Can't remember. Was that the guy with the nickname "Catholic" something?

Ryan and I talked on the phone today. We were discussing what a cocky bastard he was when he was 18! ;-)[/b][/quote]

I'm still cocky, just not NEARLY as Cocky as I was B)

Some of the 'debates' me and Serge had leading somehow to my nymphomaniac girlfriend will forever be etched in my mind - LOL

BTW Colin, Spank told me about that one lol... :ph34r:

In fact I enjoyed many of Top 3 spots on all the Top lists for weeks in a row. After a while it got to be like the Infoseek instant submissions, JESUS THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE!!!

Did you catch on when me and Spank started to wait the first 3 hours after a reset THAN Bombard over the people waiting for the reset? LOL

Was good talking to you earlier btw Colin - Time for me to get some ZZZzzzz's

My favorite CJ link I have ever seen was "People Fucking Watermelons" [/b][/quote]
Mine was: "Are you a moron?" Then give them a yes or no to click on.

Every Bloody Day... the top link on Anarchy Links was "Wild Rhinos"

I never knew why he used that text link... wonder if that was DK too

Wasn't there two groups of people using the name Rhino at one stage?




And.. talk about everything old is new again.. :)

I started "consuming" online porn back in the BBS days, around '93. Didn't get into the business until 2001.

That fucker.

Ant, I remember calling you begging you not to release a free version of a script I was making $100k/month on.

thougth out the years we've(m3) have been around we've had a bunch of webmasters who made bank and never went to any boards, shows or anything webmaster related. Just worked and made money. I would mention something about netpond,ynot, etc...and they would have no idea or something like yeah I've seen it just dont have to the time to "chat"

It's been fun to watch the years go by for sure, can't wait to see the future :)

99 here :rokk: and My first show was Sharpies Web Expo in Montreal :okthumb:

i have a 6 cent check from IEG from Nov 96
beat that :P

Slav,

and I thought I had the lowest one at 7 cents, hahaha :)

You should deposit that.

You should deposit that. [/b][/quote]
that baby is priceless

I hope its in a frame!! LOL


Colin, people definately backdate when they started ... it seems to be almost standard to put 'online since 1997' on a site, almost as important as '100 000 pics, 10 000 videos, 50 000 stories' :biglaugh:

I started in April 1998, a month after my 21st b'day. The first person I spoke to in the industry was Todd (STK). Launched purve in July 98 and went to my first show in Jan 1999 at the monte carlo. I met Serge & Em, Webfather and Terry & his wife Sarah from Tropixxx hosting in New York before the show and KK once I arrived at the show.

I missed most of the big bucks because I was too busy enjoying myself, but got one hell of an education!!!

LOL, I did start my nonadult ventures in 97, but it was 99 before I found my way to the dark side. If there was anything internet related I could do over, it would have to be skipping the non-adult stuff entirely, it was way too far ahead of its time. People just weren't going to pay 3k for a sofa they saw on a dial up connection...

I got pretty lucky when I started in adult, between Nick and Tommy yelling at me with their funny accents all the time about how bad my sites were, how pretty they were, how they made the surfer want to stay instead of clicking on a sponsor link, how I was never going to make it in this business, you name it... it really taught me that it takes a tough skin to manage with this crowd.

:okthumb:

Shit, I just backdated myself on GFY.

I started back in December 98. That's pretty close to 7 years, huh?

:)

Well , nevermind , there's always this year....



;-)))

I was just logging thru some IRC logs to see if I could date it precisely...I know it was sometime in the second half of 98 that I first got involved.

Interesting tho...I did find some aLove logs. ;)

I put up my first site in Sept. 95! Holy shit....have I been doing this for almost ten years? <crying>

Still selling panties? ;-)

No panties and no enema videos! lol

The end of an era.

My attorney made me stop selling them back in 99 or so :(

No shit?

No shit? [/b][/quote]
I'm still laughing at myself.

No shit? [/b][/quote]
LMAO!!!

You said dork.

I see how you are conducting yourself! The next thing you know, you'll be talking politics or religion with me. ;)

Israel and Palestinians declare cease-fire. Again.

enemarotica?

i think that timetables get messed up. people correlate webmaster boards with the industry.. which is n ot one to one, so we end up with mismatched dates.

I registered my first adult domain, whosyourdaddy.com, in march of 1996. i lost that one when i accidently let it expire (irony there is palpable). But before that i had dabbled in adult through other hosting companies, using subdomains, and ~ acounts.

previously, i had dealt in online tgraffic only in mainstream, through the commonwealth network, and did HTML work and Design on the side, as well as scripting. This is while i was in college, so id place my first income solely from the internet at somewhere around the beginning of 1995, meaning that i have passed 10 years and now feel terribly old:)

50 thousand stories?

Thats like 50 eggs.

I wrote a piece of Hit Bot code in 1999 as a proof of concept. I saw people releasing them, and all they did was directly get a URL and sent no headers etc. Very easy to detect.

The one i made sent full HTTP headers, with referrer and useragent, and also grabbed images that were on the page etc, to make the server logs look real :)

It was very basic and shitty, and just really designed to make people think more and be more inventive with stuff they coded like that.

A friend of mine put it on his webpage for download, and it ended up on big security portal/tool sites. A guy in Oz found it and sent me a mail asking if i'd like to work on some porn projects with him.

It's still online at its original home aswell :) http://www.ccitt5.net/archives/gma-click.c.gz

I didn't use it for any sneaky purposes!

thats funny
grimm, that piece of history is in good hands

commonwealth network, i used them as well.
i couldnt get enough page views in nonadult, had to put em on a pornsite to finally get paid

i lost track of who had it. you know slav?;)

we were doing clipart sites.. averaging 150-200 page views per visitor at times. commonwealth's only problem is they paid 90 days after cycle.
