Starting an adult forum... is it still profitable?

    Hi,
    Like I told some of you already, I will probably start an adult forum very soon, and I'm searching for some answers on my questions:
    1) Which are the best & high paying advertising companies?
    2) Which ''shared'' host is the best for adult forums? Was searching, but I'm still thinking about which one since 99% has something which is not good...
    3) Is it easy to get members?
    4) Will I get a lot complaints by big sites like bangbros & brazzers for copyrighted material or not?

    Hope you can answer these questions...

    Hosting wise, i use startlogic for hosting my forum and i have not had any problems yet.
    Member wise, it all depends how how much effort you put into it to get your website known

    As for making money, there are tons of adult forums, so you might want to make it have some kind of niche to get certain people interested

    2.I'm now using exmasters.com to host my adult streaming website.So i think they can easily handle your forum
    3.Yes my site is getting around 20 member/day without promoting
    4.No unless your forum is getting bigger than their site

    You can use some adult affiliate programs (google it). Most of the shared hosting don't accept adult website.

    Always still profitable. People will always find a new venue as long as you offer something the other forums don't have.

    I don't have a forum, but in the adult realm I mostly use adengage and blacklabel, and have used etology in the past. I like them all. Great customer service.

    You don't make alot with adults site now a day.
    Free adult contents are everywhere, you can download for free.
    Maybe you can still sell adult toys, and sell ADs on your site.

    Yep, that's what I'm doing now :D

    And euhm.. well I would do a forum full of free stuff, and for VIPs high quality movies from well known sites like bangbros, brazzers etc... probably a lot of people will buy it than...
    The only thing is that it's illegal; but I will find something on that ;)

    Greetz and thanks everybody

    Have you promoted it well?
    Ever done banner sales? If yes, how did it pay?

    Yes, it's like that...
    And in the beginning I would only charge 10$ per month as it costs 35$ per month at brazzers and bangbros costs money too etc...

    Maybe later I would ask more, but I think 10$ isn't much for HQ.. but I don't know yet.. will find out :)

    Yes I believe free porn is still profitable, you have to think that these porn tube site must have some nice bandwidth bills and somethings gota pay for it.

    That's how I look at it anyway.
