The History of GFY
My husband first registered in 2001 and had a long sleeve GFY T-Shirt sent to him by Lensman as being one of the first 50 to register on GFY.
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, cancer) 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?

Paul had cancer but his actual cause of death was from Heart Failure. I know it's anal to write that, but even his wife said it was heart failure.
One of the best photographers in the world for Adult Images, hands down, ever. I updated it for you.

Killswitch: Programmer, affiliate (Dead, inside)
I wish I still had my GFY shirt, mine was long sleeve red one, so not the first 50 but a later stage. I think I originally joined in late 2001.

Lots of good people dead. Too bad this industry eats its own.

Didn't realize Turboface and Turboangel were scammers. I knew they split up and had some financial struggles. Also Mayya, your English is vastly improved from all your previous posting, are you sure this isn't your boyfriend posting this? |

Most of us are crazy in some way, shape or form and the adult industry isn't exactly 'easy' on a persons overall mental health and wellbeing, its probably one of the most stress inducing career choices a person can make, learning new marketing techniques regularly, adjusting products being promoted, dealing with shady sponsors, surfers, affiliates, billing companies that go bust or delay payments, programs closing sites down left and right, the list of things that are negative is endless... That said, there are a ton of positives to be had, id venture a guess it depends on the person and how well they can handle stress, personal life and balancing it with the adult industry.
I do wonder how the suicide rate when it comes to those working 'online' marries up to those offline , like-to-like figure wise. |
