I don't take a ride with anyone that I do not know.

Hmm, I'd make it one to many for a threesome

Since you can't manage to count to "gangbang," I daresay Lisa, Peaches and I will have to carry on without you.

What else are three young virgins to do?

Hahahahahhah Morgan...that made me laugh out loud!

[Hell Puppy]

-Where are you from? Where have you lived?

Pedigree Georgia boy. They have papers on me.

-What do you do in the Adult industry?

Everything. We've been 90%+ self contained dating back to 1997, which means over time I've done just about everything. The exception is pose for pics, be thankful for that.

-What other jobs have you done outside of Adult? Which of those jobs (if any or all) molded you for what you do now?

I.T. senior management.

-Name 5 people (if you can) that you would still interact with and why if you were to leave the Adult industry completely?

I wouldn't intentionally NOT talk to anyone just because I left the industry. At the bare minimum I suspect I'd keep up with most of the locals. I still talk to people I went to college with, held previous jobs with, etc, adult would be no different.

-Is there anyone you wish were eliminated from the industry?

Although I hate anyone who pisses in the well, I'm a firm believer in leaving regulation and intervention out of it and letting a free market work itself out. Shorter answer: no.

-Who in the industry do you believe does not get enough credit for what they do?

The recruiters who keep the talent pool of young hotties stocked. Anyone can learn to take pics, produce a site, buy traffic, etc. But go try to find yourself a few young hotties who'll agree in writing to have their naked ass plastered all over the net, and you'll quickly find it aint easy even in the most target rich of environments.

-How old are you?

39

-Are you married? Significant other?

No, regardless of what Peaches says about me and Richard N. Bush.

-What services do you seek out? In other words, are you always looking for content, designers, payout promotions?

Always looking for traffic like anyone else. Beyond that, our designers are constantly overworked these days. I'd consider outsourcing some bulk deals on banners and galleries if the price were right.

-What services do you provide and why are your services something everyone should use?

We pretty much do our own thing and only do private deals with people we really know. We may open our doors a little wider soon though. I keep threatening.

What services / programs / host / designers / etc., do you recommend? People / services you use.

I aint touching this one with a 10 foot pole, I'll leave out someone and offend them.

-Do you see yourself in this industry in 1 year? 5 years?

1 year, probably. 5 year, maybe.

-Where does your handle come from?

I used it in college in the "online communities" that were on the campus computer systems. When I started using the adult boards, I tried to use simple stuff like my initials, but seems my initials are the same as some rather large players in the biz and caused confusion. So I tried several others on for size, and changed handles over and over. I had been after "hellpuppy.com" for years and when I finally secured it, I decided that was once again also going to be my handle.

-Have you ever worked for / owned another adult program / service?

I once tried my hand at working for a bunch of mainstreamers who had a brilliant idea for an alternative billing mechanism. My advice to anyone who gets startup and IPO fever, understand the financing thoroughly and verify it all before you commit your time and energy to it. They still owe me money. Also took away alot of momentum and energy from my own stuff while fucking around with them. Very costly experience, but it paid massive dividends in lessons learned.

-Do you enjoy talking business on the phone, or would you rather keep things limited to icq / email?

Email first and foremost. Email is how I organize everything, if you email me about something I will deal with it and get back to you as soon as I can. ICQ is second, but I generally only turn it on after I'm pretty much done working for the day. Phone is last. I'll use the phone when a quick conversation will save two days of back and forth, but phone people generally suck the hours right out of the day if you let 'em.

-If you were given 1 million dollars tax-free today, what would you do with it?

Blow a small percentage of it just for shits and giggles. Invest the rest in property, a few stocks and bonds, and maybe buy another small business purely as an investment.

-Do you consider $1000 a lot of money? Why or why not?

Depends on context. If I found it in the seat cushions, yeah. If it was the size of a dinner check for two people, yeah. As part of my personal wealth? No. Consider it this way, if I lose $1000 in the market on a given day, does it bother me? Not at all.

-If you were to submit a business proposal regarding the infrastructure of a new affiliate program, what is one portion of that proposal that would stand out? In other words, what would you consider the single most important feature that would make or break your program?

Exclusive content. No cookie cutter sites.

-Do you think TGP people lie about the numbers? Is TGP traffic a goldmine, or is it worthless?

To steal one from serge, the soup needs water too, TGP's provide ALOT of water.

If you provide a service, can you offer people in this thread a deal?

I can recommend a good steakhouse in almost any large city in the U.S.

What are you working on now personally, both adult, non-adult, as an employee or owner?

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. Ask me again in a month.

What are you good at?

I am creative. I'm an idea man.

[sarettah]

Couldn't you have done this multiple guess ? Or true false ? Or even a matching, ya know, two lists and you connect them with the lines (I like to make my lines look like arrows). No, you have to go with a version that I can't even tell whether it's short answer or essay !!!! (<----please note over usage of punctuation for added emphasis)

Before I answer any of this, I need every one in the thread to sign, scan and return to me a lifetime non disclosure agreement.

[sarettah]

-Where are you from? Where have you lived?

I was born in Hollis, NY (but I don't remember it very well because we moved before I was 1). Lived the first 17 years of my life in the "W" of Wantagh, NY (which is actually kind of part of Levittown, Levitt houses, Levitt Schools, Levitt pools, Levitt people). Went to a year of school in upstate NY and then joined the Navy. Went to boot camp in Great Lakes, IL. School in Key West, Fl. Stationed in Bermuda, Ferndale Ca. and Cape Hatteras, NC.

Came out to KC, MO when I got out of the Navy. Transferred with a company to Odessa, TX for a year or so. Then back here to KC and have been here ever since.

-What do you do in the Adult industry?

Hardly anything I hawk my programming services skills predominantly while trying to come up with the next big thing.

-What other jobs have you done outside of Adult? Which of those jobs (if any or all) molded you for what you do now?

Uh. That's a long list. I babysat. I was a lifeguard for several years. I have been a camp counselor. I washed dishes, waited tables, did landscaping, had a paper route or two. In the Navy I was a super secret Ocean systems technician. I have done sign painting, photography, graphic design, been an office manager, been a warehouse manager, made kids clothes and, um , oh yeah. I have operated computer systems and programmed computers for a whole long time.

-Name 5 people (if you can) that you would still interact with and why if you were to leave the Adult industry completely?

Serge, well because he's Serge.
Nick, pretty much for the same reason (not that he's Serge, because he's Nick) How can you quantify these things.
MrYum (VNWR reg) He and I get along pretty well, I have met him and spoken to him many times.
Harry (Dravyk) I would miss his calls too much.
CJ - I always like yakking with CJ, I would miss it

There are many more that I would love to think I would stay in touch with too

-Is there anyone you wish were eliminated from the industry?

Lololololol. Everyone that is after any market share I want a piece of Seriously

-Who in the industry do you believe does not get enough credit for what they do?

I'll pass on this one for now, please.

-How old are you?

I will be 50 (oh my god) in November

-Are you married? Significant other?

Yes, I have been married for 5 years and yes she is my significant other

-What services do you seek out? In other words, are you always looking for content, designers, payout promotions?

I am sometimes looking for content and design stuff. If I would build more stuff I would be looking for affiliate programs. I also sometimes purchace activeX controls and scripts/components for various projects.

-What services do you provide and why are your services something everyone should use?

I do custom programming predominantly. If you want a program to do what YOU want it to, you should go custom instead of trying to modify a "One size fits all" solution to your needs. You should always use me because my programs don't break and I develop programs and systems quickly in a real time development environment. I haven't seen a problem yet that couldn't be solved in TWO WEEKS.

What services / programs / host / designers / etc., do you recommend? People / services you use.

I am going to pass for now on this.

-Do you see yourself in this industry in 1 year? 5 years?

In 1 year, maybe. In 5 years, who knows.

-Where does your handle come from?

I needed a handle when I first got on the net and I didn't want to be something like rus9999. So, I took the first name of my company and turned it around backwards

-Have you ever worked for / owned another adult program / service?

I worked for a large hosting center from 1999-2001.

-Do you enjoy talking business on the phone, or would you rather keep things limited to icq / email?

I would rather do phone over any other medium.

-If you were given 1 million dollars tax-free today, what would you do with it?

Retire

-Do you consider $1000 a lot of money? Why or why not?

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. 10 years ago 1k was a lot of money to me to have in my pocket. Now I find I won't drive down the street without at least 1k. I don't know why, lololol... For the same reason I no longer have to eat macaroni and cheese

-If you were to submit a business proposal regarding the infrastructure of a new affiliate program, what is one portion of that proposal that would stand out? In other words, what would you consider the single most important feature that would make or break your program?

Not answering that one...lol..

-Do you think TGP people lie about the numbers? Is TGP traffic a goldmine, or is it worthless?

Some lie, some don't. Some TGP traffic is worthless, some can be good.

If you provide a service, can you offer people in this thread a deal?

I always offer deals. No price is ever set in stone and a trade is sometimes better than cash.

What are you working on now personally, both adult, non-adult, as an employee or owner?

I work a full time job doing marketing database systems. I also help my wife with http://www.weekend-jewelry.com, http://www.weekendjewelry.com and http://www.paperjewels.com by doing backend programming, scripts and database stuff for her. I am working on what to do with http://www.fuckingprogrammers.com at the moment while also starting cut 2 of a very cool client access front end at the day job.

What are you good at?

I am good at system design, database design, program design and coding. I paint and have been in a number of art shows. I'm a damn good swimmer. I am pretty good with words when I need to be.

The answer itself has varying degrees of interpretation. The first is in stone, the second is in compassion. That is the great thing about forced answers, the "no comments" are just as meaningful as the essay replies, they are just as telling

[VooMan]

-Where are you from? Where have you lived?

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Bay Ridge to be exact. After 28 years I moved to Pennsylvania. Five years later I found myself in Atlanta.

-What do you do in the Adult industry?

I work for NationalNet. Just passed my six year anniversary.

-What other jobs have you done outside of Adult? Which of those jobs (if any or all) molded you for what you do now?

Hmm... I've had a few, but I don't see Accountant or Cabinet Maker really grooming me for the adult industry.

-Name 5 people (if you can) that you would still interact with and why if you were to leave the Adult industry completely?

That's a short list, and they should know who they are...

-Is there anyone you wish were eliminated from the industry?

I don't wish anything on anybody.

-Who in the industry do you believe does not get enough credit for what they do?

Some people, like myself, enjoy being behind the scenes. I think people who want credit seek it out, and those who don't, don't. There are probably a ton of good people nobody knows about...

-How old are you?

Turned 39 a while back.

-Are you married? Significant other?

No and No

-What services do you provide and why are your services something everyone should use?

I think everyone here knows who we are and what we do, so I'm not gonna spam.

-Do you see yourself in this industry in 1 year? 5 years?

That's a good question. Who knows where the next five years will take me...

-Where does your handle come from?

hahaha I had a girlfriend in high school who had a rather strong Brooklyn accent. When she said my name it sounded more like Anj-vrew, and one of my friends ran with it. Anj-vrew became Anj-voo, which became shortened to Voo. One day he said "Hey VooMan..." and it stuck...

-Have you ever worked for / owned another adult program / service?

Nope

-Do you enjoy talking business on the phone, or would you rather keep things limited to icq / email?

It all depends. Sometimes I prefer email when I want to think something through, but most of the time I pick up the phone.

-If you were given 1 million dollars tax-free today, what would you do with it?

Buy property

-Do you consider $1000 a lot of money? Why or why not?

It's all relative. $1000 used to be like a million to me. I just spent that on a weed eater and a leaf blower. They're both STIHL... {/Tim Allen Grunt}

-Do you think TGP people lie about the numbers? Is TGP traffic a goldmine, or is it worthless?

I made a good living off TGP's, but that was back in 99. I don't know the status today, other than the fact that they all burn a shitpile of bandwidth and we like that.

If you provide a service, can you offer people in this thread a deal?

I leave the wheeling and dealing to LBBV and Sweet T. But I would like a Lionel Train, a GI Joe with Kung Fu Grip, a pony... and...

What are you working on now personally, both adult, non-adult, as an employee or owner?

I just shut down the last of my free sites and don't have any projects on the burner these days. Been keeping busy with my job and projects around the house.

What are you good at?

I've been told that I'm an excellent project manager. Apparently it's difficult to find someone who will see a project through to completion, dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's. I dunno, I just figure if you've got something to do you can either do it, or spend more time worrying about the fact that it isn't done and you're gonna get your ass chewed out soon. hahaha
