Ask the troll to post the threads where I said it. He's twisting and lying.

I've been selling to online porn companies longer than most. A long time before I came here or opened a site. First to people with BBS sites, where the customer downloaded a code and and the converted it into a picture. Then to sites after www. came into being. The only way then to get real traffic was to spam Newsgroups. The ratios would scare people today.

1 of the companies, based in Pasadena made so much money the owner did retire with a yacht. 1 of the others, the owner made enough to get into property speculation.

The truth is few have made enough with online porn to call them self very rich. Definitely not to the level of building and owning a mansion. Comparing them with the top offline porn guys in the prime of offline porn shows that. Today few would get 10 million for their companies. AFF who were meant to be big dogs, what happened to their shares?

The sad thing is it could of been different.
