Unhappy Apparently, Manwin Has So Much Money...

So last night, I got a call from FedEx about a delivery I was getting today. They wanted to make sure I was home so that I could sign for it & gave me a tracking number. I looked up the tracking number & it didn't give me any info other than it was picked up that day, so it was an overnight delivery.

So this morning FedEx comes & I sign for an envelope. It's from Chexx Inc in Vancouver, so I'm thinking this must be a BIG check since it's overnight from Canada!

I open it up & it's from Manwin RK (Reality Kings) and the total of the check is.......get ready for it........$35.00!!!!!!!

I looked on fedex.com to see how much it'd cost to ship a document from Buffalo to Vancouver today:
Delivery Sat Oct 20, 2012 by 5:00 PM - $58.91
Delivery Mon Oct 22, 2012 by 10:30 AM - $41.88
Delivery Tue Oct 23, 2012 by 5:00 PM - $70.60

Now, these numbers might be a little off since tomorrow is Saturday, but FUCK ME! How can you waste that much money?! It's not like I requested it overnight or via FedEx. I've always got my check in the US Mail.

Unreal.

I really don't get the FedEx thing???

So will you be spending the $35 and having a wild time or adding it to your investment portfolio?

people were complaining that the checks were late - i guess they decided to super-ship them and try to make up for the delay with a bit of flashy delivery hoopla.

This is part of the email I received from my rep on this:

Quote:
I would like to offer an apologie for the late payment.

We made some administrative changes recently, and checks went out a little
late.

In an effort to correct this, we sent all checks out via Fed Ex overnight.

There is a slim margin when using alternative billing.

If they didnt have it then you would be out .09

mOrrI - Manwin is the complete opposite of, say, Dee Cash - they bought Twisty's & it's converting just as good as it used to - plus it's retaining better because they now have access to Manwin's entire library of material.

Manwin, IMHO, are the good guys

Yeah right, if you forget about all the pirated content on their tube site network.

Oh really?

In the past year plus they bought Twistys, Playboy, Reality Cash, Digital Playground and now RK. All still open. All still selling. All still shooting content and updating the members areas. Some changes I'm sure here and there but otherwise nothing has changed.

Not one program closed or got merged.

And sure all the conspiracy theorists say as soon as Manwin buys ratios drop but if read those threads you will see some people say their ratios are the same.

Contrary to popular belief Fabian isn't sitting here in the offices re-writing NATS to "shave" webmasters LOL

I am one person that was/is also affected by the tube sites, they suck, I don't like them. I've had to get a job partly because of them though mainly because of the US economic drop, thanks Bush! But they are here to stay unfortunately.

But let's look at history. Fabian bought Manwin 2-2.5 years ago? Did he build the tubes or buy them? He bought them as part of the package with Brazzers and everything.

Again contrary to popular belief Manwin doesn't have a team of people here uploading pirated videos. They have a team of people viewing the uploaded videos for the 7 deadly sins.. blood, incest, rape and I don't know the rest. That's all they review for. If something is pirated they wait for the DMCA and then they remove it.

People post all the time they should ban a person that uploads 3 "removed" videos like YouTube does. Fabian is in this business to make money, not lose it. The other tubes he does not own (xvideos, xhamster, xnxx and soooooooo many more) do NOT employ that rule so if PornHub did those users would just go elsewhere and he'd lose a ton of traffic and users. So he follows the law YouTube set a precedent for. Unless you get a DMCA for a video you do not remove it. That is why on YouTube you can watch Letterman, Leno and TV shows but then they mysteriously disappear. They disappear because NBC finally sent YouTube a DMCA.

Until EVERYONE changes, or the rules change, or the DMCA laws change, or Google drops them all from their search results, or Fabian buys them all LOL, nothing is going to change. Same reason Xhamster won't change either... they cannot afford to be different then they'd lose all their traffic.

It's just a sad fucking reality.
