Do we, as an adult webmaster community, oppose supporting adult versions of YouTube?

You're sorta helping to prove my point You income model is linking to your own galleries/free sites as well as those of other webmasters. How does that fit into what I think we will now refer to as "tube sites"?

(and your site doesn't suck - I tell friends to go there instead if mine )

I voted yes, I support porn, competition or not, the only porn I would ever not support involves underage stuff...

all they are doing is giving away better free porn than we are via a different business model, it might piss you off but that is what they are doing.

it's already been concluded that they have a right to exist, so as an adult webmaster community should we only support our own exact way of adult webmastering, and only when we don't think it will harm our bank accounts?

full file sharing among surfers isn't new by any means, it is just getting easier for them to share their collections now, and better some tube sites run by people in the industry than P2P sharing that is spreading viruses and malware all over the world and underground file sharing sites where all the illegal stuff gets mixed in with all of our legal stuff and BAM! the adult industry is a bunch of dirty CP pushing scumbags... it doesn't matter where the porn comes from, it matters where it ends up because we get the blame for all of it and any outlet that can be policed by the industry is a good one IMO

Well, yes. This isn't a chamber of commerce.

Not that it's an accurate gauge, but go look at pornotube.com on Alexa - it's already very popular.

That's their problem (and hopefully the police it enough so that they don't get sued)

After I read you're 1st post, I realized that "support" has more than one meaning.

Of course I support their right to do it, but I will not support them by helping to find scripts or ads or programs that might want to use it.

Why would I (and 75% of the board members that voted) want to help/assist a concept that would negatively effect our current business models?
