No offense. But it seems that there is more then enough interest for a platform on gfy that is not just about bullshit.

I'd be perfectly happy to see more business getting done here. I'm something of a workaholic, so anywhere really.
I mean biggest in the sense that I'm most likely to get an answer to a tech question here, most likely to get a number of opinions on any company I'm considering doing business with here, most likely to get new affiliates if I post a
SpookyCash content thread here.
I honestly feel that exclusionary tactics at the trade shows really messed up the affiliate business model. When all the guys who were doing promo for beer money got treated with contempt . . . they did go somewhere else. And now there are so many fewer affiliates. And losing that support structure knocked out some of the same ballers who were trying to make themselves feel big by making smaller affiliates feel small or telling them they had to suck up to get invited to some sausagefest party. Are we really better off for having a smaller pool of potential people to work with?
I have accounts on pretty much all of the industry forums, but GFY is always the one I check the most often. I think I'm fairly typical for a professional webmaster in this regard.
