Here is a message from GFY Top Banner Sponsor IntenseCash.com:

BrokeStraightGirls.com launched this past month, and we have already spent over $10,500 in buying advertising, paying people for sigs, and running contests on GFY.

That's $10,500 in just the first 30 days.

Buying top banner spots directly benefits PlayBoy/ICS financially, and a heavy investment in sigs helps to maintain prolific posters for the board.

We decided to make GFY a significant part of our marketing strategy during launch, and well into the future. With new sites in the works, our plan is to maintain strong financial investments with this board, and with those that post on it, for a long time to come.

However, it has recently become painfully clear that this forum is no longer moderated or overseen in any fashion.

Yesterday it was disturbing imagery of animal abuse, and what might be next? While we are aware and respect the fact that GFY is a bastion of free expression, and are supportive of that, we feel deceptive threads designed to force members to view emotionally disturbing imagery is counteractive to that mission. In the past, we are aware that GFY has moderated such threads as abusive.

If the new policy of PlayBoy/ICS is to provide no personnel to properly oversee the happenings on this board, very serious liabilities might arise that would make continued financial involvement with this site unwise.

BrokeStraightGirls.com urges PlayBoy/ICS to dedicate the staff and resources that a site of this size requires, and hopes it is not forced to discontinue what has so far been a very mutually beneficial relationship, and what could continue to be a great relationship for the months and years to come.

While BSG might be but a small fraction of this site's total revenue, other sponsors have expressed similar concerns. We feel the need is obvious, and encourage PlayBoy/ICS to take the necessary steps to ensure that GFY continues to be a viable resource for both sponsors and the industry as a whole.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter, and we sincerely hope that you as a company rectify these problems expeditiously.
