I love it when I am honored for nothing more than not kicking the bucket.

I am pretty old

yea i think its all about maintaining data and content integrity. you can change everything around the content and data as long as its reading and writing the same data and content.

changing data or content structure is a bit more work :Oh crap

i have a lot of scripts running in the background crunching data as its coming in. we have an almost live stream of traffic stats (2-3 minutes lag).

unban JUICY D

Oldish certainly!

What happen to juicy d links

Well, I launced my paysite TrueAmateurModels.com 13 years ago, and before that, I ran a couple of sites ..starting in the year 2001. So yeah, I suppose I am kinda old school. The paysite is obviously still kicking too ...and with plenty of members. I only wish that I had started back in 1995 or so. I hear that those were the "golden years". :)

Nope.

I feel old

i dunno about the 90s, but you were in business during what is considered the online porn gold rush from 2000-2006. it made a lot of millionaires but they are a small fraction compared to the number of sites that went up.

i've been in a couple millionaire flows - and a hell of a lot of them that weren't lol

my pov was always that porn is better than corporate work. the industry almost dried up until about last year. now we're seeing a resurgence in the paysite market, mainly in niches, especially gay niches.

2004 in da house! *^_^*

Started filming for my first site in '99, went live early 2000, signed up here 2003

That's interesting. I noticed sales dropping a bit over the last couple of years, but not that much really. It's been picking up lately too.
So you think that you are seeing a resurgence in the paysite market? Can you go a little more into detail? How exactly so?
I am just curious to hear about your thoughts on the matter.

Resugence might be due to renewed confidence in the US economy. Maybe if tax reform gets passed, then poeple will have more expendable income.

that will definitely help :thumbsup

i still gotta check out your new sites. i ended up coding all weekend. rebuilt the 'views' script to pull from traffic data instead of browser clicks. 100% accurate view stats now.

i have stats on a couple hundred wide ranging sites and those indicate much better market health lately. i've seen some $1k days for sites that haven't had those days since last December.

that's not the real indicator for me tho. threads like this are showing more interest by veterans to get back into the game. most of the guys that really understand internet porn - and made early money - took off or retired and kept their knowledge with them. Even JT was greatly helpful to people but he's too rich to work now. Shap is back and so is Phil Flash. i think we'll see some good growth in 2018.

there's other stats and indicators but the main thing is renewed interest on the production side as well as the buyer side.

#porncms

hey Phil - these shots still look great. did you run them thru a filter?

2005 dude here . do i count as an old-schooler here?

Your pictures from "back whenever" are still badly etched into my brain :Oh crap

Nicely done
I'm pretty sure that Shemp is still doing that as well

He said awhile back on here that he's still alive as well I mean

Old schoolers are coming off the grave. lol

I did the BBS thing back in the early 90s and now this. I feel really old.

Thanks for the compliment!

No filters man, I may have edited a blemish or two in Photoshop, maybe a piece of fuzz that was on the floor, and then took it into Lightroom and manually adjusted the white balance, exposure, color, and sharpness. No smoothing or filters.

I have tried the Portraiture smoothing filters, and in my opinion they do not work for sets of pictures. It looks as if someone ran them through a filter and it just looks fake to me. Even if I turn the settings all the way down. I try to avoid batch processing with filters for the most part.

However, I do like to play with the Portraiture filters on close up portraits or images that I decide to make black and white for fun. Those can turn out pretty cool, but I don't do that for set content.

Sorry man, you Just missed the cutoff of Dec 31st 11.59pm 2004 :helpme

a reference from MrMaxwell is always welcomed ...:thumbsup

timeless :thumbsup

cum on my face

Talk to Bladewire??

I'm as old skool as they get! Been doing my site and others since 2003. Paysites took a hit but I don't think they are going away. Would be hard for the average girl to start a solo site now I think, but networks are here to stay. I am super optimistic about 2018!

Late '90s, lol? Newbs.

Submitted my first gallery in late 98: The Hun, Sex Hungry Joe's, Adult Buffet, Persian Kitty, The Stag Party, et al. I lost the password to my first account here, so I just made a new account in 2002, when I started full-time work in the industry.

Time sure flies.

:thumbsup

Still kicking.

Pretty sure almost nobody that posts here can say they were around as long as me. Surely there are some exceptions that I've forgotten.

1995

I'm in this fucking business since 1997, not with the same enthusiasm and success than before but it still occupy my old days... :stoned

Who you calling old? Is this Lensman's fake nic?

1991 for me. If you haven't made or sold porn on VHS, you're the new generation from my perspective.

Distributed in 35mm from the New-York producers ....

with all this experience floating around the board, surely we can invigorate the market in 2018.

my marketing work lately has been managing data flows to *try* to get a realtime temperature of the market. im hoping to find some bigger data flows next year so the graphs and charts are more useful to more site owners.

peace and prosperity!

I ran a board back in the early 90's - I doubled it's speed when I got a new 56K modem - I think it ran something called Cheetah? - Then I discovered AVS on the 'www' in the late 90's - Made a fortune - Spent a fortune and the rest is history...

To reinvigorate the market, we need to create the higher demand that existed before.

Minimize free content.

Star out the titties, pussy, and booty hole.

One to two minute trailers.

When it's not free, people will pay.

That's all we need to do.

It's simple economics... if the supply is low... the demand increases.

Tell that to the tube people... even they would make more money by promoting the sites that produce the content.

I remember in my 20's and I got my first computer. I almost lost my job at the Post Office because I was up until 3am downloading porn pictures to floppy disks. I was getting to work late quite often. But I remember the awe I had when I would see certain kinds of outfits on girls, doing certain things, etc. If I would have had expendable income in my 20's I would have had at least two to three porn memberships every month.

But now, even though I have some expendable income, I still go to Google and search "skinny white brunette piledriver gang bang" and I watch a 30 minute video and go to sleep satisfied. If it's there and free... why buy?

The more people that pull back the reigns... the more money there will be.

Perfect example. I just updated a set last night with some stars on the preview pics and the nudity was censored in my trailer video... guess what... I woke up to a friggin really good night of sales. I am not bragging... I am trying to inspire fellow webmasters, and increase the demand.

yea google promotes piracy. tubes and torrents will rank above a site called "skinnywhitebrunettepiledrivergangbang.com". that battle can't be won unless there's a law making those sites illegal.

some paysites do make money on tubes, but the conversion rate is something like 50,000 to 1. its definitely harder separating surfers from their money these days. they need value and titillation.

i think you have to get the customers before they get sucked into the tubes. email, social, direct contact, word of mouth. then use the 'dont give away the store" method you've mastered, along with some type of personal connection.

#porncms

Ya me im a wealth of knowledge in online porn. Ill tell you whos crooked who talks shit and how to make money if your willing to put in the time. Its not easy but if you know what your doing and hook up with the right people and dont be an asshole you can do good. Thats the bottom line. Have a nice day

You have Traffic Holder in your sig?

2004 counts?

This is why cams work so well. The user gets 'original' and personal content. And can also direct the porn movie :2 cents:
