This was around 2001. I did not speak to anyone else in the adult business and didn't even know GFY existed. I promoted webcams and made a ton of money in the process. One day I saw the TGP for sale on eBay and purchased it. It was promoted as having xx thousand views per day with millions of gallery views (they submitted galleries as well). I was converting about 1 in 40 on raw hits to my pages (1 in 12 or less to sponsor) and was already counting the millions I would make with all of those views. I submitted galleries for a couple of weeks and got over a million views to galleries. Problem was they converted 1:200 to sponsor but 1:12,000 or so raw hits to my pages. I was working more to submit galleries than I ever had to work on cams and making much less money for the effort. I got a $1000 hosting bill in and deleted everything from my server.

See above. It wasn't just a TGP, I submitted galleries along with it to get to $6,000 per month (old owner was making like $800 per month

) but I didn't really think it was worth shit. I had just purchased it on eBay and didn't know GFY existed.
