They come here to read the threads and the posts. The posters are what make GFY. Always have been, always will be.

The advertisers may pay the bills, but the posters are the reason it's worth it for the advertisers to peddle their wares here. Without threads and posts and pageviews, GFY doesn't have jack shit.

This board has been top dog for a long time now, for so long that most people have forgotten that it wasn't always the top board. I can think of 2 off the top of my head that at one time were "the board" for industry discussion....and one of the big reasons GFY was able to knock them off their pedestals was because those other boards got a bit uptight about who could post, and what they could post, etc.

If GFY keeps kicking out everyone who pisses off someone who bought a banner spot here, they'll be going the way of the Condom Project (if you've been around long enough to know what that was, congrats on surviving this long in the biz) and someone new will be taking over the notoriety and ad dollars they now enjoy.
