I'm just reminiscing.....

My first net surfing experience was about 16 years ago. Living in Nth Queensland in Australia, internet access had become "affordable" to me and I quickly developed a $300 month access bill with Ozemail. There was not a lot to see, and I was green. (Knowing now that all those domain names were sitting there waiting to be registered).
I did the first thing any male would, and it didn't take long until a found a site called the The Hun. Looking similar to how it does now, though surfers submitted links they had found to site back doors, ect. I remember submitting a page to The Hun I had made on Angelfire, that had links to unprotected index's of images. It was of course listed and I watched the counter tick over all the way to about 2000. That was fun, though I ended up drifting away from the net. To expensive and not much interested me.
10 years later, I thought I would see what was happening with the porn industry and spent time researching on how to do it myself. A short time later I got a "gallery" listed on The Hun (new, improved and with morels). I didn't know it was listed until I checked one morning just before I left for work. I shit myself, I had sold about US$700 in AVS memberships. Now the Aussie dollar was at about 50c then, so that was $1400 to me. I got my girlfriend out of bed and asked her to follow me to work so I could drop off my company car and tell em to stick their job! She was behind me 100% (hence we are still together). I worked hard and got my recurring membership base up to about 300 and $2000-$4000 a week in income. What a great two years. I stalked the other boards, though rarely posted as I preferred to spend my time a little more productive. Anyway, I then sold off my sites and took a new direction. It was about the time that GFY started, that I got out.

Well I'm back! I have some reservations, but feel there is still $$ to be made.
So its back to stalking the forums!
Its a great industry and I hope you are all doing well!

Cheers,
Mark
