Free Nude Celebrity Web Page
Written by D!ck Anyone who's into nude celebs on the internet will know that 90% of the nude celebrity sites are actually pay-to-view, that is, you have to give your credit card details and the runner of the site charges you around 10 dollars a month to access the page. Offset this against what you pay for your net access anyway and you might find that you're paying as much again for the celebs. A friend came to me (We'll call him The Doctor) with the idea of starting a completely free Nude Celebs site, we spent a while looking at possibilities and then he bought a Hauppage WinTV card to do our own grabs with, that kind of swung our decision and so we're now creating a site that comprises all out own captures. You've seen a fit babe in a movie, of you know that a certain star has appeared nude, pay a visit to our site and chances are you'll find the image on there, especially if it has been n TV recently. Quite often you'll find the image is better than you've seen on your TV, because the grabber we use is not bordered like your TV screen. For example, look at your Channel 5 picture, you'll see that the gap around the logo (above and to the left) is about half the logo width. If we were to grab that screen then there would be a lot more image to see, the gap around the logo would be more like three quarters of the logo width or more. We also boost the incoming signal to improve the image stored on video tape, because stronger signals give a more defined image. When grabbing straight from the TV our images are second to none. We present these images in two ways: While we only have a few images of a certain celebrity we will put only two or three of the very best ones onto the web page; when we get enough we compile all these and more images of the celeb into a montage, and put that on the web page. Our pages are pretty spartan, most of the graphics are created to be less than one "packet" in size, we aim for sub-2k thumbnails (while they are still 50x50 pixels) and coordinated backdrops. Everything we do is done and redone until we are happy with it, and then we'll say that we are unhappy with something and look for ways of improving it AGAIN. The end result is a very polished site that, with a 33.6 modem and at a relatively low net load, should present you with a fully-loaded page in under 30 seconds, and STILL LOOK GOOD! One problem we're having is finding an ISP who isn't going to charge the earth to host this site. We are applying the same rigourous checking to this as we are to the details of our site, and while we are down to the last two options, we are still researching ways to make the page download quicker and with less graphical hits. It is our intention to seek sponsorship through advertising to keep this site free, for the sake of a couple of adverts - less than 10k in size and probably more like 5k - you should be able to enjoy access to the site with no charges whatsoever. In the event that we overrun our hits limit we may have to charge, current thinking indicates that if this were the case we could get away with charging only £5 per YEAR, compared with $10 per month from out competitors. However, we're working on that... The only other limit is the size of the site. When we first start it is quite possible that we will only have 10Mb to play with. While this is certainly enough to start the site and run it at a high level, it does not give us the room to make it into the be-all and end-all site that we would prefer, but again, we're working on that. Visit the page, it's located at: http://ds.dial.pipex.com/limelight/bsc/ Suggested browser screen width is 800 pixels, although it will [a] still be fine in 640 and [b] look cool in 1024, but we designed it with 800 in mind. All major browsers should have no problems as long as they support Frames, Forms and Image Maps. Make sure you sign the guest book and ONLY Bookmark the front page, as sub-page names are likely to change as we expand. D!ck
