IMPORTANT: RawBucks Closing - Affiliate Content & Domain Liquidation Info

Re: IMPORTANT: RawBucks Closing - Affiliate Content & Domain Liquidation Info

yeah I agree even if it’s to “retract” something mean and vicious I wrote about someone and then years later became good friends with! lol

it’s always sad when a business closes especially when you’ve put a great deal of time and effort not to mention years and years and years of money into it. :frowning:

I agree. The whole thing sounded like a bit of a fuck y’all.

I thought it sounded like a

“now that Hillary’s brain clots have returned its looking more and more likely that Donald will be elected in November and the anti-porn platform of the RNC may be adopted and I want everything I ever produced off the internet prior to him taking office”

Seth and Aaron are in the unique position of being porn stars who own the rights to all the videos they’re in. There are only a few porn stars who have they ability to erase their history in porn. It’s a unique situation because there’s a personal component to it. Yet, at the end of the day, they own the content, and we just have a license to use it. They’re rescinding the license and we just have to deal with it.

Curious to know why the Terms of Use at the affiliate program domain are gone. http://tools.rawbucks.com/terms.php

Re: IMPORTANT: RawBucks Closing - Affiliate Content & Domain Liquidation Info

Pretty much. Almost feels & tastes like sour grapes to me.

Re: IMPORTANT: RawBucks Closing - Affiliate Content & Domain Liquidation Info

I wouldn’t read too much into that… it looks like they were never there.

Are these guys back in the biz? Looks like they are working on a new site: cumclub dot com

Yes, they are back… spoke to them briefly. New site up and running now as you noticed. You can also promote their old sites.

What is more interesting is what happen to there great opportunity? Yes…I am trying to be nosey…LOL. Two years ago they posted they are going out of business for better opportunities in the mainstream world, and now they are back doing porn again.

Is this a sign that its still better to stay in the porn industry??? Is the job opportunities suck now and no job security is the reason for coming back into the porn industry???

Inquiring minds want to know???

I often wonder the same thing – would I do better in mainstream? Honestly, I think you probably do well in whatever you enjoy and have a passion for. If you lack the passion it’s a lot harder to succeed.

I seem to recall others that got out of the biz only to get back in after life in the “real world”. The Club Amateur USA guy is one that comes to mind. Amateur Straight Guys might be another, and now maybe Fratmen? Filming hot guys naked seems like something it would be hard to give up, although as I get older I admit my interest in porn isn’t what it used to be.

In their case, didnt something happen that made them want to leave though?

According to what I’m seeing in my CCBill portal they haven’t turned their affiliate account back on… I’m seeing Percentage Payout $0.00 and Flat Rate Payout $0.00.

RawBucks: CLOSED SUCKoffGUYS.com - FUCKoffGUYS.com - BarebackPlace.com

Are you seeing something different in yours? If you are could you provide me with contact info for them so I can inquire?

Thanks,
Kevin.

Sorry to bump this thread but I never heard back from anyone so wasn’t sure if my last post was missed…

According to what I’m seeing in CCBill they have all payout levels set to $0.00. Am I the only one or are others seeing the same thing?

On 6/5 Bjorn said he was in touch with them and they said you can promote their old sites again.

I’ve tried reaching out to them with the contact info I have (service [at] guysonvideo.com & contact [at] rawbucks.com) but haven’t heard back.

Thanks,
Kevin.

[email protected] is the email I used but no, they are not very responsive. I do however seem to get commission.

Have you tried signing up again for a new ID with them? I think I’m using my old existing ID though.

Its not possible to “re-sign up” currently as their webmaster program states “Not currently accepting new affiliates” that was initially my first thought

If you happen to speak with them again would you mind asking them to stop by this thread? :slight_smile:

I’ve tried that email address from two different accounts and never heard back…

I’m using my old affiliate ID as well.

Inside CCBill’s affiliate portal I see that all payouts for their account are set to $0.00. Maybe it’s just me, who knows. Haven’t heard back from anyone else here if they see the same thing aside from Bjorn who appears to be getting paid.

I turned their links on for a bit and see clicks are counted but until I can find out why it doesn’t show 50% payouts like all other sponsors within CCBill I’ve disabled them again…

Kevin.

Yes mine says 50% split.

I did email and message them but not heard back.

Just to clarify, ours also states 50%.
We removed all their links a while ago but if they’re coming back with something new we’re definitely interested in promoting it.
There doesn’t seem to be any mention of affiliate sign up on the new site, so does that mean their mysterious problem from back then was the affiliate side of things? Seems a bit odd they they wouldn’t want this new venture being promoted.
