Readers Digest Version:
--Oct 1 1997 Bought First Domain
--Oct 10 1997 Launched first site (with this fantastic idea that it would be a free site until we got people hooked on it then we would turn it into a pay site)
--Oct 15 1997 Asked PK for a link to my free site
--Oct 20 1997 Asked PK again for a link to my free site
--Oct 25 1997 Begged PK for a link to my free site
--Oct 30 1997 Got a call from my host (Mindspring) that we were pushing 100 times our agreed upon rate and the invoice for the FIRST MONTH was going to be $5,000. PK listed us!!! WOOPEEEEE!
--Oct 30 1997 (15 minutes later) Turned on the new Join Pages for the members area!!! (we're in the money....we're in the money
--Oct 30 1997 (15 minutes later) Check Stats..... 20 Signups!!
--Oct 30 1997 (15 minutes later) PK terminated us because we changed to a pay site and she never replied to an email since.
Now what?
Been trying to answer that question ever since

(should give props to MikeAI, though....when things went bust with PK I met Mike and he listed us on AmateurIndex and I swear to you that from that point forward it was like taking candy from a baby.....well, until the great fall of 2002
