Oh God I remember those "award sites" too. And how proud I was back in '97 to put that button on my first little free site. LOL

Hi Lee, how are you? I haven't seen you since Los Angeles 3 or 4 years ago.

Do you remember the award by Lapis,"Capt Smut"..that was a big one when I first came on the scene...

As it turns out,one of the two folks behind this, "Capt. Smut" award button was Quentin Boyer, formerly a Director of Topbucks for the last 5 years, and now VP of Marketing at XBang as of last Dec..

I was SO proud to get my Capt. Smut button!

Red, Honey I am doing great and dumped the red hair in 2001, back to beachie blonde tones since I fish alot on the boat.

Divorced the wife of 16 years in 2001, and happily single :-)

Just resigned from CE- in Dec, and happy as hell with XBang...Lots of major life changes, but most welcomed ones!

How are you my darling?

I don't even remember who I got the awards from, but I had a bunch and since my site was my erotic writing, I took them as high accolades indeed.

I'm glad things are going so well for you. You look great as a blonde.
Things are going terrific for me. I got engaged, complete with a beautiful ring and I'll be getting married next January.
My affiliate program has its official launch on Monday so everything is real good.

RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW.

YOU are the "UPS"! Congrats!

All the best and happiness in your marriage, and affiliate program!

See, your further proof, us early gen webmasters still have alot of options still available...

Affiliate programs are fun, I really enjoy the web hamsters, I get to either *spank them or *hug* them, they are all like my kids!

For me, I've been strutting my stuff since 1999....and I'm an old timer no matter how many years I've been in the biz..LOL.

Cheers!

Aren't the old timers circa '96?

I don't count. I think I was dubbed a midbie because I'm from '98.

But, Ms. Lee Noga is my desktop icon...one of the first faces besides Kath and Marsha I saw at that infamous AWE in Atlanta.

I was in business for three years before showing my face....

I have to admit.... she does!

Why did we all do that? So many of us worked all alone in a corner before "coming out" on the boards/shows. I did a lot of mainstream in '97, didn't do adult until '98 and then didn't find CONDOM Project until late '98. I see that time as time wasted - I didn't really start learning/earning until I began networking on the boards, asking questions and getting reviews from those '96ers.

We were successful before going to shows.

I can't even imagine how much further we would have been had we started networking in person back in '98.

And, there were gaps in my education because we were isolated and alone in our cave.

Jringo · 2005-01-20, 03:28 AM

I'd have to say my biggest regret would be spending so much time constantly tweaking my site instead of going after more traffic, but it seems the traffic just came so I designed and redesigned......till one day I had a cool ass site and a inflated ego and i loved going there to admire my work, problem was i was the last one going there....till one the great providers we had back than sold out and took my domain with them....
Now I think I just come on line because old habits die hard...

Danielle · 2005-01-20, 05:55 AM

Hi Lee!

Remember the fake cum questions?

Hugs,

Man seeing Your Av brings back memories, when that was part of the set You gave away in Your FREE content....

Yep, an SSN or an EIN is a requirement. Can't make any exceptions for that one or the IRS will get us.

We actually do a quick background investigation on all affiliates before we approve them now. You would be amazed at how much fraud that has cut down on.

Hugs,
Danielle

It's amazing. Some of us have grown up together.

It wasn't that I was hiding or anything, just in a small circle of friends, most of whom still do not post on boards

does missing pic posts make you an old timer? |rasta|

when I came on in 97, I was getting paid mad cash from gamma's click program at $.05 a click, all from picposts.

you dont have to miss picposts, I have one, http://realpicpost.com it isnt as big as um.. slutpost or sexypost were, or even pussyboard, but given time... heh... ok no foolin it will never be as big again, but there are still people new to the internet that like picposts because they dont know they can get more free content elsewhere. They are more likely to buy, but there are less of them....

sorry for the ramble, but I miss picposts too!

Renee · 2005-01-20, 08:37 AM

so close to my birthday, this thread makes me really feel old!

I remember the "gift" for coming up with the best domain names, LOL they were flying all up and down that board.

I was so smart I never tried to get any of them

I agree with the rest, my biggest mistake was not hiring someone to continue my work, then move on with something new but hell I was happy.. and rich! LOL

I did TRY to hire a couple people but they couldnt/wouldnt/didnt do it like I did so they had to go

second was turning my site into a cj site, I had dedicated and loyal traffic. But the money was awesome and the net was new and I was getting it while I could cause I just knew it wouldnt last hehehe :p

The surfers would email me saying they found a site that was using my pics (bought from Lee) on their site and wanted to make sure I knew about it and they had permission to do so, even had some surfers volunteer to "take care of them for me" if I hadnt given my permission LOL

which brings me to the one thing that I think has remained consistant. Surfers that can relate to a person/personality will have better quality traffic over ALL the rest. I agree with Lee that blogs are a great tool to add that personality to a site.

and lastly... THANK GOD FOR CRONS!

Greetings and salutations to all!

Ok Lee, you got me out of lurker mode with the old timer remark.

It's a bit ironic to see on the boards now the same issues we discussed back in the OTR days.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Peace,

*blush*....I had not attended an Internext show in years due to CE cutting back how "large" they exhibited. But, actually it made sense to cut back because after so many shows how much more business can you harvest?

Once my pics ended up on fubar this year, some old friends dragged up some old ones from Internext '98 in Orlando...

OMG...what was I thinking with red hair and a mullet! Ya think I should post the 1998 pic and a 2005 pic? Will do only if ya ask me to.

WOW, it is great to see you Renee! It so great to see Colin and Taz! I feel like this is a family reunion without the big sit down meal and dishes!

Concepts born a decade ago are still solid concepts, what has changed is the application.

Pic Posts! LOL.....and I still see folks doing "Pic of the Day" in email. That was such a big deal with surfers the POTD...now its spam.

I still cannot believe I sold "Perverts.com" for 10K in 1997, STUPID!
