11. Are you a virgin? Come on tell the truth...

In what way? I've never fucked goats, so I guess I'm a virgin in that aspect.

12. How do you keep eveything community oriented when your site is getting so huge? I think I saw it was in the top 10,000 sites worldwide. That's quite an accomplishment.

Yeah, crapville is in the top 10,000 of all websites in the world. 10,000 seems like a high number, but there are literally BILLIONS and BILLIONS of sites out there, so hitting 10k is pretty big. Keeping the community aspect of it is a little difficult at times because when so many people are in one place, there are a lot of different opinions and ideas being shared and not everybody is willing to hear one another. Things like that cause people to leave or get bored. That's something that is going to happen regardless. They all come back in the end though, so it's ok.

13. Art seems to be quiet prominent in your life whether it be music, web or graphic design. What's your favorite form of art? Who the most influential artist in your life?

I'd love to give some educated answer to this question, but it's pretty simple. I love what I do and I'm inspired by similar artists. Graphic/Webdesign has been something I've always wanted to do and couldn't. Now I have the tools and the knowledge to do it and I love every minute of it. I'm inspired by things people take for granted on a daily basis. when people look at billboards or advertisements, they thing "ad"... I look at it and think about the artist that made it and how they made it. I also like animation, and one of my favorite artists and cartoonists was Bill Plympton. His style was unlike anyone elses and he had the best sense of art and perspective I ever saw in an animator.

14. Favourite Color? Movie? Song?

My favorite color is blue (suprising, huh?). One of my favorite movies is Monty Python and the Holy Grail... that still cracks me up every time I see it. Song? I have tons, but just about anything from Nine Inch Nails or Marliyn Manson is genius. Read the lyrics to any one of their songs and you will see.

15. Although its limited, what do you do to get away from CrapVille?

I get out and go to the movies fairly often, and go out to restaurants to have a few beers and some steak. I love fishing and going out on my shitty little boat. I spend a lot of time with family when I have time off... other than that, I try to hurry up and get back to my site.

16. If you could have a conversation with someone living or dead who would it be? What would you ask them?

I'd love to have a conversation with Marilyn Manson. I think he's one of the most educated people and would love to hear what he has to say about a lot of different things.

17. If there was one thing you could to say to everyone what would it be?

Everyone on my site? I'd probably say "thanks for visiting, hope you come back"... If I could say anything to everyone else in the world, I'd say... "yo". I'm not a great speaker :)

18. If you had a pet monkey what would you name it and why?

Probably Tanner... that seems like a good name for a monkey for some reason. (you could see that coming, huh?)

19. If you could only take 3 items on a deserted island what would they be. feel free to explain if you feel like it.

A laptop, a satellite connection, and a solar powered power converter... I gotta make sure the website is still up. Worry about food later.

20. If you had to have one word tattood on your forehead, what would it be, and why?

It would be "asshole", but I would write it in a Chinese symbol, that way it would look cool... except for when I visit china... or get chinese food.

21. Suppose the world did revolve around you, what would your subjects address you as?

"Tony"... I'm just Tony, always have, always will be. I don't need or want a special title. I just run a cool site and have the best job in the world.

Those last 2 are from my friend Dave. Pardon his crazyness. Thanks for the interview tony.
