Hunter "Hunna Mo" Moore (born March 9, 1986) is an American entrepreneur, musician, promoter and founded the former "revenge porn" website IsAnyoneUp?.

Early life

Moore started his career with a style website at the age of 12. He later went on to make his first t-shirt company in the eighth grade after being kicked out of school. Before dropping out of high school, he also created an online community for the video game Diablo II as well as a local party promotion business, already establishing himself within the San Francisco Bay party scene. At age 18, he became an occasional hairstylist for a fetish porn website. He then went on to win a six-figure lawsuit against a mall retail store after a filing a harassment complaint with the company and used the money to travel across the world to explore the "partying" ethics of other countries. He went to countries such as Kazakhstan and Lithuania, before being specifically intrigued by Australia, residing there for nearly a year. After he returned to the US he started a sex-party company that catered to all desires and fetishes (ex: gang-bang etc). He then sold the business when he became "worried because it was almost prostitution."

Is Anyone Up?

Is Anyone Up? was founded in 2009 after a bad break-up Moore had experienced. The site itself was fairly quiet for the first year before becoming a household name within the social networking community. Founder Hunter Moore stated the idea from the site came from a woman who continuously sent him exposing pictures, he then created a blog hosting nude photographs and it eventually became isanyoneup.com. The website generally garners around $10,000 each month for advertisement revenue alone. Moore has stated that he spends generally 12 hours and five days a week managing posts to the website. He also mentioned that the website sees over 30 million page views a month.

Each submission to the website usually follows the same formula of depicting a man or woman's social networking website profile thumbnail (such as their Facebook or Twitter profile) and then depicts images of them clothed before revealing images exposing their genitalia, or even in some cases, engaging in sexual acts such as masturbation. Each submission line then ends with a "reaction image", usually showing a still or animated gif file of a popular culture scene or Internet meme as a satire "reaction" to the shown images. Moore states that he takes legal precautions before uploading people onto the site, initially verifying the age of the people submitted through social networking sites and sends the IP information of people who submit photos of underage individuals to a lawyer in Las Vegas who turns it over to law enforcement in the event they have submitted underage or illegal material. Other categories of the site exist such as "Daily Hate", a topic that features angry reactions from people who have had their pictures posted without their consent. "Daily Gnargoyle" usually depicting a large and unattractive female and the "Daily Bro" which generally features an overly tanned and muscular guy taking "selfies" in a mirror.

In November, 2011 Moore was invited to appear on the Anderson Cooper talk show and was confronted by Anderson as well was two women he had posted on IAU. After the episode aired the traffic to IAU became almost impossible to keep up with. With the major international exposure it opened Moore up to a lot more people and was inundated with submissions featuring children and bestiality, to name a few. It was these types of submissions that led to Moore's decision to shut the site down and sell the domain name.

On April 19, 2012, the website was shut down by Moore's decision. He left an open letter on BullyVille.com explaining why he did so to anyone who attempts to open the isanyoneup.com domain.
