      You are amazing, one of the first and only sites I had ever been too and still around that I remember. You have done a great job at branding your site and keeping it going. Keep up the good work.

        p.s. Never heard a bad thing about you from Jim Henley..... he rocks..... we met in Vegas last year and are finally getting some business together.... nothing but respect for him, and if Jim says you are a good guy in his books.... you are a good guy in my books without question, I trust Jim

            I have been in this biz for over 9 Years. WOW. That is crazy.
            I never had a job that lasted over a year.
            Never took time off either. The most maybe 3-5 days.

            All you guys that have been in this Biz for the long haul. Would have have ever imagined?

            Sorry, had to speak my mind. That's a long time.

            I have known most of you longer then most of my closest friends.

            Thanks for your loyalty and we hope to keep making you guys money for another 9 years.
            I know how ya feel Dave.. May 12th will be the big 10 since I opened my 1st paysite, taking credit card orders and processing them by hand..

            Congrats on the big 9..

                                I remember making my first money thinking how this was never going to last. All the time people are saying its going to end and yet it keeps going.

                                First of all I would have never imagined to end up in the "porn biz" more less make a career out of it.
                                I was going to say strangers things have happend. But I would be lying.
                                I hear ya buddy.

                                    He was a good friend of mine - we abused that host terribly, I feel so bad now when I think about it - but we did make a few dollars together

                                            But we have sent out hundreds of thousands of dollars from fuckups only because we had to.

                                                    I am coming up on 6 years myself...
                                                    I started out with a silly idea for a summer project.. never thought i would go this long.
                                                    That's how it usually starts. Congrats.

                                                        Starting my 7th year, we were just here the other day talking about the changes that have happened over the years and how we got into this and how many sponsors have come and gone ... amazing business this is. I would never be able to go back to a manistream job now, got to stop taking this job for granted

                                                          I have been in this biz for over 9 Years. WOW. That is crazy.
                                                          I never had a job that lasted over a year.
                                                          Never took time off either. The most maybe 3-5 days.

                                                          All you guys that have been in this Biz for the long haul. Would have have ever imagined?

                                                          Sorry, had to speak my mind. That's a long time.

                                                          I have known most of you longer then most of my closest friends.

                                                          Thanks for your loyalty and we hope to keep making you guys money for another 9 years.

                                                          I moved alot of my first avs sites over to you guys when you first started as agecheck I was with Adultcheck back in 1996. Eventually I started my own AVS in 1999, the rest as they say is history It is really amazing how much time has flown by.

                                                          I always wondered what happened to Paul Bakir from Adultcheck, does he still own it?

                                                          Don't reply. Let it die.

                                                              I've just clocked up 4 years. When I first started everybody was saying that the glory days were over, however, I've pulled a very comfortable income since the day that I started. The industry has changed but I think it's still possible to start today and make good coin.

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

When I first started everybody was saying that the glory days were over, however, I've pulled a very comfortable income since the day that I started. The industry has changed but I think it's still possible to start today and make good coin.
                                                                        If I sold out or stopped working when everyone was telling me this stuff was coming to an end, I would have regreted it big time. You have to be in this biz for the long haul. Just fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride.

                                                                                        Congrats, you started at a great age. I believe in that same saying and I tell everyone that all the time. Get rid of negativity and just thing positive.

I always told him you don't have to go to school that between my brother and I we will come up with something. He use to talk highly about my friends that they make 30 grand a year.

                                                                                          He hasn't said a word in years, he put his foot so far down his mouth. But I guess he was just looking out for us.

I have seen people invest millons and when they don't do good in one year, they are out. Shit, I went on for over 2 years without making a profit but never gave up.

                                                                                                5 years is a long time too. You'll see. Soon you will be mentioning that its been 10 years. lol

                                                                                                    I have been at it over 10 years now. Since March'ish 1994. :-)

                                                                                                    We should all throw a decaders party or something sometime. Keepin it oldskool. Who knows, maybe pull out some giffy girl printouts in ascii art. LOL

It made me realize just how far the industry has come... they have awards for this now? I was trippin when it dawned on me that I never thought I would be in porn or where I am today.

                                                                                                    Congrats to all!
