No one goes to conferences anymore.

:thumbsup

2 things you dont ask on GFY, one is a buiness question, the second is a tech question beyond anything that is normally bought at best buy :)

I'd like to take this time to plug all the little people who do the grunt work.
Respect to the content and the stunt cocks.

12 clicks was owned for a long time by someone who obviously prefers to disassociate himself from his creation.

We all know who the owner was but we won't say because he's always been basically a cool guy with a very bright mind.

Too bad we were left with Ronnie. :thumbsup

Personally, I really miss Serge. Now there was a man with brains, humour and could carry any kind of conversationon any subject.

I also remember the days that Lens had a voice and wasn't an absentee landlord. :2 cents:

CyberAge Dave has to be pretty high up there ;)

Behind every legend is a myth and while myths make good stories they are not necessarily true.

:2 cents:

As well as lacking a Hugh Hefner, able to work his magic on a variety of ventures, there is also a distinct lack of newcomers in the list so far. That doesn't bode very well for such a young industry.

I can't believe I'm making the same choice as SD, but I'm also going to "vote" for Andrew Conru. Not because of AFF, which although hugely successful features a lot of what I like least about this business, but because he successfully adapted his business model for so many niches, in and out of porn. The recent changes in the rules of AsiaFF also suggest someone who isn't resting on his laurels and will be around for a long time to come.

Ian you need to get out more often

The first two click programs were Cybererotica and Amateur Hardcore so I'd go with "Fantasy Man" of CE, Al Hadhazy of Amateur Hardcore and of course Persian Kitty who dominated the tops of the hit trackers for many years and inspired many free webmasters.

For those who weren't around here is the story behind why Amateur Hardcore instituted a click through program. Amateur Hardcore was buying traffic from a coalition of webmasters know as COTAC. COTAC included Oprano's Serge, JoeHoller, Robon Nixon, DebofTheWeb, NightLifer, and Davic. A disagreement over click counts caused COTAC to stop sending traffic which greatly reduced Al's revenue overnight. Al, needing a quick solution, brainstormed and came up with a click through program which paid two cents per click. The program utilized full automation of the sign up process and stats. The idea quickly spread. Thus was born his click-through program.

Necessity really is the mother of invention.

Wish I was a legend. :)

Marc De. Definitely.

Larry Flynt should be added to the list.

Slav, is this the old canadian ian of "the flying fuck squad" fame or is this a different bitter loser who imagines he knows this businesse's history?
:1orglaugh

Ian????

Snowblind?

:)

The guy is someone I learned a lot from but I won't even mention his name here out of respect. Ronnie has been riding his coattails for years convincing all newbies he's a genius.

ditto on serge.

goatse...is legend

I stand by my 2002 selection.

are you kiddin?? most of these kids just finished building their first gallery :winkwink:

Xpics and the guy that stole sex.com!

Someone call me?

im a legend at the seniors home..

...and would we still remember who Marc was if RB didn't get into troubles with FTC?

Marc was in the right place at the right time with his $75 per sign up offer...
;)

What sucks is the guys with all the money are totally silent in the industry..

but legends as far as internet porn would be Seth Warshavsky and Danni ashe hands down.. then many others right after.

better question is who is still around from the pioneers

I would think somebody like JoeE has made more money than Hefner.

What I have learned from being in the industry since late 96 is Perception is not the reality.

WOJ... and his famous bot ;)

Some big names in this thread, some of the big boys have posted too :)

you can say that again.... :2 cents:

I vote for Dugmor! :thumbsup

I think we have enough to go on for now...go ahead and turn the witness loose....
