I think banning breast augmentation is a step too far. Whilst I am certainly no fan of implants, what about the women out there who have to have one or both breasts removed due to medical issues and then have implants so they look normal again.

I'm assuming you are being humorous, rearadmiral, when you say that breast implants are immoral? Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

Nude modelling isn't a problem but I would find porn to be an issue. Dumping a girlfriend isn't such a big issue, what if you found out your wife of 10+ years (with whom you have kids) was a porn star in her past?

I think that could be a much tougher scenario! Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I'm guessing the main reason why a lot of older stuff isn't being redeployed online is that a lot of porn producers don't last long. If they go bust, quite often their catalogue of content goes down with them. Anyone scanning or converting it to the web without permission (hard to get when the producer doesn't exist any more) is liable to prosecution.

While a great deal of such material no doubt still exists in private collection there's no way of putting in on a website legally. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I can't find the stats now, but I read a few weeks ago that the money spent on porn in Europe was 20% more than the US last year (which is relatively low given the vastly larger population of Europe). Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I wish AbbyWinters.com all the best with their move to Europe (even though technically you are competition!). With the law changes over the past few years, which seem to have been getting more anti-porn, in places I would never have predicted, I just hope that Europe remains a sensible centre of freedom.

I try to keep to the system of not selling memberships which are longer than the number of updates I have in stock. That way even if the market dries up and I can't afford more shoots, I can always fulfil my obligations to my existing members.

It's never a gamble for members anyway. If they sign up to a site which goes bust, companies like CCBill will refund them their remaining membership (sites have to contribute to a holdback fund to cover this cost!).

I don't like offering subscriptions which are too long as it ties me into keeping the particular site running for that amount of time regardless of whether it is viable or not.

Of course members who sign up, download all the content, cancel then sign up again a few months later to do the same again put a lot of strain on the traditional style of site. Basically people get all the content for a fraction of the money. Over the last few years I've restructured the features for my members so they benefit from maintaining a recurring membership. A regular income is what keeps sites running. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I suspect a big part of the school uniform thing (for many people) is that's what girls wore when they first became properly "aware" of them.

For me the cheerleader thing does nothing as I don't think I'd even heard of them until long after I left school, and they are still not common in the UK. In that sense the uniform means nothing - I didn't grow up with it and thus it doesn't seem like a real uniform. I know some UK teams etc have experimented with cheerleaders but for most they would just be a pointless distraction from the game. I don't know if that's related to the stop-start nature of American football in comparison to the continuous-play nature of traditional football?

It's probably not helped by the fact that the only people I've ever seen dressed as cheerleaders in real life were my daughter and some of her friends when they were 9. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

Sorry Khan, I should have read all the way to the bottom of the thread before I replied. Your answer is spot on.

I've always tried to ensure I used consistent naming for my models so when the same girl has appeared on several of my sites she has the same name. Also if they have a preferred name I almost always use that. It makes it easier for them to remember their names in videos too!

Khan is quite right about not knowing what names other websites have used. And if a model appears on three other sites, each time under a different name - which do I use?

There is another confusion here. I sort out names for models at the time of the shoot (so they know what to call each other during the talkie bits), but between the shoot and the videos being published on my site, 2 - 4 months might pass. Meanwhile another site might use the same models and publish before me, using different names. I can't seriously go back and dub new names on the videos.

My guess is that the web site (webmaster) is in control. Not the model or the photographer or person who shot the video.

Does the contract that gives the web site the right to publish a photo shoot or video also give the web site the right to name the photo shoot or video? Or does the right to name the material belong to someone else (the model, the photographer, or who, specifically)?

Hmmm, that's a little complicated. Ultimately the model is in control as if she won't sign a release which gives the webmaster control (which is the norm) then either a new release, where she keeps control of her name, is needed (which is not unusual for higher-profile models with a well known name) or the shoot doesn't happen.
In my experience most models are not too worried about what name I use for them, they just want to get paid. Having said that, my sites use mostly amateur models who don't aim to develop it into a career anyway.

A model release can vary hugely. Many give the webmaster, or owner of the resultant material, total rights over it and how it is used/presented, but if I used a professional model who was maintaining a specific image and selling herself as a brand, then she might well have her own release form which would control all sorts of things, including possibly how long I am allowed to use the photos for. On top of that there are probably contract law differences between the US and Europe. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I used to work with European models when I first started out. Many of them refused to let me use their real names and had no interest in using a fixed stagename. Many didn't want to make a career of it, they were just happy for me to avoid their real name.

Another thing I will say that a lot of Eastern European females names are not too pleasant sounding for us English speakers. Try "Agnieszka" for example. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I'm the same as you on that one, Cap'n. I've seen a lot of more extreme stuff in the past few years (goes with my job ) so I'm pretty sure I know exactly what I like. My tastes haven't changed much since I was a teenager. The only thing I've noticed is my age range of choice has gotten older but I guess that's a natural side-effect of getting older myself.

Both could be exactly the same. MP4 is just a wrapper (like AVI), but if the codec (the actual compression used) used within the wrapper is h264 (probably the most common) then for the same video quality the MP4 file will be noticeably smaller than the DivX. If they are both recorded at the same bitrate then the MP4 will be better quality (assuming the source material is better than the DivX version). It can be extremely confusing.

I always make sure I specify the pixel resolution of videos on my site to be as clear as possible.

Your problem sounds like your graphics card has some hardware assistance for decoding DivX files and that some bottleneck in your system is stopping it decoding h264 files fast enough. It could also be your video player or the details of the video format used by ALSscan? Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I forgot to say I also use Skyfire on a daily basis. Excellent browser on my PDA - has the advantage of supporting just about every format and content type. It's the first browser I've tried which happily plays flash video (and several other embedded formats) without having to start up a separate player. It's nice to be able to browser YouTube, DailyMotion etc. in exactly the same way as on a PC. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I still use Firefox as my primary, even though it is a little unstable and crashes too often. I don't like Chrome's interface and I can't say it feels any faster than Firefox. I guess both are limited by my Internet connection so the difference won't be apparent.

For ease of use I prefer Opera but it has occasional compatibility issues with some websites and fails to import settings from Firefox.

Internet Explorer 8 is painfully slow (to the point of being bizarre) and I don't know why. I uninstalled Safari as it was completely unstable and, to date, it is the only application which has ever crashed my current OS (Vista). Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

In reply to b): I have never thought it is exclusive to porn, although I do think people find it almost too easy to voice their complaints on the web and that tends to cause people to sometimes complain about things which really aren't that important to them. If they had to write a letter they wouldn't bother but when it's just a forum post they complain about any aspect they don't like. It can make everything seem much more negative, especially when peppered with abuse/threats etc.

Larss is absolutely right about not letting your anger overflow into replies to the customer. It never improves the situation. I view an apology as basic politeness. I'm sure that if I wasn't polite and diplomatic in my own forums (both public and members') then I would not still be in business.

I think you (probably inadvertently) hit the nail on the head saying "you can't please everybody". The problem for webmasters is that often it seems we can't please anyone at all. People are much more ready to complain than praise (that does in life in general).

Over the years I've become quite thick-skinned but it can still hurt when a minor mistake causes dozens of complaints. On one occasion recently a broken link caused someone to threaten to report me to the FBI. I've had death threats, frequent verbal abuse and people who post comments in public forums full of blatant lies. The number of times I receive comments or e-mails with something positive to say is sadly very small by comparison. It would be easy to think that the world was against me and that everything I did was wrong.

However my main site has been running successfully for 7 years and has many long term members who keep coming back so I must be doing something right.

Using that measure (which is the ONLY way to do it) my site is successful, but I have to say it often doesn't feel like it! Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I suspect that if the aim of her post was to market her site then posting something which is fundamentally quite negative really isn't a good way to go about it?

I read her post (the start of this thread) more as venting annoyance at the situation. Something which every webmaster will experience several times per week (probably several times per day). It's best not to vent in public forums but what she said was pretty mild - I've seen much, much worse posted elsewhere. And, anyway, it started an interesting thread!

That would be hilarious. Maybe they'd find out why 90% of new adult sites go bust in the first 12 months.

I genuinely believe that the vast majority of adult site surfers have got no idea of the technical and legal complexities of running a site, the interface and layout issues, the compatibility problems, the cost and other factors with bandwidth and hosting, the way marketing and promotion changes over time (ie what worked two years ago doesn't work now), changes in technology (eg HD, streaming, 3D etc), organising shoots, organising equipment and organising models, and everything else that webmasters have to cope with and achieve.

We just have to be resigned to the fact that the majority of them are not interested in what goes on beside the scenes, they just want the best results for their money. It can be annoying and depressing but who can blame them? Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I wish all the billing companies would outlaw that practise. It's misleading and dodgy. Sure offer savings by buying multiple site memberships together but there's no valid excuse for pre-ticked "options" which are clearly designed to deceive more money out of the customer.

I have never done that and never will. Apart from any moral standpoint on my part, it would damage the reputation of my sites.

Maybe it should be grounds for a site's review being no more than a one line warning? Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

Hi Miss Hybrid,

I did a lot of research with my members on this one a few months back, eventually going for a photo size of 2048 pixels. I got around the scrolling problem by using a script which allows members to choose from a range of viewing sizes. That seems to keep everyone happy. I know some sites offer photos in 2560 or larger but there was no support amongst my members for that.

In my experience the video/photo preference seems to run at about 66/33, but I guess some sites tend to attract video lovers and others those with a preference for photos. A couple of years ago I thought it would be all video by now but there still a lot more than negligible support for good quality photos out there.

I have to say that the last 5-6 years of progress on my main website (SGC) has been mostly driven by comments and suggestions from users. Obviously not everything that is requested is viable, legal or sensible, but there have been excellent ideas for games, forfeits, stories etc. which have been incorporated into my site. SGC's members' forum is an integral and important part of the site - I'd hate to run without it.

As to complaints, I sort out any that occur myself as I don't have the resources to afford a 24/7 support team. Thankfully I rarely get complaints but it's taken years of fine tuning the site to get to that point. My site relies on members staying month after month so I can't afford to let complaints go unanswered or unsolved.

One issue I do hit quite often is when a member suggests a change that they believe is simple when it would actual mean massive changes to the structure of the site. They don't always believe my reasons for not adopting suggestions! Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I don't split my videos or zipfiles but I get complaints when files get too large from the surprising large number of members who are still on dial-up or pseudo broadband connections. If the file is broken up then can start enjoying the content while downloading the update.

Also with the example of a 2GB file (I don't use files larger than about 400MB myself) that would also be a nightmare to upload to my server. It would be very tempting to split that into 4-5 parts simply to make it easier and quicker (I could announce the first parts as they arrive rather than waiting for the whole lot to upload).

You see so much stuff around where topless is described as nude. I find it annoying too, Capn. But then at the other end of the scale, you get people who describe something as mild as topless as being porn.

I think there needs to be some sort of governing body for porn which could formalise the terminology. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

Doing it for fun is viable, so long as you can cover the hosting costs etc. Just make sure you have to rights to post any photos before you post them. If you live in the US there are a mass of other regulations you may have to comply with - probably best to get legal help with that one.

I would never recommend running a porn site because you want to make a "ton of money". It's just as hard to make money in porn as any other market and the competition is ferocious. The only wise reason to run a porn site is because you enjoy it. If you can make a profit from it too then that's a nice bonus.

I'm convinced that although the technology is more accessible now than it was 6-8 years ago, I think it's much harder to start now as there is a lot more regulation and the market is much more experienced and focused than it was back then. Basically a lot of the competition are much more professional. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

As a site owner I don't feel it's my place to join in with this discussion, but I just had to post to say this is an AMAZING thread. I don't think I've ever heard so much sense on one subject in one place. It's refreshing to hear and has cheered me up. Thanks for proving there are a large number of sensible, reasoned people still out there who value quality, consistency and honesty. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

Personally I have no interest at all in 3D pictures or video. I don't think it adds anything to the experience. Having to wear special glasses is just silly and crossing your eyes(!) that's just ludicrous. From what I've read that between 5% and 12% of the population cannot see 3D anyway, and another 30-40% can only see it in bursts (ie with concentration). Just look at the figures for how many people had to leave Avatar showings with nausea, dizziness, double vision and headaches.
When I watch 3D movies on a cinema screen I get a weird effect. I get a nice 3D effect as depth into the screen, but have never seen anything appear to project out from the screen. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

A view I share, but so many companies are terrified to risk even the faint possibility of association with something illegal. Ignorance and paranoia can be two of the most dangerous things in life. Freedom, on many levels, is often the victim of those two. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

Thanks Khan. I think I've got it sorted now. That's weird the way I was logged into BOTH accounts at the same time!

Basically when I clicked on the "Edit Profile" button it was taking me to the edit page for the other account. Then when I returned to the forum it was going back to using the first account. So totally seemless I didn't notice it was dealing with two accounts.

I've logged out of Ed2008 and I think I've set up Ed2009. (Hopefully the account I'm posting for now). Is it safe to delete Ed2008? Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I'd vote for a pro-porn MP (provided I agreed with most of the rest of his/her policies), but I couldn't easily vote for an anti-porn MP. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

I'm not seeing a SIG associated with your account. You can try creating it again or else email it to me and I'll see if I can get it working. Just use the "Contact Us" link.

Thanks Khan. I'll create it again. The weird thing is everything works fine in the support threads (discussing a review with one of the review staff), and for a while it worked fine here too. I'll e-mail it to you shortly. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

Checked and rechecked. Everything is there. They appear in support messages but not forum posts. Weird. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

We need some sort of definitions, even if we move away from using the word "softcore" or "hardcore", because currently there are so many differing interpretations that these phrases are largely meaningless, but more importantly they are not helpful.

It would be extremely useful to be able to categorise or label levels of explicitness without resorting to a detailed run-down and what is and is not desired.

Dictionary definitions of words and their use in Internet/Porn/Technology jargon are often at variance. Look at the word "friend" for example! Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

As far as I know good quality foundation can cover up most tattoos. I don't know what the limitations are on that, but it's MUCH easier than trying to paint them out on the resultant photos. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.

Shame you can't patent words (but you can trade mark them).

I think we should start a campaign to give softcore/midcore/hardcore some sort of formal recognition. I'll write an article about it on my blog for starters.

I agree with Capn's definition. Sounds spot on to me. Webmaster of StripGameCentral and A Measure of Curiosity.
