An open letter to all the idiots on GFY and B&B

As someone who was introduced to the Internet in the early 70s....

Then why did you come to see me and subject yourself and your assistant to such a failure. Who's also a person who you found terrible?

Explanations are due. Still everyone believes you.

As someone who was introduced to the Internet in the early 70s, my two brothers were both training to be programmers. In the days of machine code. I've seen the Internet grow from something that linked colleges, plus what ever Governments were doing with it, to today and it being in most Western Households and a lot more places.

From transferring at a snails pace to today's high speed connections. Obviously with the Internet being another outlet for the porn I was shooting or another way to sell the porn direct I was in online porn long before most here. For the mail order business I was a merchant able to take money with cards present or not. Mostly not. So taking orders online was easy, just needed the number and expiry date for me to fill in the form and add it to my bank deposit slips. no such thing as Epassporte and online billing then.

Selling the images we were selling to magazines, to sites was also something I did a lot of. Did open a site in the 90s and it was small beer for me, should of done more work on it. There were no affiliates, no boards and the only real place to promote were Newsgroups. No secret, I sucked at it because I was too busy shooting videos and sending them out via the post.

Yes trolls, before you knew there was a boat I missed it the first time around.

Still the good times for online porn started around 1998. Some will say a year earlier, some will say a year later. Different sides of the same coin.

The main markets were as then the US and EU. There were people in other places viewing and everyone did everything they could to monetise the traffic. Remember phone billing? Still around but not big money. The meat of the revenue was and still are countries we could bill, with a decent standard of living and always had access to porn of some sort. Maybe not ass banging teens like Max Hardcore, but they had Mayfair, Penthouse and often more.

And that's where a bulk of the market online probably came from. Not the traffic, the buyers. As the Internet grew, offline decreased. For many reasons. Availability, price, value, free, and micro niches that it simply was hardly worth launching a lot of lines.

Why buy a magazine when all the pictures any reader could ever hope for were free on The Hun? Yes some bought, 1-500 of surfers maybe. What was being spent on magazines, was being got for free on TGP sites, with a few buyers.

Remember all the people saying you're losing customers getting them off for free with hardcore images?

Then what about the people who could log into a site, download in a month, cancel and have 3-4 months of brand new porn for their enjoyment. Contrary to what some say, rarely is a site so good they have to have the very latest update on the day it comes out. They have 3-4 months worth of brand new content on their Hard Drives. Sales of HD's took off and many now employ tools like Throttlebox.

Yes brand new world for some who never knew the old world. I knew both and sad the online sector paid so much for something that's so easy to get and killed so many sales trying to get it. Still the affiliates won't like that. Not their fault, they took advantage.

Even Mike says there are many little ones who moan about their income. In offline, they have expenses and go bankrupt. The bar is set higher, so few moan, too busy making money, or were.

Would I have done anything differently given the knowledge I have today of online porn? Yes and so would most here or know they're stuck with the little they have. We would all change something. I would of sunk some money into getting my sites really going, employ someone to submit by hand to Newsgroups all day long.

Given the knowledge I had then would I of done it differently? No. As most here would say. We work with the available knowledge we have and the skills.

that's all pretty cool n' shit but face that facts: magazines are a dead

At same point in time you need to step back and say "Gee, everyone in my industry hates me" and then ask yourself why. It's not because everyone else in the industry is stupid or wrong.

I honestly believe you get to an age where you think you are right and everyone else is wrong, and you come off looking like an ass. Your at that age now. All you know is "the good old days" and that was some time ago. People are still paying big bucks for great content, but our industry has wised up and no one is going to be paying big bucks for below average content. I don't see Dean Capture looking for work.

Paul, you're a fucking loser.

Thing is, that sucks, is Eva going to work in a menial job every day. The options for this happening are:

a) they are broke
b) she can't stand being with him

There is no other possible explanation.

Fucking sad.

So since you were offline and went online. Does that mean that you're part of the 0 who were worth anything? Because that's what you did.

Who changes your diapers?

You haters are pathetic. Markham is living the life of a truly successful person. Move to Eastern Europe and get your aging mail-order bride a part-time, minimum wage job cleaning toilets.

I heard that Heffner is considering a similar move. Trump is also thinking about it.

tl;dr

You self-important old fart. Nobody cares.

blah blah blah

Melt down Markham style.

This message is hidden because Paul Markham is on your ignore list.

Why are you making reference to "the idiots on B&B" yet you fail to actually post this on B&B??

yeah put the whole board on ignore!Cool,maybe a new business model,put whole boards on ignore,only reading your idiotic rants.Imagine someone stands up to your bullshit.

Another Paul Markham success story.

All that money and can't whiten your teeth?

lol. Ok, so you made a topic about making some extra cash, and it was shot down by everybody like all of your topics. And now you say you were just trolling. Sounds believable. You are so cunning!

he is a delusional arrogant prick,guess you will be next on his ignore list,he seems to dislike people who get enough of reading his idiotic rants and stand up against him.

So many of us are on his ignore list who exactly is he talking to anymore?

he likes to read his own crap I think or maybe he suffers from:

nar·cis·sism   [nahr-suh-siz-em]
noun
1.
inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity.
2.
Psychoanalysis . erotic gratification derived from admiration of one's own physical or mental attributes, being a normal condition at the infantile level of personality development.

Gee Paul, you rewrote what I said to say something completely different and then replied to it.

I'm clearly the liar.

Everyone in this biz knows you're a clueless clown. You've failed. Your 34 years in this biz was unremarkable, your content unremarkable and you ultimately failed as the business matured and left you behind (far behind). Get over it and move on.

I'm actually starting to feel sorry for Paul. He's so desperate for recognition yet after being called out and caught as a liar time after time he just doesn't understand that he doesn't have any credibility at all. To top it all off his mail order bride doesn't even want anything to do with him. Can't blame her really. As if she's going to bring her friends around him so he can creep on them too.

It's pathetic Paul but you made the bed you're being forced to lay in.

don't you get it? no one gives a fuck what you say? nobody?

The Village idiot

Its been explained to you time and time again. I don't read your walls of text because you're too fucking dumb to put together a coherent argument or point. You continuing to ask the same questions repeatedly is just your pathetic way of attempting to shift the discussion away from your ineptitude, incompetence and general stupidity.

Didn't really realize you were such a failure until i got there spent time with you, went to your studios, went to a shoot (which, like everything, you denied happened)... it unfolded over 2 days where we finally realized you were fucking hopeless. Not only totally retarded, but imploding financially and losing your ass.

The truth is that you didn't retire. The truth is you couldn't afford to pay the lease on that "studio" and finally lost it and just couldn't pull it together after that, so you quit.

Anyway Paul, keep asking questions as if anyone as if attempting to shift attention away from your own idiocy is going to cause people to suddenly believe you. I'll keep taking a break from work to make fun of you just as others are.

Deal?

Cool.

that's all pretty cool n' shit but face that facts: magazines are a dead

Others do and they see your dodging.

As someone who was introduced to the Internet in the early 70s, .

So putting a foot, now both feet, in online was a clever move.

Your reply appears to be missing about 700 words?

Anyone who thinks TheSquealer is full of shit? Anyone?

A pornographer who likes to fuck girls.
What is the world coming to?????

thinking of you paul
