I would say that there is not any problem with Stickam....the problem is , parents dont care enough to monitor what their kids are doing on the internet. If you are worried about what they may be subjected to...get rid of the internet...nuff said!

to be honest be for you start barking up the tree of stickam, why don't you talk about parent's now a days that refuse to monitor their kids. Or the mere fact that parents are just becoming lazy in raising there kids with no ethics. Or the parents just don't care at all. I live in a town where on Friday nights parents drop there kids off at an out door shopping center called the river and leave. Where their kids are free to do what they want ranging from what ive seen being smoke, drink, have sex, or just leave and go to parties. So before we start trying to dismantle Stickam for bring people together post a damn story about how parents these days are well bluntly lazy ***** with raising their kids.

Amy Tiemann is obviously uneducated about how the adult industry works, and I'd further say she's ignorant about businesses in general.

$220,000 in daily revenues mean nothing when you have to pay out more than that to performers, resellers, and overrides to the reseller who referred the first reseller. Porn companies are hurting these days. Free porn is easy to come by with sites like porn-tube, x-tube, etc, and the old business models of the 1990s just don't work anymore.

This isn't a porn company trying to recruit kids into porn, and her suggestion is one of the most asinine things I've ever read.

This is a porn company abandoning ship in hopes of becoming the biggest thing since myspace and you-tube.

duh.
