    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.

          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. ; )

                        huh?

                        why would you walk away from the easiest job in the world when there's still millions more to be made?

                        I can't code, I can't design, I can't sell, hell, I can't even spell. yet here I am.

                                              Ditto what Nick said, Catman!!! This thread is really bringing out the old guard.

                                                            Like a cat you once fed, you'll never get rid of me. : ))

                                                            GREAT to see everyone man. Hope you all are doing well.

                                                            Ya know I'm having a great sign up day. (for a fricken change) including two sups from a sponsor who never got any before.

                                                            Things still sell and are selling better and better as time goes on and the economy improves.

                                                            or.. maybe it's just that, you bring these old school guys and girls around to a central location and money just appears. : )

Find guys who sell and promote them. Lots of work tho and prob never make the $$$ a good paysite makes. But the lifestyle is fantastic. No other biz has less hassle.

                                                                              We "lone wolf affiliates" from the 90's with no paysites usually have a couple good domains.

                                                                              True story I gotta tell.. July 4, 2003 I was watching E! and seen this girl Paris Hilton. hmm she looked pretty fine. I go to whois. The only domains registered to her were parishilton.com and maybe .net

                                                                              I think what the hell. I buy a couple including parishiltonnude.com

                                                                              Guy almost immediately emails me and buys it for $1000. It has since been resold I think. I missed the parishiltonvideo domains though. Didn't know. Could of had any of em though. Shows ya, anytime, money may be just waiting for you.

                                                                              "I shiver but I love this game"

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.
