Ok... now I hear Quickbucks is out and I am hearing some others are going to be gone any day now...

Things are getting interesting to say the least.

As mentioned earlier on in similar discussions, I have a feeling that this will be a summer of the shakeout, with some of them hanging on until fall, but many of them finding themselves without processing or no way to bring in enough sales to make it worth doing.


See: http://oprano.com/msgboard/showthread.php?t=94356

Keep your eye on the prize. I have seen a number of alphabetical cash programs getting new ownership / company names as they continue to dance on the proverbial hot tin roof. The ones who are the best at this might last a while, but they are running out of places to lay their heads.

And the beat goes on... and the beat goes on...

Adult Profit... WegCash... Quickbucks... more on the way!

CHORUS:
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

Chorus

The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score

Chorus

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry "hey buddy, have you got a dime"

Chorus

Big old porn sites will come and they will go
how much cash they made no one will know
but rest assured they made more than enough
and so times for them are anything but tough

Chorus

Personally, I don't give a shit if times for them are tough or not. That is not the issue as far as I can see. They are just bad for the perception of the porn industry. A crook is a crook is a crook. What I care about is my own business and I don't want to be tarred by that brush.

Since I came down from Oregon, there's a lesson or two I've learned
By standing in the road alone, standing watching the fires burn.
The northern sky it stinks with greed, you can smell it for miles around,
Good ole boys in the Greystone Hotel, sitting doing that git on down.

Hold on for one blooming second there... did you just bust out a Grateful Dead quote and I freaking missed it? Jerry is going to come back from the grave and point his chopped off stub of a finger at me...

I was in shock and awe that you missed that. I was gonna make a smart ass comment about you forgetting your roots, but in my dotatge, I have become a kindler and gentler pornographer. Or maybe its just moving back to the West Coast.
