I’ve decided to put a blog here for updates and just general rambling. I’ve been running this site for 13+ years now. Well not this exact URL, but i started the worlds first HIV+ dating site, 13 years ago. It was born of a broken heart and the fact that there was no dating services for HIV+ individuals. I think there were some or something for the gay community, but there was nothing for the heterosexual community. So that what I did, I started the worlds first HIV+ Heterosexual dating service.

After a while people started asking me if they could be on it who were gay. At first I balked, but then in asking why the person replied there was no dating site for HIV+ Gay people either. That’s when I said OK, I make it all sexual preferences. I exclude no one. That’s when things went big. I realized there was a need for the whole HIV+ community, and that’s were I decided this would be my personal labor of love. This HIV+ dating Site, for HIV Positive Singles.

At first I hand coded the website, adn people used to email their profiles and pictures directly to me, and then I found the beauty of CGI, and I made it almost automatic. I didn’t figure out how to upload and attach a picture but people could come and put up a profile, and I didn’t need to be there to do it. It was automatic.

I soon realized there were these things called Nigerian Scammers. Yeah boy, was I surprised but I guess we were all virgins at one time or another right? I had someone email me, yelling at me, saying that I owed him several hundreds of dollars because someone he met on my site scammed him out of money. Basically a scammer got a hold of him, told him she loved him and needed money to come fly to him. He unwittingly sent it. And never heard from her again.

That was my first experience with a scammer or someone who had been scammed. and to him I am sorry, but it is not my responsibility to make sure you don’t send someone on the net money. I have however placed FAQs and other useful information pages up and a page specifically about scammers and spammers.

Ok I need to do soem work on the site and get some excercise in today. I will be posting a new one later.

Ciao…
