Who owns TPF?

[Heitz]

I tried to stimulate the NSFW section. Nobody wants to participate. :thumbdown:

I want to, but my wife objects. You guys won't tell, right?

...to approach and then offering them (through pms) ....

Let me just say here and now, that I adimately DO NOT WANT your pms. Please keep your pms to yourself.

You forgot to mention using the Ban Hammer.

I looked up the price of TPF a long time ago to the new owners. If I remember correctly it was about $150,000.

Im with Charlie, Wal-mart owns it. They have a piece of everything these days.

It's a walmart-esque company. They own 120 forums with the biggest section of their forums being powersports. And their offices are near Austin, TX....

What a weird world we live in that there is now a forum conglomerate.

Wake up and smell the coffee, there are even conglomerates buying up campgrounds and RV parks in order to raise the rate for all you vacationers who don't use motels, B&Bs, etc.

Aye I recall a few of them did move onto other sites as the NSFW (mostly creative nudes) were a major part of their work. A sad loss for the site, however there is no reason others can't rise to fill the gap

I really don't get the whole 'nude' thing. If you've seen one titty, you've seen them all. Rarely do I ever see a "nude" that strikes me as creative. They're pretty much all "here's my titty, just hangin out." Occasionally someone will come along where they've done things tastefully and their image is artfully presented... but mostly not.

I used to think the same way. Then I took a nude lighting workshop and learned how light falls on a nude subject. While I don't have models beating down my door to shoot them nude, I try and put some thought into the posing and I'm definitely not the GWC type. But to each their own, I guess...

What an awesome business model! Who knew that you could operate a revenue generating business with FREE labor from total strangers?! Not only do they make loads of money from advertisement AND refuse to compensate its employees for their services, but they have the audacity, as Bitter pointed out, to ask its content contributing members to GIVE them MORE money!

In reality, who cares where my $25 goes? Into some mystery owner's pocket? So what? I couldn't care less if the owner(s) is into BMX, collecting pens, practicing witchcraft, watching Benny Hill or picking their noses and comparing what they find. I pay $25 a year, and get thousands of dollars worth of instructions from some very knowledgeable people for my measly investment.
