I was there.

were you working for streamray back then?

i started webcamming in late 1999.

No, not back then. I first sent in photos to the webmaster of Dreamnet.com for a website back in winter of 1997, but my site didn't get built and go live until Feb 1998. I was hired by Streamray in August of 2004 and it's been a wonderful journey ever since :)

1997 I started with Tom at xxxhosting.com

Sold YNOT for Rick in '99

man I am getting old...

Nice to see all the old cronies rounded up into one thread :winkwink:

Seriously,
Some of you are a great! inspiration to us "newbies"

Without you, there wouldn't a Biz to speak of :thumbsup

Started in 1996 offering merchant accounts to webmasters and shooting content

1997 does that make me old school?

1998 for me and I don't think I did biz with any of you, he he:thumbsup

*DWB steps into the line*

no but we did have a lot of fun together both here in the states and over seas

:thumbsup

My first paycheck from Adult Check was in the summer of 99. Those were the days. I had such a good time. 19 years old and making cash hand over fist while in college.

Started in 1998 with a personal AVS site

Got my online biz start in late '97 and early '98 in adult.

Went full time in 99.

amen.

(started in print in 94, first site online in 96, full time in late 98/early 99).

Serge, not all of us took the path that you did --- of course, in hindsight, we probably should have :1orglaugh

1993 here

Started in August of 1996

Started the day after thanksgiving, 1996.

Nice , thks man ;) It was a great time.We saw Prince Naseem fight I think at a golf club LOL :)

(( From 97-2002 there is a lot of times that are covered by "...I think..." ;-))

Started in 95.

I saw PKs counters clicked through her ads , assumed every surfer did and thought this is going to be easy.( So its PKs fault) :)

Had the number one Amateur site in the world in 96 ...and was earning fuck all. LOL

Then I started talking to :
stonelaw , Philip Arumbula, followed quickly by ,The General, FM, Scottpb and Serge.

The first two got me in with the right people and the last 4 schooled me in this business

Anthony and I chatted last yr in Florida and he said "Dude everything you were doing then still works."

He is right , it fucking does. :)

Serge, LOL

You have an idea how many mils I have made. And my answer is simple. I spend waaay to much and have waaay too expensive tastes. ;-)))

PLUS...seriously...this business is sooooooooooooooooo easy. Seriously.Why leave a table laden with money . :)

I did.. 1997 actually.

Thats exactly how I see it.

However, I knew a guy back in '98 (and he still posts here) who used to say "this stuff is a sinking ship, it wont last 2 years" - and 11 years later, I still laugh at his ass everytime I think about that.

I think I have said that a few times myself though.... ;-))

Fosure fosure:thumbsup

98/99 started to work for a web hosting company. The web host major clients were porn.

95/96...We started the first Real Adult Hosting, been around ever since. :thumbsup

Hey Mike, I was thinking about you just today :thumbsup

Oh? Tempted to shoot another dance party? :winkwink:

I wish!!!!!!!

I started before 2000 but unfortunately didn't have much success (I started free sites as a hobby and never learned much about marketing them at the time). Once the government killed online gambling in 05 I moved back into adult, this time with much success.

Does masturbating for the first time count as being in the business?

Masturbating is a gateway drug ;)

Oct 1996 but didn't find was it Ynot till fall 97 (it wasn't Ynot, it was before Ynot, what the hell was that first board called? Maybe it was Ynot.

anyhoo..

Hey lots of great old guys and girls. It's Catman. How goes it? I'm too old to be still doing this. haha

Why didn't I reg Catman at GFY in Oct 2002?

It was time to give the name a rest for a while. Now I wish I would of.., as you can see my days of posting have been few and far between since the 90's when all I did is post instead of spam the engines which is what I SHOULD of been doing. DaaaayyyyyMMM.

I'm still just a lone wolf affiliate. No paysites. One man band.

Ah man I could write a lot (as you know) but I'll just say hope everyone in this thread is well and doing good.
: )

Oh BTW b4 someone mentions it, yes it was 10 years ago, it was Feb 14, 1999 when Dean, Serge. and an anon sponsor sent me $52,000 for winning THE best contest EVER sponsored by Playgal for $50,000. Serge and the anon each sent me a grand just to join the fun. Yes I know the real story. I guess that makes ME the ultimate poster for profit doesn't it. : )

Ahh them were the times. The money was easy. I'd go back in an instant.

Oh oh I guess this means I'm back.

Lets show em what real piss is. The puke asses around here. haha : )

(Inside old school joke)

I love you all. Thanks for carving out the woods before me. I just followed you all for the most part and still do. ; )

Catman

and 12 year later you're still broke as a joke

lol
