          I have an easier solution.

          Ban all the webmasters and turn this into a surfer forum ;)

              Problem is there really isnt any incentive to contribute - all decent posts disappear in the sigwhore noise.

                  yeesh, if people aren't making that much we'd be doing them a favor and giving them a push out of something they obviously aren't very good at. no one needs >$500 clowns around here filling the board with 'would you hit it' threads.

                    why dont you actually think...
                    This board, as any other board or site, charges their advertising rates based upon IMPRESSIONS...not clicks to banners.

                    You may want to try your own advice in this case.

                      plus again it would kill the community because some other forum would pop up really quick and the traffic would just shift to that one.
                      wow, you are horribly stupid. you think this board is the only way to learn things? come the fuck on man. you're ignorance is painful. adult webmasters did exist before this board was made. i was making over 100k/year for years before i even knew gfy existed.

                        I think that everyone should buy traffic before getting unbaned. That would solve the problem

                          I like the idea of a newbie board.... where the mods can sort the surfers from the webmasters.

                            I think it is a very, very dumb idea. The reason I am in adult is because surfer porn forums used to offer free porn. then they all started getting shut down for various reasons. I thought fuck, i need to find more before the whole think goes, So I typed in porn forum in google, got to another board, posted there for a bit. Saw a link for a program, signed up and made them some signups. Ok I must be like 0.1% of surfers that actully convert. But this is a unique reason why you should not ban people just because they surf.

                              Scotty, this is why there are places like xbiz, porn resource, and theadultwebmaster.com

                              for people to start learning, become an industry person, and then come here and talk about it..

                              I am well aware that most of us were surfers at one time, but we did not all come to gfy to learn how to do stuff.. hell, I did not even get on a chat board for almost a year after I got in the biz because I wanted to just soak up info and then be able to contribute.
                              I'm here for the violence!

                                a 'stupid shit' and a 'biz only' board would be good too. and maybe a board for the tranny pics coz fuck i hate clicking on those threads that lead to trannies.

                                  Thats funny, seems more pics and vids get pasted on gfy to waste time viewing, rather than getting something actually done...

                                  watch 20 videos, thats like one hour of time you could have done something else more productive with..

                                    yeah they will. you should start thinking madawgz

                                    what do a good majority of people start doing once they learn the ropes? they signup for sponsors and find ways to send traffic. thats how everyone does it. dont you think that programs want those virgin webmasters?

                                      Couldn't they just validate that the join email address at least belongs to a domain that's adult related?

                                        The only people who really need to be banned are Madawgz and Squishypimp. They act nice and dont flame people, so that's cool, but these surfers have taken post whoring to an extreme. If they were real webmasters, I wouldnt even care, but when a surfer/newbie who doesnt know shit about shit posts 100 - 150 times per day every day for months and months consecutively, it really does bring down the overall quality of the board.

                                            Sounds as stupid as the recent proposed .xxx registration process.

                                            Considering many surfers end up here from SE and so on, it would be more effective to close the board and viewing for registered members only. That would cut off 95% of the tempted trolls. The last 5% you can't do anything about anyway, because they would just lie about what they are doing.

                                                The best thing to do is just charge something reasonable like $500/year to access the forum that would get rid of 100% of the surfers and prevent saturation also.

                                                And honestly, you would lose a lot of people that are worth having. I wont waste 500 a year to chat on a board.

                                                  okay, we are talking about real surfers right?

                                                  the only thing they might do is signup to a program to download free photo sets...

They act nice and dont flame people, so that's cool, but these surfers have taken post whoring to an extreme. If they were real webmasters, I wouldnt even care, but when a surfer/newbie who doesnt know shit about shit posts 100 - 150 times per day every day for months and months consecutively, it really does bring down the overall quality of the board.
                                                    i cant believe im still being called a fucking surfer, ive had it with this shit

                                                      The best thing to do is just charge something reasonable like $500/year to access the forum that would get rid of 100% of the surfers and prevent saturation also.
                                                      i agree with this. $500/yr to post isn't much. if a surfer wants to pay $500/yr to post BS, then let them. it will definitely weed out 90% of the crap.

                                                        if it was 500$/year, i think the board would only be full of the rich guys...

                                                            I am well aware that most of us were surfers at one time, but we did not all come to gfy to learn how to do stuff.. hell, I did not even get on a chat board for almost a year after I got in the biz because I wanted to just soak up info and then be able to contribute.
                                                            Yeh your right. My story is a very small exception. Like I say im 0.1% of Surfers, but still you gotta bear those things in mind, if you were to choose to ban obvious surfers

                                                                But I had no desire at all to join the adult industry, I was just looking for free porn. And if I wasnt allowed to post on that forum, I would probably be flipping burgers right now and I wouldnt be making companies $$$$'s . Only when I started reading how much people wear earning did I think, hey, why not popup some links.

They act nice and dont flame people, so that's cool, but these surfers have taken post whoring to an extreme. If they were real webmasters, I wouldnt even care, but when a surfer/newbie who doesnt know shit about shit posts 100 - 150 times per day every day for months and months consecutively, it really does bring down the overall quality of the board.
                                                                              How exactly did you come to the conclusion that madawgz is a surfer? I'm personally rebuilding one of his websites. How does post whoring make you a surfer?

                                                                                    I think that's really an exception, a "retired webmaster" can't be compared with an average surfer, hair splitting, but I don't really see a reason to ban surfers anyway.

Those who register may be interested in becoming a webmaster, probably part time to start with, but why exclude those who potentially can make you, me or anyone else here some money ?

                                                                                    Closing the board for the general public is a bad idea, many webmaster may not want to post here, but still read the board, click your sigs, etc...without wanting to make an account.

                                                                                    So, the damage done by surfers reading webmaster talk, which will bore most of them after a day or even much earlier, is neglegtable to the loss of silent "read only" webmasters or potential webmasters.

Where business can seriously be discussed and in reality advertising in that forum would be worth more than out here because there would be actual serious industry people.
