GFY & your personal advancements over the last 2 years
 

my brief run-in with bhutocracy in another thread got me to thinking.... been a long time since I talked with alot of people....

alot has happened in the last two years here. Where were you 2 years ago and where are you now?

Care to share?

AMP:

2 years ago:

Living pretty well (Bay Area in Cali).... I was struggling to find my place in the industry.... trying a ton of different things... some successfully, some not. Definately learned from all of them though. Hadn't even become 'Amp' yet.... was a rough time. Had just exited AT&T.... damn.... went through several months of wondering where rent was gonna come from.

(lotsa shit in between.... but let's not focus on that right now)

Today:

Workin' for Adult.com.... love my job.... living on Maui Island.... bought my first home.... couldn't be fucking happier. Not much else to say really. Toned down the board persona quite a bit in just the last few months.... looking forward to the second half of this year. Grown alot.... learned alot.... and just doing my damndest to stay on the up-curve of creativity.

maybe I'll buy a new surfboard next month. :)

Nowhere...fuck I'm depressed...more beer :glugglug

I have more money now

I forgot one thing.

I LOVE THE COCK

Made some very good contacts. The main think I like about GFY is how public it makes everyone, especially people with considerable amount of time invested posting here.
They know i wont fuck them over, and I know they wont fuck me over.

How could you forget something like that

oh yeah.... I've gained a clone.

How many of you fuckers can say that! :)

Amp loves the cock.

I think I was getting laid more back then :(

You've also gained a stalker.

and a stalker....


damn.... my memory sucks ass.

2 years ago.... TOO RICH

2 years later ...... FILTHY POOR!

I still remember the 9-11. you and Gary posted like MAD. all pix and shit....

are you handsome ?

I like anal sex

Sperm is known to have an adverse effect on ones memory.
Might I suggest spitting, instead of swallowing?

and Gary got banned.... I put on a dress..... crazy times.... good stuff

2 years ago - Still struggling with the new hosting company, lotsa bills and lotsa late nights... was submitting a few gal's back then too but wasnt making much from it. Was a lot more stressed out and unhappy back then...

now - loving the hosting biz (harsh as it is) and bought my house, got some investments, have a few fun projects on the go, own 2 two other companies, have 5 employees. Still looking for more projects tho.... now, happy and laid back, relaxing a bit more (but not much) :)

future plans include travel and makin more $$



:glugglug

this was th pic from when Gary was de-banned after I wore the dress:

I owe much of my success to GFY.If I didnt find GFY I would be slaving away as the CEO of some record company....

mule:
2 years ago: post count 0
now: post count 1870

You beat me hands down, Amp

lens must issue Xanex prescriptions for new employee's

mule:
2 years ago: no one cared
now: no one cares

aw :)
At least you care enough to reply, you've made me feel really special :)

it's like that isn't it - damn one and a half years on gfy too..

2 years ago
part owner in several paysites but still a learner when it came to real traffic generation and several more technical aspects of the industry - used designing as easy money.. did ok for myself.

today
moved, bought a house, relinquished partnerships and focussed on ideas and experience to start up several programs which are in development and overseeing a group of people with mr-yellow. Bringing several products out to the adult novelty market space and generally having a bunch of fun doing it.

lmao .....:1orglaugh

This shit made me laugh so hard...

my evil clone must be destroyed...

me too, biatch

Which begs the question...

Who the fuck asked you?

I only want to show my sig to viewers.

my posts are bl brain dump.

:feels-hot

I'm gonna let my clone beat up on your ass for a while.... I got tired of you several months ago.

I run while I can.

good bye !

I was nothing then.... I am still nothing now....

2 year ago I was doing alright. Very involved with tgp2 and still am.


Today I work for MakingBacon.com as webmaster support and a few other things.
I'm still involved with tgp2. I'm a little older and wiser.
Life is good.

Oz

We do share that in common...:)

2 years ago I was an idealistic, innocent webmaster who refused to promote teen, spam, Max Hardcore type shit, or beast. I was also not very wealthy.

Then I joined GFY.

Today I'm an amoral goat sex spamming fool who is doing rather well.

Thanks GFY!

In the past two years I've...

Nearly died (E.Coli poisoning).
Moved 5500 miles (from England to California).
Nearly killed (Medical insurance scam almost killed my wife and did kill our unborn child - doctor refused treatment for my wife 'cos he was scamming her insurance company. The longer he kept her ill, the longer she had to keep receiving treatment. I found out his home address - a week after he moved...).
Got 2 GFY t-shirts.
Got married.
Reached 1000 posts.


... in roughly that order. Still not earning as much money as I'd like though :winkwink:

Two years ago we were shooting 100% for magazines and the only Internet money we were earning was via Photorama and Best Adult Content. Employed 5 people.

Today ourr income has trebled, 50% of it via the Internet. We bought a new house, no mortgage, and employ 10 people. A lot of the business comes from clients who found us on GFY.

*Note to self*
Must buy some advertising here to repay.

Can you imagine how far we would have got if I was not such an arsehole? :1orglaugh

*Edit*
Also had a little baby girl 16 months ago, that was the nicest thing to hapen to us.

I don't imagine a lot of people give a fuck about you or your life...or where you've come from or where you're going.

You constantly keep look for praise.

oh look at my tattoos, oh look how much bigger I'm getting in the biz....shut the fuck up.

:321GFY
