Never saw Karas as a free site, i always remembered it as a paysite before they figured out how to register domains it was at rjbtelecom.com/karas.

I wasn't around for this one either. I too only knew Kara's as a paysite. Seems it was a freesite before that run by RB and Bob and Bob posted to surfers on the site as Kara and they ate it up!

Their affiliate program amounted to two banners (ever!!) and a cheap piece of trash stats program that was a dropdown that you could never see a period, only one day at a time. That was it! They were still worth a few billion at the time and the best they could do was toss $50 for their entire "affiliate" program. Think that first version of theirs lasted a year and a half.

LOL! I remember that too! I had up a weekly freesite, 10 new pics each week, and was using content I swiped off UseNet. Then I met Meat as a newbie who gave me this 30 minute ICQ lecture about how The Sheriff and his Posse from APIC would run around killing sites and having webmasters arrested and sued. He did a great job of scaring me shitless. So I said how do I get content if I can't afford to buy it? So I did what he said and posted on the private Netpond board about needing 10 pics in 10 categories in exchange for traffic ... That was the first time we met, virtually, Slav.
