Go to a surfer forum and pose as if you aren't involved in adult and then you will get honest unfiltered responses. Not here.

And why does having GFY as adult industry only (which is how it started) suddenly become analogous to a McDonalds owner thinking his franchisees and patrons are idiots?

I never said anyone was an idiot. I said that non-adult people don't contribute anything of value here. In fact they have HURT people's businesses on here.

And again...the business model of GFY has NEVER been surfer driven. Look at the banners. They are strictly sponsor programs trying to brand themselves to webmaster/affiliates. I have yet to see a paysite join banner here or someone actually selling a product to a consumer.

That is what would be marketed to surfers. Not banners enticing an affiliate to promote a certain sponsor.

This isn't supposed to be a tgp or a tube site. It's supposed to be an industry forum. That's what gives it it's true value. Not the useless surfer traffic that comes here.

Not one intelligent paysite or program owner has EVER advertised on GFY due to the traffic numbers of surfers here. The only reason I ever paid for a sticky on this board was to promote our program to affiliates. I didn't WANT surfers to see that.
If you mean fake nicks, I don't think many of them here are surfers or kids or they would't be so upset about epass or post things that only people in the business know much about or care about.

More likely it's just acting and theater from affiliates and business owners wanting to express more then they would like they would do under their real names. This made GFY big to begin with.

This takes their breaks off in responses and some, I agree here, get a power kick out of it or a thrill in some cases or just postviews however you want to see it. Some become more honest if they post being anonymous, others may abuse it. Just the way it is.
