as it was, or as much fun. My other interests are very entertaining.

But I can't beat the commute


Yeah I'll admit to fucking up, not getting the <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>really big money early and retiring</span>

Alex, diversification is always a good idea. That is not chicken little, that is smart business. Risk management is always a key part of business.

The reality is the biggest problems in this industry come from the theives and scammers inside of it.

As Nick says, porn is so 1999.....
