with the Internet. I look fondly back on the early 90s, with my 14.4 connection to 'FreeNet'. My pine mail and my lynx browser.. it was all so simple then. Even before that I ran a BBS, remember those? Ahh, what fun it was being a sysop, the grand ruler of your own little world (I miss playing L.O.R.D!!). These boards remind me sometimes of the message forums that I had running... how strage it was to wait a day to read new posts to the threads (I only did a message run once a day). Trying out all the lastest ProBoard mods. And porn.. ohh I remember the first time I got onto an adult BBS.. all the low quality jpegs I could handle

Anyone have any good stories from the olden days, memories to share?

Getting top 10 keywords for free sex and a buttload of other variations on Alta Vista, Hotbot, Lycos, and some others and making a killing off of exits I had to both MaxCash and True Cash as well as my turnkey paysite I had.


Then some fucktard spammed the se's and took pratically every position in the top 100 or 120 or so and after that it was much harder to get top positions. <_<

Running a few adult bbs's with Remote Access and Wildcat board software, using a 1200 then a 2400 modem, hooked into a switchboard from within a large financial institution and also from a nurses home too

Designing the layout in ascii and ansi graphics with "thedraw" which came later on, and running up phone bills of £2k plus a month on transfers

I remember the first time I had sex
It was dark, it was late, I was nervous ........











........ I was alone



My first adult internet experience was in early 1997, going with a female friend who was going to shoot for ALS Scan
The shoot was in a nice suite at a local hotel, they are totally professional, they come with an entire staff including females to assist the model
I got bored, went shopping came back a few hours later, they were still shooting (ALS does some fun/interesting/unusual stuff - public nudity, odd object insertion, fisting)
The model is fisting herself (I'm in the other room at the buffet, eating, drinking and playing video games) and the photographer yells for me "Hey you got to see this, now check out the speclum insertion"

We watched as later the photos went up on the site and figured we could do the same
So with under $4,000 invested and no knowledge of the adult internet's workings (but I had 12 years experience as a marketing director) we opened the paysite Cloud 9 Entertainment on August 18, 1997

Fuck, here I am almost 8 years later
What the fuck did I do wrong?
Don't bother to tell me I know already

HAHAHA I burnt about 3 thousand 5.25 disks and about 2.5 thousand 3.5 inch diskettes the other day, remembered seeing "thedraw" amongst them and feeling all nostalgic
Think about 5 1/4 floppies makes me think of my first computer: a cloned apple II with external 5 1/4 drive and 12" amber monochrome monitor. That system had THE BEST games.. Indiana Jones.. The Dark Crystal.. Ribbitt.. Lode Runner... not ot mention the games you could buy (just as a book) and program yourself by copying the code, I wrote a missle-command style game great way to learn basic!!

I got online in 98 but it took a whole year of pulling myself off before I realised that money could be made... I could kick myself now...

Wildcat... what a piece of shit.

PCBoard,Clark Devo., QWK, Rnet, Sparky,Robert Vostryes, ABBL, Jack Rickard sux cox, seeing Lee Noga pushed scanned pictures and the "buy content issue at OneBBSCon,seeing Far L pose in the Giffy Girls CDs, and the integration of newsgroups and email into the message bases into a little BBS that Playboy, Penthouse and Screw magazine called "a rude and vulgar BBS"... pushing into a domain called gonzo.com via dial up on Holonet, using WAFFLE to push the UUCI/UUCO into Ed Hoppers conversion utility and registering domain names for free.

Of course I used a bang path ! alias prior to that before even fucking with domains. Remember? We were playing with this place before it was open to the public.
