Specialty Publications divisions Unzipped, BuyGay.com, and Men Magazine received awards for Best Publication/E-Zine, Best Shopping Site, and Best Erotic E-Zine. Another triple-award winner, Bedfellow, was awarded trophies for Best Adult Gay Megasite, Best Original Content Site, and Best Webmaster Affiliate Program (Bedfellowcash).

Two-time GAYVN Performer of the Year Michael Brandon won Best Porn Star Site, the Best A.V.S. Site award went to Global Male Pass, CCBill was named Best Processor, the Best Lesbian Site award went to Good Vibrations, Adam Male won Best Adult Novelties Site, and Bionic Pixels took the prize for Best Website Development.

For the second year in a row, NakedSword was named Best Pay-Per-View Video Site.

International Dance Diva Pepper MaShay presided as Mztress of Ceremonies, handing out awards at an astonishing clip � the trophy-collecting and “Thank-yous” took all of 45 minutes, but this allowed even more time for attendees to party. Among the luminaries in the packed nightclub were Cybersocket founders Morgan Sommer and Tim Lutz, porn directors, John Rutherford (Colt), Steven Scarborough (Hot House), Mike Donner (All Worlds), and Herve Handsome (High Octane), publisher Caryn Goldberg of Specialty Publications, Rob Novinger of Channel 1, NakedSword president Tim Valenti, Falcon Studios’ Promotions Director Falcon Studios’ Director of Development Mike Youens, and LaRue (dazzling in big red sequins).
