Middle of 2000.

I remember making a tgp gallery, uploading it to angelfire and submitting it to thehun using the IP address instead of "angelfire.com" and it got listed. That's where I made my first $ in this biz.

Hmmmm Mike what yr was that .... the first time i met you, Rob, Newbiz, Roger V.. lol Charlo...... ? That was a long time ago ... i remember those porn parties being so small ...

:)

mid 1996

oh man do I remember xpics :( easy grand/day...

I remember sending you some fat checks for about 50k:winkwink:

2003
sold my internet training company and got bored
started with a porn site review site

No shit.... this is funny... I hearing stuff from guys I have known for years but never knew this shit...

Yea, thats how I met you actually. Ian and you worked a deal with me for 50k for some traffic once. And you guys paid me when we got to internext. The next show we shared a booth.. hahaha

Ian's dad kicked me out of the limo and then found out who I was and made them wait why they went to get me and let me back in.. hahahaha funny shit

them were some good old days:winkwink: Charlo always had some fun secretaries

1999 shooting exclusive content... for 3 big websites...

I totally remember we were on fire back then at the shows LOL

All the pets....

And Ian'a dad is still going strong

hahahaha



Hey Whitney...... What was that? About 3 or 4 years ago?

started with a blog with amateur pages on it, then moved on.

we are getting old but they keep getting younger LOL

Oh sheesh... probably closer to 4 years forsure. I mean this is going to be my 4th LV internext show. And that was in May.. wow maybe closer to 4.5 yrs? Hmm that doesn't sound right either LOL I'll ask mich mash......

And Roger V..... i remember the secretary riff raff.. and i didn't even work for Charlo yet LOL... oh how funny.

Whitney

hahaha, the good old days.... That who sexatary thing was funny as hell

That's bitchen. The only difference is, we still work 18 hours a day.
Knowing you have not only employees that live off of you, but just like yourself. There are thousands of webmasters out there living their lifestyles because of what you built.

So work for us and anyone else that runs their own empire knows that it's not easy and you always need to be on top of everything.

Do you remember the whole "C B" thing...? Rob reminded me of tat not too long ago..... oh Leanne. That was one funny weekend... that started myu love for the price brothers... and Mich's ;)

Yep, Kinda of a trip to think what you have built!! But I have to admit, I dont work those 18 hour days anymore.. I'm down to about 8.... but I never really take vacations and shit

Thats right...I forgot about that CB'n chick... hahahah

Ok, we were talking about XPICS.... Check this out for some old times...

You don't physically work but mentally you are working 24/7
I don't take vacations either. I get home sick real quick. And I need to be online or I am so lost.

january 98 - my parents got the internet on their pentium 1 computer. i surfed a lot in my spare time as i had never been online before. within a few months that got boring so i decided to make my own site. i started off making a music site, that didn't make any money but it was fun and nice to hear feedback about it.

then i got an email from one of my free webhosts about how he was making so much money off adult check with porn sites. i didn't think too much of it but after i quit my shitty factory job i decided to give it a try. celeb sites were some of my favorite sites to check out back then so i decided to start one of my own that summer. it flopped because i didn't know what the hell was doing (making thumbs out of full sized pics by using the width, height shit) ect. well i didn't give up and tried again on better hosting after gaining some more know how. well this time it succeeded and even tho all i intended to do was make enough money to pay my car insurance i ended up making more than my parents combinded in 1999.

i moved out that year and have been doing it full time ever since. 6 years this month.

There was not one adult site not using Xpics. They were huge. I knew them both. The two partners. I knew the numbers they were doing too and it was incredible.

In the past 9 years I think the longest I have gone without logging onto my computer has been 4 days.. And that was pretty recent. And its only happened a few times.... I just cant go without it... lol

Its like an addiction


"internet addiction" Next on 20/20 lol

i started in 2001 helping out the "boyfriend"
he created a monster out of me thereafter .....
Anyways

I have a new big ass project on the go right now thought i'd share :thumbsup

Hey Mike,
How's ROB ---->:Graucho <------

LoL... He's doing well... Letting his hair grow out. Guess he was tired of looking like Mike? lol

Same here, went to Cancun a few years ago. No Cell phone, No internet connection, Nothing. I was so lost for about 4 days too. I felt the world had ended.

Yea, thats probably why I don't ever leave the country anymore. Well unless its Canada or something.

I started I think in 2000 my brother Quashe teached me how to make galleries :glugglug man that were some easy times

july 2000, thanks to Dugmor

Yea, I know the numbers too and holy shit is all I can say about that... Holy shit!! Those guys blew it. They had such a good thing going.

Funny this topic came up...just found my very first site a few weeks ago...lol
How I started: In '97 got divorced and bought a WebTv (first time I had ever seen the internet). Saw all these personal websites and wanted one for myself...my ISP said it wasn't possible with WebTv but I didn't beleive him so eventually found a site called angelfire and this thing called HTML...no clue what it was but looked fun so I started learning it and created my very own web page http://www.angelfire.com/wa/litelred/ ...yahooo! I was addicted...lol Got my brother addicted to WebTv as well and since he was into porn he started figuring out how to make money with it. Few months go by and I buy my first PC a screaming 386...wow what a difference copy and paste makes...lol I made my first web page on that rocket of a PC for my construction biz http://olypen.com/shamrock/ then my brother kept getting help from me with HTML so I was getting used to how the adult world works and started my own site http://www.xxxhandyman.com From there I just kept trying to learn everything I could and am doing the same to this very day :)

almost started as content in 95 for Seth warshavsky LOL

started in 96 with selling 600 ways to get rich cd roms and some crazy porn site with seth warshavsky

then did therealworld.com for one of the first live voyour houses

my fist online company was Internet business ventures

the rest is history

June 1997

Started in 99 with Adultcheck

Still working on the last chapter:thumbsup

I'm good just hanging out! ;) Let's see i started working with mike in 96. i was the lucky one that got to submit all our crap to all the top 50 lists about 5 times a day...lol BORING! i'm so out of short descriptions its not even funny. Then we started silvercash and i got to stuff checks all day, but it was cool because we used to sit at home on the couch and watch movies while doing it. lol the good old days... Then Mike sent me to design school to learn photoshop and i started designing banners and our sites. The original Jungle girls... ha ha ha That went on for quite some time. Now we have other workers doing all that fun stuff and pretty much everything i do now is top secret sorry!

Whitster it's been a while for sure! That whole CB thing in funny. Tell leanne i said hi! oh wait never mind, she hated us. ha ha ha Just can't get enough of them canadian girls... ;)

I started in 1997,because i wanted to learn html after having done CAD design since the mid 80's. I had a consultant come in to teach me html..and after a few sessions he decided i was ready to build a site! He asked me what i wanted to build one about,,what interests etc...so the first thing that came into my mind was Babes and Bikini's.He checked to see if bikinipage.com was available and it was.Immediately Yahoo became my friend and gave the site first page listing for nearly 5 years.The rest is history.It started as a fun hobby and became lucrative immediately. :)

Oh man that night was soooo funny! Ian's Dad is crazy... Not to mention his mom! fuck how many times did we stop the limo to go get more Alcohol??? good times for sure!

1999.

It made me want to do something that would offend muslims. :2 cents:

Whats our boy up to now? Howz his sister too?

I was hired on by WEGCash, Purecash, and G3X last month to provide the marketing. In 1998-2000 I worked in the dot coms in San Francisco on the mainstream affiliate programs. And between all the excitement, I ran golf courses. Don't ask.
