@PaytonPlays – You are 100% incorrect in your assertions. Product sales for poles and clothing account for so little of our income that it is inconsequential. Most people spend more on lunch in a month than we make on product sales from poles and clothing.
Does Veena Love her Titanium Gold X-Pole? Yes she does. Is she paid to love it? No she isn't. Is she paid to talk about? Not even a tiny bit. She loves it because it works for her.
As to your admonitions of shame for unfair representation, I am unsure why you would scold us. We tried to sell Both Platinum Stages and X-Pole when we first built the site. In 2008 X-Pole responded immediately with the paperwork and proposal neccessary for our resale agreement with them while Platinum Stages took weeks to call us back and then never replied to a second message left on their answering machine. As to the general admonitions in the forum, opinions are 100% the responsibility of the poster, we do not post nor do we moderate in any fashion to create product bias.
The earlier thread that you refered to was closed after I was blatantly ignored in my request for the thread to be brought back on topic. Not only was I ignored, I was ignored by a stated leader in the pole dance community.

@Platinum Stages – Frankly I expect more from a leader in the pole community. You have shown our members and us no respect by further posting along a line of discussion I had asked to be ceased. Only children seek the last word on an issue, grown-ups understand that a well reasoned argument stands on its own.

@All – I apologize for what this thread has descended into and the spam it may have caused in your inbox. This thread will be locked after this post and I hope that someone will start a new thread discussing the 40mm X-Pole. I would also encourage anyone who'd like to discuss the various properties of brass, brass's effect on pole dancing or any aspect of pole quality to please dig up one of the many threads about these topics or start a new one.

@nymphdancer – I would not suggest getting HughesNET as I have had experience with them and while they advertise connection rates that look fast their latency actually reduces overall internet speeds to that of dial up in most cases.
I empathize with you, we live in the country as well and broadband Internet is not cheap, and the dial-up internet is nearly intolerable as far as speed. Please don't assert however that superfast internet is required as it confuses potential users.
-
@nymphdancer – That is incorrect if your internet connection can maintain a constant connection speed of 1Mbps or higher you can watch the videos just fine. This is not a super-fast connection and for the purposes of broadband saturation reports is not usually even considered "broadband" internet any more.

To All: Please bring this thread back on topic. This is a discussion of the 40mm X-Pole. There are several threads regarding brass poles, care and composition.

The high medium and low options have dissappeared since we've changed streaming technologies. Our current streaming rate pumps out a higher quality video than our preious "high" setting using less bandwidth than our previous "low" setting.
The buffering option is only possible using pseudo-http streaming and not RTMP like we do. The major difference between the two technologies from your perspective will be that RTMP makes it much harder to steal video which is much more of a concern for our user's videos.

Generally updating flash at http://www.flash.com will fix this problem. If it doesn't please contact me using the contact form on the website.

@SadieNikole – X-Pole backs their pole wherever you buy it from, the only thing that is important is to be sure that you are buying a real X-Pole. If you are at all concerned that what you are getting is not the real thing all you have to do is call X-Pole using the phone number on their site http://www.xpoleus.com

@sensualscimitar – All those poles are great poles but there are other considerations if you are going to discuss pricing.
1) Any single piece pole that is longer than 8 feet will incur dramatic shipping charge premiums, shipping anything under 8 feet will usually be $40 but a single piece pole that is even 9 feet will cost almost $200 to ship.
2) If you are going to carry your pole around or store it the X-Pole comes with a case while all other removeable poles require you to purchase that seperately, usually costing $75 or more.
This is just to state that if price is the primary consideration there is a whole picture to look at.
