Whooaaa hold on a second, you mean he tried to turn a profit ? how dare he?
"In 2001, the company began offering "lifetime" memberships for $69 and $99 US. This membership included a few features not available to ordinary free members, including the ability to view up to 15 cams, read profiles, and to make a chat room, among others. Seemed like a great deal. But as soon became apparent, the offer was a ruse to raise cash for David's pockets, under the guise of raising capitol for new hardware and other equipment. "
Wow He offered a lifetime membership (with nice features that you pointed out). Whats the big deal people got a great deal for lifetime access. And what he did with the money, whether it was to snort coke or buy new equipment what the hell is it any of your business ?
more insaine comments from your "site"
" Throughout its existence on the WWW, AWC has relied on different type of promotion to draw new visitors to the site. As most people know, word of mouth is a powerful thing when trying to attract new clients. Up until late in Version 2 of the site, word of mouth, as well as well placed meta tags in its pages were about the only promotion for the site. Then, when the first lifetime offer was made, and the folks in the office in Australia saw the amount of money that could be made, a light bulb went off in their heads. I think the lure of easy money got the best of them.
The affiliate program began in V2 in early summer of 2002. I and many others did fairly well. I know I made several hundred bucks and all I had to do was place a few hyper linked banners on my fan site. Easy money. I can only imagine the money that the site owners were making at the time.
"
LOL man you sound like a disgruntled affiliate. You go on and on how it was a great free site and these greedy bastards started charging people how dare they. How could they, what were they thinking, how dare someone try to make money????
