Stile Project is a website maintained by a young Canadian writing under the pseudonym "Jay Stile" whose real name is Brian Joseph Anidjar [1] (http://www.nndb.com/people/402/000031309/).
Started in the summer of 1999, Stile Project has grown into a large network of counter-culture, amateur adult entertainment and current-events sites, forums, and more, called stileNET (http://www.stilenet.com). Stile Project gained massive popularity after the webmaster faked his own suicide live on his webcam in 1999.
Howard Stern talked about the suicide stunt on the air, and Marilyn Manson once had a link to the site on his page, which resulted in massive amounts of traffic to Stile Project. This website has a huge and loyal following, and it's not uncommon to see people wearing Stile Project T-shirts and other clothing items on TV or on the street.
Stile Project was also the home of the web's first 'cam portal', where people would post pictures of themselves with webcams in an interactive format. The Stile Project webcam portal eventually involved into a separate website called Cam Whores (http://www.camwhores.com).
The site started as an innovative collection of internet oddities and daily blog about the webmasters life, winning a Webby Award in 2000 for best "Weird" site, but has slowly evolved into a media portal of funny, porn and shock content. It is based on the blog of one (Jay) Stile. Stile, as he is commonly referred to, is supposed to live in his mother's basement while endlessly browsing the web and occasionally venturing out to go on interesting adventures ending in some awkward or disturbing human interactions.
The Stile Project also played a role in the popularization of All your base are belong to us and the Goatse shock site. During the latter months of 2000, the title of the site was changed to "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!!" Stile was also among one of the first to host a mirror of the flash movie.
The website also has a very popular forum[2] (http://www.theforum.com), one of the largest on the internet.
The Stile Project server is located in the Alaskan region.
Since its inception in the late 1990s, the Stile Project's contents have grown increasingly pornographic. Critics of the site would contend that it now serves as little more than a web portal to pornography, though "Jay Stile" still occasionally writes his blog entries and posts non-pornographic images and videos.
