A newbie, Im still trying to learn everything I can!

Since may 2002..wow

Well thank you for that

25+ (I started in the early 80s)

I've written a post with my story about how I started in adult here in the last few months, but naturally, the GFY search doesn't want to let me find it...

In the late 1980's. And then full time online adult in 1996.

And when we started our own content company Pure Candy Images in 1998, Max Candy was setting the bar for quality.
Max was the guy we wanted to be like!

My partner AL4A and I looked at your work as the inspiration (though I never was able to match it).

1996 or 1997 or so....

I came across a picture of three USC cheerleaders I liked on a website called "Cheer Fan" or some such nonsense. I used this picture as my wallpaper. I dropped the webmaster an email asking if he more photos of USC cheerleaders and mentioned I wish I could make my own webpage. Much to my surprise he replied to me and said "why don't you learn how to make web pages?". Via email he told me what software I needed and what I needed to do to make it happen. Twenty-four hours later I had a website up online on my PC he could see.

That "webmaster" was in fact Steve Lightspeed.

Over the next two years I created dozens of girly sites and started making money with affiliate links while Steve was running Lightspeed University. I opened up my first solo girl site while I was going to college, shooting my own content and all.

Eventually I went to work for Steve.

You are too kind thanks

Legally I started end of May 2003. Non-legally 1998.

I haven't really ran anything adult since going full mainstream in 2012 though I have boughten domains and attempted ideas, but usually got bored and ditched them.

I started jerking off about 30 years ago, does that count?

I think it's been 12 years now :upsidedow

I ran bbs boards 20 years ago which led to becoming an affiliate. Then I started my own stuff in the late oughts

My very first free site, I was a minor in 99. I didnt get really into it until 06 tho. Quit 100% last year. All mainstream now.

1993 began publishing a magazine. 1995 I had my first site and in 1997-1998 I went with thirty more sites.

1999 players.

Really? how different is it compared to adult? Or is it just same thing different product basically.

2001 started and quit my job of 12 years in 2002.

I believe 2003

Started at age 22 and now i'm 36.
Great Fucking 14 years...

not long, Part time

1997 started Hornybitches.com
1998 started NETbilling

1999 here.

Hope you're keeping well Max :thumbsup

AL4A......God damn that's a throwback/Atlanta 99 I believe we met?

I started in 1966, so you're all newbies to me. LOL

I was at that show...so yeah, could be that's when we met.

Since 1997. Remained active throughout the years. Don't see many names I recognize on GFY...and my nick has changed. Boneprone.. if you are still out there, we've dined on lobster and wine at one of many top affiliate appreciation trips.

1993 - took a job as video editor for Canada's largest adult video distributor based just outside Toronto.

June/'99 - launched our first paysite KastleArchives.com and followed it with two more a few years later.

2001, but i do other things now. I do own a Playboy from the month I was born

its been 8-9 years and maybe more :pimp

Back in the Wildcat BBS days. I ran the biggest porn BBS in NEPA.

10+ years:thumbsup

What happened to Steve?

Started in 2002 :thumbsup

Could I request to get my previous post removed now that pml's posts are gone?.. :upsidedow

6 years xx

Depends on what exactly you're doing in mainstream. I can't speak for Dead Eye, but I do SaaS products so it's a little like adult in the sense that you can't see anything unless you pay first.

I keep on beginning . . .

2019 - 1966 = 53 years!! Damn!

In other words, Paul's porn was what most of your daddies were thinking about when they made you. Which explains a lot.

I started in 2009 as a partner in a cam studio business! In 2010 I started my first cam related site!

Hi Max :thumbsup I have drifted from mainstream moviemaking to soft adult ( lesbian) about 20 years ago with the demise of VHS market. It become obvious that shooting 10 minute lesbian scene was a lot cheaper then shooting one monute action scene. Since then I have never looked back, albeit now I make "harder" lesbian conent :2 cents:

14 years so far. I launched my paysite because I couldn't find any sites that were exactly how I wanted them to be, other than just a few of them. I wanted REAL amateur girls, and not small and blurry submitted pictures, but high-resolution pictures, so I shot my own.

The money started rolling in, and to this day, the site is very successful with sales flowing in day and night. That was one of the main reasons why I started. And of course, I enjoy shooting naked girls, as well as the money too. :thumbsup

Started 2004 with free non nude teenporn sites promoting girls like Jordan Capri and Kate's Playground.. Then was absent for around 6 years from 2012.

The title of the poll and poll question makes no sense! When you do start and how many years are totally different. I started way back in 2005.. did it for 5 years.. quit and went mainstream and now thinking of coming back in.

I agree with you

long time ago. when the hun coached me on building galleries LOL when cizero was still alive the comusthumbs guy his pilot script was ghost driver or something it was $25 now how did i remember that shit?? GhostDriver TGP PHP Script
