I've said this 20 times but nobody cares / will listen.

This board was so massive because it was wide open. Now you can't even read a post in the important sections without registering. This would not be so bad if you could actually get approved in a reasonable amount of time but new members have to email and wait 3 days or blast everyone on ICQ and still wait 3 days. Most people just carry their ass. This is just to read the fucking board!

I know Robbie and many others are always yelling about non industry folks being here but they were the lifeblood of GFY. They saw everyone lying about their stats and posting like they were rich and wanted in this business.

When I used to sell shit here I sold about 20% to board members and 80% to non posters. They were either silent lurkers or found the board through search engines. Since the main sections are closed down this is no longer an option.

Those 'fresh meat' viewers bought content, domains, scripts, design and everything else that was offered for sale here. They also signed up to the affiliate program some sigwhore claimed made him 50k per month. They fed this industry more money and traffic for a long ass time.

Now I'm not saying that there aren't less affiliates than there were but if you want GFY to reclaim some of it's glory days then open this motherfucker up to people that want to get in the industry instead of letting them ignorantly throw up blogs with content they found online to push clicks to some adult PPC program for pennies.

Robbie will bitch, more money will be generated and life will go on.

By the way, how are you? Have you cooled off on your trolling these days?
