Were you in the adult biz before or after GFY?
 

Were you:

A. Already in the adult business and someone told you about GFY (or you found it on your own)
B. Thinking about getting into adult and found GFY when looking for resources
C. Started adult after you found GFY
D. Still haven't started in the adult biz but working on it.
E. None of the above...you're homeless and hopeless.

I was in the adult biz well before I found GFY shooting content, running a couple magazines, and also had a couple sites. I was out of the adult biz for about 2 years when someone pointed GFY out to me. They were trying to start their own affiliate program and needed a web developer. Now that I found GFY, I am seriously considering getting back into the adult biz because the main reason I failed before is because I didn't have the knowledge and contacts like I do now. We had a SHITLOAD of content and magazine but no distributer so we lost like $30k on the deal.

I don't think some people realize the power of GFY. Put aside the funny joke posts and fake drama, this place is a plethora of resources and contacts galore! :thumbsup

I was already in it, and was told to go there, print a thread, and read it. :)

I was already in it and very succesfull. Matter of fact I owned a forum

Yo Dre, did you get my email from earlier? Hit back ASAP on that.

Before GFY

Btw did you get my email rob ?

Before :thumbsup

Aaaaaaaaaa

err got it. fuck damnit ! always problems

A. I didn't sign up at GFY until 2003. In fact, I was barely aware of an adult webmaster community before 2000. I thought it was pretty much just people here and there on their own.

I still remember when I was told to visit gofuckyourself.com . I thought it was a subtle message.

Yeah, it wasn't something that you would have been happy with. I can still ship it out tomorrow nextday so you can have it by Friday.

Was already doing some submitting. Don't even remember how I found this place.

before, but not by much, maybe a year before.

I've been doing this since 1997. I didn't hear about GFY until my first show in Vegas in 2004.

i was in the biz but i was a total n00b

A - i only started reading gfy once I came to AFF, was already in the biz for a few years.

I Invented Webmaster boards.

Not sure when gfy started so I can't say...I've been in the biz since early 2000 with Python. Just discovered gfy in 2004.

was in it for 4+ years before I heard of GFY . . . not sure how I found it

Started in the adult biz part time in 1999.
Full time in 2001.

1995 is that before ? :)

A - I had an entire retail line of DVD's available that I owned (and still own) the distribution rights to. Was selling those for a year or two before I registered at GFY; I have also had three paysites, though I shut all that down after 2257 was passed (have the documents, don't like the inspections requirements though).

Started in 1998, so I would say before

I found adultwebmasterinfo when UCJ was still a free script. I was comming from another line of internet marketing and needed a script to track hits.

No need to say that the ucj 1.1 crashed my server when I installed it ... literally 30 mins after I put it up on my site (wich had over 100 000 visitors a day...)

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

Why did you closed your forum and what ever happened to your partner Wizdom?

Btw. when I started in this biz there were no thread type forums.

Loooong before...

Before GFY

before and suprisingly after....alot of people quick to tell you "theres no more money in adult"

I remember reading ynot and netpond. I was on dial up so most of the time I read the boards while I was offline.

I started in 1997 and had no idea about message boards or anything. at that point I thought it was just normal people like me doing their own thing and no one chatted with each other in any way. It wasn't till I heard of Dokk and his radio shows that I found out about boards, but even at that point I didn't bother going to any. Figured that it would be a waste of my time. The things I could have learned if I would have actually went to a board back then.

Before by a few years.

Been on GFY first before I decided to get into adult business..

I have been researching and learning as much as possible about the "content" business since about '96
and it kept leading to adult. I harley consider myself a "webmaster" but learning I cant do everything myself or Ill go crazy. Having GFY is a nice way to meet people if you look past all the bs and harsh critisism.

Did you have anything to do with Technosex? We prob know some of the same people and might have met at some point tampa is a small town.

I had a few sites on MSN and yahoo groups for a couple years and surfed here back in 2002

3 years before GFY was born I started in online adult.

loooonnggg before

E.

Thank you mpx for showing myself the internet, I can remember late 97 a standard user ppp/slip account was costing me $4 per hour Ave.

Since 1973.

I got an acct back when I heard GFY starting to make noise, and wanted to see the competition.

GFY is bar none, the biggest there ever was, is, or ever will be.

waaaaaaaaaaay before

A. Lens told me about it.
