Figured it made sense to repost what I had written before.
Hello All,
This is Andrew from ye olde Gunzblazing. Firstly, THANK YOU. We totally get that more information is needed - the initial email posted here was the first of several, and more details are needed and coming.
Legrand (the new owner with his partner Jay) are were working on getting his Gaydemon login sorted. He has reached out to Bjorn and Michael about this and should be in here shortly. Anyone can reach him at [email protected] with questions or concerns.
As a FYI, GunzBlazing was on the original version of MPA3 with many, many custom modifications and needed to be updated to the most recent version for ongoing fidelity. This wasn’t a decision taken lightly. For a variety of reasons it had been put it in the too hard basket for a long time but change of ownership was the perfect chance to do something sorely needed to such old tech. We are working directly with Oystein and their devs to migrate ALL data to the new install. It will be the same database and the same system (no need to update links or username/pass), but at a new URL. The CarnalCash domain switch means that there will be a brief period where the link codes are not showing up but any interruption should be incredibly minor.
Legrand and his partner learned a lot during the transition to NATS in 2017 and will not be repeating any mistakes made then. And we learned a ton during the AEBN transition. Working with Legrand and MPA3 closely, I can say that Legrand, myself and MPA3 are VERY interested in making this transition to the newest version of MPA3 a success, and having the best possible outcome from our revamp of not just our cash program, but also our sites and product offerings.
Finally, I’d just like to say and echo some of the sentiments here that Gunz is a bit of a grand old dame with faded glory and that Legrand and his partner are the only people I trust to bring her back up to her former state. Whilst we did certain things very well, especially tools and promotional media, our content needed some oversight from people who genuinely know and love gay porn production and marketing. After so many years doing the same thing in a changing environment, GunzBlazing needed the type of energy we have all seen Legrand and his husband (and their team) bring to their projects like Mormonboyz and FamilyDick. And I don’t think that’s a big admission on my part.
Working with Legrand has been like warped out of a 9-5 time card stamping 50’s machinery plant into a young tech start up. From top to bottom the energy, systems and promotional integration that literally starts at the scripts going before the camera was a bit of a rude shock to me, peering behind the curtains at how things should actually be done farm to plate. I don’t really want to say much more because it will sound like empty platitudes but the fact is, you’ve seen what they did with Mormonboyz when no one thought that was an idea that would go anywhere. Then after a long wait, they launched another passion project of theirs Family Dick, so in just the last two years you’ve seen what they’ve done, and paired with the gunz blazing promotional tools which remain some of the best in the industry, I have high hopes for Gunz/Carnal in 2019.
