Guesses?

I bet there are many people here who KNOW the answer?

Well I have to guess:
Since hun started linking image galleries and indexes (back then it was hotlinking actually, lol). First people got so angry because hun linked them without permission and it was a bandwidth shock. Later however people started making money with this method

97?

am I close?

Redshoe, by that time I had already closed my TGP because I wasnt succesful with it

Well what is considered BIZ actually?
Is TGP2 already a biz?
If it is, I'll stick with my 1997

I am pretty sure I was surfing Persinakitty.com back in 1995, but it wasn't TGP but LL. Don't know why I realized I can make money off porn too as much as 5 years later - shit!

Was 95/96. It was relatively small with regular free sites still being the choice method.

I'm going with late '95 early '96 as well because I remember surfing them before I left the states. Little did i know I would be doing them down the line.

http://web.archive.org/web/199802081...com/links.html

this is from 1998

Notice the low amount of daily links.
Notice linking to index pages!

This is how TGP's started. Linking to directories that had no index files. I read in our newspaper back then that a SCHOOLBOY was charged $10k because some of these sites had linked his nude babes directory.

That schoolboy maybe suffered for years, but TGPS are alive and well!

I wish I could go back in time to 95... I'd take some software back with me like AutoGallery and imagine how popular my site would be today!
