Well I know I can not do it for very long at all, “ about a month or so” but do you know any studios that can help me out, or ones that have really short set like 45 pics or something, and maybe even cut their videos up really small. My new design is going to have rather long pages, and focused on a lot of twink content. In other words it will hit them over the head with sex, sex, and just a bit more sex
I'd agree with Bec. This relates to ethics in our industry.
There are times where I'm putting together ad's for films and I have to hunt down artwork for them. I could probably put just any old image in the ad for some obscure film...and some people would buy it...they might not even say anything.
I never do it...I respect my customers too much.
Ok ok, I think some of you guys might be missing the point, I am talking about background images, and only doing if for a short time. I do not really think that people join a site for these kinda pics, or after 24 hours could tell you what any of the guys looked like in the tour of your site, but people are good at face recognition, so I do need really fresh stuff. I am just try to hold down the totally expense at first that could be over 5000$ if I just go over board with all of this. :wtf:
Actually, we aren't missing the point. You want a handful of pictures and short clips of various models to design with that you won't have available inside for the members for a month or more, if ever. I understand the monetary reasons ... we're trying to tell you the ethical reasons on why you shouldn't take this approach.
Those 2 statements cancel each other out. A surfer DOES recognize when there's a new model ... if he joins your site to see him, and he isn't in there ... what makes you think he'll try your site again in a month when you finally can afford the set? :err:after 24 hours could tell you what any of the guys looked like in the tour of your site, but people are good at face recognition
A better solution would be to take what $$ you can spare and buy two or three sets - and mix in older content with the new for the design. That way you can heavily promote the 2-3 exclusive or semi-exclusive guys to bring in the surfer via your hubs, galleries, etc.
I have no idea what your budget is like, but Ounique is having their 100 sets for $999 deal ... you can get most of their newer material at quite a savings.

As soon as a member enters the site they will see a huge amount of content, and will forget any background image they have seen “and to tell the truth most members do not give a damn about pics” I think you are really missing the point, paying for full sets of old content is useless in the tour, and a large amount of filler pics is not going to help at all. So you do not know a studio that would work with graphic designers, to provide content for this purpose, or a studio that breaks up “short sets” of pics and videos that are good and fresh?
I know of some straight content producers that do what you're asking. Gay content sales on a per pic basis - none that I can think of off hand.
And your argumentive and arbitrary dismissal of anything suggested to you is exactly why I have hesitated in offering you any "help". I've watched how you treated others attempting to give you some direction and assistance, and wasn't impressed at their treatment. After awhile you seemed to be more open to actually having mutually beneficial conversation ... it seems I've erred in that assumption. It won't happen again.
