Im wondering why Alektra Blue isnt as popular as Taylor Rain?

I called Shauna Grant, she said they're living together, just laying low. Alex Jordan hangs with them on occasion.

Christian why talk shit on Alektra Blue just cause she doesnt want to work you? So Alektra isnt relevant? Ok I guess thats why her interactive is the #1 seller for interactives right now on avn's charts. What do you have thats #1 on any charts? Whos relevant now Christian? By the way she is still actively doing b/g scenes as well

Yes I read the post and he made the comment that Alektra was not relevant. So I posted a fact that Alektra has a has the #1 seller for interactives right now so that makes her very relevant when it comes to selling DVD's. Asking him whos relevant after he makes a post that is meant to make Alektra look like she is nothing in the industry not to mention outright lies is fair question. I dont see his name on anything as far as DVD titles thats #1 he needs to check his facts before he posts lies.

Now to the main topic of the thread why isnt Alketra Blue as popular as Taylor Rain. I never thought she wasnt as popular as Taylor but the reason if she is would maybe that she has been selective in who she's worked with

Probably the main reason Alektra isn't as popular as Taylor is that she only does b/g with her hubby Pat Myne. She's just not gonna get as many opportunities for work because of that.

Actually Alektra and Taylor do share one shameful thing in common. I will let you guys guess what that is. 
tritone, have you made that anti-piracy plea over at the Mr. Marcus forum yet? Them folks need a wake up call, and this could be your 'I have a dream...' moment.
Or are you content to see interracial producers kept down not by the man, but by their own fans?
It's just that you seem very vocal, militant and bombastic when it comes to accusing girls of racism, but your balls tend to shrivel up and hide whenever I raise this question. What gives, bro?
Think about it...if people can jerk off to a new IR scene every day without having to pay for it, what kind of an effect is that having on producers of IR and their bottom line? Please make that post and throw up a link to it here so we can see that you're fightin' the good fight!

Hey doesn't Taylor like having Max Hardcore pee in her like a toilet? Does that make her better too? Doesn't that just make Taylor a litter box for Max and all men that want to use her as a flush.

Dude, how naive are you --- really? Do you actually think that the piracy going on at a single Internet board is having an affect on whether girls choose to do Interracial or not? You think every IR fan in the world knows about Marcus' board?
Girls don't do IR for these reasons:
1. Having sex with a black guy - no matter how well groomed, handsome, or respectful he is, is not an option. They will never consider it even for "work". Blacks are the lowest of low and these girls take comfort in the fact that they did porn, but "never with a black guy." No -- they have too much respect for that.
2. Their agents/boyfriends/handlers decide that doing IR will cast a negative light on them so they follow that advice.
3. They realize the value of IR scenes in the adult marketplace and decide to hold off on doing them as a "bargaining chip".
You seem to think that if there is more IR work available that suddenly these girls will change their minds -- but that is not the case. There is plenty of IR work out there -- even from big studios like Digital Playground (Robby D. just started a series for them) - but these girls are just not willing to cross that line.
Furthermore, you really think Marcus' board is the only place stuff gets pirated? What about all the non-IR stuff getting ripped on countless boards, the USENET, torrents, etc.... why isthat not causing producers to stop shooting porn alltogether?
Please find another argument.

You're a race-baiter.
I reject this argument because a midget is different enough from a normal-height person that such objections may be understandable.
Now a black guy has darker skin and different hair. But as long as he has good hygenie and can perform -- then what is the problem?
You guys are just not getting it because you are white and are used to having every opportunity open for you.

Hey Dan,
As someone who has been lurking on this board and the mm board for a couple years on an almost daily basis, I feel that I am pretty knowledgeable about both boards. Furthermore, as someone who has been on torrent, ptp, etc. for about 7 yrs I feel that I have a great grasp of the community. I would like to say your analysis of the mm board is a bit off. Mostly because a large percentage of the posters there are not that knowledgeable about filesharing snf go about it incredibly slowly and inefficiently in addition to rehashing the same topics frequently. St best, they rely on about 5-10 people on the board to post scenes occasionally and the majority of which are dated and are past their profit making shelf life.
I can tell you as someone who dls porn freely that a greater percentage of revenue is lost on torrent sites each day than through that board for all genres, not just interracial. MM members tend to post dated scenes after the entire movie has been out in the torrent community for days to months. They are not the initial distributor of the pirated material, merely a tertiary and beyond pirate and inefficient ones at that. As someone who prefers recent interacial releases, I know better than to bother with that board. Mainly, I go there for the rare interesting topic or baffle at the tired refrain out out by them.
I do agree that it is silly for people to both complain of the lack of interest of performers to do that kind of scene and simultaneously limit the main reason that producers would make and distribute the film by stealing it in a sense. However, the accusation that the mm board is costing interracial porn makers millions is an exagerration. On the contrary, I would contend that a larger percentage of income was lost due to torrent sites that post day of the release and affects all genres than to that board. Moreover, I think that the actual amount lost to that board is minimal because of the long delay before anything is posted and the technological ignorance of much of the community.
That's just my two cents as a user of all of the current social networking technologies.

Attraction has nothing to do with it. They pull that card out to cover up their prejudice. When they fuck the other white guys they are not attrracted to, they do it because it is work. Why can't the black guys be treated the same way --as an assignment, nothing more.
P.S. - Nothing against those guys (except maybe Max) -- in fact I like "average joe" kind of porn studs -- but I am just making a point.

Let me ask you this. Have you slept with Persian, Indian, Arab, or Latin women? If not, that makes you a racist, doesnt it? I doubt you even sleep with your own people. Black women are just to strong for you.
Only Latin from that list, but again -- I would do any girl no matter what race if I found her attractive. I like women of ALL COLORS. And yes, I love good looking black women too.
P.S. --- One final point I want to add so people understand me clearly.
I am not saying that a porn actress should fuck any guy no matter what.
I am saying that I want black actors to be considered as well as white ones in their usual screening process and that race should NOT play a factor. I find it hard to beleive that there is not one single black actor that these "IR dodgers" have found acceptable.

Dude, don't lump me in with this. I disagree with pretty much every post on that other board. The fact that they can carry on the same tactic in every thread there while ignoring the greatest compulsion in adult film - money - is astonishing to me. I just jumped in because I believed that Dan's argument wasn't strong. I didn't even read the rest of this heated hijacking. Most of the time, I feel you're joking by bringing it up here but come on: it was funny and interesting the first few times but it's tired, right? Seriously, most of the reaction here was prolly just frustration from you bringing it up again as oppose to anything simply racist. I mean I don't doubt that some of the argument might be true occasionally but its always money.
Getting the thread back on topic, Alektra is infinitely hotter than Taylor if just for not having sex with Max. If I actually did that sort of thing and had time outside of IB, I'd book her. But Taylor's incredible depravity and idiocy along with Fayner writing about her all the god damn time is reason enough for her to be more famous.

Sorry dude.
Alektra is on her way to be to being bigger than Taylor. Recently she's been in Third Degree (her best selling interactive title included), Fusxion, Penthouse, Diabolic, and Wicked, within the last few months.
Plus she's hot as hell...granted, Taylor's anal is legendary, but Alektra's not far behind. I think Taylor's more popular than her due to lukeford.com, but that's about it.
Once I watched her put her tits on a pool table to distract the other team, it worked, she and Courtney won, lol.

whenever I watch a scene with alektra her hair is so thin and wispy it looks like she's going bald. the tit job is a minus also, imo. I'm no fan of TMFR, but I'd watch her over alektra anyday.

If they are so dated, why do people want to watch them? Secondly, if people do still want to watch them, then that would suggest to me that their profit making shelf life is still going...if people were prepared to pay to watch them, that is.

Whichever way you want to slice it, it's still piracy, although I do agree with you that torrent sites are just as big a problem.

No 'sense' about it...it is stealing. But you have grasped the nettle of the issue vis a vis how piracy will affect producers and thus the type of porn that gets produced.
Quote:
However, the accusation that the mm board is costing interracial porn makers millions is an exagerration.
How many views is the B5fan movie thread up to now? Must be close to 4 million, I would guess...do you think people look at that thread for the scintillating conversation? Rather than go worst case scenario and equate each page view with one lost DVD sale at either wholesale or retail, let me take it the other way and instead attribute a nominal, trifling 50 cent loss for each page view (averaged out...some will do more financial damge than others). That's getting on into the region of $2 million lost sales in the IR genre alone, and like I say, that's the best case scenario. If you cut it down to just 25 cents, it's still a cool million bucks.
Quote:

Moreover, I think that the actual amount lost to that board is minimal because of the long delay before anything is posted and the technological ignorance of much of the community.
That's just my two cents as a user of all of the current social networking technologies.
Piracy on a niche specific board is a lot more damaging because it is targeted. You want to watch an interracial scene for free. Let's say there are 1000 scenes available on the torrent site (a simplification, but bear with it)...what percentage of those scenes will be interracial, given all of the wonderfully diverse niches and genres that make up porn? Certainly less than 10%.
Now you go to a niche-specific site like the MM forum, and guess what...100% of what's available is what you're looking for. It's simple math.
Personally, I couldn't give a shit either way...if IR fans want to put the producers in the poorhouse, so be it. I prefer features anyway. It's just having to put up with tritone's constant whining and inability to see the bigger picture which pisses me (and most of the rest of the board) off.

Which is EXACTLY why you're a race baiter. You don't believe anything is wrong with the act, only the girls who refuse to perform in it.
So, if you're not a racist, are you some kind of free-love asswipe who believes that people should fuck anyone & everything? Or, is it that race should be totally disqualified from the why & why nots of the grown adult decisions people make regarding whom they fuck?..and therefore shouldn't be an issue of sexual attraction whatsoever?
Get a fucking clue, toolbag.

Yeah, Tritone whines about ONE of those same topics here.
I don't think DanG said ANYWHERE that the users of the Mr. Marcus forum are costing anyone "millions of dollars". He basically said that piracy as a whole (which costs millions in sales) is accepted there, and whatever spook runs the forum, allows it - as I interpreted it.
BTW, is "download" too long a word to spell in it's entirety? Your typing is worse than someone who prefers to TXT rather than using the fucking phone to make a call!

I don't think DanG said ANYWHERE that the users of the Mr. Marcus forum are costing anyone "millions of dollars". He basically said that piracy as a whole (which costs millions in sales) is accepted there, and whatever spook runs the forum, allows it - as I interpreted it.
No, I am explicitly saying that there is one thread on the Mr. Marcus forum which by itself will have deprived the industry out of at least a couple million bucks.
A quick check of the first 12 pages of that forum at 9.20 am GMT shows the following threads, all dedicated to pirating scenes and/or full movies:
B5fan 3,876,019
Doga 805,997
Jennifer Bush 654,318
ataxx 116,432
Classic 1,219,761
Buttman 270,405
Alcaponi 102,103
misanthrope 802,366
LWCBBMD 211,984
exploited moms 209,321
There are a ton of others that are under the 100,000 views, but most of them have at least 40,000 views.
Just totting up the ones listed above gives us a total of 8,248,706 views. Bearing in mind that most views will result in a download, the worst case scenario is that each download constitutes a lost DVD sale or VOD sale.
If we attribute a nominal loss value of just one dollar to each page view (when in reality it is probably much larger), these ten threads account for just over $8 million dollars in lost revenue/sales in one particular niche.
Now, even if you halve the nominal value 3 times until you get down to each page view representing just 12 and a bit cents, it's still going to be over a million bucks gone bye-bye. That's a hefty chunk of change in anyone's language. And that's from just one forum, and there are plenty of other threads and posts I didn't bother to count.
The reality is that those page views and subsequent downloads are actually a damn sight more costly than a buck. But don't tell tritone that...
Oh, by the way, I believe the 'spook' running the Mr. Marcus forum is actually a white guy.
