Topic: ******** is charging for Model IDs
We are doing this to protect the integrity of the ******** collection.
Those of you that choose to purchase the documentation can rest assure that this decision makes your content more valuable than it would be if we decided to give them away for free.
Let the bombs fall. That is our policy and we are sticking to it.
Peace.

His reply to a bunch of users bashing him for being a n0rd:
Quote:
You have a choice. Get the content in bulk for about 10 dollars a set. Or get the content in bulk with IDs for 15 dollars a set.
Would you prefer I just not give the option to get the content without IDs and more affordable? I know that almost all of the webmasters who cry about the IDs never opt to purchase them.
They go for the 10 dollar sets. It is a choice. Besides, what other content providers sell great content like ******** has for just 10 dollars? Who? Even with the service charge for the IDs ******** is still the most affordable content provider out there.
You all just love drama. And I am here as always to give it toyou. But this is really not news. I have been offering this option to webmasters for years. None of them ever choose to get the IDs. Now that you all think you will Have to have them you want them for free.

More later...

The price for everything is ngo...
I ask for 5 dollars per ID per set.. If you have 200 sets then that is 1000 dollars. I am willing to make deals on that price but you will not get them for free. Sorry. :-)
I still love all you guys. Those who have purchased the IDs know they got something special. And that is the point.

Then he goes on a rant about how webmasters ruined the content business:
Quote:
I have the best of intentions really. In the long run it is the correct thing to do.
You will see in the future that I am correct - as usual. For how long have you guys been talking trash about ******** but I am still here. Still producing, now selling DVDs.
Read the threads there are some good people here who agree with me. They say it is right and a good idea. And I know it is.
You guys who got this incredible ******** Collection for next to nothing - those days are now over. You had your time to make your money with them. If you were to lazy to get off your ass it is not my problem.
If you want to continue using them and you want the IDs you will have to pay for them. Anyone who paid 5000 dollars for the content bulk deal will get the docs for free. Most of you got it for 1000 or less. The collection is worth 20 thousand but this market is so fucked up and everyone knows it.
It all started with J$ doing Content Blowouts. ******** did not ruin the market. You guys did. You all wanted cheap deals or you would not buy. Now you nickeled and dime us content providers to death until we are lifeless. Fuck You ! Fuck all of you punks out there who want nothing more than to see every content provider here penniless and broke selling exclusives for 200 each. FUCK YOU.
The list of content providers now gone is long. Let me run off a few, Phoenix, L and M, AdultContentca, Reyko,, and there are many more. ******** is still here. Still paying my bills and making me money. STILL because of the decisions I made that my competitors could not and now they are gone. This is just one more of those decisions. I don't care if you like it or not. This is one of the decisions I must make to secure my future.

Etc... You get the point.
