Free-spanking.com was a very early project of mine, built to be be your one stop source for all things spanking. To be quite honest, once we made our complete focus on production, this site slowly became out dated, and just quite ugly. This was before the days when we had a tech department to build websites, and this site shows my embarrassing and limited html skills at the time. Part of my full immersion back into the spanking scene, is to get back to basics and get back in touch with everything spanking. No promises of anything soon, but I have begun my web education again and I am working hard to learn to code again, as well as the most recent technology and style sheets that make websites more functional and compatible.
I guess I am trying to make a few points with this post. First, our site Realspankings.com clearly took the spanking world by surprise. We were the very first spanking site to film content exclusively for the web and we were certainly very well received. It started with a real life couple with a love for spanking that were willing to share some of our kinkier moments with the world. The devoted support we had from our members allowed us to grow big and fast. As you all know, this lead to a couple of studios, more than 100 models, many different sites, spanking forums, a spanking chat, DDV sales, AVN awards, PPV movies, and so on.
But somewhere along the way, it became just plain work. A work day used to consist of setting up a set, bringing in a single model and spending the most of the day scripting and filming a couple of really great scenes. Eventually it became about managing dozens of employees, dealing with lawyers and accountants, balancing very busy shoot schedules, and the list just goes on. It is clear by now to most of you that J and I took some time off. For me, instead of just jumping right back in to where I left off, I am taking it slow and focusing on some of what I really loved to do, before it all just became so grand in scale. I am committing a lot of time and effort to the blog, which is something that I actually enjoy doing. I am doing a total redesign of Free-spanking.com and I am doing all of the work myself. I am going to make it the site I had always envisioned it to be. There will be links, site reviews, DVD reviews, profiles of most of the spanking models in the industry, a spanking education resource, and so much more. I will then be focusing my attention on The Spanking Directory, updating all of the links, beginning to bring the spanking directory awards back into action, and adding some new and fun features that you will all enjoy. Along the lines of production, I will also be involved. My focus will be on the quality of the scenes produced, making sure that we are producing the type of scenes that created such a loyal fan base.
At the moment, it is all about me getting back to the basics. In a sense, it is time to get my hands dirty again and get out from behind a desk. Telling someone what kind of site that needs to be built, is far different than building it myself. Creating a list of the scenes that need to be filmed, is much different than dragging the furniture around the room until I have created a setting that feels realistic to me. Having a crew create content for all of our updates, is much different than filming a scene that personally really turns me on. Having someone interview a model on camera is much different than me asking her all the questions that I really want to know. This post is not about promises, it is not about guarantees of our future content or sites. It is an honest admission to where I am personally at in this crazy industry. The new studio is a done deal and a reality. There are no major plans for new sites, but a very real focus on bringing my personal touch back to the current sites. Realspankings.com and Women-Spanking-Men is what really started it all for us, and these two sites are going to get a lot of personal attention from myself and Miss J.
For the first time in years, I am very excited to be doing what it is I do best. Give us a little time to get back in the saddle, but you will begin to see the results of our efforts as we take the greatest spanking sites in the world and raise the bar even higher. Thanks to all of you for making everything we have been successful at possible.
Cheers,
Mr. M
