You deserve an apology. Great to see the support - keep up the great work with HU17, it's a fantastic site. Traffic must be going through the roof - I've just added a backlink for you on my site in support ;) From a fellow developer :)

I sincerely hope this doesn't affect Paul's business - and the HU17 website looks great. The HDM always has a mass panic whenever there's a sniff of competition. They did the same when KC Radio plans were announced and when the BBC moved into Queens Gardens. It's pathetic. They should concentrate on their own products, rather than trying to dig up dirt on others. And, really, who cares if Paul designed these adult sites? He didn't pose for them! Get a grip HDM.

I just wish there could be a real alternative to the HDM in Hull. I personally don't trust anything printed in the name of the non-dom Viscount Rothermere. Non of the semi-literate HDM readers are actually aware of the blatant right-wing agenda of their local paper. They just assume it's unbiased because it's THE local news. We need a local news service dedicated to informing people of real and accurate news rather than the barely subtle fascist agenda of the Rothermere press.

It's fantastic to see that so many have seen through this poor effort for a story and can see that what you do outside of HU17 is a completely different thing and has no bearing or association to the hard work you do here. Congrats on your support, you've a town to be PROUD of!!! I'm proud of your town and I live in Stoke on Trent! Good luck for the future, and a big hand shake to Beverley Minster virger Neil Pickford for showing that even the man of God can see you for who you are. That's my penny's worth, keep up the hard work :) I’m not from your area but I’m SO PLEASED that your local’s and other news sites like theregister have seen this story for the rubbish it is and supported you.

Just because he's coded a few websites in the past which may contain entirely legal adult material, so what? The HDM is trying to insinuate that because of this he must be some sort of evil sex monster because this site contains pictures of children playing sports. It would seem that the Hull Daily Mail is a chip off the old block as this is exactly the sort of dribbling, retrograde nonsense the Daily Mail would print. Ignore the knuckle dragging morons, Mr smith - anyone with more than a couple of brain cells can see that you have done nothing wrong and this faux outrage is unjustified, twaddle, innuendo and border-line libel. Even the local religious lot have come out in support of Mr Smith and rightly so. Fair play to Mr Smith – he’s a normal, everyday IT worker trying to make a living just like thousands of us are.

The paper's behaviour over this has been baffling and out-of-order, and they deserve some sort of reprimand.

I have close links with some escorts in Hull and while the HDM throw stones at you they're quite happy to take money off the escorts for adverts. HDM even offer advice on wording of adverts so they can get their cash while remaining within the letter of the law! As a further illustration of their hypocrisy, several years ago an agency which worked with sex workers wanted to put an advert in the HDM personal column (where all the escorts and brothels advertise) letting the girls know of the services and support that were available. The HDM refused to allow it, the explanation? 'If we took the advert we would be admitting that we know the other adverts are for selling sex and therefore the HDM would be breaking the law. As long as the word sex isn't mentioned we can plead ignorance and escape prosecution'. Some of the adverts they accepted at the time included stuff like 'Ladies for men, ladies for couples and ladies for ladies' how can they plead ignorance of what was going on there? I wish you well Paul, you're in a service industry and you've provided that service to the best of your ability. The HDM are the biggest set of hypocrites ever.
