Robin Nixon..... was the man!

[Kimmykim]

Yep, was Robin, but he's not around any more. Got a tavern or some such in England going.

[Jakke PNG]

I invented the questionmark.

[SykkBoy]

yup Robin Nixon but a shoutout would also have to go out to Timon...

Robin Nixon was a great innovator
he had that sex casino thing where you gambled your hits you sent to a toplist and sextab and the program I made a ton of money on SxyMail...damn that program paid amazing amounts of money..33 cents at the time......I was making $100-150 a day off just that program and I was small potatoes

Note the use of the aforementioned question mark in that statement. Classy. Nothing but class.

You should say thanks to the ISP's that made it possible for these people to access your site

No. You should say thanks to Larry Flynt. He helped to make the porn biz what it is today. A man with a magazine and the guts to take it to the edge.

[theWatsonian]

When Robin was leaving the biz he said that he and his wife were opening a home for the elderly or something along those lines - made possible by porn. There's a human interest story for some hard working English journalist.

[kmanrox]

pop-ups help you to build strong, resilient character or the highest order...

Thank you Larry Flynt

[Clay]

Who was the first person/company to make money in online porn?

[kmanrox]

first webmaster program was i cant remember, either al hadhazy from amateurhardcore or ron levi from cybererotica, cant remember what the final determination was, i think ron posted proof that his was first.... but dont quote me

[FreeOnes]

Don't yell too early as you don't get paid. Popups don't convert which is the reason most popup sponsors don't pay.....

Robin also had that program written to scan the whois databases and find 3, 4, and 5 letter domain names that weren't taken. Sexpolosion, one of the very first adult free hosts, was his. Hell, he started playing with internet radio stuff like in 95 or so....way before it was cool :-) He was an innovator and leader. Fun times.

Who ever made popups.

Use whom when referring to an indirect object.

[cgiGeek]

Pop ups are Javascript, and Javascript is Netscape,
(When it was good, before AOL)
so you should be thanking Netscape.

Also the marketing tactics the early adult industry webmasters use, revolutionized the whole industry, they pushed the envelope and the technology, most new technologies and tactis are based on workarounds discovered by them.

Dude...I invented post-it notes, and I can tell you how I thought of it too...This one time in band camp...I released all over this chicks face...and there where no towles or anything laying around so I reached for this piece of paper to let her clean up the mess...and she sat there with a piece of paper stuck to her forehead...on the paper it said get milk....and I thought to myself...hmmmm may have something here....and BAM! the birth of post-notes began

[Anthony_Whitcon]

Timon is the one who invetned x-it consoles.

Thank that man. I made serious bank from it.

[Anthony_Whitcon]

Actually was talking to Timon on Oprano about his eternal claim to fame, "consoles".

He actually thought for a second I was pissed at him about it. =o)

Did you cut her in for a percentage? I mean really, after all wasn't it HER head that set the stage for the idea to be formed?

KK, you are misinformed,
Robin is NOT as far as you think

[FADE19]

$0.15 per $100,000.00 dollares made...I think that is pretty damn fair

she only acted like a big white board for the idea is all...

I think you right..Pretty sure he owned sexshare and when he sold it he said he would be hanging out. If am not mistaken...

I remember the old chat board he owned (at least I think he owned it ) Robins Place I think or something like that.

I also thought he lived in Palo Alto, CA.

nope,
he moved back to UK, opened a few pubs and now feels the boredom only internet people can feel in real world


he is working on a few projects and might get back into the public view very soon
