Researching gathering on porn sites

[killerasp]

i hope this is the right place to post this.

im working on a start up geared at the adult entertainment market, aka porn sites. this project is poised to help new and existing porn sites. since this is a forum of various members (eg: site webmasters and actors/actresses), i figure this would be the best place to get some input.

we all know that the internet porn is a $100 billion world wide market and its always increasing each year. But what i am more interested in is the what, why, when, where of porn sites that typical research does not include.

if we ever make it big, ill know where to return the favors to

So please help me out by answering a survey i created.

thanks very much!!!

I'll need a couple of longgggg puffs on that in order to complete that questionaire. I never did do well on essay questions.

I prefer a nice head heavy eyelid dropping indica like hashbury or the infamous hashburykush
The couchlock indica strains tend to keep me on the computer and out of trouble.

Well fuck, don't know what to think. Can't handle a survey thats more than true or false and I can tell there are people here who know way more about fucking weed than I've ever thought about

When I get into the indica I can look at a computer alright, but I zone out way before any work gets done Typing just requires too much on my end of things. Let alone an essay like this survey wants

[killerasp]

Hey Guys. Glad to be here.


Some people posted in the survey that im asking the wrong question, going in the wrong direction.

If i may kindly ask, why do you think they are wrong? what questions would be more appropriate?

[T Pat]

Dude you need to do your own homework
everyone on this board has a minimum of one web site (some have hundreds) everyone maintains their own sites, the reason why they call the board "the ultimate webmaster resource" is because were all webmasters or wannabe's doing our own thing
plus it's pretty ballsy to ask for everyones email address on your first post

You say you want to start a website "poised to help new and existing porn sites", yet you clearly haven't got the foggiest idea of what running a porn business entails. Exactly what kind of service are you planning to offer?

[killerasp]

you are right. i have no idea what it takes to go around linking stuff, finding different porn stuff to put on my site, i dont where to go. im never said im the "know all" for that now did i?

i am not intersted where you get your content from. that is not what i was asking people for.

what i am more interested is the technical aspect of running porn sites. i am sure many of you host on virtual web accounts or on dedicated servers with the many different hosting companies on the internet. i was trying to gather peoples opinion on their technical issues they face with their sites and or hosting providers.

T Pat - the fact you and everyone here runs one or hundreds of sites is the reason why im here in the first place.

if you have a team of developers that handle coding your site, then say that. no need to criticize me when all im asking for is your help with my research. i didnt ask anyone to build me a site, so why get so pissy?

so if you want to help me out and tell me about your problems with your hosting/web platform, then do so. if not, then go about your daily routine and pretend you never read this thread.

Your survey should ask a series of multiple choice questions. No one is going to take the time to write long answers to general questions. That's where you need to do your homework. Determine what those questions and choices should be in order to get the information you're looking for.

Creative for hosting?

Thanks Toby.

Why is it that you don't have any direct questions about hosting on your little survey, KillerASP? Your questions are far too vague and the fact that you didn't bother informing us of your survey's goal is rather off-putting.

BTW, I wouldn't have completed the survey anyway due to the lack of proper capitalization in your posts. Yes - I am that anal. If you want to taken seriously as a business person, portray yourself as one, yo!

The problem here is also that you are not actually collecting data - you are only gathering slighted opinions. There is 'real' data out there which offers more real world fact than opinion. Off the top of my head there are university studies like ""Eros Unbound: Pornography and the Internet" from Indiana University and others which offer as close to realistic guesses as anyone can offer. But its all mainly one big guess...

And even to a bona fide researcher - a lot of the info about the adult entertainment industry will always remain simply guesswork and extrapolation of tiny details. There is no real 'adult industry' lobby, no credible trade associations, no honest revenue statistics - its a world of somewhat closely guarded techniques and revenues; more often than not, inflated for self-importance or self-protection of trade secrets.

But if your goal was to find out about hosting and technical issues your posting was misleading and off-the-goal. I mean what 'start-up' can "expand" into anything? That's a contradiction in terms... And to ask multiple open-ended questions and expect essay-type answers? Just simply makes no sense at all.

Sorry, but your questions and methodology are just too flawed to offer any credibility.

And to stay in context of the thread, all decent adult webmasters know than quality sativas are infinately better for production staff and fine indicas best reserved for the friends that performers bring with them to shoots.

For those of you who may feel the need to run to Google for an explanation, as I did - here you go. Sativa or Indica. HappySpanker stumped me.

Holly crap. I stumped Useless Warrior? Kinda feel perversely honored. Do I get some sort of newbie achievement badge or something?

No award for that. Marijuana is one of the many topics where I possess little-to-no knowledge, much like gay creampies. If you can stump me on something I'm an expert at, such as the geography of my testicles, then you get the trophy.

Sativa makes my code magical... unfortunately, machines are just too dumb to understand hippy magic. Indica makes the boring shit easier to do.

But ya'll can fight all you want, this hippy knows it's always a 6+ hour body high when ya cook with it, no matter what what kinda shit ya got.

Edit: woops... spaced out... forgot to mention that I suck at essay questions. I always score better with multiple-choice.
