So panic is good sometimes.

There didn't used to be a "GFY" and people didn't use to have "false panic". Yet, here we are. Somehow we made it through some things that should have shut us down according to the experts here. Not sure how we somehow emerged and made it into the new millennium. Or how we ever got past 2000, or the beginning of 01 without people fixing things here on a message board. And I'm being very sarcastic about that by the way.
I do agree that GFY is a great place for info. And I have seen some cool things done here, just showing what can happen when people work together. I've also seen women bashed to the ground, Battus use this forum as his personal playground to amuse himself, surfers fill the memberlist, witch hunts that damaged people's businesses. and of course the seemingly endless "sport" of trying to damage someone's business because it's "fun" or the guy getting persecuted is a "jerk"
The way I remember the beginning of GFY it was a place for industry discussion. A place where you could make money by making fresh new contacts that you later would see in person at internext that year and cement relationships.
Now it seems to be a lot of "GOTCHA" going on. Nobody gets raised up. Every other thread is attack, attack, attack. And the threads that aren't started to attack ALL turn to shit because the replies all attack.
