Intresting, I personally do not spend enough time overthere to understand all the dynamics.
How did you start BP4L? Was it an idea you had that you implemented? OR was it something that started as a fluke, caught on and you ran with?

Intrestiong... I thought you knew the story how it really started??
Back in i think 98 it kind of started.. As you know I was and am a TGPer..
Back then we had some good sites with good conversions.. There werent many message boards and us tgpers stuck together.. This was before the sleazydream days even..
I made a lot of my cash simply by webmaster refereals.. Topbucks, (then it was called topcash) amateurpages, SIC, all those programs did kick ass in early 2000 and late 90's.. I myself could make about 8k a month off hardly any traffic back then.. You were around in 99 so you know this is true..
Well tgp people know other tgp people.. We had to in order to set up trades and shit.. Well I made most my money refereing webmasters to affilate programs.. I got a reputation for it.. It was as if I was the socaial pipline at one time to them.. ID go to shows and sponsors would joke, hey BP, intduce me to your "FAMILY" kinda like the old drug family netowrks of yesterday, they were here in adult early on..
So I did. Id refererr family.. Big tgp guys.. Old owners of big sites.. I was making about 20k a month for a few years I think it was just off refereals..
Shit some of these sites only paid me 1 penny per every click my referal would send.. Topcash alone I would make about 8k amonth off pennies!!
Thats a lot of pennies!!
So thats how it all started. Before it was a network of sites.. Friends. Traffic.. A "Family" it started from there.. After about 2000 or so it started to die down.. FOr everyone.. The money got less and the gold rush was over.. But i still had a reputation.. And then GFY was invented..
I still had this pull, this aura about me back then, and lens knew it.. Made me moderator.. Then reality started to become fantasy.. Everyone, even if you didnt make money wanted to be family.. I let em in..
Going to the wemasetershows, it just spunout of contorl.. and i went with it..
The dynamic of whoring was created.. Evolved.. Now it was just purely marketing.. In 01-02 I made less money in the biz than ever before.. But everyone fucking knew me..
in 03 I made a big come back biz wise .. And now here we are in 04.. Just relaxing..
There is a lot lot lot more inbetween but thats the jist of it.
