Have you been in the adult industry long enough to remember
 

when freehosts required you to manually insert the code for their advertising header into your html?

I started in early 1997, but I can't remember that. Guess it was before my time lol

Wasn't actively working then, but was lurking around learning the ropes a bit...

hehe times have sure changed

Remember 'CyberThrill Casino'? Rotten bastards. lol

I remember promoting 'Sex Museum' and other sites that are but a distant memory nowadays.

18 cents per click :error

I used to have an iGallery tshirt, but misplaced it about three moves ago...

But no, I don't remember the code thing. I never used freehosts seriously, though.

BabylonX was a killer...

Never used freehosts :)

I started about the same time. I don't think Porn City made you do that but they might have...there was another one I used (whose name I can never fully remember) that made you do that and sent me a personal email to say sorry that the host was slow that day because somebody got listed on Persian Kitty and the whole network was crawling because of it.

Pretty much everybody did back then even if they had their own domains too.

some of the best pulling banners of all times...

Was it ARS?

I barely used anyone's freehosts, as I had a few myself.

No I hadn't even heard of ARS at that stage.

I remember. Long time ago!

i remember that for sure - as a surfer. whereever i searched for free passwords i ended up on that site :1orglaugh

I don't remember that.
But, I do remember xpics.
God, I made a ton of money off them.
in fact..I think everyone made a killing off them.

Yes. And I remember their gallery builders... lol

I remember the free hosts back then, and paying $6-$7 a gig for bandwidth. I also remember making alot of money on Adult Check when they first came out. Those days were great for easy sales!

must have been the so called golden times ........

I remember before there was online porn, just magazines and VHS :Oh crap

Yeah I went for the 9.00 a gig hosting after getting kicked off of assorted mainstream free hosts in a day or less.

:1orglaugh That was awhile ago!

I remember manually ranking my links page before autorank! Does that count? :upsidedow

shit, i remember when DMR fucked everyone

ha, i got an IEG shirt

can anyone beat that one????????

:1orglaugh That was how I saw them the first time as well.

As I remember I first learned programming PERL by making a topsites script and then hosting it on HYPERMART. They were great, the first host I ever found that gave you a whopping 10 MB of space plus let you run PERL scripts! God how i abused that one... :laughing-

How bout the first convention at the Monte Carlo where only 100 or so people showed up :thumbsup

Anyone remember waiting up Saturday morning for XPics to post their final payouts for the week?

Actually there was one before that in Florida...only about 25 people were there. ;)

Or when domains were $100 each :)

Xpics was 18 cents a click

Sweet T still flew coach ;)

Dokk was a DJ at a stripclub

I remember and I remember $0.30 per click but then again I've been here
since '92 do you still remember RJ Gordon Telecom aka DMR?

Yup..you're right..just remembered that one too :thumbsup :1orglaugh

I had a broom holder with their name on it but I don't think it was DMR yet nor RJ Gordon Telcom. It was an oil company, IIRC. The 900 company I was working for was the one who brought them into the adult billing biz back around 94ish? They sent me flowers for doing something for them - can't even remember what - but I still have the card, lol.

I'm one of the few that time who left them before they went tits up and didn't
lose money with them. R.J. Gordon was the guy's name I still have an LCC
that he setup....it's in the fridge though.....bad mojo using that :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That may still be my favorite show of all !

oh yeah sure do :)
good ol' times

I didn't really use freehosts since I had my own servers going into it.

Ah.....$9.00/Gig hosting....gives me a woody every time!!! Ah, the memories

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I remember revshare hosting be a huge thing years ago, even the big guys were using it..

Smutland and Babylon X got me into this business.
