Who were the first TEN people in adult internet business? - GoFuckYourself.com

jaYMan · 12-17-2008, 10:37 AM

I'm curious, I think I know a few, but I'm missing some.

So, who was here when this whole fucking thing began?
Show your age =)

MichaelP · 12-17-2008, 10:41 AM

I would put Ron Levy (CE) in the First Ten

Also Rob from (RIP) Babenet

Wizzo · 12-17-2008, 10:44 AM

Serge, Ron, PK?

CyberAgeGary · 12-17-2008, 10:47 AM

Seth from IEG?

Jman · 12-17-2008, 10:50 AM

GreenGuy and Jim ???

Jman · 12-17-2008, 10:53 AM

Dragon King is up there for sure.

Jman · 12-17-2008, 10:53 AM

Meat...

BigJB and JoeE

james_clickmemedia · 12-17-2008, 10:55 AM

I started in 1997 and know that other started in 1996 from what I remember

EscortBiz · 12-17-2008, 10:57 AM

the ATN guys

PowerCum · 12-17-2008, 10:58 AM

Not sure who were the first ten... but the first 3 were Donald Davies, Paul Baran and Leonard Kleinrock.

Without them there wouldn't be adult internet at all.

kektex · 12-17-2008, 11:04 AM

Someone should make some sort of book or website with the history of the adult online business.
Since I´m a newbie (started sometime around 2004-5) I´m not familiar with many of those names or the sites they run.
I see Serge mentioned every now and then and I have to admit I don´t know who he is.

I know Persian Kitty because I have read her story somewhere. I also remember recently reading about some of the bad business that went on in the early days (xpics or something like that).

I would really love to read the story of some of the online porn pioneers like the hun,PK,serge, etc.

I remember WebSplash and one other site called Chicken Ranch or something like that from back then.

This would have been when Netscape 1 was in beta and on an annual subscription basis. Yep, you paid for browsers and their updates.

The Duck · 12-17-2008, 12:00 PM

Thats an interesting question. I would like to follow it up with; where are they now?

Zuzana Designs · 12-17-2008, 12:01 PM

A book would be cool.. The pioneers of the bizz.. and see where they are now.. Would be very interesting..

Kenny B! · 12-17-2008, 12:45 PM

Carol Cox was one of the first amateurs, she was up in the bbs days

Far-L · 12-17-2008, 12:48 PM

And if it weren't for Alien then NONE OF THEM WOULD BE WHERE THEY ARE TODAY!!!

Ayla_SquareTurtle · 12-17-2008, 12:55 PM

I have no idea, but one of them must have uploaded that picture of the dude with a parrot perching on his dick, because I saw a b/w printed version of that at a friend's house when I was in middle school.

CyberAgeGary · 12-17-2008, 12:55 PM

IF it wasnt for Al Gore, none of us would be on the internets right now.

We were doing bbs promotions on the General and a few others way back when but truly, our first site was monsveneris.com in 1996 -disaster, ripped off by our outsourced webmasters

I remember ATK was around, Carol Cox, a few others, classics like Busty Amateurs... (but i guess that was more like '97 or so)

Busty came up and asked me to shoot for them.....

I looked down at my chest and asked, "what's the name of your site?"

BV · 12-17-2008, 01:51 PM

Of the first 10, how many of them used stolen content?

IME, 100% unless it was an amateur site using their own content.

Back in 95 or so I would routinely go through 1000's of automatically downloaded BBS content for one of the early major sites (one no one's mentioned yet and I'm not going to be the one that does now

). I had to categorize them and then send them to the guy who put in all the content. Zmaster was the first content seller I can remember and that wasn't until 96ish IIRC.

We probably know some of the same people - I was in audiotext 1992-96. Actually I guess even before then if you include when I was working for MCI and an ATT reseller and 900 guys were some of our customers.

We go back to 1995 for hosting and our own sites in 1996. If I remember right, it was a $100 per domain to register with internic.
