So tell me about this person because I am curious.

I wouldn't be surprised, I'm sure those who were really well known had behind-the-scenes deals that would've been in that range. Industry nobodies who were just post whores were making $1000+ and even guys with a few hundred posts could make an extra $300.

I remember Lensman and Adult.com were paying something like 25 cents a post instead of a flat rate. Companies like Adult.com, TCG and Quickbuck were spending 10s of thousands a month on sigs. It didn't last long but what a wild time it was!

Some people were boosting up to 15k deals.

How much they were actually paid is a different question, but the larger the official sum the better both for the poster and the affiliate program. Makes the poster look like a baller and the affiliate program comes off as stacked and successful.

Win win!

Does anyone here remember Mediaguy? He was a good guy who worked for me. Very likeable, very smart... he had a crazy-bad problem with alcohol as those who know him would confirm. He did not pass away, but he went broke and homeless back in 2014 and is still homeless today, 10 years later. It's incredibly sad. I want to hope that one day he will pull himself back up but after 10 years, I don't think he will.

I was thinking of him but couldn't remember his name, that guy I met in Miami and seemed off his rocker, then couple years later heard he killed himself. Sucks what he did to you and the others, but he never seemed like a trustworthy type of guy. You seem like you have good judgement Fuze, why'd you let your guard down???

This is so wild to me. I remember Greg from a few parties and his participation here. Like you said, very likeable and lots of fun. Years went by and I completely forgot about him until I was watching the news one day and there was a piece about homeless people (I think specifically how they had trouble finding places that would accept pets) and one of the guys they spoke with was Greg. Sad to hear he's still on the streets :(

Alive and well, and banned as fuck here. I've asked Tasty1 if he can be unbanned, but Tasty couldn't even be courteous enough to respond.

We haven't focused on that site in some time. All the email that comes to my orgasm.com email address is all spam . I was shocked to see someone mentioning that email address.

He is fine, and still banned as far as I knew as of like 2 weeks ago.

Some of the original ICS employees/Playboy are still here. (worked inhouse with Lensman and Eric, adult.com)
Me, Shelly R, Ramos and Rochard
I saw Eric Mathis in LA 2 years ago, doing very well.

Some of us are still involved, speaking at seminars..

12clicks 07-05-2024 09:04 AM

Joe E is gone.
Great guy.


I'm more interested in the guys who were basically a flash in the pan and on their way out the door explained how the smart money was getting out. 20 years later we know it was the dumb money who was forced out.

I have helped out a bunch of people in my life that always end up fucking me. It's a pattern, I probably have savior complex or something.

BigD had just taken a full time job with a good friend of mine (Makingcoin) so I figured it was a safe bet as I knew his employer. When I learned that he'd stopped working things got bad...

I didn't think he'd turn the condo into a meth den for randos.

This sounds familiar. Was this the condo in Las Vegas, we drove over there after dinner one night because the person living there hadn't paid you in a couple of months? Or was that a different guy?

There isn't a majority of admins who supports an unban cause of something that happened.

Ahh shit, ok that sucks man, very disrespectful :( He was fun to hangout with but I didn't know anything more of him than that, just getting fucked up and shootin' the shit. Sucks you got fucked over after being so generous, seems like that's how it always happens though, ugh :Oh crap

He posted that because J Falcon was running his idiot mouth about Baddog being banned everywhere. So Baddog proved that he wasn't banned there, and made J Falcon look like an imbecile. Again.

Aly D, Raven, Bestat, Scott Rabinowitz (Traffic Dude), Gord, Billy (Worked for a registrar, forget which one), Darin Babin (SE Guru), Gary Allen and John V, Todd (Webinc) were all around that same time too i think?

Tina Ballina died in a rock climbing incident if I recall.

Mayya,

What's the goal of this histrory thread? I ask because some users only post when vet users pass. Why not join together and revive this forum with new dev. :)
