Without going into various operational details of what Cool Piranha have been up to, life has not been easy for JohnMasonStudio.com

I'd like to thank all the members who have stuck with us, because there have been long gaps between updates and we've had a shitload of problems with servers, hackers and people trying to ruin what John and others have tried hard to build.

While John has left CP, his site is still very much alive, and his little helper has been rotating and resizing his images like a mad thing over the last few weeks, and we're currently building websets to update with.

John is, of course, unaware of what goes on in the background, since he's a bandana-wearing photog who swans around with nude women draped around his waist while the rest of us do the real work!

So please bear with us, we're in the process of updating and John's new material should be up on the site very soon indeed.

Its a great shame because Johnmasonstudio COULD be a fantastic website. The updating has been appalling (Sorry but I couldn't mince my words) and the images (Which I'm sure John provides at a decent resolution) are resized to something like 650x450. Also, it is pretty frustrating to see far higher qulaity versions of these sets appearing occasionally at other websites such as www.teendreams.com and karupspc.com (Amongst others)

With the database infrastructure in place, adding new content should be a relatively simple process! Sorry if I'm getting a bit techie but I do know a little about website design and maintenance.

Anyway John, apologies for my criticism but you have a great opportunity being wasted away.

Yeah, I've joined the site a couple of times (on the basis of webmaster promises in this newsgroup) and also feel my hard earned bucks have been somewhat wasted.

Again, though, I would say it could be the best (And therefore most profitable) British adult site with the right care and attention to what the surfer wants!

Bob's right, auto-loaders are the way to go, and we've just instituted software that does all that. It still means that someone has to sit there, creating the websets day in, day out and assigning load dates to them all.

The problems we've had have been people-based, with an ASP programmer in one country, an image expert in another and multiple projects all being run simulatneously. And we're not cash-rich enough to spunk a load of money to centralise and use one office, because we're doing this as enthusiasts more than on a commercial basis. As Bob will tell you, there's not exactly a pile of cash in adult websites anymore.

That's no excuse for not updating the site, however. The log-in page? Don't even get me fucking started on that one... I could cry.

Most people on this site know John and his work, and John knows me. Therefore he knows that I'm not lying when I say that JMS.com will be updated and we will continue to bring the best in UK girls to the web. But we would appreciate a bit of patience from members and that loyalty will be rewarded. Once I've cleared it with the big boss of CP, of course!

JD, I do what I can, but I'm one link in a pretty long chain of arseholes, all trying to do several projects at once. We now have one person in place who's sole job is to process John's images and create websets out of them, so things should pick up very soon.

Just to clear things up a little bit. Although I've 'left' Cool Piranha, I do continue to support the JMS website. I'm shooting new content on an almost daily basis and will continue to do so. I know that the webmaster is doing his best, and he has told me that everything should be sorted out very soon.

Thanks for the reassurance John. Perhaps you could see to us getting some reasonable sized images (i.e 1024x768). Now that would be a positive step forward.
