Bounties should be higher

It takes a hell of a lot of effort to audit a site whilst furiously cracking one off. Probably.

On a slight tangent though for those of you out there thinking it must be awesome to work for a porn site, spare a thought for 3 chaps a former colleague of mine knew.

They were there for 6 months and never speak of the other sights they were privy to.
