Dial up modems, circle jerk sites, icq and shaving traffic by sponsors, those were the good old days.

Nope, but Cyberthrill looked like a winner hehe, it did not last long, this really was in the dialup / Geocities 56k days, back before free porn online, they paid for everything, you could literally could put a page with a title, blurb and a couple of banners and make and good amount r93v3

The days of AOL 5 and a 1/4 inch floppies and "You got mail." Brings back some good memories.

It sure does, the money made a day in those years was unbelievable, and it was small potatoes compared to what some folks were rolling in

So much for technology improving and page load times becoming faster helping to make more money......we never had ultra high speed internet or VR porn but the checks were sweet.
