nice post :)

Great story and great story telling. Nice job.

You was my inspiration...I never broke the 40k/month barrier...but I never had employees and couldn't(or didn't want to) work more than a few hours each week. That was my problem.

I have a question on you. Did you ever try different pricing options than $20+-/month? More or less, if it was better sales and rebill-wise?

didn't you just get one of your fingers bit off at a protest rally? how are you typing so much with an injury like that? medicaid must be good to you.

Were you using videos before Ken?

They treat him like royalty at the local VA hospital, he tells them all kinds of pathfinder war hero stories.

Don't worry, lots of successful experienced adult webmasters have hundreds of sites and no backups and get hacked losing everything in the process.

Nice inspirational post man, thanks.

you from Banff?
I spent there almost a week exactly one year ago. such small touristic city that i would never thought that some adult webmasters could even live there.

I had and have backups...thank you very much...but many...if not most...are in php and used SQL...so I have decided not to bother with putting them back up as I assume that they would be hacked again...you are now dismissed.

nice to hear about your successes, you are an inspiration :)

Pathfinder dude wtf?:STFU

quiet is my hero.

wow thats a motivator for sure

I have no idea what you're talking about. :2 cents:

By the way...funny side subject....JFPDUDE (the guy who died, mark or whatever) once told me, that "quiet" was really bill gates....ROFL, the funny thing is...he was being totally serious. RIP MARK.

straight baller.

props.

Nice thread :)

Too bad theking had to ruin it over a stupid misunderstanding of terminology.

semantic fagz

quiet - i was wondering, what ever happened with your GST issue?

I remember something about they seized money and you hired a lawyer to get it back that took a percentage or something - i even followed some some of it legally though my lawyer but I never bothered to check into what the result was on your problem there?

that's if you want to talk about it - if not then cheers !

Who/Or what is GST?

goods and services tax people have to pay here in Canada on everything sold.

he had a problem cause the gov't wanted to tax him on all sales, not just the Canadian ones. it's 7% of gross sales. Big legal battle - I got involved too separately as they went after me as well, then it stopped for me cause i had a US company and was structured so I paid from it so there was no Canadian sales from a Canadian company and they investigated that too cause if it's done to avoid paying tax it can be illegal but my loophole was there is no Canadian bank that will process for adult at the time - soon as they found out that was real for me they gave up on that. I remember telling the investigator that if he found me a Canadain bank that would accept CCs for adult I'd use it and he could tax me - they gave up on that point as that was real... not sure but quiet's situation was a little different we looked into it a lot at the time but it wasn't resolved last I looked (years ago).

GST = Goods and Services Tax

A Canadian Federal Tax

Mirrors?

So is UWS offline now? Has that been the case since you retired in 2005?

Great story, inspirational.

do you have a new girlfriend or something? your posts these days have been really pleasent :)

impressive :thumbsup

Interesting read man

Nice story.. too bad I never though about buying hun spots way back in the day

In 97 all you had to do is.

Own Altavista with every possible keywords you could think off (oh yeah Infoseek and hotbot too) and get and account at Xpics. That's it



fuck........................

no real impulse, ibill died, and my site with it. i'd already made more than enough, now i'm just involved in wealth preservation, and having fun.

i'll try to get back to most of these questions later tonight, heading out to dinner :glugglug

no way... I don't contribute around here on a daily basis anymore, but if anything, Sly has become wiser with age, even though he still is a young one like me :-)

:thumbsupgood read man

Other then paid spots.. did you guys use proxies since you were submitting a shit load of galleries day? I know I did that in the past :p

around 6600 a month. maybe a little more. so around 220 a day? i think it was actually more than that at the peak, maybe more like 240? we made a ton of money via rebills too, so not sure (i can find out if you really want to know).

you have to understand that i never had a single affiliate the entire decade i was in adult. that was the beauty of it all. you have to also understand, that i never once used a trial, or any other bullshit. just your straight up, 30 day membership.

chill dude, he's just fucking around. jimmy's an alright guy (from what i can tell) lol.

I know your business model, I was around then.

Holy fucking shit.

Thanks...(I think.)

I would say that puts you in the top ten sites for the time period. I had no idea. I mean everybody figured out you were huge when whatever douche posted a link to your MRTG, but I had NO idea.

Seriously, when you are moving stuff around the house and you have to shuffle a bunch of garbage bags full of cash out of the way...is it ever a hassle?

yeah, i still have traffic, but that's not from the paysite, long gone. i just have tons of old pages and links that i now send out to a couple programs.

shut down the site in i guess it was may of 2005.

you know what it stands for: the gerbil project :glugglug

you are talking to pathfinder. please leave logic at the door.

hehe, doing most of what you listed. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and i'm really hoping for number 8 lol.

i hear you. i just enjoy other things than working. i travel the world, snowboard all winter, downhill bike all summer, enjoy my sports car, read a ton of books, enjoy concerts, the odd uni course. just don't feel the need to 'work'. but totally get where you are coming from.

thanks man, ever hit was always much appreciated :glugglug

this is the only post in this entire thread, that has me a little pissed.

the ENTIRE REASON my site was as successful as it was, was because i never fucked over a single person, ever. Please, someone, anyone, tell us about how i fucked up anyone in any way, or was mr sleazy bags. retarded post.

dude. of course. that shit is mandatory next time i am up (should be this fall). you will have to possibly deal with some of my annoying french friends though ;)

back at you :glugglug
