5. Have you ever slept with (ie fucked) any women in this industry? Would you?

No, i never have.. ive really only felt close enough to one girl to even consider it....

6. Where do you currently Live?

i live in the Fraser Vally of British Columbia.
we have a nice home in the mountains, between Mission City and Harrison Hot Springs.. i live near the bigfoot/sasquatch area...

7. Why do you hate Ottawa?

i got assigned/transferred there for a while in the 1980's.
way too cold, very few good places to eat, no night life..
it was a ghost town on the weekend too, as all the government guys traveled back home..
its come a long way since then though....
i have to say that Hull and Gatineau, Quebec were always great places to visit and of course Montreal should be on everyones top list...

Another good read, keep it up!

Indeed it is :thumbsup

Fitty for Shemp :thumbsup :thumbsup

8. What happened to Nina? Elli?

Nina and Ric have left the adult business. They have a mainstream business in NYC and they are getting married this summer. I talk with Nina fairly often and she is so happy now.. Her sites are still online, but on autopilot..

Elli got a great job with Legendary Lars and also split with her guy of 10 years. She has a new guy now and they get along great. Elli needed a change and she changed everything at once ;) She is a great friend.

nice reading
this series shows the ppl behind the industry :thumbsup

woohoo!

boy oh boy i hope you can make it to Phoenix, you got a big bear hug coming from me.

mad love for a human i truly admire, and if you know me that's really saying something.

subliminal voodoo vibes.....

steak and beer....steak and beer......steak and beer....... :winkwink:

9. Why do you come to GFY? Why do people seem to respect you on GFY?

i think my board persona is just to be myself. i think before i post, i try to be respectful of others...im here for the long haul...ive been involved with drama very rarely... reputations are hard to build and easy to destroy...

GFY is an entertaining board though, always very lively and we do a good amount of business here...

keep it up my friend !
best guy/person around ......... The Shemp and heh ......... when things are getting really tough ........ I will send you another postcard with horrible dutch tulips, windmills and such LOL.

This is a great read, I have nothing but good things to say about Shemp!

You rock man! *hugs*

10. When did you start in this biz. Why? Discuss

In 1997, i decided to find work closer to home. i was living near Vancouver, but working out of Long Island, New York. The commuting was killing me.
I had a fulltime job offer to work out of Amsterdam, but my wife and kids absolutely didnt want to move there. Nothing that i looked at had the revenue potential or the benefits of the Adult Internet, so in summer of 1998, i jumped in with both feet.

~Here's an old school one of the man:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Shemp got 3 questions for you m8:

"What do you think is going to happen mid-term to "lower-profile" small webmasters when it comes to getting their work (mean it freesites, tgp gallerys, avs's, trades,etc..) accept among the top dogs like yourself ;) ?"


"Do you travel outside US often (as in coming to Europe)?"

"Did you got yourself a HT(s) (that question came up when a friend mine saw some of your photos)?"


cheers

11. Who ran Shemp when you got sick?

Bryan and Mike from X-3 scripts along with help from the thumblords, updated shemp for over 18 months when i was getting Leukemia treatments.

i tried to keep up with the advertising requests and the preferred submitters, but it was pretty much hopeless.. hard to sell spots when your puking in a bucket for months on end..

Great interview, I've always respected the way Shemp treats newbies in this biz
:)

Groovus! :)

Good interview, Shemp rules.

Nice interview

12. How come hot women seem to flock to you?

Women are complex, but they do like to be respected and they do like a guy that actually listens to them...plus im a Scorpio...

im also easy to talk to, i dont ever repeat whats been told to me in confidence and most of all, i'm safe... as in sterile ;)

shemp has always been like a father figure to myself as well as many other people in this biz... it doesnt matter if your new or oldschool he always takes time to chat if you need to.. plus you have to love the random pictures of the trailer park and mudfestivals he posts :)

i know any time there is a adult party or convention i sport the shemp pin proud and i see many others doing the same... shemp you are a good friend and always enjoy our chats :)

now i have 1 question i have always wondered...

i have seen a couple posts over time in regards to an eyeball licking gallery.. i would love to know more bout that :)

14. How many conventions do you attend a year?

one, which is normally the Vegas show.
having missed that this year, i might try to get to the PHX forum.

bump for the shemp.

never did get round to showing you my latest offerings.

must do that soon fella.

best wishes.

I hate to go along with the crowd... This is turning into a sickening lovefest.. but Shemp is da bomb. :)

<---- Hey, lookit my post count... 6,666 :1orglaugh

Well, it was. You've probably missed it by now.

13. What does the future have in store for Shemp? Projects Biz and personal.

I spent a great portion of 2004, improving shemp.com and cutting expenses. It wasnt a growth year, so cutting overhead compensated for that.

as for 2005, my Shemp Forum on Medium Pimpin will pick up a new main sponsor and as its one of the major sponsors, im very pleased about that.

We have one premium AVS site in the works, plus Amber will be giving shemp sex stories a new twist. Orgasmics will be designing a "theme" tgp as well..
"Nina knows movies", needs a complete overhaul...

Personally, ive been working on my car, to get it ready for the show and shine circuit starting this spring.. Long term id like to move to the interior of BC, Kelowna, Kamloops, Vernon etc....

Great thread!
Respect for mr Shemp!

woohoo, can you tell us more about Orgasmics project?

15. What do you think about traffic trading scripts and cheaters of those scripts.

i only trade traffic with people i know and trust...

a few things have bothered me about the evolution of the TGP.
- trade scripts are acceptable, high skims and redirections are not.
- Ive always thought using a sponsors thumb tor traffic trading purposes was wrong.
- sponsors creating and hosting 1000's and 1000's of galleries....this is not necessary..

we have created a saturation syndrome for TGPs, where almost all the new ones will fail...because they rely on other people to do all the work for them, thus making almost all new sites "instant disappointment"

16. Describe the perfect or best type of galleries.

a gallery is pretty simple, no need to make it complex...
the purpose is to show the surfer some samples of content, if he/she likes the content, then they hopefully will want to see more and proceed through to the tour. so to me, content is always the most important things on a gallery. You also need some good hook text descriptions as well.... not a lot of fancy graphics...

there are variations on this though... some guy builds galleries with 20 pix and a long descriptive story and tells the surfer to join AFF to get some action.. it seems to work well...

17. Do you still get off on online porn?

ive got a nice collection of porn..if i want to see something good, i'll pull out an Anette Haven or Jessie Saint James video from 1979-80... otherwise im pretty much desensitized to the barrage of porn i see every day..

18. Describe the hottest/sexiest woman you've ever sceen or thought about. FULL details.

a good looking babe that plays soccer......Mia Hamm :thumbsup

hang on for a bit fris, no-one has touched that site for quite a while.
its on my todo list...
