    I was one, and still am.

    No, but seriously - if you think about it, adult webmaster sounds weird and cheesy - especially from the outside.

    Anyone know where the term originated? couldn't we come up with something a little cooler!?

    Adult = Works with Adult Related Material
    WebMaster = Internet based Affiliate

    Adult + WebMaster = adult webmaster

            I am pretty sure Rick M at thebestporn.com/ YNOT penned the name " Adult Webmaster"
            Somewhere around 96 or so.

                  I always thought the "web master" part was a little weird sounding to begin with.

                  I mean, if I was an office manager, would I call myself the "manager master"?

                  Or if I fixed cars, "car master".

                  What made this person call themself a master to begin with?

                  I do throw parties as a promoter, I'm a "party master".

                      But you could be an office master, a master mechanic or a master promotor.

                          I used to work with a chick that insisted on being called an adult "webmistress"... which to me sounded less like an adult website operator and more like something you'd want to keep secret from your wife.

                            I'm glad someone came up with it, because having a "Pornographer$" link at the bottom of every paysite linking to the aff program instead of "Webmaster$" just wouldn't feel as professional.

                                I think the key is that many webmasters got into this business having to know many different aspects of the WEB business.

                                Some are more niche. Such as a Web Designer or a Web Developer. Someone who has to master many talents and have a wide range of skills get dropped into the title of Webmaster or Master of the Web.

                                Add in the fact that we are in the adult business then that tacks on the Adult title.

                                Now we could label ourselves in many ways.

                                Adult Industry Web Developer
                                Web Architect of the Adult Realm
                                Web Administrator for Pornography

                                All of those are quite a mouthful.

                                Adult Webmaster just works.

                                  I did? Those years are too difficult to recall!! lol

                                  I know for sure we didn't coin "webmaster". Who knows if we were the first to use "adult webmaster" at YNOT. If we did, I should be punished for lack of creativity. KB always gives me way too much credit. Especially after all the virtual ass destroying I put on him during the post-work (or sometimes at-work) Quake Arena parties.

                                    I just off-topic never understood the "webmistress" moniker. Webmaster is not gender specific. And mistresses are the ones being cheated with.. tsk tsk.

                                        Dammit Rick, can't you just be an egotistical jackass like the rest of us every once in a while? This humility and honesty thing is really getting old.

                                                  If 'adult webmaster' does get changed, I say we go with something more descriptive:

                                                  "StickyDreamWeaver" anyone?

                                                    I know for sure we didn't coin "webmaster". Who knows if we were the first to use "adult webmaster" at YNOT. If we did, I should be punished for lack of creativity. KB always gives me way too much credit. Especially after all the virtual ass destroying I put on him during the post-work (or sometimes at-work) Quake Arena parties.
                                                    Could have been you Rick.....but I seem to recall Joe H. "discussing" the biz with someone at Orlando in the lobby (when your flight was late). I definitely heard him say something like "You call yourself an adult webmaster.....?"
                                                    I think webpower had the term on the signup page for clickcash too.

                                                    But, YNOT definitely defined and promoted the term.
                                                    nothing to promote

                                                      i don't know where it came from, but i've never told anyone that i'm an adult webmaster. i think if everyone focused on money and not the adult aspect the industry would be a far more respected place. when asked i tell people the truth. i'm in the credit card business. i sell products on the internet. i don't care if its adult material or coffee or nutraceuticals. porn does nothing for me. never has. never cared that is was sex that i'm selling. its part of what keeps me grounded and mentally sound. well, mentally sound is debatable depending on your perspective, but i'm doin aight!

                                                      lol.

                                                          Some are more niche. Such as a Web Designer or a Web Developer. Someone who has to master many talents and have a wide range of skills get dropped into the title of Webmaster or Master of the Web.

                                                          Add in the fact that we are in the adult business then that tacks on the Adult title.

                                                          Now we could label ourselves in many ways.

                                                          Web Administrator for Pornography

                                                          All of those are quite a mouthful.

                                                          Adult Webmaster just works.

                                                            it helps to sperate the cool people (adult webmasters) from the non cool (webmasters)

"discussing" the biz with someone at Orlando in the lobby (when your flight was late). I definitely heard him say something like "You call yourself an adult webmaster.....?"

                                                                                  I mean, if I was an office manager, would I call myself the "manager master"?

                                                                                  Or if I fixed cars, "car master".

                                                                                  What made this person call themself a master to begin with?

                                                                                  I do throw parties as a promoter, I'm a "party master".
                                                                                  I would have to say because at least at the time, so fer people could do it. And at the time most of them were more than just web. they did programing as well.
