In network theory, Serge is what is known as a hub. If you mapped out all the connections between people, Serge would be surrounded by a thicket of connections. I don't think that's an accident. Serge is the Mel Blanc of internet porn.
HAHA Yeah we should do a 6 degrees of seperation with Serge...

He has been around....

put up my first porn site on tripod.com in Nov 96 after making few bucks on a mainstream site.
got a 6 cent check from IEG,
first domain registered on June 1st, 97
Slav you have built up a pretty impressive domain portfolio since then!!

Wish I would had been smart with domains, one of the few mistakes I regret.... I blame Webfather... he was preaching about them, but he was such a dork - who would listen? hahaha Guess who is the dork now!!!

What a kewl thread

March 1, '99 for me. I had just quit a job working for the credit bureau as a skip tracer. I was tired of hunting down people to pay their bills...lol.

I was a total chat junkie from '95 'til then. I also had my very own personal geocities site too, made with Netscape Composer. I had no idea there was actual CODE behind the pages I made...hahaha.

I had a 'dancer' friend who asked me to put up a site for her. So, I started researching and after a couple of weeks, realized I could make far more money making my own sites, than a site for her...haha.

I started on a freehost too. Then I finally splurged and bought a few domains and a $25 a month host. I still wasn't making a whole lot of money, but then things turned around when I sold my first domain for $2k. I was estatic!!

I took the money and invested it into more domains, content etc etc. Best thing I ever did.

Worked with snoops for RookieClass for 2 years and then landed my current position with CQ2 and I've never looked back.

As for Serge, I didn't meet him until 2001 I believe. Snoops introduced us at one of the shows.

But my meeting with his beautiful wife ladylaw was pretty memorable for me. I was at a show in Vancouver. I was at the hotel wandering around and saw her sitting at a piano in the corner of a room, playing. I had no idea who she was. I walked over and we started talking and then we played a simple duet together...haha.

Low and behold, she is now Serge's wife.

I look back now and see how much people's lives have changed in the time I've been doing this. From marriages to having babies and even death.

This biz really isn't as big as it may seem.

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



--T


(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

6pm, thursday, route a1a, we slowly go out for dinner and whom do i see in my back side mirror?

jeff from mr cash!

what are the chnces of meeting like that????

Serge...

I think it was June 2000...I was in LA with RB and Fold to do some golfing. We were riding down the interstate in a RENTAL convertible when a HUGE, BLACK, 4X4 SUBURBAN with tinted windows and big Hella Lights and one of those push grills on the front comes rolling up behind us and tailgating us and honking and flashing ALL the lights. I was scared as shit. RB, in typical Brooklyn fashion, begins to cuss and holler and flip birds out the roof at this idiot who is threatening our lives. We came to a stop light at the next exit and the truck slides to stop directly to our left. I duck so that RB will got shot instead of me....when J$tyle$ sticks his head out the window and says "Sup?"

I almost cried


Figure the mathematical probablilty of people from THREE separate states driving in a FOURTH state in a RENTAL car and having someone from a FIFTH state roll up on them on the INTERSTATE. (Keep in mind there was no tradeshow, no nothing....we were out there golfing and Jonathon was either interviewing or had just started with CE (driving Ron's Suburban).

Oh, I have advertising venues at my disposal, you know that


If I know Joe as well as I think I do he will be a valid competitor....not like some of these people that think they can become a host with no investment. If you look around GFY for the past 72 hours I think there are threads on 2 or 3 different hosts that have gone bye-bye.

HAHAHAHA.....oh man Anthony...I was going to say something about you too *blush*.....yup....you DEFINITELY were there for me in my beginnings....I hadn't a CLUE! haha BUT, you gotta ask those questions to SOMEBODY right? Just glad it was youuuuuu! (where the hell is Moose these days anywayyyyyyy??)

I remember sitting at my puter talking to you on ICQ and thinking 'geez, this guy lives in FL and I'm in Vancouver. We'll NEVER meet in real life...'

Of course I was totally wrong (thankfully). You ended up moving to Van. and we've met and had lunch on a couple of occasions.

What a trip down memory lane!

I was just a web surfer back in 97 that had (as most surfers do) saved up a ton of nudie pictures on my pc.

I was working at Pepsi and had no clue even how to build a website so One day I clicked on the Ynot button on PK's website and was dumb enough to post on the board that I had a ton of images and wanted to know what to do with them!

Well, Serge being Serge, jumped all over my newbie ass!

I started teaching myself html and registered the domain xxxwebmaster.com and put up my first site. Pushrod and Spanky gave me my first links - then PK, then a few others and every Monday I went over to Colin's site and stole his thumbnails and pictures cause we all had the same ZMaster content.

I met Jonathan and the WebMistress and attended the show down in Florida where I watched Serge get a lap dance at Denny's.

I was hooked and have been doing this ever since

At the end of this month I will have been in the adult business for 1 month! I started in mainstream hosting in 1997 so I do have some experience. Looking forward to this new avenue I have started down.

Sweet T, I remember first dealing with you.... I thought we were going to have a hard time, but once we ironed out things, it has been a great relationship!!

I also have to give you props, because while I helped you a little, you have alway remembered it, and have always gone out of your way for me and to return 100 fold....

You are indeed a class act... I am very proud of how much you have achieved ( through your hard work and intellect), and am happier to consider you a good friend.

One thing this industry have brought all of us besides riches, is great friendships that will last a lifetime!

( now back to watching the lifetime channel.... :P )

Why does it scare, but not surprise me that you know that


If it wasn't for Julia Roberts being in that movie and your southern heritage I'd call for an estrogen check

..including the "cold water" ones
;-)))
Serge,

I was taught to respect my elders and besides, Richard would kill me...

I found one of the toy pistol pics, edited it some to protect identity...lol


I'll have to look for those others (her fawning all over you) though; been a LONG time... could even be on the pc I donated to the church... lol

Tad took those pics back in Oct of 97, so maybe Vick can get ya some copies... Tad used to own sadam.com back then too, wonder if he had sense to keep it? What's the story on the Tad'ster there Vick?

( now back to watching the lifetime channel.... :P )
Aw, shucks Mike.....

I tell people all the time that my circle of friends in the business gets smaller and smaller every day and I am proud to include you in that list.

Now why do I feel the urge for a sandwich and sparkling water for lunch?

I may have some copies somewhere but trying to find them between 6K+ not filed hardcopy actual photo images is more than I'm willing to try

As for Tad - haven't heard from him in about 2 years, Last I spoke with him he was selling off some domains and trying to get together some work transferring government paper to computer files
Hell if I know what happened to him since

I actually got into the adult business with a free story site in 1995-6 I believe through ClickCash or ClickBucks.. I set up 2 robots, one would sit in 10 different IRC channels, and send the nicknames of people who entered to another robot. That robot wouldn't be in any channels, but would send messages to the people who joined. They couldn't kick me, because I wasn't in the channel.

I helped start MyDesktop.com and 12 other sites when I was 14 (HardwareCentral.com, OzoneGames.com, Win98.net, FileFarm.com, WinPlanet.com, VirtualDR.com, etc.) and then started TwoMobile.com, then figured I'd take a stab at adult again. I really enjoy being in this business. My girlfriend is getting scared when I say I want to start shooting content and getting a studio and such, so I'm a bit confused there, but whatever.. I'll do what I wanna anyways.

Glad to be here and meet you all,

Gosh. i feeel like sharing.

My fraternity brother and his hot girlfriend were making like 20k a month in early 98 doing a live webcam site of their own.. collegecouplecam i think it was.. i was full time in college and working nights as tech support at dell.

long story short.. the girlfriend went nuts and left.. he had members to satisfy.. so i ran some ads and found him a new couple.. took 30% of the gross.. saw the margins and started duplicating as fast as we could.. at the top we had something like 10 24/7 live couple cam sites going..

partner and i had very different views on where to take things.. needless to say he is working at an enterprise rent-a-car now and i'm stuck here telling you about it ;-)

All I want’s a girl to make me some mac and cheese
All I want’s a girl to make me some mac and cheese

Just straight up mac with no franks or peas
But every girl who’s made me mac and cheese
Has always turned out to be a violent sociopath

All I want’s a girl to make me some brussels sprouts
All I want’s a girl to make me some brussels sprouts

She’d know me inside and out
But every girl who’s made me brussels sprouts
Has always turned out to be a violent sociopath

All I want’s a girl to make me iced tea from a powder
All I want’s a girl to make me iced tea from a powder

But when I yell for joy, she yells louder
’Cause every girl who’d made me iced tea from a powder
Has always turned out to be a violent sociopath

All I want’s a girl who’s not a violent sociopath

All I want’s a gril who’s not a violent sociopath

Love her ’til my dying breath
Man, fuck the food — I’ll starve to death
If I could just find a girl who’s not a violent sociopath

Does hocking scanned playboy pics on a dialup BBS count as online adult biz? If so, that puts me back into the 80's. I can remember being dazzled by the way Miss February looked in a grey scale Macpaint format. Before that we were limited to printing the girlies out on the printer using nothing but ASCII characters and then getting way back from the printout at which time all of those characters would make out the shape of a nude babe!

Had a day job that put me on the web VERY early, vintage 1993 when Mosaic was the only game in town and pretty much the only way to get on the web was bring in your own T-1 or frame and run your own servers. My oldest domain has a creation date of 3/24/1993.

Dabbled with putting naked pics on the net for a couple of years using it mostly to feed back to subscriptions on the BBS. In the early days the porn action wasn't on the web, most people had shell accounts via companies like Netcom that they used for email and newsgroups.

FM popped my advertising cherry with FastCash sometime around late 96/early 97. Things took off from there.

First adult trade show would've been InternetExpo/Vegas in 97 or 98, I forget which. It was the one held in the Monte Carlo back when the show still had a heavy 900# influence. I remember that show was the one where the booths were split between two locations in the hotel and a lot of people failed to even notice that there were two halls.

Geez...I'm feeling really old now.
Hell Puppy be talking about NGS [nasty grey shit] and gifdot.

And Peaches if youd get out more you could see the Goldstein's at my office.
Need a number?
