I'm a bday whore

[John_fromNY]

Sounds confusing

Oh it is.

The URL for the Playboy Cyberclub.com page is back to working presently (first time today in fact); The member's entry box and the member's gateway boxes are up but they are acting in a haphazard way. [Click it, it works, other times not] ... so I saved all the viable PB URLs (and the Club Jenna login) in my favoritie sites area.

What I believe Manwin did was to first disable the Playboy Cyberclub website certificates, making some pages "expired" while other pages to be "revoked" just like Anthony best explained it... since they feel that "anyone" doing a google, bing or yahoo! search is going to know Playboy as Playboy Plus via the playboy.com website. Because free tube site history (Almighty Zeus, Nurgles Nymphs, Tribute to Playmates, Novojoy, Hot Chicas, Deluxe Blondes, Crispy Thumbs, etc) -- describes it as such... The Girls of Playboy Plus.

The problem with doing it that way .... they've had three months to experiment with it... by calling it "Playboy Plus' is that the search engine at playboy.com where Playboy Plus resides is totally deficient. If you do a Playmate search there, Patti McGuire (November 1976), Cathy St. George (August 1982), Karen Price (January 1981) and a few others... there's nothing up there for these ladies.

Playboy.com was originally designed and its original conceptual idea was to capture all the other areas of the magazine that were not in the pictorials; the comics of Little Annie Fannie, the celebrity interviews, the other stories, some cutting edge stories, some in depth reporting, and other features like "living the Playboy lifestyle, etc. And only a few of the better known ladies to be featured on the site as "the Girls of Playboy." The Plus came much later.

Now, playboy.com also has many ads. Maybe too many? That means much of the space on the web pages is not being devoted to what it should be for --- the ladies of Playboy....

Patti McGuire, Cathy St. George, and Karen Price, among others are all there at the Playboy Cyberclub website. Also, the Playboy search engine, at the CyberClub.com website is very extensive. Maybe it's too extensive for people's tastes? For example, if you do a Pamela Anderson search - you get 57 pages worth. Though the first few pages are the useful ones.

Christie Hefner drew up the main designs at the CyberClub. (It contains all the ladies of Playboy.com, Every Playmate ever to appear in Playboy, most if not all of the models appearing in the magazine, many featured pictorials, all of the Cybergirls, the UK Cybergirls, and the many other niche PB sites: Playboy's Busty Babes, Playboy Girls, Playboy's Sexy Wives, Playboy's Fresh Faces, Playboy's All Naturals, Playboy's Student Bodies, and Women of Playboy; and then the Adult.com site, the Reality Gang sites and all the Club Jenna sites) That's quite alot of research material to look through.

Manwin will have to come to an working arrangement (as to which website will be the one to go to and the one they will need to ultimately endorse) - otherwise Playboy's loyal following of members will be showing their displeasure and that will force Manwin to eventually lose the contract if they do choose incorrectly. Yes, it's tough stuff to decide.

Start of Rant....

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Playboy Cyber Club/Playboy Plus ... Brazzers throws another wrench into the workings of their website.

Well, Brazzers just came out with a new home webpage and a new search engine ... Yes, however the navigation around the site will take some getting used to. Some things still do not work though it's been only three days now. And as a result, you may want to contact the customer service department or the technical support area. They are praising the new search engine there. It's better but it is not the best.

It took me about a half hour to figure out where they put my favorite scenes. About a hour to figure the rest out, favorite pictures and pornstars. You don't have "favorite" pornstars anymore. What you have now are pornstarlets that you are "following" ...

Are there any girls here who are currently posing for them? The number of your scenes may also have been diminished and been lessened too. Yes, when they uploaded the new home page and put in the design of their new search engine, it seems they took your scenes away.



Please check your scenes and count them...

For example, Holly Halston once had 34 scenes over there, she currently has 26 up. Yes, the owners deleted an astounding 8 of her scenes ... Several of the missing scenes are now available for viewing on the free video tube sites that Brazzers other companes run only. Holly Halston Gets Her Wedding Gift a video with Johnny Sins and Charles Dera is one such video that is not there at Brazzers.


Caveat Emptor Let the Buyer Beware --- Brazzers is still advertising these missing scenes as part of the enrollment to entice new members to join up there. But do not be mistaken. They just aren't there. The classic bait and switch.

And don't expect the owners of Brazzers to bring them back ... If I was Holly Halston ... I'd be pissed.

End of Rant ...

[Anthony_JK]

Well....since Holly is officially retired from porn, I figure she probably doesn't care too much anymore. Her fans, OTOH...


Anthony

[John_fromNY]

Oh people are pissed. Yes, the paying members.

I found a Brazzers forum over there. Yes they have one (I've been a member since 2005 and never knew they had one) ANYWAY.... and I was reading a thread called, "Too many removed scenes. It's unacceptable."

-- now pretty much the reasons:

1. Visa is pulling their power. They've complained about several Pornstar Punishment scenes (we all know as to why with that), and several cheerleader scenes, possibly at Big Tits At School, Hot and Mean, and Big Tits In Sports. They didn't give site names... Just the word cheerleader was mentioned. Forum members posting there are thinking and saying that maybe the extras who show up in the scenes who aren't physically having sex. All have to be 18+ So who knows? Then, and most importantly two other Brazzers sites, Teens Like It Big, and Teens Like It Black have girls performing that seem to look very young. Maybe too young. Underage.

2. There seems to be a Brazzers "compliance board" ... yes George Orwell's 1984 all over again. (I'd like to login, and although, I'm not a forum member, and (a) I'd tell them that if Larry Flynt was running the show... (b) and I'd shout from the highest mountain about the "First Admendment" ... that this would not be happening to these delisted scenes.

3. Now, lastly many of the removed scenes had alcohol use in them --- In Holly Halston Gets Her Wedding Gift - yes, Holly is drinking a glass of red Merlot throughout. Yes, again dreaded alcohol becomes an "issue" with their all powerful "compliance board."

So they are saying all this... It's ... Lousy excuses by Brazzers and Manwin ... But it makes for fun reading... lol.

Anyone have a gun?

Now the important stuff. Will they bring the scenes back? If they pass muster with the "compliance board"? Then yes they will return eventually.

However, my honest feeling is probably not.

So people, try to find these delisted scenes on the free tube sites. That's something I'd tell the forum members too. That Brazzers owns these free tube sites as well.

And so we have more pissed off people in the world.

They did it, they bought REALITY KINGS! http://www.xbiz.com/news/153764

LUXEMBOURG — RealityKings.com is now under the Manwin umbrella, the company announced Monday.

In keeping with its vision for growth and diversification, Manwin has acquired, among other assets, RealityKings.com network of sites, Reality Kings TV (RKTV), DVD production and sales, and NastyDollars affiliate program.

First launched in 2000, Reality Kings features more than 5,000 adult performers and 7,000 scenes in its portfolio. RK is regarded as a leader in the niches sites in which it specializes.

The Reality Kings operations team will remain in place and will be expanded to further enhance RK product lines, according to Manwin.

"We are happy to welcome Reality Kings to the Manwin family," said Fabian Thylmann, managing partner of Manwin. "There have been few companies in the industry that have accomplished as much as Reality Kings has, and we look forward to building on Reality Kings' established success.

"Acquiring these outstanding sites, products and human resources will allow Manwin to further expand its quality repertoire and reach an even greater diversified audience."

Based in Luxembourg with offices in Burbank, Calif., Montreal, London, Dublin, Hamburg and Nicosia, Manwin operates Playboy Plus in a licensing deal with Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Playboy Enterprises and also owns blue-chip brands such as Digital Playground, Brazzers and Twistys. In addition, Manwin owns YouPorn, Spankwire, Webcams Tube8, ExtremeTube, KeezMovies, Mofos, ExtremeTube, JuicyBoys and PornHub.

[Anthony_JK]

Wait..didn't they already have a minority interest in Reality Kings before they bought them outright??

Somebody might want to play Ralph Nader and bring them to Congress over antitrust violations if this keeps up.

[Redd44]

Wouldn't it be cool if somehow we could have a "sit-in" or something and every porn chick refuse to work for Man Win for a month?

[stickyvicky]

That's never gonna happen, how will the girls pay their rent? They are the biggest shooter in town now....

[Bretzky]

Time for a new company to come along.

[carl goldfinger]

Yeah, Bretzky!

That's what I was also thinking about!
To get a big piece of the cake & set new, fair rules for the performers.
The problem is that too many people get desperate of poorness & enter the industry for too small fees.
That's the chance for Brazzers & Co to exploit all the newbes & press out the established pornstars.
Shit!

Carl

[WalterB]

That's big business strategy everywhere these days, Carl. Move out the older, higher paid workers so they can bring in new, young, lower paid workers. Give up the experienced work base so they can put more money in their pockets.

[stickyvicky]

Now they bought streammate! You know they bought a modeling agency last week right?
http://www.mikesouth.com/mikesouth-excl ... mate-6722/
They just need to buy the condom and douche companies and they have it all! If this was the phone company the government would break up the monopoly but it's porn so no one cares...

[carl goldfinger]

Hey Vicky,
This is bad for the performers. A monopolist can decide whatever fees he like to pay for the performers.
The history teaches us that it will be too little to live on and too much to die on.
Was it you who told us that streamate takes 70% of the performer's income...+ cheating on the customers bye stealing credit cards etc etc...?
Yuck! Gangstas!

Let's cut a big piece of that cake.
I'm still thinking about it.

Well now - if you go onto the Brazzers member's home page ... you'll find...

1. Brazzers ... http://www.brazzers.com/
2. Mofos ... http://www.mofos.com/
3. Brazzers Cams *
4. Twistys ... http://www.twistys.com/
5. Wicked Pictures ... http://www.wicked.com/

and three new paysites...

6. Babes.com ... http://www.babes.com/
7. 3DXStar.com ... http://www.3dxstar.com/
8. Digital Playground ... http://www.digitalplayground.com/

* With the exception of Brazzers Cams. All sites unlock, provided that you register at the Brazzers site (Home Page) directly. However, if you register separately, like I did and most other long timers (with different usernames and/or passwords -- way before they devised this scheme), then you have a red lock indicated there. And that means, no access to the sites off the Brazzers Home page. You have to do it separately.

Brazzers is trying to consoldate all your accounts onto one page. Just like Bang Brothers has done with their site. Included is Bang Brothers, Naked.com (their live cam show site (which is free to members) and other paysites listed, such as College Rules, Dancing Bear, My GF, and CFNM Show. I have the same issue there as Brazzers. For Bang Brothers - one username and password. For College Rules, Dancing Bear, My GF, and CFNM Show - another totally different unrelated username and password. Ugh.

[stickyvicky]

Cool, but not personalized and interactive like us... we are still better... lol..

[John_fromNY]

Cool, but not personalized and interactive like us... we are still better... lol..

And then as a test, I tried to join one of the other sites through the Brazzers portal... I used my Visa (same as for Brazzers) and I tried to enroll in the DP site. But guess what? It wouldn't work. It didn't recognize the card...



....

[stickyvicky]

Why would you want to join DP when you already get it included?
