RIP to PersianKitty
Sadly, I just found out PersianKitty passed away this week. I don't usually post things like this but PK is an exception. There are not many people or moments in life that you can pinpoint where the rest of your life changed but PK is one of them.
Here is my PK story In the fall of 1998, I was in university and we were given internet access. It was on a slow dial-up and it was a text-based browser. One of the first things I searched up was sex or porn. The first search result was PersianKitty.com. Back then when you used a text-based browser you would see the text of a website. There were no images. Instead, images would show up as a downloadable IMAGE link. It would take 30 minutes to download an image only to find out I had downloaded a banner lol. It was so frustrating. That said I surfed to the bottom of her site and saw her text webcounter which read 2,100,000 Visitors to date. I vividly remember that number. 2,100,000 Visitors. I was blown away and intrigued. From there I stopped looking for porn. Instead, I turned my attention to starting my own website. First, I discovered out what a browser was and I did away with the text-based surfing. I learned how to code html or I should say I learned how to download someone else's code and edit it to make it look like mine. So I downloaded PK's html. Changed the logo. Uploaded the site to my university account (concordia.ca/~shap) and sought out link trades. The first person I found was Ynot Rick. We swapped links. Within a day PK's lawyer sent me a cease and desist. I couldn't believe it. She had seen my site AND she had enough money for a lawyer. This internet thing was going to be huge! From there I removed my site and decided to start over and do things right. So I watched and learned how PK listed sites and decided to build my own. It was a cold snowy Friday in November. I had a buddy over who wanted to go toss a football around. Instead, he ended up watching as I reloaded PersianKitty.com over and over and over waiting for her to update and hopefully add my site. Then it happened. Around 5pm. I had no banners on the site. Just images and a webcounter. I just watched that webcounter explode. 100 views. 500. 1000. 2000. It just kept going up. Both of us sat there watching and reloading that webcounter. It was great. I let it go for the weekend and started thinking about how I could make money from this. The following Monday morning I received a call at 8am. It was my university. They called to inform me that I was banned from ever using the school servers again. Over the weekend I had used 99.6% of the bandwidth the school had ever used. 750,000 requests. At that moment. On that call. I knew my life had changed forever. Thank You Beth. May you Rest in Peace. I'm glad I got to meet you a few years after that. You were lovely and amazing. |

R.I.P PK
One of the true pioneers of the industry. I wasn't quite at university yet when PK came about.. but certainly one of the first adult sites I had the pleasure of viewing (and later learning from). Also.. being "Persian" myself it holds a special place for me. |

This is so sad and my condolences to her family and friends Beth was someone I looked up to so much in this business and was one of the nicest people I ever had the privilege to talk to. She was a true pioneer and legend in our industry.

Beth, in 1996 gave me my first link and never looked back. She is one of two people I credit for a successful life. When I lived in Wa. we went for coffee a couple of times, and it was just a nonstop laugh-fest. A true icon is right!

R.I.P PK
I didn't really know her but did meet her once and had a short conversation with her. We are both Seattle Mariners fans and talked about that. She seemed really nice. Certainly one of the OG's of the game. She will be missed. |

More than a pioneer in the Adult Industry, Beth was an amazing woman and friend. I can't put into words how much I've grown to love and appreciate her, especially over the last 6-7 years as our friendship moved from the occasional online interaction to numerous in person visits.
Oddly enough, I've shared a meal with 2 different GFYers, at the same restaurant, at different times and now both of those people are deceased. I've only been to this restaurant 3 times. Careful baddog, I think you may have been there with me once. JFK JD Obenberger Persian Kitty I've never lost so many friends in 1 year....And that's just the ones from Adult. R.I.P. Beth, I miss you already. |

I read a book about the domain "sex.com". I think that was the name of the book.
Anyways. They mention persionkitty in like a short paragraph. I remember thinking I wanted to hear more about her story.
