What's your claim to fame in adult?
 

I was the first tube webmaster to put the video count in the search bar placeholder...within a year all the top tubes (pornhub, xvideos, xhamster, etc) had copied me. Feels kinda good, though I didn't make any money from it.

What's yours?

Such claims are relative , as you never know who else could run same thing at the same time, plus i dont find such thing particularly innovative anyway. For example, i was running something similar to native ads years before when it started to be popular, but i dont find it particularly special.

well it's certainly not a million dollar idea but I'd never seen anyone do it before me and now it's on almost every tube site. and I got wayback machine links to prove it.

but that's not the point--how have YOU innovated in adult?

What if they simply had same idea but just a little bit later ?

and it's also possible that some other random site like mine had the same idea and the top tubes copied from them and not me...but I still have the wayback machine links to prove I was on that idea before the top tubes, and that's good enough for me.

what's your innovation?

There are things for which i could say how i innovated it, but i am not sure were they adapted by any other sites.

Picture of me motorboating a girl that did a spread in Playboy at the Playboy Mansion. Her name was Michelle Manhart.

well bein ahead of the game on native ads is pretty good either way!

hahaha that's fuckin awesome, I do wish I'd been part of the industry in those days but I am a youngster

I had a few firsts back in the late 90's - Some crazy AVS stuff...

Yes but i am out of that game at the moment :1orglaugh But it was good $$ while it lasted.

This one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Manhart

Check out my name, it's all you need to know.

haha you're a legend for sure man, all due respect

interesting question! There are several people here that have done some amazing things over the years.

Easy !

I'm the guy that likes poo... :2 cents:

That's my claim to fame !

Oh yeah, and my 'Claim to fame' on GFY is that I am the ONLY user with a special brown username :thumbsup

I was the first one in my family who made money in adult :))

Great thread. I've designed several tubes, paysites, tgps and galleries that were copied by many people over and over. It's always an honor when someone comes to us and says "I want a site like this" and it's one we did years ago.

I have nothing... lol... it is what it is.

Looking forward to reading more replies tho.

I am a world class cunt

I think you're the only GFY member that was banned for life and allowed to come back.

NO, it's not true!..

I can't wait for this board to have a like button!

Yeah, She's a very cool person, couple years ago she got in trouble for stopping a flag burning, she rides a Harley in a club called Combat Vets .

You've won a ton of awards and posted some naughty pictures of yourself as well.
Miss our talks, hope all is going well

Arron did finally give me a copy, I need to send it to Michele to sign

I'm pretty sure I was the first reality site to "trick" people into making a porn.

I'm also pretty sure I was also the first person to have free hosted galleries.

In the early 2000's we were one of the first independent producers/websites to have more than 30,000 users sign up on a promotional Yahoo club/group we created - Extreme Bondage Fantasies. It hit over a million views in the first year.

We had other bondage producers frequently ask how we attracted those numbers.

Im that guy that when he starts buying bitcoins you better sell them right away...:upsidedow

I have been credited with the being the first one to refer to GFY as "The Zoo".

I do not know how accurate that is but it is the term I adopted for it back when I was posting on Oprano.

It was never meant as an insult, although some took it that way. Zoo is a surfing term referring to a very crowded spot. Lots of people, lots of noise.

.

some good stories man

Where are these pics?

I owned + co-owned a couple huge networks of shock sites about a decade ago. One of them still gets mentioned in popular culture sometimes.

I mostly did it for the lulz, though, back then.

Im only destined to infamy . . .

Besides having the biggest dick? Well, I only produce standard BG porn so I guess it would have to be that I post almost twice a day on GFY but I'm a reasonable, friendly person.

Spammed Yahoo Chat with automated bots.

In the 90's I was the first to implement a Ladies' Day program at adult bookstores, where women would receive 20% off purchases, typically on Wednesday since it was traditionally a slower business day. Back then we always struggled to get women to come into the stores, as they had a mental image of them being unsafe and a place where they would be harassed. That is why home toy parties became so popular, even though the vibrators and toys they sold were marked up double what we sold them for. When they would finally come in they were shocked at how clean and safe the stores were, and how much cheaper we were. I knew if I could get them in the door it would change their perceptions and they would become regular customers, so for all 20 stores we started running ads in local newspapers and on TV for the Ladies' Day promotions, and sure enough it worked like a charm. I would get huge groups of women come in together and buy damn near every vibrator off our walls. Within a few years all of the big chains copied and it became a pretty standard thing in that side of the industry...

She use to post pictures of herself, she's pretty damn hot. I'm sure they have been taken down by now...

I might have had the most blogs on Thumblogger at one point.. :'( lol

When I was into Mustangs I was pretty well known in the Mustang forums. We did a lot of photo shoots on my various Mustangs and the Mustang guys loved them...

The good ole days. :thumbsup
