Evolution after 5 years

I think playmail.sprawl.it was a funny website, anyway…….

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes…again

This is the end

    You will be missed. Brought back a lot of memories of long past Playmates. Really enjoyed Playmate of the day and the Match Race. Nothing good last forever and the bad thing just stay and stay.

    Thanks for all the great pics. It’s unfortunate that playboy themselves cant seem to offer a great service like you did.

    Funny, I had begun to think that I would subscribe to Playboy because of all the Bunny’s I got to see here. Porn has become blahse’ on the net and seeing the beauty in the Playboy photos reawakened what art there is in what they do. Now, they have just made me realize that it is all corporate and nothing more.

    Thanks for the fun while it lasted.

    First of all please forgive my total lack of Italian, a fine language that i lack the ability to understand. I am so sorry to here this very sad news, I guessed as much might be afoot after I started getting error404 messages and given the current litigious attitude over copyright I am not surprised, but still feel that Playboy are being extremely petty and childish about what was just a bit of harmless fun, indeed they might actually have learnt a thing or two had they paid attention to your voting pole system. I will miss Playmail very much indeed, but wish you well in whatever venture you may choose to pursue in future. Good luck to you.

    Thank you for the wonderful site. I can’t buy PB in my country, so it was great to have an opportunity to view all the playmates. I wish I knew about your site earlier, and never thought that the site will be closed, so I haven’t DLed many but is there a way I can DL the data somehow?

    I,too,loved your site. I loved the choice of pics, pics that I had not seen.
    I remain curious about how and where you got them, especially as I am currently looking for two pics in particular:
    1.More shots of Playboy Playmate Victoria Cunningham in the coat that she wears in her centerfold, and
    2.More shots of Playmate Shay Knuth in that mini-dress she has on in the disco sequence of pics in her cnterfold spread.

    Well, after I noticed I wasn’t getting the daily email anymore, I pretty much suspected that Playboy, Inc. had gotten to you. Thanks for the email letting us all know what happened. And thanks for keeping the site going as long as you did.

    Oh, a question: after all the rankings and match race that was done, I’d say you must have accumulated a pretty accurate tabulation of which photos and which playmates are the most popular. Probably a heck of a lot more accurate than the rankings that Playboy has published in their magazine. Do you have a final result we could all see? I doubt Playboy, Inc. would be interested in it, because they don’t want to publicly acknowledge you. But we KNOW it’s probably the best ranking out there.

    Sorry man! I really enjoyed it and I am sure that you have somewhat of a ‘victory’ in that you have had so many supporters and have livened up the lives of your followers.

    Good luck, God bless, and “remember the Playmates!”

    What a shame. It was a unique resource. I wish there had been some warning. I’m sure PB thought it was cutting into their business, so their actions are hardly surprising. While that may be true to a degree, my guess is that most of your followers wouldn’t subscribe to PB Online. Especially now.
    PB has been going the wrong way for years. They used to have beautiful, natural girls. Now the standard is blond and skinny with silicone tops. Silicone makes girls look great in clothes, but undressed they’re all the same. Boring, boring, boring.

    Sorry to hear the news – I was looking forward to your return although I thought it was on the cards that Hef’s Empire would step in to stop a free of charge site when they could make even more money out of what you’ve been doing extremely well for the past few years. Thought you’d be around for much longer but it’s all about money at the end of the day.

    Especially liked the month by month list of playmates – not just lovely ladies but a history of the pinup showing the changing styles of glamour photography since the fifties.

    But having said that, playmates have become more and more unreal since the eighties and, for the last twenty years, have just been barbies and plastic in every sense of the word. Always fantasy figures but now totally robotic.

    Many thanks for such an excellent website – hope you’ll keep in touch with your appreciative clientele.

    Hope to meet you in your next endeavour !!

    Once I saw the website was having problems, I began to worry. Then when I saw it had finally been taken offline, I was truly disappointed. All your hard work over the years was certainly appreciated, as you had the finest collection anywhere. More substantial and satisfying than Playboy.com itself! Good luck to you, and thanks again for all the great high quality images.

    Waht is funny is that your website got me to join playboy’s cyber club…I wanted to see more pictures! Would be interesting to know how much that happened…

    You had made a great job with all the information and pictures about the playboy magazine , and , of course, we could see the history evolution of the humanity in the 20 century second half (50s to 2000s)the pictures show us, not just the girls, but the evolution thru the years, clothes, styles, the thinking and dreams of a moment, and his changes of values… thanks for everything!!! im really sad it ends, dont know where i can find now the girls from 60s and 70s …

    Thanks and Good-Bye. You will be missed. Just keep in mind that you are just following the room. We each have our own. Soom fork and some intersect. It realy doesn’t seem like (5) five years. Are you sure? Boy how time can fly! Letus know of your next adventure of the path that you follow, you have a great creative talent, it would be wrong not to furture your abilities. REMEBER – we’er friends.

    Great site. I downloaded each playmate as you sent it hoping to get the entire collection. I remember many of the older ones from peeking at my dads Playboy magazines. Sure wish I had taken the time to download the collection. Any chance of receiving it via e-mail as a package, or on CD?

    Best of luck in your endeavors. Keep us informed of what you will be doing.

    I am very sorry to see your site go but I suspicioned Playboy might be at the root of it when you were down for more than one day. Playboy(I wonder if they can get me for using their name here?) is notorious for zealous copyright enforcement. Good luck and I hope they leave you alone now. You had some fine pics and a good idea for them. I wouldn’t be surprised if Playboy now copies it in some form.
    I hope you don’t think this tactless at this time, but do you have idea where I can get some hi def pics of the very early Playmates; late 50’s & 60’s? Mickey Winters in Paticular.
    Anyway, good luck and let me know if there is anything I can do if Playboy won’t let you alone. 🙂

    Yes, as do many others, I must congratulate you on a wonderful site.
    It was great to be able to explore the whole history of the playmate, make comparisons and give our own ratings.
    The standard of pictures and the quality of organization of your site were both excellent.
    I too, wish I had made better use of the site but it just seemed to be a part of daily life after a while. No more!!!
    Is it greedy to wonder, with some of the others, if your resources have to be lost for ever??? And could we at least get some final results of all that voting.
    Thank you once again.

    Kevin.

    Just as Akbar stated – Too bad Playboy Enterprises is too thick headed to see the benefit of your incredible site. Unfortunately I only discovered you 5 months ago, not 5 years ago. Your site had me reliving my growing up years, early adulthood, even looking into Playmates from the 50’s, 60’s, and early/mid 70’s that I never gave the time of day to before. I actually even bought old issues due to the exposure your site gave to these women WAY PAST The lame exposure that the Cyber Club, etc gave when I was a member of that. Even some of the newer Playmates, despite many with umpteen tattoos and shaved pre-pubescent looking “kitty” – your site had me taking a second look at Playboy after dismissing them in the early part of this decade (and canceling a 20+ year subscription) for the same silicone overdone, bottle blonde, cookie cutter rehash every month. Thank you for the Playmate of the Day and Match Race. I knew why you went down as soon as you did…just wish for once Playboy would realize the positive publicity you gave them, especially for free.

    Rotten of pb…anytime someone shows a free spirit, or great idea, it seems some corporation feels the need to be violated in some fashion, and that is the end…i grew up reading pb, but since the mid 90’s ran away from the shaven, implanted, lipoed, surgically altered aliens in pb…with hef, it seems its all about the money and not about the art anymore…he has lost touch with the people who got him where he is…gonna miss my updates…great job and thanks for letting us know what happend…

    real shame its down for good.
    The general collection(1953-2007) is available by searching in any torrent site “playboy collection”

    but the layout playmail had and more extra pics was priceless. hopefully someone took the time to d/l all pics and will torrent entire collection soon.

    I can’t begin to express my appreciation for all the pleasant memories of years past. As others have commented, it is really a shame that Playboy is too short-sighted to see how your site benefits them. Good luck in any future endeavors, and please keep my e-mail address in your mailing list for any future ventures.
