What came first? LLs or TGPs?

I am so curious and lucky at the same time because if someone knows the answer I can find that person here

Back in the day, everyone just linked to anything they found - there were no "free sites" or "galleries" as defined by today's terms. LOR linked to both (using today's definitions) for about a year or so.

PK & Richard have always been "Link Lists" as far as I know - AL4A & The Hun have always been "TGP's" - but back then, no one knew those terms so we all just had sites that linked to porn

Actually, you're going to have to take Greenie's words with a grain of salt. I suggest that you go HERE and read the sentence just below the site logo. That is the earliest date I've seen and it involves two respected names in the business.

DDave's site precedes Usenet

There were a lot of websites that had a page or pages of links to other websites back then & technically, "Link Lists" & TGP's" are both "Link Sites" in that they basically just "link" to other sites/pages.

All these buzz words & titles for things came about because of message boards

PK started in about Feb / Mar 96 (?) linking to "sites" mainly, such as they were.

The Hun was around mid-late 96. I remember him as linking to image directories without an index page mainly before linking to galleries.

The first "TGP" of any size linking solely to galleries was probably Adult Buffet in summer / autumn 97 (ish).

think was like this, yes - as far as I can remember...

actually theHun linked anything those days that could be found or was submitted to him; it was kind of a picpost, linklist and tgp in one... but all on one index page. it was possible to link to everything that could be found online as there really wasn't a lot those days.

Tommy - we didn't know any better back then

Actually, linking to an unprotected directory is a lot different than hotlinking the images into your pages like fusker does.
(technically, when linking to a directory, you just linking to a page on their server)

i wonder how could one think of linking to porn from his page back in 1996.... This one must be either porn addict or a very talented man with business in mind.

My 1st site (actually, it was just a page) was online on a free host back in June 96 & I had links to porn with no addictions or business plans - just shits & giggles
