Many years ago, I saw him on Facebook using his real name. If I recall correctly, he was doing humanitarian stuff (I think) in LA. That was many years ago. If someone knows his real name, maybe they can shine some light on this.

He was a cool dude. He would go out of his way to help if you asked.

Whatever happened to Juicy and who was behind Achmed?. Achmed's shit was hilarious. He still owes me some 'stuff'

Back in the day, it was’t a party until juicy and mr izz showed up. Mr izz got married, and juicy was never the same.
When too much John threw a party, and juicy was there, you knew it was going late. This was the best of times.

Regarding my thread: 140 Female Pornstars that have died...

Perhaps someone could put one together for all the GFY 'Fam' that are no longer with us? I was thinking that from reading this thread...

Wouldn't have to use real pics of or names of course - Just GFY avatars & GFY nics as its for GFY, but some similar details to the vid above - Year they died, reason, what they were known for, sites they ran etc... ?

I wouldn't have enough knowledge to put something together that's complete enough to be 'offered up' but its a thought for someone perhaps, if they are feeling bored one afternoon - Just a thought

What if that person Pirated a lot from people with his billing company, gave no shits with his "apology" which felt Autoblogged at best, and just said Chio and left? Oops, sorry, Ciao.

Too varied to call it...

I was on the fringes of the biz in the late 70s, shot and sold my first porn movie in 84, and despite officially 'retiring' in 2013, (No longer creating new content) I still have content I uploaded years ago to clips4sale, still bringing me in a little money here and there...

Others come in, find they cant make a fortune overnight, and are gone within a few weeks...

Like I said, too varied to call...

I am retired now. I was only 10 years in the business from 2004 to 2014. The best years for me were 2006 to 2009.

One summer around '80 I worked as a gofer for Screw and Al G. But it was 25 years b4 I made content.

Wish i still had my Screw t-shirt.

I loved Screw in the 90's. It was like missives from another world when I was living in Maryland publishing counterculture erotica magazines Blue Blood. David Aaron Clark was really kind to us. Not a GFYer but RIP.

He attended many GFY gatherings.

Recently with a few other "older" webmasters he was on a podcast reliving the history of online adult industry.

How many other places have gone by the wayside?

GONE:
PornResource
iBill
CozyFrog

DEAD:
Paul Markham: Photographer, probably one of the best ever (Heart Failure, cancer)
David Lace: Photographer, one of the largest ever collections (Heart attack)
JFPDude: Content guy, photographer (Drug Overdose)
Turboface: Traffic, scammer (Patrick Tither, suicide)
TurboAngel: Traffic, scammer (Last information was rehab, then silence)
LowKeyTx: Photographer, arrested for child p***, (James Greuel, Cancer)
GraphicsByTia: Graphics, Banners, Buttons (Suicide)

So many webmasters have died from this forum that actually helped shape the adult industry, it is now a skeleton of what it once was.

Looking at PRE 2005 webmasters, how many are actually left here on GFY?

Boneprone
Lensman
SexToyKing

anyone else left?

This place was an entertaining and educational place full of interesting characters. Its sad to hear of how many have died but I guess that is life. Glad to see a number still around though! Whatever happened to Jay? I can't remember his username but lots of crazy stories about the guy.

my stupid little life

(american beauty reference). Anyhoo, people have been asking me for around 7
years to drop the story on my biz. Here it is. It will probably bore the fuck
out of most of you, so feel free to skip:

1996, i am taking a cyberphilosophy course at the university of alberta (i
think it was numbered 365). We did a bunch of things, but one of the things i
took away from it was that this internet thing could make money. Before i'd
finished uni (major in genetics, minor in philosophy), i had a couple of
accounts/pages set up with several adult verification services (adultcheck was
the one that really got me going). So my parents are stoked that i'm making
money, as i'd been a starving student since i started university. Gf at the
time was stoked too. Though i did get both mine and my gf (at the time's)
university accounts shut down for excessive usage lol.

Around a year later, i started a small (read: Shitty) paysite, using interbill
as the processor. I don't think many people remember interbill, but anyway,
they were super sketchy.

1997, i'm making around 4500 bucks a month, then, interbill stops paying me,
and i am freaking the fuck out. In the end, they do actually pony up the amount
owed (six months later) but by then i am with ibill, and was just barely able
to cover the rent.

How was i getting traffic at this point? Spamming the seach engines of course.
It was easy as fuck to get a reasonable amount of traffic. Infoseek? Altavista?
Yep. Load a page full of keywords, upload, and you were good to go. Rinse and
repeat.

1998, by now, i have an okay income, around 8k a month, life is good for a 24
year old guy straight out of uni. Hooked up with a new gf, and using the money
i'd save up (around 10k or so), we built a new paysite, and i dropped the 10k
on a search engine called goto.com (it's called overture now) for advertising.
They were the first (i believe) search engine to offer paid listings. Anyway,
it was a complete and utter failure lol.

Girl leaves me, and things kind of go sour. My income drops to 4k a month, i am
seriously considering going back to uni to do a masters, or possibly a trade
school (my dad runs a small electrical company).

Then: Someone (whoever you are, thank-you) submits one of my random spam
galleries to the hun. Bam. My piddily little virtual account could not handle
the traffic (obviously), and i was super pissed. But then the sun came up over
the horizon. This could actually be a good thing. I knew that night, that i
would become a multi-millionaire. Of course, no one i knew believed me lol. I
remember telling my dad and my best friend exactly that right after the hun
listing, and they thought i was crazy. I totally understand why though. Because
it sounded crazy.

1999, i am making a solid 20k a month. Pretty happy with everything. Enter
davidd, formally of candid hosting. Gave some great technical advice and super
helpful 24 hrs a day. This is the point where i am adding server after server
because the demand for my new, high quality (for the time) paysite and
especially the endless galleries is going insane.

2000, i start shooting all exclusive video content (not personally lol).
Redesigned the site (you know what, i have almost told no one this, but i have
designed ever reiteration of ultrawiredsex.com myself lol, straight up html by
yours truly), and hired a team, an actual team of people, to do nothing but
submit to tgps, to buy spots on tgps and build galleries. We worked 100 hours a
week, but i paid my employees well. Scaled the fuck out of tgp submission. I
also bought all of the top hun listings. They were a bit of a pain in the ass
some times, but i got every available listing.

2001, just cranking the submissions, making 350k a month, after expenses.
Getting the video on every tgp on the planet. Nice office in banff, canada,
with 6 people working around the clock.

2002, i *think* this is about the time mark (gts) came into the picture. We
cranked their paid submissions about as hard as you can crank anything. Money.

2003, not much changed.

2004, ibill goes tits up. I was lucky, and got paid far longer than a lot of
other guys. I got paid consisistently until april 2005. They still owe me
around a quarter million dollars though. Don't think i'll ever see it lol.

2005, retired.

What i did i learn from all of this? Scale. If you have something, anything,
that works, scale that cocksucker up to as high as it will go.

Ps: Take a flight on the concorde ;)

cheers boys and girls.
