“We are thrilled at winning the XBIZ Specialty/Alternative Site of the Year Award at this year’s show,” says Colin Rowntree, founder and CEO of Wasteland. Having been  operating Wasteland since 1994, we take great pride in our knack at thinking and shooting “outside the box” and are delighted that our work resonates with our  members, fans and followers.”

Wasteland.com has been featured by HBO, Wired and the BBC, and has won dozens of industry awards. Wasteland’s “sister site”, Sssh.com, presents erotica for women and couples from a woman’s point of view, and has been featured in Time Magazine, Newsweek and the recently published book, A Billion Wicked Thoughts. Colin Rowntree, founder of Wasteland, was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame Founders Division in 2011.

“I am delighted that we’ve been recognized with three XBiz Award nominations this year,” said Wasteland/Spicecash CEO Colin Rowntree. “We have continued to work hard to innovate, and to use Wasteland’s experience in creating evocative content, cutting-edge marketing and technology, and our 16 years of success to continue to be a cornerstone in this ever-changing industry as well as an ongoing standard of excellence.”

“At this point, I’ve pretty much ‘seen it all’ in trends, cookie cutter content and brand creation, gimmicks, and smoke and mirrors in online adult,” Rowntree continued, adding, “I am very happy that Wasteland has ‘stayed the course’ over the years and continues to be where consumers eventually go and stay for compelling content that meets their needs and interests and that our work has garnered the respect of our peers with these nominations.”

Wasteland’s SpiceCash has been delivering world-class BDSM erotica, Asian erotica and womenʼs erotica through a variety of specialty pay sites since 1996. Their program boasts award winning sites and are renowned for their sales-friendly, high-art approach to BDSM, fetish and niche content.

“While it’s always an honor to be recognized, these nominations are particularly exciting for us,” said Andrea Mata, SpiceCash’s Director of Business Development. “To be nominated in areas that span from site to program to company is not only the highest sort of praise but also welcome feedback, that even after 16 years, we continue to be on the right track.”

Wasteland Founder Inducted to AVN Hall Of Fame - Founders Branch

“I am honored and delighted at being inducted into the Internet Founders Branch of the AVN Hall of Fame,” said Rowntree, whose Wasteland.com site is widely considered the premier fetish site on the internet.

“Since starting Wasteland.com in 1994, I’ve seen the adult entertainment industry develop and change dramatically and have truly enjoyed being an active part in its metamorphosis, being a mentor to many coming into the industry over the years, and striving to provide a positive example of artistic and ethical practices. My gracious thanks to AVN for this wonderful recognition.”
