I don't know if my perspective is at all common, but when those every-three-messages buttons appeared, I almost quit GFY. They still bug the heck out of me precisely because they cannot be turned off and if I used a board often enough I would certainly take the time to find another.
The reason being that for me, the value of visiting GFY has been going down and down. Fewer sponsors post news here now than in the past and a lot have got better about emailing affiliates anyway. As to the rest, between the real kiddies, the sig whores and the handful of reps who really play GFY, the junk ratio has gone through the roof. So now, even with sigs off, I have to plough through a bunch of ads on every thread anyway? And if this idea were adopted it would be a lot worse.
I understand that it is necessary to try to reverse declining revenue, or simply make more, but I think GFY is very close to the point where a lot of things will turn out to be counter-productive very quickly.
