    I just found this article that says Escom has a deal with Playboy to 'power' sex.com... whatever that means.

    Let's see.. they bought the domain in January but they didn't ink a deal with Playboy until October. It's now March and the site is still a piece of shit. Why wouldn't they just redirect the site to playboy.com until they had something to show. Is this domain cursed or something?

    no - the domain is not cursed. or rather, it's SUCH a high profile domain that it is cursed to be owned by people who jump to own it without the slightest idea of what to do with it.

    btw, jelly shoes are horrible, disgusting things...

    It absolutely amazes me how, even in 2007, people outside the adult industry think that it's 1995. Almost every week, somebody emails or calls and says they're starting a new website, they're going to shoot content, etc., and they somehow expect the money to just come rolling in. "Oh, I'll put a site up on the Internet and I'll get a thousand members."

    On the grand scale, somebody gets the bright idea to pay $14M for sex.com and figures the money will roll in. Now granted, that's a hard domain to NOT make money off of, but amazingly, these people have managed to do that.

    On a smaller scale, I know of several people that have invested 30 grand, 50 grand, 100 grand or more into production of ONE or TWO dvds, or a website, fully expecting they will make a gigantic return. And then the money's gone and what they're left with is minuscule returns on their investment.

    What is it about this industry in particular that makes people feel like they can invest, do little to no work, and make a ton of money?
