Not sure if youre new or a fake nick. Just noticed you this last year and I tend to match people with traits. Havent figured you much out so I assume youre new.
Paul has marked himself. He has marked himself 'mostly' for the the trolls. Sometimes, vets are trolls when it comes to paul. Sometimes its just, sometimes its wrong. Paul has said some goofy shit! The magic join links is forever branded in gfy history.
But..
Some people forget the good Markham has done. Is he goofy and old, fuck yes! Is he a bad guy, no. Have I ever heard Paul Markham and associates are ripping someone off... no.
message to peeps...
He has fought where other have not. Remember that. Poke fun. good times. but dont insult.

The reason some don't like me is from day one of coming online I was shocked at the level of the porn everyone was selling. And still pretty shocked. Then I didn't make a secret of the fact. I* told people they were selling a bad product.
Was I right or wrong?
Well when I was selling our sets for 10 times non exclusive, than online shooters were getting. I was either a better shooter or better businessman.
Also know the porn buyers are repeat buyers. They're a small % of men and need to be respected as customers, not thought of as idiots to be ripped off. Yes many do think like that. I know selling them a good product keeps them buying, either from that site or from the method of supply. The only impulse is "I'm going to buy this site this month. Because it looks better." Just like they did when browsing a video store or you do when choosing many regular bought items.
I didn't agree with giving away the product for free when trying to sell it, didn't agree selling porn was hard, didn't agree with people who thought they should get paid so much for a join and get every tool possible.
I thought free porn was costing 100,000 of joins. In that people were getting off for free and not needing to buy. I never believed traffic was King. Content is far more important, because that what we sell, what the customer wants, makes him come online, makes him cum and come again. In truth the customer is King and his needs, tell him he wants to be treated like cattle and he will tell you what he thinks.
I don't take BS easily and BS on boards is prolific.
Problem was I was talking to people who thought any old content would do, were only involved in shifting traffic from A to B and were expert bullshitters.
Magic Joins. We had 2 processors in those days. The major one was and still is CCBILL. We had 2 buy links on the join page. CCBILL worked fine. But no one was listening.
Do I care? If anyone thinks a member gives a flying fuck who shot the content, then they're deluded. Unless it's Gonzo.
Look around at you at those who have lasted 34 years in porn and online for 10 years plus. Trolls. I've seen so many of them disappear. Lately they seem to be an endangered species. 3 years after closing the business, we still make money.
See sig.
