Weird fuckin' night...drinking flashback? (long post)

[fudpuck]

Is it just me, or is tonight just strange in general?


GFY staples Amp and juicy going at it...after Amp was going old school about GFY. Rick and the bunch were going way back...YNOT and Netpond style. I mean...it gets a boy's head spinning. Where you guys members in the C.O.N.D.O.M. project as well? Were you listed on PK? Richard's Realm...Green Guy...those guys were the shit. And a listing on Tommy's! Fuck!

Remember back when Fantasyman was the fuckin' man. Big Time Green! Seth at IEG sending out stupid $.02 checks for girlsgirlsgirls.com? Dean with Playgal...Robin Nixon coming out of nowhere with fucking consoles...adult freehosting...who knows what else. ScottPB and Prophet8. How much $$ did they make? I remember supposed to get a check for $8,500 and end up getting a check for $2,000 from them. It happens. No hard feelings.

Purehardcore.com...damn, they did me good back in the day. And XPics! How many people got started with Xpics...Mario or whoever ran the show there, they did their part to put make shaving a mainstay in the industry, but to also send out a bunch of pretty big checks to a lot of different webmasters.

Mmmm....remember the beauty of 404s? 404's bought our first server. Nasweb was a host back in the day, and they went out of business, and we had the IPs of their old host..sending thousands of hits a day. So we put sponsors there...Cha Ching! Changed everything. When we started with a freehost...both mainstream and adult...we started getting listed on the Hun. He ended up blacklisting us because we were the first people to sell our 404 hits. But that was just as well, because bandwidth was so expensive then, it was REALLY hard to profit from Hun traffic. It's all good. It was kind of cool to see so many people follow.

Fantasy Date. If anybody here cashed in on Fantasy Date...raise your hand. $.07 per unique...blind link and you didn't lose the hit. That shit was a goldmine. I didn't appreciate it enough while it existed...but thanks Fantasyman. Serge...that mofo sent me a check for $10 one time when I won some contest, telling him how to make the most of traffic, using Fantasy Date and Playgal. Thanks Serge.

One day about 5 years ago, I was talking to RAM. He was like "Man, when I get a big tit gallery linked on AL4A, it just gets SLAMMED." So I said.."If everybody likes them, well, send me the links to some of your big tit galleries..." and I started looking for some more. I put them all on one page and updating it, and it started getting hits. Then it got up to about 50,000 hits a day! Fucking niche TGPs were being born. WTF?! Shap caught on...and I was pissed when he was copying my layout and html..but you have to understand the net and new technology....

Whatever you do, if it's successful, it will be copied and immitated.

So we worked together. Wierd shit, things grew...and we all go our own ways. Everybody wants, and wanted to, build their 'EMPIRE.' I've seen and heard that word so many times, but I know of very few people that have acheived it.


So....



Golddiggers and magazine ads...arabs and jews...WTF? I can't find a good side to argue in any discussion I've been in.

This whole internet thing..who knows where it's going? There are several people that have a good idea...and somedays I think I'm one of them. But not today. It's just not all adding up.





I could go on forever and ever, and people will probably post that this post is too long and they're not reading it. And that's cool..then t will slip into oblivion in the middle of the night..and people who should read it will never see it. And that's cool.

But if you did read it. Just stop for a second. This is life. Internet and the real world, it's divided...but it's the same thing. It's your precious time. You only get one shot at each day you live. Try. Plan. Succeed. Don't burn bridges. Life is too short.


....and when you wake up tomorrow smile at just getting one more chance to make it better.

XPics started me off in this wonderful business!
I remember being 15 and getting checks for hundreds of dollars for doing sweet fuck all.

And what the fuck was the deal with those checks for $.02 from SEG? I don't remember even signing up for them.

aint that the worst! LOL

Thanks CT! It really has been a long night.

psyko...not sure about IEG...Seth was an odd cat. He wanted fame, yet he seemed to be an uber-dork. If it cost him $.33 to send a $.02 check to get your attention...I guess it was worth it. (Of course the check was going to bounce if you tried to cash it. Hahah)

barbie...we've all been around long enough to know, that's the way it always goes.
