then something happens along their path in adult that sets them off, someone treated them wrong or they got ripped off, and it sets them off down a really dark path until they finally become a joke to their peers
there are a few of those guys that are active posters on gfy, and it is kind of sad really, that someone had so much potential, but their balls were the size of peas and they couldn't take one negative thing happening

It's just the mix Jace. "Everyone" and their dogs are here - along with the occasional asylum patient
If you stuffed GFY into a real life scenario - eg conference room, most folks would appear rational, with the exception a few exhibitionists.
It's very hard to say GFY is an "adult webmaster board". That suggests it is predominately related to ... well... "adult webmastering" and covering elements of business, design, coding, hosting, photography etc. In reality, GFY is has a very small element of "webmastering" and a much bigger element where "affiliate fodder" spam - plus a mix of totally unrelated threads (some of which can have "content" and reasonable read.)
Sure, there are a number of actual biz people here and many with very intereresting track records and much to offer. It may be more than coincidence, the vast majority of "adult webmasters" I know of, never visit GFY - it's just not a biz forum.
Who knows, but smell there may be a tolerance level with other adult webmasters when they have to plough thru "Would you hit it" threads and utter garbage - bottom line, GFY is not exactly a format to attract any serious biz discussion. Sometimes this can get seriously sad and have no doubts, does not represent the majority of folks within the adult biz.
Folks may start off with something to offer other than 1000 sig posts, but hell, - a few sessions here and it's obvious there is little point.
GFY is almost like the "National Enquirer" of the adult biz - it's hard to expect any serious business ideas/potential to ooze from between the pages
