Maybe some of us low posters have a similar story-

I started 13 years ago right before Crescent blew up and I knew it was the right industry for me. Not an old timer though. in 2k, i'm probably the 3rd wave in.


Quick funny story.

One of the first guys i talked to, must have been 2000-early 1, was Amar who was then at Sublime.

Guys like quiet and Steve Sweet and Real Butts ( Nasty Dollars ) just ruled Sublime. So i bought some spots and the return was awesome. So i called to find out why their traffic was so good. And Amar said, listen, we have home grown traffic, everyone else jerks you around but not us. Our traffic is homegrown.

And i was like, oh yeah homegrown traffic.. but really thinking WTF is homegrown traffic?? He schooled me fast.

And i remember hanging up calling someone at the time saying, oh hey.. we need more homegrown traffic, let me tell you about it...

The discovery process back then was amazing. You saw something and just did it. i saw the sweetloads plug-in page in bustyamateur's library one day and the next day i was in Cybererotica's.


Fun times from a "little" poster

It's fun to remember... but the old days are just that. Old. These days are where it's at.
Not necessarily, it replaced the water cooler for me. And TCG basically paid me on avg $500 a month for 5 yrs to do what I normally did. It was like getting paid to hang out with your friends.
