Moderators etc

Odd question, but aside from keeping us all entertained on here, what do you moderators actually do job wise? (By the moderators I mean Ruth, Carly and Richard. And anyone I've not seen!)

I'm just curious. I finish uni this time next year...

An excellent question! I've been trying to work out what people do all day round here, too.

For my sins, I founded LoveHoney with The Professor back in 2002. I don't have a job title or typical day in the office, but everything revolves around make sure our customers get the best products, the best possible service and the best possible Web site.

Sounds so simple when you write it down!

Carly you rock !! laugh out loud !! spell check on !!

Ah yes, I bought Company magazine and saw the spread on the Sex Toy Awards! Was very good, and our Lucy Felthouse was there! You're famous now Lucy

Well you guys all do a great job!

Ah right. Interesting. I always wondered what else went on behind the scenes.

You guys must have such fun jobs, in with the usual office bumph.

I spend most of my day on the phone to suppliers chasing orders. When i'm not ordering current stock lines then I get to sift through the tower of samples behind my desk which is threatening to tumble down at any time for new and exciting products. I also get to travel to trade show... yawn - Vegas is soooo boring : )

You're right crayola this definitely is not what you would call a usual office. From my desk right now looking to my right I can see a Master Guage Penis Pump being photographed ready to go live and to my left I can see that Ruth has a line of coloured LoveBunnies on her desk looking ready for battle. I can also see our office dog mascot - is it a dog or is it a toy...? Whatever it is it should never have ever been created!

Wow- the office I'm doing summer work in has a number of scary road safety posters, and the occassional soft toy zebra.

I love Vegas. I want to go on my honeymoon. (Although when I mention it to the bloke, he was nodding along until 'honeymoon' and then he went oddly quiet and changed the subject... lol). Is the trade show just all the manifacturers trying to get their stuff on the site? I've been to a few Theatre Technology ones with Uni (mainly to get the free stuff lol)

LAS VEGAS CONVENTION CENTER, LAS VEGAS, is it the one above or below the sema car car show i heard there was a porn type show on at the same time ?

The Vegas show we attend is called the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo. It's at the Sands Expo Centre, Vegas in January - the perfect way to get over those post holiday blues! It's all business to business with manufacturers launching their new products for the year.

If any of you guys fancy attending a show I would recommend Venus, Berlin which is open to the public (with a separate trade area). it's in October and is absolutely crazy - you have to be very open minded to visit and be prepared to see anything and everything. Last year I spent about 5 minutes in the public area before running scared back to the trade area.

Id be happy to take some of those samples off your hands and let you know how I get on with them External Media

Your office sounds amazing! Sounds like we need to see some photos of your office fun!!

Note taken for Berlin, I love Berlin but the convention just made it sound even more appealing!

Hi Richard,

Can I be cheeky and ask what drove you and the Prof to set up a sex toys company in the first place? And why do we never see the Prof on the Forums???? We love the Prof!

Yeah the professor is great in the videos!!! He make me laugh! I love the bondage tape video.

Here I am!

@pinkbeach, @whirlybird - thank you! External Media

That pretty much goes for me too... On my desk at the moment I have the 2nd prototype of the winner of the LH Design A Sex Toy competition, which should hopefully be out for Christmas (and is like nothing you have ever seen before, so hold tight!), and several new LoveHoney products that we're working on. Also working on the new LoveHoney website (loads of new improvements in the pipeline), the next issue of the LH magazine, helping Bonny with new products...loads!

Prof! Lovely to see you!

Hmm, sounds like your desk is groaning under the weight of all those new toys - bet your desk is like no other in the country - you should post us a photo, just for our own amusementExternal Media!

Muchly looking forward to all these new toys, but think I'm going to have to get a new job to pay for all my "Secret Phrase" lines on the bank statementExternal Media

You could apply for one of their jobs then Andserkiel!!!!

Tallboy

Well as it happens after the week l have just had l could only answer yes, when can you start!!

Might need to elaborate on your skills Andserkiel just so l can match skills with role and hopefully produce a happy chicken!!!

Clue- l am always dropping things, and my desk is very untidy- do you think you could help, willing to pay above minimum wages!!!

Tallboy

Tallboy

They were boards nailed across the open end of desks to.... sure you get the picture!!! Subject to abuse obviously peeps often drew hairy legs on them with/without plasters!!!!!

Does this help?
