As for helping newbies, I've offered MANY MANY times to help with video problems and how to improve member's areas videos, etc in exchange for being taught the webmaster trade.

Up to now, not a single person has returned the favor. I share my knowledge and get nothing back... THATS why I rarely help out anymore

you know, the way to pull off your sham is to say less. You've said too much.

have fun, pretender.

nice read thanks its been an interesting 12 years :)

Most interesting post I have read on gfy this yeart for sure :)

Interesting post. As for the conclusion about industry solidarity and so on, that's just dreaming. The industry became cutthroat many years ago, and will stay that way.

All I know is that I wish I had had online access in 1995 or whenever the first membership sites popped up.

I'd love to read a book about the beginning of the online adult industry. I have a feeling one reason it hasn't been written is because of all the illegal activity that gave many of today's big players their start hehe.

Also I think it would be hard to get straight answers which would be important for a book. They were cut throat then just it was focused on fucking the customer out of as much money as possible.

interesting post indeed.

I still have the cash but it is invested in other things. My main investment is sandwhich shops in New Zealand and London.

Alot has changed. I still think the money is there, I still think to create a program that makes gross over $1m per month is easy.

You sure we met? I still dont know who you are. Most webmasters i met and talked to longer than 2 minutes i kinda know what they are doing or what sites they run. But nothing you mentioned so far rings any bells.
