Business It was 'FreePornDay' yesterday... Yet ZERO threads... What did you think?

[CurrentlySober]

Just curious with no dog in the game. OK, its the sites content to do with as they wish and I could understand some affiliates feeling a little upset, however I'm surprised there was no talk of it on GFY.

I'll give my personal experience / opinion of things later if the tread gains traction but I'm just curious of what you thought from a punters point of view if you tried it out?

I know those who own / work for the sites will say 'It was a great success' as I've seen that elsewhere, but from a surfers perspective, how did you find 'FreePornDay' ???

Would it turn you off of tubes and interested in becoming a paying member instead?

Lots of people did hear of it. It received a LOT of national mainstream press coverage, that cant be denied. Apparently it generated HUGE traffic, (According to what I've read elsewhere) causing quite a few servers to go down and one of the big players being 'unable to handle it' and having to end the offer 11 hours early after collecting 32000 email addresses.

You expect way too much from GFY

Actually I would have thought a lot of 'SurfMasters' to have tried it out, even if only to just look in the members areas if not to actually 'enjoy' the porn.

First we lost bulk of the affiliate programs.
Then we lost the bulk of the coders/developers.
Then we lost the bulk of the designers.
Then we lost the bulk of the shooters.
Then we lost the bulk of the real webmasters.
I even think surfmasters are becoming pretty thin around here.

Yes I didn't mention it being you /payserve as it was a post you made elsewhere. Well done.

From what I saw of the day, you were one of the few 'Straight Forward' ones - Give us an email and you can have free access for the rest of the day.

Some other offerings seemed to want me to actually join and pay, others wouldn't let me in at all (the stocking site) and the 'big one' Evil Angel, didn't seem to work for me at all

All I could seem to see on that one was the short previews. Perhaps I did something wrong?

Granted I have perhaps a bit more knowledge than a surfer, and I didn't really push the issue. I wasn't desperate to get inside to watch the porn, just curious about the entire event. However, had I been a surfer, looking to see what a paysite offered over a tube, I think I would have been very dissapointed with the bulk of the offerings. Which is a shame.

I do however think it was an interesting first experiment and will be interested to see how the next one goes

BTW, I didn't bother to look into your site, simply because I have been a personal paying member of the tainster stuff on and off for a good few years

My suggestion for next time would be to just have an email once at the main site and then the main site would have given direct access to all on offer from all sites via special entry - From the freepornday site.

funny, that would have been my suggestion as well since now it was a mess with all the different options.

it was several companies, I posted the xbiz link to the details a couple of weeks ago.

Hoping to be involved next year, but sadly, when I spoke to other ModelCentro models, they weren't interested. Only seeing lots of content seen for free & not the extra sales after the free day

It might be smarter to have like a lottery for a free signup, some way to limit the # of free members at once, or better yet, give access to the site, and let them stream and view photos, but limited downloads to limit the strain on the server

I can't see giving un-fettered access to multiple TB of data. But now you have 32K email address to blast out every other day till they un-subscribe or signup

Pretty sure most had downloads disabled already.

3 cheers for those who did it right like Roald.
I hope the traffic remembers the scammers.

I remember back in day when surfer would open a thread always someone would post "surfer alert". Tubes destroyed gfy surfer traffic

I vaguely recall hearing something about it - but it passed by my radar the other day.
