Well you can't make everyone happy. :'

Well I imagine, for most guys anyway, the porn videos have a better chance of being exciting than the X10 video ad that we have to put up with every time we go to the site. ;)

Man he's right (not sure about the whole porn thing, something's a little wacko there). But the X10 site, the actually plain x10 site is full of crap, advertisements and pictures. I find it really difficult to navigate or find anything I am looking for. Someone really should redo it and soon. Maybe more people would use it and there would be more customers if the site was more easily useable.

I seen in another forum that the porn idea was from there CEO. but of course we all blame the boss anyways lol
I'm thinking they must be getting better sells from it and if that's so the SHAME on you who are buying more because of the girls on there. But my guess is that they might still be in the "lets see if it works phase" hurry and change it.

That might explain why it remains X rated (no pun intended). It also speaks to the "brightness", marketing knowledge, and general morality of X10 leadership.

I think their target audience is the young techo geeks who have to buy every new gadget around. There isn't much market left for us old timers who have pretty much all the X10 devices we need.

I like to think I'm one of those young techno geeks rofl ...and yes I do buy just about any new gadget lol but I still hate and think the site is disrespectful.

If the X10 site ever asks me for a credit card before I can look at any products, I'll think it's time to rename it the XXX10 site. ;)

AS an X10 user for nearly 30 years (first computer interface was a CP290 that ran with my C64 -- still have 2 of them that probably still work) I think I'll use my first post to join the clamor to PLEASE request the X10 powers that be to work on the website to make it less of an insult to the intelligence of visitors. I agree with many of the negative characterizations and I'll offer mine suggesting that a visit to the site, even the allegedly original version, is like being at a really sleazy carnival. Constant barrage of Name-Your-Own-Price and other similar affronts -- even after you've answered "No Thanks" has made me begin looking to other suppliers for my X10 needs. As a long-time user, my needs typically are for only a few items at a time or maybe to try one or two new items -- I'm not looking for a mega deal. Like another poster who wished for a simple list, please consider those of us who are just boring unglamorous repeat customers, but as I mentioned, I'm starting to shop where I feel less like I'm presumed to be foolish enough to be impressed by the barking, and I don't mean from my old robo-dog! As I started composing this post, the warning that no one has posted a reply to this topic for at least 120 days suggests that so far, X10 management isn't listening so far, I guess I'll be shopping other places. I did offer feedback on the site when prompted to be brutally honest but can't tell that was paid attention to either. I won't say I'd never buy from the website again, but I'm beginning to find other sources that are less infuriating. If I understand capitalism properly, probably the best chance of having X10's potentates come around is if we take what business we can/will elsewhere. Insteon anyone?

There always seems to problems when a company's marketing department underestimates the intellectual and maturity base of its customers.

Ain't that the truth!!!! Witness the ads X10 ran with the scantly clad girls. Also X10USA's marketing sucks. My local former X10 dealer, who I got my CM11A and Active Home from was miffed when X10 REFUSED to sell him the CM15A and AHP at the same rate they sold the CM11A/AH for, then they made his dealer prices for TM751 and RR501 just a penny less than X10 sold them for. He eventually closed his X10 business and sold off his inventory.
The last time I needed a new RR501, I got it from Automated Outlet down in Lewisburg,TX for less than X10 sells it for. They even sell the CM15A/AHP for the same price X10 sells it for. I suspect they don't sell a lot. I get all my X10 stuff from them, their shipping is flat rate regardless of the order size.
