Who Helped you most?

[Barron]

I remember the milestones in my Adult Industry career. With each one of the milestones, there were different people envolved. There wasnt any one Mentor so to speak.

The first person I have no clue who it was. I emailed a webmaster from a video link list and asked "How do I get started?". The reply was a one line answer with nothing more than the url to YNOT.

That lasted about 10 minutes. I found a link for newbies, read one article and did the math. The author of the article couldnt add, or subtract for that matter. If I followed his example, I would have been several thousand dollars in debt and nothing to show for it. But, YNOT taught me the phrase "webmaster resource". A quick Google search sent me to Netpond.

Thats where I meet Voltar, who taught me the basics of getting started.

From there the most influentual was Dravyk. Reviewing for allofem got me going to other boards.

From there, Tommy was the guy that did more for me expanding than anyone. That came in the form of a one line post "We know very well about cookies", or something close to that. That sent me to tommys site and reading the cookie he was setting. That opened a whole new world for me.

Then came Pasta, he taught me the value of watching what other people were doing. That snow balled into reading between the lines and listening to what wasnt being said on the boards.

The next person I met pulled it altogether for me. I dont know which nick to use for him, but Jim taught me "Once you click a link of mine, I can do what I want with you". That in itself gives a whole new meaning to "filtering traffic".

Old Tom taught me the value of learning to do my own coding and the value of learning the power a unix operating system can give you. Learning html, php and perl only scratches the surface of what you need to know.

I have no clue what the name is of the next guy, you will know who you are though, your Merchant/processor is in Panama. You taught me the meaning of deceptive and how to make money with it. And, never to do it.

Last but not least, Greenguy. He does a very subtle thing on this board everyday that gives everyone a golden key on how to make money. I changed somethings in my own little porn empire because of this and its starting to pay off. From some of the posts I read, I dont think there are very many that pick up on it.

My hat is off to all of you! Thanks for all the help
