That is so funny, but I believe it. We usually pay it and deduct it from our Programmers fuck ups but he probably didn't have it. As a matter fact, I know he didn't have it so that's why you didn't get paid.
But we have sent out hundreds of thousands of dollars from fuckups only because we had to.

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?

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.

Executive Stats · 01-12-2005, 08:33 PM

I always knew I would be successful. I told people in college at 19, I would be a millionaire by 25. Well I beat that by a couple of years. 50% of success is believing you can be successful.

Mainstream stuff is tough, we have it easy in this biz. The mainstreamers can call us what they want but we know what works.

Congrats, 7 years is a long time too.

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.

Everyday is a Glory day if you are having fun at it.

What? damn you started young. I was checking out your stats program, very, very impressive.

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 think positive. The fun part is when your OWN family members (siblings, cousins, uncles, parents) put me down. I am just going to enjoy paying their car insurance bill and not even feel it.

hehe...Yup, I have an uncle that kept saying we were losers because we never went to school. 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 didn't think about it that way, you are right. 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

SplitInfinity · 01-12-2005, 11:59 PM

Nice to realize that, isn't it?

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

The award we got meant so much to me because of how long we have been here. 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!

Yeah, you guys have come a long way, congrats for the award. You guys deserve it. The decade party sounds like a good idea.
