1. Why 3.0?
I'm at a new site, with a new
mission. Plus, the last FAQ was about 5 years
old.
2. Who are you?
I'm Databastard and I write
the occassional erotic story involving mind control and women in
glasses. Previously, I had a website with a bunch of pictures of
actresses pretending to be hypnotised or wearing glasses. The
data will probably be replicated here, sans copyright imagery.
3. What the hell happened to your old site?
Geocities (henceforth referred
to as Geosuckies) deleted my account in March 2006 due to
"Terms of Service" violations. This is why I keep a
copy of the site on my hard drive. The pictures will most likely
not make it back on the web unless I come into a lot of money or
a lot of lawyers. (insert joke here)
4. Why set up this site?
Even though I have no photo
library, I'm still a writer, dammit! Plus, I should be able to
put up some kind of list and maybe some TV updates.
5. No pics and no videos? Why should I visit this site?
Dunno. Come back when you think of a reason.
1. Why is it 2.0?
I noticed a bunch of "update"
sections on the original FAQ and thought it was getting out of
date. But if you're that interested, check below.
2. Who are you?
I'm Databastard. I'm not exactly a major
player on the 'net, even in my specific area of expertise, but
you can find me on a web search now. I started out in early 2000
with a couple of HTML tables, 20 photos (all scans) and a 4 MB
Super Force mpeg. The current site features hundreds of vidcaps,
almost 1000 names and stories I've written over the last year and
a half. There's not really any personal information about myself.
I think what I do speaks for itself and anything else would be
unnecessary, as well as hard to explain to my friends on the
outside.
3. Why set up the site?
I had assembled this database of over 1000
scenes noting actresses and certain types of situations they were
in. I decided to make it available in a web page to augment my
information and provide a "real life" resource. Sites
with pics don't always provide cast info.
4. What's with the pop-up window?
The price I pay for a free site. For $0 I
get 15 meg and ads. But I did pick nice, romantic ads.
Hint: The pop-ups use javascript and
I don't.
5. Why couldn't I get on the site a few hours ago?
You've run up against Geocities' new
bandwidth restrictions for the 'free' websites they host. The
technical details are on this page.
6. Where are the video clips?
Sadly, they may be removed from the site. I
don't have an arrangement that allows me to create new clips on a
regular basis. This and website limitations (see above) make the
video page more trouble than it's worth. The original intent of
the page was to gain information about unknown actresses in the
clips from visitors. In that time, none have been identified.
7. What happened to those pages full of pictures and why does the picture pop up in a new window?
I'm just trying to keep data transfer down.
My dream is that someone who wants to look up an obscure name
plugs it into Google and
comes upon my page. When they do, I want them to click on a link
and get a head shot. There are many other good pages out there
where you can find a page filled with random pictures.
8. If you're having so much trouble, why not move the site?
The other web hosts have similar problems
and Geocities has been mostly reliable. I have 2 options; set up
a page on a better free server or pay for webhosting. I could
also sell some of the content, but that would be a difficult
undertaking as well. For now I'll stick it out as best I can.
0.(added 2001) What happened to the
site last year?
Well, see, the thing is... Mostly burnout. I had lofty goals of sharing information back and forth and being a resource. The page did get a lot of hits, and even a surprising number to areas that I wouldn't have thought of. However, due to an amazing lack of feedback and constant requests for stuff I didn't even have on the lists, I decided to put the whole thing on hold. I learned during the time that I like to do this as much for myself as for my 'fans' out there. The amount of research I did on video compression alone was very informative. So, the site is back up, this time for you all and for me.
1. Who are you?
If I wanted to answer that I'd use my ISP web page. I'm either:
A 32 year old
dentist who gases my attractive female patients to take advantage
of them;
A high school kid who
proves that it's way too easy to get online;
Evil lesbian
hypnotist;
An optometrist who
reeeeaally enjoys his job;
Class president at my
college who has an evil streak;
Your congressman;
Stoned out of my
gourd.

3. Where are the pics?
Working on it. I'm too cheap to come across
with the $200 I need for a decent capture card. I may end up with
a $50 one. It's like a $50 hooker; not much fun, but it gets the
job done. Of course I bought a scanner, but all I use that for is
work.
update: I got the cheap WinTV board.
My computer is down to two crashes a day.

5. Any stories?
Maybe! If any get posted they will be ones
I wrote. Unfortunately, many of my ideas are in the fanfic
category and I find lawsuits uncomfortable.
update: I have stories now! I'm sure
you can pretty much guess the subject matter.
6. What kind of freak are you?
Let's see. I have two major fetishes, want total privacy and fame on the web and I put up pages of stuff nobody reads. I'm like 90% of these other page builders.
