I understand what you are saying. Just cause there are surfers here doesn't mean we should support them.
The problem is that GFY used to be a webmaster board and now its got tons of surfers. One must ask themself, can this be changed? Is there a way to get it back to a webmaster board? Honestly, I don't think there is a shot in hell of making this a webmaster only board. It just won't happen. So, in a sense we have to grow with the changes and just deal with it.
As an advertiser, I'd have mixed emotions. Just like I said before, when newb webmasters post gallery links and such, its still promotion and its still traffic. In a way your webmaster advertising you spend at GFY gets you surfer traffic, more name recognition and more webmasters. In the end, its a tough call on what to do and how to handle it. For me, I'd just accept it and take what I get. If I want webmaster traffic only, I'll advetise on a webmaster only site. But thats just me
