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.

Follow this link to our interview page. (You can also find it via our "Services" menu.)

We're back! It's been a quiet three months on the site development front, so we haven't had much to blog about. We've been adding titles, making corrections and generally updating things daily...

In the coupla months since we last updated the movie count on the homepage, we added 3,777 new titles, bringing us to 86,828 titles. We've added over 2600 performers and links to over 3400 reviews. We've also been steadily adding links to photo and video galleries to the site and we currently have links to over 12,000 galleries online with some of the hottest sites around -- Naughty America, Hustler, Bang Bros, etc.

Our staff is working hard and we thank you for your submissions and corrections. It's because of our users (that's you!) that we're as good as we are.

See you at AEE We'll be there walking the show floor... If you see us, say hi. :-)

To keep life pleasant when we get back, we shut down the corrections forms until Sunday so we don't come home to a backlog we can never dig ourselves out of. :-) Have a good week.

Back to business... Just a word of thanks to everyone for your kind words of support, helpful emails, troubleshooting messages and whatnot.

The site seems to be close to its old self again. We re-arranged some tables, did some massive tweaking, let some analyzers run roughshod over our trace tables, and we seem to be back and without the timeout issues we were seeing earlier this week.

Re-commence your porn searching; and thanks again for your patience.

Jeff, BigBobXXX, Bill, Bontix, Don, Eric, Jamie, Luke, Morbid, and Walter

Performance is still spotty... We're still working on the server. It seems to have good days and bad days, and recently it's been more bad than good. If you experience slowdowns, please let us know what you were doing (searching, clicking around, etc.) and if you were searching, what were you searching for? We appreciate your patience and continued support. (Oh, and happy new year!)

Glitches Getting Ironed Out The Title/Perf/Review search was flaky today if you did a search of more than one word. I think its been tamed. As always, thanks for your patience as we work through these issues.

Shaking My Head The fulltext indexing is kicking my ass. It's 1:30 AM, and it's working now... but I don't have a ton of faith in it staying that way. Let's cross our fingers. :-) (and if you have any experience with full-text indexes in SQL Server 2005 and have any pointers, drop me a line.) Thanks for your patience while we recover from this...

10 Dec 07

Not Out Of The Woods Yet Apparently, things aren't as rosy as once thought. We killed the banners again (temporarily) and will be working to get performance back to where it should be. Now that we're running on SQL 2005, we have some more options available to us that we're looking forward to exploring and implementing. Thanks for your support and patience. :-)

Back to Business The database server was running on a backup machine since around 8:00 last night, and it's back on its original hardware, but with a new OS and SQL Server version under it (from Win2K/SQL2K to Win2K3/SQ2K5) so hopefully things will be perfrorming a bit better. If you come across any issues, please drop me a line at iafd@iafd.com. Thanks for the notes of support (which are finally coming thru, since our inbound mail was also affected...)

Bloodied but Unbowed Got the server running on a slow backup, but it's working nonetheless. It's Sloooooooooow, but it'll be better on Sunday. Thanks for your patience.

I guess I have to think of it as Thursday... ... because I'd hate to think I spend a few minutes on Thanksgiving sorting out the difference between PEE and GOLDEN SHOWER on our advanced search page. (When you searched on "Golden Showers" you actually got peeing scenes. Now you have your choice.) So, once again, Happy Thanksgiving (or Thursday) everyone... and treat your turkey better than Jerry Butler treated his in ">Raw Talent ;-)

Correction to the Corrections We had a little admin-induced database glitch earlier which resulted in us losing 18 corrections. If you sent in a correction between 2 AM and 6 PM Eastern and you haven't gotten a "it's done" email (assuming you asked for one), you're probably one of the 18. Our apologies... And happy Thanksgiving Eve to our American buddies... to the rest of you; happy Wednesday. :-)

Names With Faces, Part Two Got an email recently: "I’m trying to identify women in old videos I’m planning to stream to my Xbox 360 and if I could look at all the available pictures of women who worked with guys I can name the process might go better. Reading the page generated by "Check scene parings" only goes so well with names but no faces."

Excellent point... so we've changed the page and added headshots to the scene pairings... and since non-resizable pop-ups are so 2001, the listing now opens in its own window.

Search the Ink We've been asked for a way to search for tattoo info, and we're happy to say we've added a new feature to our Advanced Search page -- Tattoo Search. Type in a short bit about the tattoo ("clover") or the location ("foot") and you'll get a list of performers who fit the bill. It's simple and not that smart in terms of searching (don't go using any of those fancy boolean operators) but it should get the job done. Enjoy.
