| ChaosMen (Formerly ChaosInAustin.com) has changed much over its 8 years online. It started out as simple Ego site for Bryan Ockert. You know, "Here are my stats, here are my pictures, you wanna get laid?"
After the first year, a unique journal was added, called a fotojournal. Since I was photographing everything around me, I decided it would be a different way to share my life online if I added the photos to the journal. A lot of guys who couldn't live Out were drawn to its voyeuristic-living-vicariously style and it became very popular. Now Blogs are all the rage and I like to think I was on the forefront for this new craze.
After that, cams were all the rage, and the ChaosCam was added. More and more visitors were coming to the site.
Bandwidth became a major issue, and monthly bills were exceeding $450 a month. My hobby and ego site was becoming way too expensive.
One of the few ways anyone was making money on the net, was to add adult content. Since I was already photographing some of my hunky buddies, I thought it was time to create a membership area and make the site start paying for itself.
