I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?

Or at least they could disable anonymous viewing.
That gets this forum's threads out of Google, and should slow the influx of surfers. Anybody who needs to be here already knows about it, or can find it from another webmaster forum.
many trolls and idots I come here less and less everyday now
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
its already become a surfer board.
I don't even bother to talk about things that would concern a webmaster on here.
I do that on other webmaster boards.
in five years, wow, no clue. The same, with lots of more visitors since the world will be connected in a greater way. New african programs will evolve and we will all promote weird alien sex.

An admirable sentiment, but isn't the format of GFY - whether deliberately or by accident - a recognition of the reality that these days, relatively few webmasters contribute to any of the boards unless they see a chance to spam something?
Some with a specific focus, like TNB, AWI, GG&J and (until they all died) a few AVS boards stayed useful for longer, but most of their "business" threads have become the same (mostly newbie) questions being asked for the umpteenth time.
In the early days of Ynot, industry issues were constantly being discussed openly by people from all levels of the business. Maybe that was because back then there was an unconscious recognition that everyone was feeling their way, but now people are so anxious to guard their "trade secrets" you often cannot get a straight answer even to a purely technical question.
As webmasters became less willing to exchange information, activity on the boards slowed down. Someone came up with the idea of encouraging posters by allowing promotions via sigs and that worked in terms of its primary aim, but the amount of bullsh*t went through the roof. That made the business (and the simply entertaining) threads harder to find, which turned off even more of the webmasters who weren't either generating the BS or its target. Now we are in a vicious circle and the ratio of BS keeps increasing.
GFY is the logical result of that cycle. You can read what you like into what it says about our industry that GFY is so successful while many other boards are in decline...

Exatly, make this test, post a thread regarding html, php, hosting etc... And watch how many hits it will get, worst, how many replies it will get !
Make another one like: "Would you hit it"
See how it goes
Cory, you shouldn't have paid this much hehehehehehehehehehehehe
(inside joke)
surfers will always come around boards like these etc.. not going to go away.
Its sorting through all the crap to find the good stuff like anywhere else...

nice post, boards are a place to meet people, but you're not going to learn any trade secrets here
