![]() ![]() IAFD takes user corrections though forms on the site. Īccording to Vanzetti, IAFD adds about 500 new titles a month and processes thousands of corrections-corrections that anyone can submit for review. On March 1, 2007, the IAFD rolled out information on over 18,000 gay titles and some 39,000 gay performers. In 2011, he was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame. Van Aarle died on Septemat the age of 42 from a heart attack. The cut-off date of 1989 was a compromise to include at least the titles of Buttman, who was one of the most popular directors of the time. The data on older titles was clearly the most difficult to compile (and very few people I ever talked to had much info on the older stuff, with a few notable exceptions like Jim Holliday), and therefore the more valuable part of the data. The idea behind this was basically that if I would ever decide I wanted to do something commercially with my database it would be a good idea to keep the most valuable parts of it off limits. In those early days of the IAFD I had made one stipulation: I did not want the movie info on movies before 1989 to be available. Initially, search boxes only searched females, and data was restricted to movies released post-1989. The beginning of 1999 brought the first steps towards the relaunch of the IAFD. Vanzetti was looking for a project on which to teach himself on-line database programming using SQL Server, and this seemed like a natural fit, since they were both co-moderators of the newsgroup (RAME), and members of the newsgroup would often lament about the passing of the original Internet Adult Film Database. In the fall of 1998, Van Aarle was at a trade show with Jeff Vanzetti, who asked if Van Aarle would be interested in resurrecting the IAFD - this time under its own domain. After Wilhelm left the Internet to join the military, the site eventually fell victim to link rot. The first version of the IAFD was brought on-line in 1995 by the programming efforts of Wilhelm, who used the project as a training ground for SGML programming which he was learning in college. ![]() Van Aarle later collaborated on this Web database with Ron Wilhelm, who went by the pseudonym of "Heretic". The two exchanged databases and began work on a WWW-based database. In 1993, he began contributing to the Usenet newsgroup, where he met Dan Abend. IAFD was started by Peter van Aarle, who had collected data on adult movies since 1981, when he began keeping notes on index cards on adult movies he had seen or were reviewed in Adam Film World. The predecessor to IAFD was email- and FTP-accessible database of adult film actresses called Abserver that had been created by Dan Abend in 1993. The Internet Adult Film Database ( IAFD) is an online database of information pertaining to, in United States, the pornography industry: actors, actresses, directors, studios, distributors and pornographic films. ![]()
