    A question for the 'Old School' GFYers...

    What made GFY so great back then? Has it really changed so much in a few years?

        There's suddenly a great deal of people with thousands of posts whose name I've never seen, have no idea what they do or who they are.
        That sucks. Also I miss boneprones gazillion aliases and pimpdogs daily bannings and returns.. ahh, so many fond memories.
        ..and I'm off.

                less surfers, more insightful or entertaining people around (labret, gary tough he ended up as a scammer was funny, boneprone!, thefly, teengodfather, toodamnfly, spacedog was pure entertaiment, amp had his good days, etc.etc.etc) 5 page drama threads were real drama and not fake, but nostalgia will do that to you even if the good old days were objetively worse.

                              What made GFY great back then was simply this.

                              It was the first threaded board that webmasters opened their arms too and truly accepted.

                              Before GFY, Netpond had the boards everyone sent too. Prior to that, it was Ynot. All flat boards. I know back when GFY came out, I was very hesitant to move all of Netpond's boards to threaded, just didn't see it taking off. I was wrong.

                              GFY is a good board, no doubt, but doesn't hold a candle to Ynot when it comes to pure money making ideas. The difference of 5 years in this business is what seperates the multi millionaire program owners, and the gallery makers.

                                webmasters actually helped each other out, no fake drama, very little surfers, less satuation of programs (better conversions) cuz not everyone had their own programs lol ALOT less drive-by spamming, pretty much less of everything (in a good way.)

                                ahhh those were the days

                                        I think a lot of that can be attributed to regulations as well. The rules today are so much different from even 3 years ago its almost like a different world.

                                        How many of those old school multi-millionaire program owners could have had the same success in today's climate? And how many of them made their money without completely fucking over their customers?

                                          There weren't a lot less BS threads back then. More business oriented. And hardly the usual lameO "would you hit it" theads and "see sig" posts.

                                              The story that boneprone told about bringing a box of Almond Roca to his teacher was great

                                                  it all depends on the group that is posting at that time, i find GFY moves in alot of trends, when a certain group of people are posting i post less because i find them to be bigtime wannabes. but when there is a good core of oringal sounding posters GFY can be and is as great as ever.

                                                  i find there to be less and less original people out there in general.

                                                    back when there was one contest a month or two, and it was a pick the caption style.

                                                    now a contest a day.

                                                          Signatures changed a lot of things. I'd say it changed at least 25-30% of the experience.

                                                          Dumbasses like Vitasoy didn't exist back then.

                                                                      It was the first threaded board that webmasters opened their arms too and truly accepted.

                                                                      Before GFY, Netpond had the boards everyone sent too. Prior to that, it was Ynot. All flat boards. I know back when GFY came out, I was very hesitant to move all of Netpond's boards to threaded, just didn't see it taking off. I was wrong.

                                                                      GFY is a good board, no doubt, but doesn't hold a candle to Ynot when it comes to pure money making ideas. The difference of 5 years in this business is what seperates the multi millionaire program owners, and the gallery makers.
