He attended many GFY gatherings.

Recently with a few other "older" webmasters he was on a podcast reliving the history of online adult industry.

How many other places have gone by the wayside?

GONE:
PornResource
iBill
CozyFrog


DEAD:
Paul Markham: Photographer, probably one of the best ever (Heart Failure)
David Lace: Photographer, one of the largest ever collections (Heart attack)
JFPDude: Content guy, photographer (Drug Overdose)
Turboface: Traffic, scammer (Patrick Tither, suicide)
TurboAngel: Traffic, scammer (Last information was rehab, then silence)
LowKeyTx: Photographer, arrested for child p***, (James Greuel, Cancer)
GraphicsByTia: Graphics, Banners, Buttons (Suicide)

So many webmasters have died from this forum that actually helped shape the adult industry, it is now a skeleton of what it once was.

Looking at PRE 2005 webmasters, how many are actually left here on GFY?


Boneprone
Lensman
SexToyKing


anyone else left?
Didn't Paul Markham die from cancer?
