i think "adult webmaster" and "webmaster" (for those in mainstream) is an out-dated term that goes along the same lines as "baud", web 1.0, and 8 sided dice.
It takes many different skill sets to run/operate a website. Granted, all of this can exist in one person (As well as using things like blogs, themes, managed vhosts, etc), if that is the case, then i believe "webmaster" is the right term (though still dated).
probably back in the days around 1994, when the first websites started popping up, the geek who understood html and http ran the website and as businesses started to experiment with this digital realm, it was the one person who ran the show, (i should know, i was that one person for early websites back then).
Today, it takes these skill sets:
- web designer for the graphical interface
- web developer for programming
- sysadmin for technical webserver operations
- traffic/seo/marketing for traffic from SE to affiliate to buy
- financial/accounting
- customer service
- product development
- business development
- etc
i think anyone who calls themselves an "adult webmaster" is essentially a one-man show.
those that have people who work for them that do the different skill sets, i would say is a "Web entrepreneur".
Fight the webmaster is dead, long live the webmaster!
