Your question could be taken different ways by different people, but I am going to take it as if I could make as much now if I started again.
the answer is no way. lots of reasons why, main ones are advertising methods. when I started I had no money, I knew nothing and I knew no one, I knew of no forums where you could go and get help, all my scripts I had to have custom made for me and so on.

The advertising methods that were once there are no longer, Usenet, once a good source for traffic are now almost worthless, IRC, now just wannabe hackers, free sites who had great traffic and who ran their sites because they wanted to - gone or went pay. One great source of traffic, someone whose traffic helped allot of the old cam sites is a member of this board (5i's or 3i's, been a long time) He was awsome, had a great msg board. But for me, running a pay site, I could get it started again, but not to the level it is now.
