Yep, an SSN or an EIN is a requirement. Can't make any exceptions for that one or the IRS will get us.

We actually do a quick background investigation on all affiliates before we approve them now. You would be amazed at how much fraud that has cut down on.

Oh God I remember those "award sites" too. And how proud I was back in '97 to put that button on my first little free site. LOL

Hi Lee, how are you? I haven't seen you since Los Angeles 3 or 4 years ago.

Get out!!! What do you do with the SSN? Not a lot of people know that it is a federal crime to use a SSN for anything other than Social Security business. That law does go mostly ignored.

Who was that big award site in 97 or so? I won it one day & sat around & watched my stats go thru the roof

Do you remember the award by Lapis,"Capt Smut"..that was a big one when I first came on the scene...

As it turns out,one of the two folks behind this, "Capt. Smut" award button was Quentin Boyer, formerly a Director of Topbucks for the last 5 years, and now VP of Marketing at XBang as of last Dec..

I was SO proud to get my Capt. Smut button!

Red, Honey I am doing great and dumped the red hair in 2001, back to beachie blonde tones since I fish alot on the boat.

Divorced the wife of 16 years in 2001, and happily single :-)

Just resigned from CE- in Dec, and happy as hell with XBang...Lots of major life changes, but most welcomed ones!

How are you my darling?

I don't even remember who I got the awards from, but I had a bunch and since my site was my erotic writing, I took them as high accolades indeed.

I'm glad things are going so well for you. You look great as a blonde.
Things are going terrific for me. I got engaged, complete with a beautiful ring and I'll be getting married next January.
My affiliate program has its official launch on Monday so everything is real good.

Early 97, I used to give out the James And Victoria Award of Excellence. The award winners didn't get much traffic from me but I did get a whole lot from them.

Thanks Lee. It just goes to prove that life didn't end last month when I turned 50 like I was afraid it would. Though a 34 year old fiance' keeps me very young.

Sponsors were paying like 10 cents per click then! So we would use the infamous "Next Page" blind link and would just site there reloading our stats every few minutes watching the money column go up. We made around $700 our very first month and it seemed sort of surreal. There was just so much easy traffic for everyone then that it was actually difficult to not make good money.

Eventually the college asked me to take down the site and I had to learn about getting a server and my own domain name, and actually paying for content, which was a big expensive commitment back then! Soon AVS became huge and I did that for many years. AdultCheck and PornoPass put me through college lol.

Do any of you guys still have your original sites or old banners?

you dont have to miss picposts, I have one, http://realpicpost.com it isnt as big as um.. slutpost or sexypost were, or even pussyboard, but given time... heh... ok no foolin it will never be as big again, but there are still people new to the internet that like picposts because they dont know they can get more free content elsewhere. They are more likely to buy, but there are less of them....

sorry for the ramble, but I miss picposts too!

I did not think the industry would go in the direction it did but I should have known based on the evolution of porn mgs, VHS, CD-ROM and now DVD....

I love this business, and the sky is not falling by any means. Porn will always make money...it just takes more work than it did for us when we all had only 1 site to our name...

Interesting times to see how we evolved...and who leads the way and who set us on the path...

Any old timers around?

You have to have some views on how things have evolved.

Do you think our old business strategies still have value?

We don't use the SSN for the background check.

It's just used for 1099 purposes. Just like every US based sponsor is required to do.
