Kirk Johnson, the man behind Goatse.

The website which also displays the image hello.jpg, it shows a man stretching out his anus with his two hands to the length of his fist. This image was originally named gap3.jpg, and originally came out from an archive of several other pictures of the man stretching out his anus using several different methods, named gap.zip.

In 2004, the owner of the website was eventually taken to court, and the website got suspended. The man in the picture was later identified as Kirk Johnson, a gay man[1] in his late 40s who actively posts pictures and videos of himself on pornographic websites, under his username is KirkJ.[2] the domain name was suspended by the Christmas Island Internet Administration for Acceptable Use Policy violations in response to a complaint, but many mirrors of the site are still available, remaining on the display on many other websites. The Christmas Island resident filed the complaint that resulted in the suspension of the domain name.

History

The website was then put back, after a new owner purchased the website for 8,000 euros in 2008, and is now planning to be a subdomain service on which you can host your own website. It now plans for its own e-mail system, named, Goatse Mail, claiming to be launched in early December 2012. However, the e-mail system has not been launched since.

There was also being plans for a cryptocurrency from Bitcoin called Goatse Coin, but there doesn't seem to be an any progress.[3]
