Van Darkholme's Post Award Show Testimonial
We went to Los Angeles to West Hollywood for the Cybersocket Award Ceremony. And it went all, everybody in the industry was there. You know, from huge websites to also major gay studios were there accepting awards. "Gay sites goes to Bound Gods!" Well I won the Cybersocket 2009 Web Award for Server's Choice for the best fetish site, Bound Gods. And Cybersocket is a website and it's also a magazine featuring, you know, gay culture, porn sites, anything that's gay related, what's new, what's hot. It was fun to represent Kink.com, you know I had my K on my chest and people were slowly coming up to me. They were telling me how great that Peter is doing the gay content, and it was good to be out, to be seen. And people are noticing us, so I thought that was pretty amazing. And I was amazed that they would come up to me and say, "Hey! We love your stuff!" And I thought it was incredible, that they would come up and say that to me. Especially we were only, you know, on the web for 6 months, everybody know about us. I guess I must be doing great work and it gives me more energy to get back into the studio and create more stuff. Cause I know people appreciate thing that I do, that I love. I had a speech made right beforehand, just in case if I won anything. But when I was standing there watching, people just running up the stage, you know, grab the award and just say "Thank You!" and then just ran off real quick. And I didn't want to be something different and just stand there and just blah blah blah blah blah and get pushed off the stage. "I would like to thank Peter Acworth, the owner of Kink.com. And thank you Cybersocket, and thank you everyone." "Bound Gods, everybody, Kink.com!" So this is what I would have said if they had allowed me the time. "I would like to thank Peter Acworth of Kink.com for having me, and Bound Gods. And for embracing the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community. Because it's just a beautiful thing to see the rainbow flag, now I'm going to get really emotional. The rainbow flag flying over our studio, The Armory. And I would like to thank my crew, who's been working extremely hard at this. And also to Cybersocket, and also the members who voted for us. And, thank you everyone."
