    Lets share some good time stories...I'll share if you do.

    Who was the first sponsor you got your first check from?
    How much was it?
    And what year was it?

    I will start. I made my first few checks from Xpics back in 95'.
    Not much to survive on but that is when I borrowed money to Start AgeCheck. Then it took another two years to see a profit. Then we started the first free adult web hosting and everything took off from then.

    What about you?

      My first sponsor check was actually not porn related, it was web advertising affiliate programs back in 95 or 96 when i was in 9th grade

                couple hundred bucks from adult check back in late 96, along with another check from an avs called pornopass right around the same time, for around the same amount.

                                Wonder why they went out of business

                                            the first processor i used was interbill, starting in early 97. when they went under, they said they'd pay me all of my reserves in 6 months. i was so amazed, when 6 months later, they actually did!

                                            i remember these guys ran their processing on a domain 'aol2.com', i wonder what happened to that lol.

                                                                It was the logical next step from the phone sex biz.

                                                                Clay (now one of the owners of Paycom) was designing and promoting his own adult sites back then, and I asked him if he could start building sites for me that had the Virtual Dreams software available for download.

                                                                I think he charged me like $300 per site! I was selling these sites for $3500 - $7500 to my old phone sex clients and paying them $1 per minute and we were all making $$$!!!

                                                                LOL

                                                                ... and this shit was ... bleeding edge - STATE OF THE MUTHAFUCKIN' ART!



                                                                The customer would log on using 14.4 or 28.8 modems back in those days and pay something crazy like $5.99 - $7.99 per minute!

                                                                      It was the logical next step from the phone sex biz.

                                                                      Clay (now one of the owners of Paycom) was designing and promoting his own adult sites back then, and I asked him if he could start building sites for me that had the Virtual Dreams software available for download.

                                                                      I think he charged me like $300 per site! I was selling these sites for $3500 - $7500 to my old phone sex clients and paying them $1 per minute and we were all making $$$!!!

                                                                      LOL

                                                                      That's funny. Great story.
