Andy, Basschick, et al:
I stand corrected. Actually, I mis-typed the date....guess I should have proof-read it. Live and Raw was registered on October 27, 1999. Not sure when it was launched but well after 1999. Hot Desert Knights was registered on February 15, 1998 and launched on May 8th, 1999. The original launch was under the name www.barebackers.com and later, after we achieved name recognition and branding, we began to use the website www.HotDesertKnights.com
I didn't say that Chi-Chi meant her site to be associated with bareback, but she damn well was smart enough to take advantage of the word "raw" in the search engines. If she wasn't trying to take advantage of those surfers looking for RAW, i.e. bareback films....she could just as easily have named her site Live and Real as opposed to Live and Raw.
Very few believe that the use of the word "raw" by Chi-Chi signifies unedited. But then, believe what you wish.
And yes, Bruce and Keith are to be commended for sticking by their convictions. They and Titanmedia have always stuck by their convictions. It's nice to have others in the industry not afraid to stand by what they believe.
