Splitting Pages

We’ve been blessed with links to so many reviews, our old way of displaying the older reviews wasn’t cutting it anymore and the server would choke while trying to show you all 8,558 reviews that start with the letter S… So we’ve changed the review listings, and they’re now paginated. Browse away!

I guess Nationality wasn’t quite it either…

When we debuted the nationality field, we were pretty happy. We some internal debates what to call it, but apparently, it turnsout, we weren’t quite as clear as we thought we were.

In our minds, if I had a page, my nationality would be “American/Italian” even tho I was born here in the US; my great-grandparents were off the boat, so I consider myself part “Italian” — which is what we all figured the “nationality” tag would convey. Also, it’s a standardized field, so it will be searchable in the not-to-distant future. (“Show me all the swedish girls!”)

Judging by the amount of corrections we’ve gotten… not so much.

So, we’ve renamed the field “Nationality/Heritage”

Hopefully this will help eliminate some confusions as to what we mean.

The Great Ethnicity / Nationality Debate

Ever since we rolled out the Ethnicity field, we’ve gotten emails, correctly pointing out that we’re really mixing up nationalities and ethnicities. That “American” is not an ethnicity, but a nationality… So we’re happy to say we’ve broken out the fields and we now have an “Ethnicity” field that actually reflects ethnicities, and a nationality field that reflects the heritage of the performer. We hope you like it.

We’re talking!

One of the things we’ve been wanting to do and finally sat down and did is start a small interview program where we talk nuts and bolts (and anything else) with people in the adult industry — performers, directors, reviewers… basicially, whomever strikes our fancy and has a Skype account. :-) We like to think of it as “Iconoclasts” for the porn set.

Our first foray is with Luc Wylder of Fallen Angel. Luc and I have known each other for years, and he was nice enough to chat for a couple hours (edited down to 60 minutes) about any number of topics — what’s he’s doing, the state of the DVD, blogging, how he’s hoping to maximize value of his back catalog and the digitization of same… I think it’s an interesting conversation, and we look forward to bringing you more in the months to come.
