same time?

Ahh, this is the one I was waiting for... and like some of my other answers will also prolly be on the long side

(sorry folks lol)

The whole "brokest Celeb" is a mix of various things...

The "celeb" thing is not just the radio, take into account my entire history in the adult biz in no particular

order....

Photographer, print work (box covers etc) __________________ (Wait for question #24 lol) Program Owner, Designer,

Radio Host, etc etc etc, I am/was in fact pretty well known (and forgotten) from a board standpoint you have people

like pimpdog, juicy, boyally, headless etc these are adult 'celebs' some later renamed to "bros" I however even after

a 4 page spread in AVN Online, radio shows etc always felt like the "dude who everyone knew but forgot" lol

I've never spent lots of times on boards, cause frankly I've mainly been a 1-man-army most of my time in adult and if

I'm posting all day that means I'm NOT working on my content and sites.

and at the same time I NEED to have a presence in this industry to gain more affiliates, clients or whatever

depending on the time frame / situation.

So... what you end up with is me posting every day for a week or two then vanishing for a month or two (lather rinse

repeat lol)

Now onto the "brokest" I'm honest to a fault, as well as fair, (I'm sure some of the people I've worked with might

think otherwise but it is the utmost truth.) with that said, I've NEVER charged what I should in ANY of my stuff, when

I did webdesign I was cheap... (outsource person cheap lol) when it came to my content also dirt cheap and lets not

even bring up my first 5 months of the affil program I made an error in the ccbill panel and had 100% payouts going to

affils LMAO

Now, I'm NOT saying that the people WITH money are not honest, just in my case, I slit my throat to make people happy,

to maintain a good biz relationship, to assure return clients.

I've made good money in adult, BUT I've also blown it all time and time again, for good or for ill lol (Family sucks

lol)

The funniest thing with my "brokest Celeb" mantel goes right along with question #17 But i'll touch on it here...

I was dubbed "The Godfather Of 3D Toons" by AVN back in 02 or 03, and then had a 4 page writeup in the Oct 2004 issue,

by THAT alone I felt that the money should just start rolling in, but honestly I know now that I was meerly just ahead

of my time, I've been doing this 3D Toon stuff for almost 10 years now, BUT the market didn't really take off till the

end of 2007 WHEN more and more companies started to get in the mix.

I'm one of the co-founders of the 3D niche, I launched the first 100% paysite, the first 100% program, I was the first

site to operate SOLEY on member requests and up till last year I really had nothing to show for it lol

I'm not bitter, by any means, if I had to do it all over again I would not change a thing... well no, I would have

cornered the video market instead of ignoring it for 5 years lol.

Now, The Howard Stern Thing... since the first day I got into the online porn industry I've thought of myself as "The

Howard Stern Of Porn" and that is a little hard to understand if your not very familiar with Howard's life.

After Howard Left Detroit, he pretty much vowed to not hold ANYTHING back, good or bad, let it alllll out there, be

himself, not put on a show, that's the same atitude I took (much to the dismay of alot of my past partners consultants

and or advisor's lol) but that's the only way I figured it would work.

I did not need to sit and brag about my stuff, my cash (when I did have it) places I go who I fuck etc etc, Sure I

used my share of "spin" but everyone in biz does in some way shape or form.

So that's what I did with my online biz, I never held back, I spoke my mind, I did not try to be a "board char" I was

just me, a wacky, odd, shut-in who lives in the woods of Northern Michigan, a jack of all trades and a master of VERY

FEW lol.

When I did my radio show it was the same way, (minus my WolfMan Jack Voice :1orglaugh) I talked about my drug use, my horrid marriage, my models, my ups and my

downs, I held nothing back, and in that case I was like Howard Stern (Without his millions) lol

I might come back and add more to this later IF you need more explanation but for now this is enough I think lol

And without any ado.....



Yes indeed, actually one of my first jobs (I slept my way into actually lol) I had just turned 16 (I think lol) and my girlfriend at the time, her brother worked at the music dir / overnight jock at a Detroit radio station (99.5 The Fox) (it's a cunt-tree station now lol) I used to hang out at the station with him here and there, and I did voices for the overnight show, that led to being picked up with the morning show for a few months again doing voice work and whatnot.

At that time I was making $32.00 an hour so needless to say being 16 and working 2am - 11am School was not an option so I quit going lol, asked the guidance counselor

"What's A Good Job"

Well, err, um..... you see.... A good job is a job, you work, and well, it will help you maintain a comfortable lifestyle of living. (WORD FOR WORD FOLKS LOL)

"Well is $32.00 an hour a good job?"

WHAT? That's more then I make!

"Then I quit!"

From 99.5 The fox I ended up in Lansing at WVIC again just doing voice work, and from there right about the age of 17 I landed (not by my own choice mind you) in the middle of no-where northern Michigan and I landed a weekend job at 106.7 The Peak... for a massive paycut lol.

Do those have anything to do with the 103.9 Fox in Flint?

I doubt it, By the time I left 99.5 The Fox they had gone country and fired all of us, last I knew (they could have changed in the last 13 years lol) they were "Young Country" 99.5 WYDC, when they were The Fox they went under WDFX.

WVIC had a very short reach, and I don't think they had any other frequencies.

As for 106.7 I can say without question it had nothing to do with any station in Flint.

In fact when I got hired there they were not even a 24 hour station :1orglaugh I talked the owner into staying on (as long as I did the shift for free) and IF and ONLY IF I produced ratings in the next arbitron books, that he then paid me to do the overnights full time.

He agreed, I not only got ratings, but I got the highest ratings in our market, the station went to a 24 hour format and I was fired :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I laugh cause NOW and pretty much ever since they fired me back then they honestly NEVER beat any other station to this day

11. Have you ever been fucked over by a host?

Oh yeah! and I should start with a shout-out to Chaz and say.... "I never should have left you guys lol"

I hooked up with two hosts the first was not really a fuck-over unless you count that fact that they sold off their company and my "Barter deal" was not honored by them.

The second is by far ONE of the WORST experiences I've ever dealt with in my adult industry carrier!

There was a little known host years back (Lela Hosting) who had a good name for itself, they use to host another adult board, lets say it was a "wet" board, now if a BOARD says a host is ok, then it MUST BE! WRONG!!! (Hindsight is 20/20 lol)

Anyway, I worked out a killer deal with the owner of the company where I would do graphic work, promotions, and work with his other ventures in exchange for free hosting... and not only that but dedicated servers

So anyway, I'm hosting with them for prolly a few years, and things are running semi smoothly, nothing out of the ordinary happens, I do work, I get free servers, I need something done to the boxes and I can't get a hold of my techs it gets done by the hosting company for me, he needs more work above and beyond what we agreed upon he pays me....

well THAT was the plan

What he did instead was come up with excuse after excuse of how he was unable to send the money for whatever reason, a few times he'd send it trough paypal (VERY FEW Times) and when it would happen that way he'd send like only $20.00 with the promise that more would go through later.

THEN... he offered to pay some bills for me instead of just sending me the money, I thought cool save me some time doing it, so HE called up this place and that and paid MY BILL with HIS credit card.

I come to find out later he claimed the charges on his card were fraudulent and he got full refunds and I damn near got sent to jail for credit card fraud! The ONLY thing that saved me were the "amounts" it was low enough that the two companies he paid on multiple occasions KNEW it was not fraud (and they knew me) they wrote it off as a loss.

(it gets even better!)

I take off for a weekend to work security for a music festival, Tim (owner of the 'company') knows this, I'm not "supposed" to have internet access that weekend BUT I managed to get some, While I was away, he moved us from our dedicated servers BACK to a shared server, BUT he fucked up when he entered in our login info and accidentally gave us full root access, sooooo we were able to see exactly how many other sites were on our "dedicated servers"

When confronted with both screenshots and proof of who did the move (lol server admin logs) and when it happened Tim played the "tech fuck-up" card and assured us we would be moved back, we were (but not really)

(Still gets better)

All the sudden Lela starts going down more and more, (even our "dedi boxes") and their starting to get blasted on the boards, Tim assures me everything is fine and in fact they JUST bought out another hosting company and are setting up

100 new servers and "Everyone including you is getting free upgrades due to the downtime"

The "sheep" are calmed, and everything goes back to normal, then Tim does a huge 'sale' on the boards offers an insane deal for new clients, collects over 200 new clients (found out through grapevine) and gets 3-6 months of hosting money

per client, a few days later EVERYTHING GOES DOWN......

Long story short

It turns out that Tim / LelaHosting was NOT this nice big hosting company, but in fact nothing but a reseller, they stopped paying their bills to their upline and took all the clients money (and data in some cases) and then vanished off the web, the upline yanked the boxes down BUT was "so kind" to offer the Lela clients....

"A 12 hour window to retrieve their data, we can not tell you when this 12 hours will start so please keep trying to access your cpanels or FTP servers"

In the end, I lost EVERYTHING but my actual content, I lost all my custom backend scripts, everything, and I did not have "backups" cause well I was PAYING them to back my shit up and they never did, and the backups that were on my

office computers got fried by lighting WHILE I WAS BURNING THEM TO DISCS :(

so yeah, a bunch of us tried like hell to hunt down his real info, since it turned out not only did he use fake info for EVERYTHING, he also had did this a few years back under a diff company name, so far he's safe in hiding.... so far

Seriously, I post for a number of reasons, I've gotten a lot of clients from GFY, a few very good friends from GFY a job here and there, and a shitload of laughs lol,

although I don't call just one board my home, I do think of GFY as that crazy relitives house that sometimes you DO NOT want to go visit, but you know you just have to lol

Wow... put a Devil on the spot lol,

I've had many people come and go over the years, and some that we've just lost touch, but through it all theres only a small few that I talk to on a daily basis,

so, hands down I guess I'd have to say that my best friend in the biz would be FlyingWulf AKA Joe, we were introduced by "Karla" (then she promptly vanished lol) and him and I INSTANTLY CLICKED, we became like brothers, only problem was He lived in Wisconnsin and I lived in Michigan and neither of us traveled much.

So thanks to instant messager and free nights and weekends we talked, and talked, and talked, and talked and talked for a few years, He became my right hand man for V1rtualdesires, and he put in most of his time for a lot less then he was worth more times then not.

Now he lives about 8 blocks from me and is married to a friend of mine he's not online much these days but he is still part of the industry.

As for GFY, that's an even tougher one, a lot of my click do not post on boards, mainly cause we just don't have the time to, I for one HAVE to make the time IF I want to make any money lol, so as for a GFY "best friend" I'm gonna have to be half assed and say that........

I love you all ;)

Loki, its about fucking time man, you should have been interviewed in the 1st round of interviews.. You're one of the hardest working virtual content producers out there man.. Your stuff has come so far.. If I had a need for it personally I'd have always bought from you..

Keep on truckin brother, you're a true OG in this industry like a lot of others.. Amazing how time flys! and the some of us that were here waaaaay back then are still around to this day..

Great reads so far!

(Steps Up Onto Cyber Soapbox)

AHEM... is this thing on????

I feel pretty much the same as I always have about the state of our online industry, I personally feel that since the beginning too many people have NOT treated this as a REAL BUSINESS, and that is the MAIN reason we are where we are at today....

In the VERY beginning, we drew WAY TOO MUCH unnecessary heat to us thanks to the boards and people posting ... no BRAGGING about the HUGE amounts of money they were making IN DAYS, pictures of cars, houses, wine, jewelry, stacks of cash etc etc etc it made the feds, and the IRS, and all the powers that be stand up and take a BIG notice at us....

one by one crackdowns started to happen,

We kept going,

rob the surfers blind, triple bill them hide the cancel button, circle jerk them until they paid you, then pray to god they were to scared or embarrassed to cancel or fight their bills....

Visa, American Express, Paypal etc etc stepped up and spanked us back

We kept going,

some of our sponsors used "shady" tactics to gain new members without the help of affils, affils had no idea about this and instead cried "The Password Sites Are Killing Our Ratios"

We FLOODED the internet with "Free Samples" and then BITCHED that the TGP's runied our ratios and yet we KEPT feeding the TGP's more and more 'free samples'

We promise the surfer the world and once they pay we give them the same shit as 100 other sites but packaged a tad bit diff

We robbed, we cheated, we lied, and we HID and then bitched when the big bad 2257 monster came to town "FORCING" Us to reveal our "biz locations"

We kept going

we installed viruses and malware on our sites to make the extra buck, we became MORE and MORE shady never gave a fuck,

we filled up inboxes with massive amounts of spam, while all the while trying to fuck uncle Sam

We kept going

We then decided it wasn't enough to fuck JUST the surfers so we turned our sites onto each other and fucked some more,

we used scare tactics and fear to make a quick buck, If your not a FSC member then you'll surely be fucked

when the big bad DOJ comes knocking on your door, If your not on the sealed list you better hit the floor

The sponsors are shaving, affils misbehaving, and all the while were simply digging our own graves

We'll scam the work, we'll fuck over a transfer, we've become the same scammers we've bitched about for over 10 years now!

why oh why does everyone think were so bad?

what do we ever do?

(I just realized some of that rhymed lol)

Today it's the same if not worse, the only thing that has really changed is the METHODS, TGPS begot Tubesites, Password sites begot Rapidshare sites and tipple blind billing begot cross-sales

If we continue down this road we will devour ourselves, in the end someone will just cut us off from the rest of the interent and we will only be left with each other.

Now, sadly my solution will NEVER come, at least not in my lifetime, the web is the perfect place for scammers and thieves to hide and breed, and as a collective I do not EVER see the online porn industry coming together to fix

itself, There are WAY too many ego's involved!

Take a look at the "mainstream" porn industry, you don't see THEM berated AS MUCH as we do, you don't see the feds lining up and cracking down on them AS MUCH as they do to us, you don't see Visa refusing to process them cause they use the word TEEN in a title... BUT us... remember back in what, 2003 Visa wanted US to change "Teen" to "Co-Ed"

I can literally go on and on about this (and if you remember my radio shows you KNOW I'm not exaggerating that lol)

BUT, I will try and wrap this all up nice and neatly....

WILL we still be here in five years from now, well that all depends on how you define "We" I do believe that unless "they" figure out a way to close Pandora's box and keep porn away from the hungry masses,

SOME of us will still be here, and I hate to sound like a broken record, but you remember that adage that is thrown around here in damn near every biz related thread? "Adapt or die!" it's not just a canned response, it holds a shit-ton of merit!

Porn will ALWAYS be around, has been since the dawn of time, humans are animalistic by nature (some more then others) and our desires will always push us, Long Live Porn lol

well there's no time like the present to get into 3D Toons :pimp

But seriously, Thanks for the kind words, and your right I am a hard working SOB, somewhere back in 2004 I think my office chair became a permanent appendage to my ass lol, I seem to spend more time in my studio then any other part of my house lol

As for time.... I try not to even think of that anymore, I've been in the adult industry (offline and online) now for over 15 years, It's been like a fucking roller coaster for sure lol BUT I can honestly say I would change these years for anything lol

till one night I came home, took the dog out, brought it back in, and she pissed all over my couch, I grabbed the dog and drug her off the couch and I noticed something was hanging from behind her.... A PUPPY lmao

that night she had 6 puppies, and my tiny ass studio apt became a friggan dog pound

Once the puppies were old enough, I gave them all away to various people, and the momma dog had to go too, she was NEVER the same after having the pups, (she got tagged her first heat) so I had to take her to a no-kill shelter.

As much as I loved dogs, I was never as happy as when my apt finally became dog free, and I vowed that night NO MORE DOGS FOR ME!

Fast forward to a year ago, when the babysitter moved in she brought with her Wikket one of the puppies my dog had,

so... yeah we have a dog lol

The babysitter is like Dr.Dolittle, we have god knows how many koi fish and guppies, a hermit crab tank and for awhile

we had sea-monkeys (remember those lol)

First I want to correct a few things ;) I was dubbed "The Godfather Of 3D Toons" and I did not sell of my content due to being broke per say, I sold off the "company" after the hosting debacle...

After the dust settled from the Lela Hosting fiasco I was faced with a hard choice

I either had to REBUILD from scratch EVERYTHING, and HOPE I could retain most of my affiliates, and be able to compete with bigger programs with army's of affils, and shitload more money then me for overhead.

OR

Find a like minded company, give them the keys to my kingdom and retire from porn (which I had been in for almost 15 years by then) and go get a day job

the choice was a hard one, with no sites, no program my money went bye-bye, I really damn near did loose everything,

I recall sitting on the floor of my apartment while the repo people were taking my TV, my furniture, my lights were going off, my heat was off, everything was crumbling around me.

I had went to a buddies house to check my emails (I had gotten some cheap ass shared hosting from Hostgator lol) and I had this email from a dude in germany

"I hear you make 3D Toons, would you happen to have anything to sell?" was the email

I shit you not, in ALL those years I never even thought about selling content to other companies.... correction, I DID try that years back, but it NEVER went live, and I did make some content for a company here and there, but never on the scale that I ended up doing.

I had always thought, who the fuck is gonna buy content from me when they can just learn to make it themselves LMAO (Hindsight, hindsight, hindsight)

So I went through my backups, and I gathered up all the content I had made to date, it was about 400+ sets and I emailed the guy back with samples and whatnot, and I gave him the price, he bought it, and I said hmmm, I wonder....

I made promos for the 406 set package and I came here, and a few other boards.

Within 4 days I not only made enough money to get all my shit back, and get everything turned back on, but I was also able to move out of the closet I was 'living in' get joint custody of my daughter (cause I finally had room for her in the new house) but I also found someone to "take over" my company and old paysites, (BirdBucks.com) AND secured myself a full time gig for the next year.

By the time my gig was up with Birdbucks I was certain that what I needed to focus on from then on out was making and selling content for the other companies,

THAT'S where my strong point was, I could design a great paysite, I could make great content BUT I could not compete with the big companies who fly ads on all the boards, have thousands of affils and millions of hits of traffic

I honestly think that turning over my company and going the content provider route was the best choice I ever made in this biz, BUT I also know that If I didn't do all the things I did prior it might not have worked out this way.

I spent YEARS screaming at the top of my lungs that 3D Toons were not only a viable market, but a profitable market as well, if any of you remember 2000 - 2005 you may recall that during that time frame you only saw / found 3D porn by clicking on Cartoons / Anime it was a sub-niche and it never had to be,

I spent many many hours begging tgp owners and link list people to make a separate category for 3D Toons, same with the review sites.

I held "online classes" about keywords, and ad text for the niche, I did radio show after radio show about the subject of 3D Toons, I even was very active on an old board that was JUST for Cartoon webmasters (Even THEY didn't get the 3D Toon market!) I toiled and toiled and eventually people listened, cause what started out as VERY FEW paysites and 1 or 2 companies is now today literally much much more!

did they "beat me at my own game" ? I don't think of it that way, do some of them get the credit that I should have gotten? yes definitely lol, but again I'm not biter, I think everything is running where it should right now, in the end I was really just 6 years ahead of my time lol.

As for being broke... Fuck I'm STILL broke lol,

Past Family issues blew through all of my savings, and every time I get a nest egg built back up something else happens, and ALL I do these days is make and sell content, that's my sole income, I don't do side-jobs anymore Like I used to, when it works it works but when it don't it don't

What I really need is for some company to snatch me up and put me on their payroll lol I work sooooo much better when I DON'T have to do EVERYTHING myself lol

Thanks man, and we are also in the same club lol (Stalked by.... :1orglaugh)

That really is the secret to my work though, I take a lot of pride in my art, and all sets have to pass the "Loki-Dick-Twitch" test (ok so not EVER SET lol, the trannies ugggggg)

But as long as I know their close to perfect I know both the sponsors and the surfers will feel the same!

Well that is kind of a tricky one, I'm sure everyone has their OWN ideas and definitions on what "politics" mean, But i will my best to explain as only I can lol.

When I first got into the ONLINE Adult industry I looked around and what I saw reminded me a lot like junior high, and sometimes, high school.

In the beginning when there was pretty much only "Condom Project" and Ynot's board I did not post on boards, I really did not see the point, I remember WAY more 'dick waving' and 'hero worship' then any real constructive threads about HOW to build your business, Now, I'm SURE they WERE out there, But I did not have the time to wade through the much to find them lol

Little by little more and more boards popped up and by 2005 2006 it seemed like EVERYONE had a board lol.

What I figured out very quickly was (and I'm sorry if YOU read this statement and say DUH!!!! BUT, in the beginning sponsors DID try to hide this A BIT) the boards really only cared about you IF and ONLY IF you

(A) Promoted Their Program
(B) Promoted Their Paying Advertisers
(C) Were some "Big Shot"
etc etc,

that was mighty politicy, now I didn't expect to show up to a land of hugs and kisses, BUT I DID expect to find SOME SORT of instruction, training or at the very least some general sense of comradery, and I did not find that.

Do you know WHY your not allowed to post links to other boards, or in some cases EVEN MENTION another board?

(Again no saying DUH! lol)

Because EVERYONE is too afraid of loosing ANY of their posters to another board (Like ANYONE really ONLY uses ONE BOARD LMAO) Again that too is politicy

Judging one NOT on their merrit or text BUT by their post count is not only stupid as fuck but also politicy

Flaming and bashing on 'noobs' is politicy AND down right retarded, who's to say that ANY of those noobs won't create "the next big thing" (granted it's highly doubtful now a days lol)

When a sponsor is caught down-right ass-fucking their affils and the threads are deleated and or posters banned THAT is politicy, by business standards THOSE are the threads that should be stickied (IF and only IF they can prove it) so that others don't get fucked as well.

another example is the fact that I do NOT go to shows, and I prolly never will, with what I do I just don't see the plus side of criss-crossing the country spending an arm and a leg each of my packages take me just about a month to make, and I only offer a limited number of licenses for them, does that make me any less a part of this industry? NO,

However there are those in this business who feel IF you don't go to shows then your not really a part of all this lol

I also consider the WAY we conduct our business is also politicy, but in a more broader sense, were in the business of selling sex, in every way shape or form we can, and by general consensuses by a common majority of people Sex is BAD, dirty, evil, a sin, immoral etc etc etc (unless it's for procreation with the lights off lol) now with that type of stigma comes a back alley mentality, and we took to that like a fish to water, and that also is a form of politics, If we are looked at as dirty scummy evil bastards, then why not just act that way.

Why not just lie cheat and steal to get what we want, and then when shit goes bad, blame someone else... politcs!

I ask you all who LIKES the politics of our business? honestly, there is nothing to like about it EVEN if your among the elite upper echelon of this business who are "filthy stinking rich" lol

I feel we could be much more productive (And even more profitable) if we loosened up a bit on our politics and the ways we conduct our business,

I think a lot of things need to be revamped AND adopted on an industry standard, This is another subject I could go on and on about, but I will stop here before I bore you to tears lol.

LMAO You see what I did back there?

Seriously I can not honestly count how many projects actually have fully seen the light of day, it's NOT that I get side-tracked, it's not that I do not have the ambition, in fact it's quite the opposite (ask anyone who really knows me lol) MY biggest problem is being the army-of-one kind of guy, as well as having to pretty much live check to check to get by, so I get this killer idea I start it, almost get it ready to launch OR I DO get it launched and then.....

um.... I gotta pay all the bills.... I gotta get the kid new school clothes...... family crisis there goes all the savings.

And I'm sure I'm not alone here, I'm almost willing to bet there are MORE people here alone, that fit the above paragraph, but unlike a lot of you (no offense lol) I don't care if I admit this or not lol.

When it comes to MY OWN projects I flack... or is it flake lol, IF the project is an actual J.O.B. that's always been a diff story.

I'll give you a few examples of what's sitting on my back-burner (and IF you steal them, throw me a bone for the idea lol)

"All Adult Portals"

Years ago I hooked up with a few people and pitched them my idea about making "free sites" diff, and to also revamp the entire tired ass methods of promoting sponsors, the idea was to combine tgp, free site and link lists into one site... one site per niche.... all linking back to the main portal... the portal would take user submissions to feed the fire, and everyone could have links to their sponsors

Was a GREAT IDEA, but I never was able to get anyone on board (it all relied on USER SUB CONTENT lol)


"Loki-Radio" Pretty self explanatory,


"The Stroke Show" This one was a blow to me! I had come up with a weekly TV Show that would be CGI / Live Action Think Conan O'Brian meets Space Ghost cost to cost.

The show was hosting by a CGI talking cat named "Stroke The Pussy" and each show he would interview a porn star (Via a video screen like on Space Ghost)

Each episode would also have "commercial spots" for pornsites or whatever

HBO had expressed interest in seeing a completed episode.

The problems, were First I could not find ANYONE to get on board on the project... (One thing that has ALWAYS bugged the fuck out of me, non of you guys seem to want to be "the first" to do something lol)

Secondly Actually animating and rendering the show was next to impossible for me to do alone, it took me 3 months JUST to render out the "Sample Video" and when I finally posted it on the boards, no one seemed to care, so reluctantly I shelved the Idea

"WickedPuppets" This was the second reincarnation of "The Stroke Show" I revamp the show so instead of it being CGI/Real it would be Puppets / Real people, HBO STILL showed an interest in the project, but I ran into even more of the same issues as with "The Stroke Show" I shelved that project as well

"Resource Boards" THIS one just plain PISSED ME OFF lol, I started a site that would encompass ALL the webmaster boards, (Think hahahahahahahahahahahaha on steroids!) ALL I NEEDED was an RSS link from EVERY BOARD to make the custom scripts I had made work right, BUT could I get the board owners to get me the RSS links LMAO NO! Sadly I Turned Resource Boards over to someone else and walked away.

"Loki Ca$h" I had decided to 'quit' the 3D Toon niche and head back to where I first began in the mid 90's shooting real people, I scouted out a handful of models, did marathon shoots, spent close to 20k on locations, clothing, props etc etc and got 3 sites ready to roll out, (I almost even became content again lol) RIGHT before the public launch 2 of the models flaked on me and quit, 1 demanded their content be pulled down "or else" 1 vanished, and the last one I was dating and she just got lazy and would not shoot anymore.....

Because I was TRYING to make each site VERY interactive the ONLY way it would have worked out is if I myself handled all the interactions with the members, OR I hired out people (and spent more money I did not have) to do it for me,

you can guess what I ended up doing lol, CLOSED IT!

There were more things I'm sure but those were my biggest "hopes and fails" at some point down the road I may resurrect some of those IF I find the capital to make it happen.

Now as for Wins Vs Looses, that's a tough call, cause pretty much everything I've actually gotten to release has had SOME sort of success, and the stuff that did not go live, or saw completion of course did not make any money lol.

20. Why did you tell me to ask about "puppets"?

lol, well as I touched on in the last answer, I had started a project that I called "Wicked Puppets" where I was pretty much going to ditch the 3D Market and do "adult" style puppet shows (not porn mind you but stuff FOR adults only)

EVERYONE that knew about this project was CONVINCED that I had lost my fucking mind, some thought it was because I had been living out in the woods too long, others just thought I went completely mental, as I joking said.... it's just ike porn It's the one line of work were Fisting is not only encouraged IT'S MANDATORY LMAO!

At any rate, I set out for about a year or so developing an entire show, wrote 12 30 min episodes, hooked up with a company to create the cast puppets for me, (FAIL) hired another company to do the same (FAIL) found yet another company to do the same (WIN.....sort of)

The final company that took care of my puppets pretty much ONLY made "monsters" and or GIANT theater puppets (were talking 5-8 feet tall puppets lol) so although those puppets completely ROCKED, they would NOT work for what I had in mind.

Meanwhile while I'm waiting on the various companies to make and ship the actual cast puppets for the show, I bought about 10 puppets to make filler content (as I already had 6 diff sites for these shows that was getting about 3-6k worth of uniques a day.

I created "The George Show" which was a daily video blog of Ex-Prez George Dubbaya, I portrayed him as a retarded 12 year old, obsessed with Stek-ums and Brittney Spears LMAO, I sent the treatments to Comedy Central, along with some sample episodes, they promptly wrote back and said "Thanks but no thanks, bush bashing is old news, were not interested"

NOT 4 MONTHS LATER.... I see a commercial spot on Comedy Central for "Lil Bush" which was a DIRECT COPY of what I sent them, but once I confronted them on it, they said... tough shit PROVE IT! (I never protected that content cause it was only made as a quick filler for the viewers of the sites)

After the Lil Bush debacle I was kind of getting burnt out on the whole puppet idea, it had now been OVER a year and I still did not have ANY of the cast puppets I needed for the main shows, so I went back to what I knew lol 3D Toons.

Most of the puppet sites I've let go of, but I still have the main ones, and I still have videos floating around the web of my "shorts" below are some photos of me and the puppets I did end up getting, and a few videos and or links

Lol, well I NEVER actually planed on it, BUT I was litteraly teased for damn near a year that... "I bet you've made yourself a toon so you could fuck those models of yours" so as a goof ONLY I DID infact convert myself into a toon,

granted I fixed my nose and removed my "gut" lol, but here you go, a few older shots of the CGI version of me:

The last photo was actually a revamp cause I had a BAD PC crash and I lost my CGI version lol, so I had to recreate

myself from scratch, and at that time I was clean shaven so the above model reflected that.

Right before my contract was up with BirdBucks.com I was working on a new paysite concept, It's now on the back burner

but.... check out yet some more 3D versions of myself at:

Well lemme put it this way... up till about 3 years ago (or less) I DID, now I live "In Town" but it's a small town, and my house is surrounded by woods and trees lol,

Before I moved to town I did in fact live out in the middle of the woods on a lake, the lake was 2 miles X 2 miles and was "private" and the BULK of the houses on the lake were "vacation homes" so mon - thurs the place was pretty much empty.

On the weekends (depending on the time of year) there would be light to moderate traffic around the lake, but all in all there were only about 10 houses with year round residents.

I could NOT stand the winters out there though, SINCE it was mainly "vacation homes" AND it was a "private lake" the roads did NOT get taken care of in the winter....

Try to imagine 3-5 feet of snow all around you, and roads with 9 inches of sheer ice, needless to say, during the winter months If I did not come and crash with friends in town I was STUCK in the woods for weeks at a time lol (Maybe that explains it all lol)

Well for starters as I mentioned some questions back.... Flyingwulf (Coder and author of The CCBUDDY) Lives just about 7-8 blocks away from me, he moved here from Wisconsin a few years back

Liqqwid (webmaster) was born and raised in this town (pretty sure) and I got him into this biz (sorry folks lol) Last I knew he's here in town again

The Heron (Owner of BirdBucks) lives about 30-45 mins away from me

I'm sure there are alot more hiding around here, but I don't drive and I don't travel very much (got a bad eye and the state won't let me get a license lol)

LMAO, YES Before I got into the online porn industry I worked in the Offline industry, I started out doing VHS box designs, photography and then videography (thats a word right??)

I was on set one day and the male talent did not show up (was not very uncommon really lol) the crew was pissed, they were ready to call it a day, when one of the girls on set pointed over to me and said.....

"Hey, Jay has a decent cock, and he fucks great too" (awwww thanks lol) The director looked at me and said "Well... Lets see it" I dropped trow got myself hard and viola I was taken off the camera and put on the other side

I did about 5 scenes for them (All POV FOLKS lol) and I have no fucking clue which videos they ended up on, or what company they were being shot for lol, but I'm sure they are out there somewhere.

when I was shooting it was at a local pornshop in Detroit, they used to shoot various series for some companies, I know they did shit for places like Vivid, Anabolic and such in the past but my mind is pretty fucking cloudy on most of that timeframe (it was the drugs lol)

Fast forward to about 2007 I think, and I almost became content again, my ex-gf / content girl "Starlight" was gearing up for the release of her solo site, and I decided to break her into to camming by holding a webmaster cam night (I

think it might have even been during one of my radio shows?) at any rate I unleashed the webmasters on her, and later on I got in on the action, (FORGETTING IT WAS A LIVE CAM FEED LOL) Screenshots were taken, I think a video or two was also capped (I have the master video myself lol) and the end of the night was a fansign shoot, where Ayla requested a fansign from ME....

So I got into the shower with a towel wrapped around me and help up the sign "Ayla Makes Me Wet" those photos are floating around here somewhere too lol.

IF any of you HAVE any of the shots from that night find them, and post them here lol (I can't find them :( :) )

As for would I do it again, I guess that really all depends on the babysitter lol, "Never Say Never" has been my motto lol

Well my past drug use really fucked up my body, I lost damn near all of my teeth (rotted form the inside out) and what I have left in my mouth is an ugly fucking mess (and I'm highly self-conscious about it)

Due to the issues in my mouth I end up with infections every few months (abscess mainly) and I end up in the Hospital and then on meds for the next 10 days.

I also have high blood pressure, irregular heart rate (I get palpitations once in a GREAT WHILE) and because of my mouth again, most of my immune system is used to fight off infections in my mouth so, I'm susceptible to any type of cold or flu :(

(All the great shit they DON'T tell you about drug use lol)

On top of all that, I also have a wicked astigmatism in my left eye, it ONLY effects me when I'm in motion, it causes things to dart in and out of my line of sight, and due to that the state will NOT allow me to have a license (go figure lol) THAT is one of the reasons I am not much of a traveler, but I do have my own driver so it's all good lol.

Ummm lets see what else, I have back issues from a roofing job (I fell off a 12 X 12 roof when I was 14) and I got hit by a van on my bike when I was 16, I spend a lot of time sitting or laying down due to the back issues.

and I have the webmaster virus "carpal tunnel" lol
