I remember reading an interview on the Internet several months ago in which Luke Ford was being interviewed by someone else. During the course of that interview, Luke Ford disclosed that his real name was not Luke Ford. His real name was actually mentioned during the interview, but I just can't remember it to save my life and I can't find that interview no matter how hard I try.
Luke Ford, the person, used to own and run www.lukeford.com but is no longer affilated with that website. The website, www.lukeford.com, is now being run by Wanker Wang (who has been doing the lion's share of the writing for that site). Whereas, the person who formerly wrote under the name Luke Ford now writes for and operates www.setgo.com.
It is my understanding, and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong (and you can prove it conclusively), that the person formerly known as Luke Ford no longer goes by that name, even though people still refer to him by that name because that's the name he is famous for.
Did I only dream that Luke Ford interview? Did somebody spike my drink? Please help.

Lukeford.com is currently being run by Wanker Wang, who may be Cal444, a.k.a. C hristopher Al exander, with a funny wig.
The ORIGINAL Luke Ford, who´s not actually christened (or jewened, in his case) Luke Ford IRL, but I think his real name is Chaim Amalek, is writing for setgo.com under the alias D.U.C.
Planet, I'm pretty sure it's not Chaim Amalek, but thanks just the same. There was one website I went to that described Chaim Amalek as one of Luke Ford's "imaginary friends." And by that, they meant that the person posting on Luke Ford's website as Chaim Amalek was actually Luke Ford himself pretending to be someone else. Luke had several of these imaginary friends when he ran www.lukeford.com.

It doesn't matter to me if his real name is Luke Ford or not. I'll go ahead and call him that until he publicly asks people to call him something different. (The only confusing thing is the lukeford.com website.)
As for the WankerWang thing, I have met Cal444, WankerWang, AND Chris Alexander, and I can assure you that they are 3 separate people.
Tricia, the confusion about www.lukeford.com arises from the belief that Luke Ford is the person's real name (I explained in my initial post why I believe this isn't true). Here's what I've read over the years. "The columnist formerly known as Luke Ford" sold the rights to the website www.lukeford.com a few years and moved on. I don't remember the name of the person or company who bought the rights to www.lukeford.com, but after a time, Wanker Wang took it over after he resigned as Extreme Associates' webmaster.
Wanker Wang is presently the webmaster and columnist for www.lukeford.com. To the best of my knowledge, WW is not the owner of it. It's very likely that Chris Alexander of Anabolic owns www.lukeford.com because at the same time Wanker Wang took over as webmaster for www.lukeford.com, he also assumed webmaster duties for the official Anabolic/Diabolic websites and pay sites. Also, at www.lukeford.com, Ana/Dia's latest movies and shenanigans are heavily promoted on a regular basis.
Meanwhile, "the columnist formerly known as Luke Ford" eventually became the columnist for www.setgo.com (this becomes very obvious with minimal research). I, myself, still usually refer to him as Luke Ford, even though I'm pretty sure that's not his real name. If you've read the interview with Bella Donna at Setgo (the one where Bella reacts to the ABC Primetime Live fiasco), then you can conclude that "the columnist formerly known as Luke Ford" is going by the mysterious initials "D.U.C." (and not by the name Jason as I mistakenly thought at first). ObiBong speculated that D.U.C. might mean "deep under cover."
So, to summarize regarding Luke Ford, it goes like this. A guy enters the porn world and assumes the name Luke Ford (not his real name). He starts a website based on that name (www.lukeford.com). He achieves fame/notoriety by breaking one or two big stories in the industry, and acquires a fairly large following functioning as a porn gossip columnist and muckraker on his website. At some point, he sells the rights to the website (www.lukeford.com) and moves on. Eventually, he resurfaces at www.setgo.com, essentially doing the same thing as before, but going by the initials D.U.C. Maybe he really is still calling himself Luke Ford, but that's not his real name.
I know his actual name is completely unimportant to most people, but I would really like confirmation on what I read months ago (I read his actual name, but I don't remember it now).
BTW, Tricia, Planet Sex already knew that Chris Alexander, Cal444, and Wanker Wang are three different people. He was just clowning around (as usual).

Do you wanna be even MORE confused?
There´s lukeford.com, the porn news site run by Wanker "Sam Seed" Wang...
...And there´s LUKEFORD.NET, a mainstream site run by the real Luke Ford!

Luke had LOTS of "imaginary friends", as any daily column writer. But if you check the copyright of Luke Ford´s book, "A History of X", at the Library of Congress, you´ll find it registered under "Chaim Amalek".
Something about that name screams "anagram" to me. It's really easy to get "Michael" or even "Mike" out of that, plus several possibilities for last names.
Very interesting, Planet. Chaim Amalek might (seems to) actually be Luke Ford's real name, and he openly writes under the name Luke Ford about issues not related to porn on one website, and secretly writes under the name D.U.C. about porn issues on another website. What a slippery character.
But I would think that since Bella was just interviewed by D.U.C., she herself could verify whether or not D.U.C. is also Luke Ford. Maybe at some point Tricia could determine this for us because of her connection with Bella.

I used to think that as well, but "Chaim" is how hebrews pronounce "Caine" (as in Abel´s brother).
What a smart lady you are, YogaGrrl! I think you might be right. Luke Ford is turning out to be a human Rubicks Cube. Maybe sometime soon I'll be able to get to that website that supposedly published his real name and verify all of this.
But remember, Planet, Luke Ford was raised Christian. He converted to Judaism in adulthood (but then again, he might have legally changed his name after his conversion). Wow, is this confusing. I think I'd like to interview Luke Ford, myself.
