I'm gonna take a stab at some of these. I was around in 96 but it's tough to remember and sometimes it's just who I saw first.

Launch an adult TOPLIST?

The first top lists I saw were YNOT and Cliffie.


Launch an adult TGP?

The Hun.


Launch a public pay-per-click affiliate program?

Amateur Hardcore was the first I saw but I know others where there.


Launch a public pay-per-signup affiliate program?

Launch a public pay-per-raw affilliate program?

Launch a public partnership/profit sharing program?

Cyberotica was the first I recall seeing doing anything but pay per click. Per sign and revshare I first saw with them.


Launch an adult site counter?

Wasn't that the Jonathen guy with XXX Counter or something like that?


Be publicly accused of cheating webmasters?

I think probably Seth of Club Love with his IEG program.


Organize an adult internet convention?

IA 2000 was the show for Audiotext (900 #s) and the big audiotext guys started doing adult which led to the crossover and us Internet guys going to their show. I still remember some AT guys being pissed at Internet people coming to their show.



Offer an adult banner exchange?

The guy who had Adult Oriented Site of the Day started stuff like this from what I remember.


Start a single-girl site?

First ones I saw were Carol Cox and Janey.


Cater to/Specialize in adult web design?

When I launched my design company there were a few others, most notably Mike Wylde. He was among the very first I think.


Offer plug-in content (of any kind) to webmasters?

Python was among the first. I remember speaking to David Vanderpool when it was just an idea he had.


Start a webmaster resource site?

YNOT under the ownership of Kid Slick (Rick).


Start at webmaster forum/BBS?

Again YNOT.


Bounce an affiliate check?

I've got a 3 cent check from IEG that bounced. WHat's sadder is we put a 3 cent check in the deposit bin!


Offer to pay webmasters over $50 for a signup?

I remember all the wild numbers popping up. The highest ones I remember seeing early where when ARS jumped on but I know there were others. The big question is what is your check at the end of the month? Who cares how much it is per sign. I wanna know how much I make per month with someone.


Use pop-UP exit consoles?

Robin Nixon started the ABC dealio. That was the first I knew.


Start a snail-mailed magazine or newsletter for the adult industry?

AVN or the IA2000 one maybe.


Offer 3rd party processing for adult webmasters?

Wasn't DMR the first? Also known as Web800.


Offer legal services for adult webmasters?

There were lawyers working when UAS started but it was the first organization trying to offer generalized legal stuff for everyone that I know of.
