Badpuppy turns ten

The longest running gay adult website celebrates ten years online this summer. Badpuppy founder and president Bill Pinyon was a computer network administrator at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral when he parlayed the knowledge he acquired working with a new Internet technology called the World Wide Web into a gay resource site.

It didn't take long for Pinyon and his partner, Steven Wojcik, to discover the huge demand that gay Web surfers had for adult content - and to endeavor to satisfy that demand. Soon they found they had to quit their day jobs to keep up with their own business.  Today Badpuppy has dozens of employees and hosts more content than any other gay megasite.

Back in 2000 we spent countless hours searching the gay adult web for high quality, honest membership sites that we could recommend to visitors of a site we were planning on launching ourselves:  BananaGuide. After joining many absolutely horrible sites we were ecstatic to discover Badpuppy. What a relief it was to find a website with high quality content and good customer service! 

Badpuppy was way ahead of its time. While many of the ripoff sites have fallen by the wayside as credit card companies and the FCC have cracked down on abuses, a  whole new generation of gay porn sites, modelled on good business principals, has arisen. Badpuppy's continued growth is a testament to its leadership position in the gay adult industry.
