From the glory days of Adultcheck Gold and before? And who attended those piss ups at The George off Tottenham Court Road.

A few names I remember are Orca, Uncle Satan, richard, scapegoat, dom. They all used to frequent TLA's board but I suspect many are no longer in the biz.

grrr, great days

Fuck you Darren for not remembering me... LOL

It is you, from Coventry I think, when we were at Internext in 2001 :)

Richard posts here aka Mellenig and so does MJH ... Orca left the biz years ago, Uncle aka Steve along with Sally and Kev are still in the biz as far as I know. They bought a pub out in Essex a couple of years ago. Pete aka Lite is alive and on ICQ. Scapegoat and Dom are also still around the last I heard. Did you meet Uno when AC had one of their London parties, as he also pops in to B & B now and again along with JFK :)

Also... I still speak to Skymouse on a regular basis.. Simon of the Scans has come on just a little from back then and I'm trying hard to remember any others from our nights out.

As for TLA's.. It's been dead since the probs with AC and he blackballed all those who stayed with the programme :)

Maybe we should do a Friends Re-united for the old AC wm's :)

That was the 3 am Adult Check news on Sunday 23rd April 2006 :)

Oh hi Joe! (wanted to change my username so signed up again) There were too many to remember and my brain isnt as good at retaining info. Thanks for the info.

Just wonder sometimes what happened to all those guys. Suppose there's a lot of water under the bridge since the AC days and aye TLA's is not really the same anymore.

Didn't meet uno but knew most of the others. Orca was very influential in getting me started, Ive a lot to thank him for, shame he left, he was making serious bank at one time.

Anyway hope all is well, must dash.

Of course there was and the summers were longer and snow feel on christmas day.......


I make more money each year in this game, if I was 'old skool' and making a lot less money then I would have to look for a new job/niche and except the fact I was burnt out ;-)

Of course the highs you are talking about were that good all the old timers are millionaires.....

Its a fact, its easier to acept money online these days, so its easier to make money - stands to reason :)

I remember in 1998 I was trying to build non-adult sites, sort of blogs really and I remember seeing 'webmasters click here' at the bottom of some random adult site and I thought: 'yeah, i'll do that tomorrow'... 4 years passed... I must have lost thousands between 1998 and the latter half of 2002 when I started :(

Been online since the late 90s and wouldn’t want to go back there for anything.

Oddly I am retiring from it. I have made a lot of cash from it but to be honest the last few years I have been drifting. Sitting at home all day staring at a PC and also photographing endless sex stuff has bored me rigid. I need company - the business has done well but I only intended it to be a short term thing. I guess I got sucked in over time. I came close to seliing my own business at the peak of the dot com boom and wish now that I had.

These days I would make more cash in other ventures which is what I am spending more time on these days. I think for a producer - well for me anyway - the porn business is ultimately corrosive. I know it has been for me.

As it is I just run my sites as a sort of sideshow to my life these days and went back to a mainstream job some time ago.
