Sounds like you've got your shit sorted @Lehsyrus. One additional suggestion is that instead of using a spreadsheet you use a database. Microsoft Access is a whole lot more efficient for keeping track of things than a spread sheet.
I know what you mean. I'm going to have tags for longer and short videos, basically for what people will want they can add tags to their search by starting to type the tag, and it will popup in a dropdown box, and they can add tags to really specify their search. I am also thinking about putting in a cookie-based favorites system so people can always find the video they really like.
I may be scripting my own, I'll definitely be using java so people on iOS devices can watch the videos. I do want a preview of the video when you hover your mouse over, possibly when you leave your mouse over it for about five seconds the video will come up in a slightly bigger bubble and preview as well, I'll look into all of the possibilities.
The hosting I have is unlimited bandwidth and unlimited storage on the new xeon series server mobo's, I will definitely offer downloading in the future, but I may take a look into a few adult PPD sites that I may have it setup so I can make a bit more revenue for the site through the downloads. At the very least, I will setup another host and store the videos on there for downloading, and use a link-filter to get to the videos (click on the link, shows the ad for five seconds, then you can proceed), I need to make money here
I love me some lesbo's myself, definitely going to happen
Thank you my good sir
-You got it
-The first theme is going to be extremely basic, the one that comes next will be more classy, but in a suave manner. Probably a gray tile background with a very neutral feel to it, but it will look very classy.
-I agree, the first site won't be as in-depth as when we finally pay someone to make the template, though we plan on utilizing every possible option for site-safety for the users as well as a fast browsing UI that loads quickly. We may do an off-site storing database with content compression like Opera uses for its web-browsers to speed up the site, in the future we will definitely be upgrading to our own servers when we save up enough
-That will be for the second template, we have a lot of variables to consider with the members program, considering it will be completely free. We want to give the members a clusterfuck of features that they can actually USE and not just go "dafuq is this?".
-I have four people on-board and will be working along with them in an office we setup in my one buddies place to do all of the main work, we are also not allowing outside uploading for the first year or so.
-I will definitely take a look into this. I like the idea, or at least put them in a "user favorites" category.
-We plan on making the tagging system as in-depth as possible, along with a spread sheet of every tag and it's general search purpose for people who want to be very specific on their video preferences.
-We are only uploading videos that are available for free already, we will do a lot of research to ensure the video was never a paid item. We actually have a paralegal on the team (ironic) who is checking all of the legalities, so far we've been right on key.
-Never will have popups
-For the first month or two this is inevitable as we are not allowing user uploads to keep the site organized, but we will expand as quickly as possible
-We will have a Standard Quality and High Quality section, both as the top two main categories to search through. Standard will have more videos as you usually only find HQ videos for sale, but we will put as many up as we can find.
-We plan on paying someone very well in the future for an amazing design and will work with him until it's perfect.
My host is specific for adult hosting, I've got that shit covered

On that note, once you get a database going you may want to buy a service off someone whos good with databases, depending on how smart you want your search tool to be. Don't know bout you man but sql makes my brain fuzzle when it gets too messy.
Also I think the portal ads for the downloads is a great idea. I don't mind staring at an ad for 3 to 5 seconds as long as I get my download.
Oh, and once you start developing a basic design and stuff let me know and I'll see what I can come up with in my spare time. My girlfriend is studying Web Development and she loves porn, so I'm sure she'd be happy to give me a helping hand...and help with your website.

Add ******s..
make sure it has fetishes like golden showers and rainbow kisses and shit.
Yeah the SS is only really for the vocabulary, I plan on using SQLDB's every step of the way to make my life easier
Awesome, yeah I agree I know the BARE BASICS when it comes to DB scripting, I plan on saving all of the funds from the site for the first few months purely to setup long-term payment and to pay someone to do the site professionally.
Excellent, I'll look for a good portal advertising service that isn't a god awful annoyance.
And will do! I know the feeling, my girl got pissed at first when I told her my idea because she thought I was going to be in it I was like "NO GOD DAMNIT I want to be the agent"
P*rn site, Y there are already so much of them >.<
Music sites either A) you need thousands of dollar to start due to the DMCA restrictions or B) all of the music must be original and user uploads must all be policed. Also music sites make next to nothing currency wise as the bigger sites have raped the market.
Every porn site I have looked into that is free has a PPI setup (Pay per install). If you have ANY security issues in your browser, or you do not have a firewall/antivirus, you will get a virus. All of the decent free sites have terrible designs, an the content is meh at best. I want to do it better, an make a good buck or two doing so.
Like: Preview when mouse hover, free access on vids (not the HD ones if that's too much).
Dislike: Too many Ads and that there's no filter on the Gay/Shemale vids (I mean they shouldn't be in the main page ffs) [BTW Tube8 has this one so there are just straight vids in the main ]
whose gonna buy shares :P
