I'm getting the feeling reading this thread that gaming may have replaced porn as the internet use spurring the most rapid innovation. Is this an accurate assessment? I'm not involved with either, but in the very early days it was the adult industry that solved problems of massive use and payments etc.

Replaced? Don't make me laugh. Gaming has always been bigger.

Gaming on the web was tiny til broadband became mainstream. There were lots of dial-up services (DJANGO, MSN gaming, etc) but latencies over the web were not so great. I remember getting pings of 700+ trying to play Jedi Knight deathmatch on AOL
