Wonder what that could be then ? )
I did a search on GFY, not one mention of them and I don't know any other webmasters (except ones on BGAFD) that have even heard of them. Not seen them promoted anywhere on the web either. It's totally bizarre to me.
I'd hazard a guess that they employed commericial web guys who no experience at all in adult. Anyone with any of experience of the dark side would not launch that half done broken front end and go for an 'no affiliates needed / $10 per scene' model.
btw, can you actually buy the DVDs anywhere yet? I couldn't find them on sale?
