Jonathan,
1) download latest version of ICQ in both places

2) log to ICQ on your home computer

all your contact info will be there under the latest version

Serge

J$tyle$ -

Upgrade to 2001b. it stores your contacts on the ICQ server and will load on any new computer. You can even access it from the web. lol

I hate ICQ! ;o)

Can somebody tell how to save my ICQ contacts from my office computer, and load them on my home office computer if it's possible.

I just spent 15 minutes trying to figure it out, obviously to no avail :o(

Thanks in advance, Opranauts!

At one time, everyone was a "young buck" so everyone could fight without any big brothers breaking it up.

Now, the MAN is suppressing the youth movement and discouraging inventiveness.

My theory on how you know A board is THE board...

THE board is the board where people post msgs when they are trying to contact people urgently...from airport lounges even...cos they KNOW that if the person they're trying to contact doesn't read that board, SOMEONE who knows them will...they just KNOW that is the board that is first read, most refreshed, by everyone.
Used to be Netpond in it's heyday...now it's Oprano...was prolly Ynot before Netpond, but Ynot's board heyday is before my time...

Serge - who knows. I guess he could have made a few traffic deals from Sept - Dec 1995?

That was before my time.. so I don't know for sure. I only know what I was told... which for all I know could have been wrong!

sharky We Know The Truth!

Guess I was right.. and so was Serge. I forgot about iGallery being called ITN. lol
*****************************

Sharky,
we might be right and we might be wrong....
if Ron had sub acounts and paid webmasters to sign up under him,
than his claim that he was paing webmasters since 1995 was TECHNICALLY correct one.

I was paying webmasters on their sub acounts for phone sex in 1995, but I never thought of that as "paying webmasters"
;-)))

Very good finding, R3K, BTW,
sheds lot of light on some history folks like to shove under the carpet today

"The victims... suffered fever, cough, exhaustion and chest pain, symptoms similar to those of the plague"

Sounds like a typical webmaster on too much coffee and not enough sleep :-)

Alex
RawAlex

wow R3K - that goes back a bit:

-----------------------------
Fantasyman: In February 1996 we launched the member section of CyberErotica. This was after failing at just having folks download ITN's software and trying to make a living at that. When we had just the video conferencing download we were free. We then created a member's section because it wasn't paying off. Too much bandwidth, not enough calls to the software.
-------------------------------

Guess I was right.. and so was Serge. I forgot about iGallery being called ITN. lol

ok,
here is my experience

from GFY which gets about double amount of posts than Oprano
the first day I got there we got 86 clicks on 200 posts thread

today numbers
(and I don't make 200+ threads there anymore)
it's about 5-8 clikcs from ocasional posts.

AllOfThem
steady 30+/- clicks a day BEFORE and AFTER Dravyk started coverage

SexCounter - steady 56-62 hits a day

SexHit webmaster stats section:
18-30 hits a day

FlyntDigital resource section - averages 25 hits a day

Clickthru rate from oprano.com to the main board - about 75%

Russian Submitter - 5-15 daily

I don't know if this fully answers the question I was asked,
but those are the numbers to munch upon.


Serge

Lol Serge. I think i got the same email and thats how i hooked up with him. I already had amateurhardcore banners on my site(just barely)along with the xpics promo program and i was contacted in email by him. they set up a middle page with a digits.com counter and I was going to be paid like 1/2 cent per click. I started working for him shortly after(my site was taken down by my isp) and never received a check for the clicks. lol.. but I was getting my $250/week. I thought I was rich!

Sharky,
none of us knew CyberErotica 'till we all got spam from Ron offering to buy traffic pre-paid.

I put them on, as I was having "battles" with Al at the moment

Paul was the one who was making calls about checks, traffic, etc...

who knows,
if Al hadn't come with click thru proggy, we might still all got pre-paid and counted based upon access log

Any other thoughts?

which can be summed as:

1) More Lurkers?

2) Better Name Recognition?

3) BOTH

4) NONE of the above
==============================

Can I use Meni's standard answer?

Oprano Rocks, Man!

Seriously, I would think from previous experience, number 3. Also add word of mouth, as the place to be, to be seen, to be an anon on.

Let's face it. You know when you have a kicking board, when the ANONS show up.

I would call Netpond for example when Nick and I ran it as a prime example of a kicking board.

I would call Netsurpise as an example of a non kicking board when it opened it's doors to anons. No one bothered.

My 2 cents.

I don't remember the specifics of testing iGallery's. It rings a bell in my mind, but I couldn't honestly tell you the timeline.

Anthony,
that wasn't a question,
the question was:
Made some posts on a few boards and received by FAR
the most clicks from Oprano (limited test but pretty
big difference).


Are there a huge number of lurkers?


Do you think part of effect is due to "That's where I
hang out" and therefore people know me?

Serge, it is quite funny. Payouts to webmasters in 1995? I don't think so. I am pretty sure it was 1996... at least all the stories I heard were about 1996. I started working for them in Aug-sept 1996 (i think we started talking in august and i started sept 6,1996). I was brought in to help then webmaster Mike H who was there since Cybererotica as we know it began in Feb 1996(if my memory is correct).
