About Us
"When I started this site, I had no friends, no money, a terrible rash, and I was living in my parent's basement. Now, four years later, I've finally got my own place and that rash is starting to clear up."

Site Founder

Smooth Operator burst onto the Net in July of 2002 and has single-handedly saved the Internet, rescuing it from the backlash of the Dot-Bomb era and turning the Internet into one of the most popular destinations for Porn and satire fans everywhere.
Smthop.com has innovated while others are struggling to simply imitate. Ideas such as regular updates, user polls, and commenting on articles were all features first pioneered by Smthop.com. Smooth Operator was also the first website to poke fun at celebrities, politicians, and Canadians, something that nearly everyone is doing nowadays. You can hardly watch television, read a book, or witness an old man yelling obscenities at grade school children without seeing the influence of Smooth Operator.
"It's safe to say that without Smooth Operator, the Internet would be a pretty lame place to be," said former Vice President Al Gore. "Has anyone seen my shoes? I swear I left them by the door but they seem to be gone, you assholes better not have stolen them again."
In 2006, readers of The Best Satire Awards voted Smooth Operator the
Best Established Site, an award so prestigious that it has already gone to the heads of the staff here at Smooth
Operator, which caused us to have to widen many of the doors in our office to
accommodate the massively inflated egos.
Current Staff
Kris - Webmaster, writer, stud
2008 Presidential hopeful Kris is a floundering web developer by day and
cough syrup addict by night.
He spends his days "Writing, changing forum fonts, posting silly picks, getting laid, and looking for a real job that justifies my brilliance."
Kris and his Smthop.com was recently awarded the "Feng Shui" award by the Japanese web design consortium, and is featured on links world wide, including Tehran web, Al-Jazeera and el Capitano Brazilia.
Kris hopes that one day, Smthop.com will be bigger than the Beatles.
Mark - Writer
Mark is an amateur writer/musician based in that Venice of the Northcoast, Cleveland, Ohio.
Mark came to Smooth Operator in a trade for three goats and a toaster oven in mid-2003
and has written well over 150 articles for us since. Conversely, the three goats we traded
to get him here have yet to grasp the English language.
Mark is widely regarded as the Web's premier creative genius and isn't so humble that he
won't point that out every chance he gets.
Forever grubbing a free buck and a cheap date, Motz spends most of his time
"Writing, taste testing whisky, sleeping, and taste testing whisky some more."
Mark is also a regular
contributor on DocReno.com.

The Site
The website design for Smooth Operator was done by Kris himself. In addition to the design, he
coded components like a newscript, visitor poll, mailing list, comments for articles, referal tracking,
and visitor tracking. These components are written in ASP and interface with a mySQL database.
If you are interested in having a site designed or in implimenting one or more of these peices on your site,
send an email to kris@smthop.com.
