          Yes, I would love to see things improved around here.

          I really like tony404's idea of having a pay forum for doing REAL business ? no contests, no sig whores, limited bs (as you could never completely eliminate all bs).

          I am curious to know how many people would actually put their money where their GFY is and pay for a beneficial forum? 100% - I would. Maybe we should run a contest about what to name the forum (kidding!!).

          In all seriousness, I've been running sites since 1995 and firmly agree that old school is the best school. However, there is always room for improvement and growth both in the old and new alike.

          I wonder if we webmasters and program owners could ever really take GFY back...
          I'd be happy to pay for access to an idiot free webmaster section. What would keep the Jets, squishypimps and fartflys from coughing up the money and continuing their campaigns of crap in the paid section. There would have have to be some kind of application process or something.

            Would you want your banner on a site with 100,000 views that were 40% shit, non-related, no chance of buying, and chasing away the targeted people more everyday. Or on a site with 75,000 and almost all targeted, and climbing cause the fresh new approach.

            Plus the fact that if they actually put it on wrap, the views would climb as more real webmasters began to return to the biggest adult webmaster forum, and a new improved one at that.

            Also, in this day and age, who honestly gives a fuck about "views", anyone who's anybody knows conversion and money is important, not views, clicks or impressions. If we had to compair the quality of those views to something we all understand you could say its about redtube quality.

                two reasons first 99 percent wont pay just to fuck around and secondly they would have to give their cc info, name, billing addy.not as fun to start shit when your not invisible.
                If it happens and since it was my idea. They should call it the tony404 paid webmaster board. lol

                  So you want this to become an old boys club?

                  Or you just want to keep the discussions on topic.

                  If it is the latter I am all for it.

                    Views mean nothing. We advertised here for 2-3 years and received zero benefit out of it. And that was years ago. The clicks were abysmal and it didn't help branding one bit. Our best signups for webmasters came from downline referrals and other targeted resource sites.

                    Views, clicks... mean nothing anymore. When 95% of affiliates don't even send 1 single hit who cares if you get 2 newb signups a day?

                    No one here allows themselves to be branded anyway.

                      On topic would be the way to go. A place where it was only business. The whole old school bullshit thing can be kept to a minimum hopefully.

                        Simple. You police the paid forum a lot closer and evict the idiots if they step out of line. I'm sure once a few of them lose their fee money a few times they'll get the hint.

                          I definitely am not saying it should be old boys club or anything like that, but I do think that if someone comes on here and wants to piss with someone they need to be adult enough to say who they are and what they do. This anonymous sig whore thing is just become very childish.

                          Also, if they aren't in the adult biz they should go play somewhere else...

                                  Great Points! Well, the first part anyways.

                                  We should call it the No Bullshit forum.

                                  Definitely the point would be to keep discussions on topic.

                                        The guys who started it made their fortune and fucked off.

                                        The guys running it now don't care or have no clue what to do with it cause its still generating revenue.


                                        Time to move on to something else.

                                          I dont think its they dont care or have no clue. I would imagine these are people with full plates and this was plopped on top would be my feeling.

                                              Pretty much. Why would they fuck with it if it's making them money?

                                                Too many people with nothing to lose, and too many big program owners that don't care how they get their money. The latter, encouraging the former to be more and more rogue and not care who they fuck over or steal from.

                                                  Money talks, always has. I would pay, I would submit an application and get approved, whatever if this board lost 50% surfers and contest whores.

                                                    The guys who started it made their fortune and fucked off.

                                                    The guys running it now don't care or have no clue what to do with it cause its still generating revenue.

                                                        its retarded how many surfers here people think are actually webmasters.
                                                        honestly... If gfy eliminated signatures entirely, then 90% of the surfers would have no reason to be here posting BS 100x a day so they can sell sig spots.. I think posting simply to increase posts counts for the prospect of sig selling accounts for the majority of the stupidity around here..

                                                        Then we'd be left with the other 10% that come here to cause controversy could more easily be deal with. (5% that just come here because they're bored on disability and another 5% because their parents don't monitor their online activities)

                                                          If there was a paid board, some of the money could be used to hire a full time mod. Any non-biz or bullshit post could be moved to the regular 'fucking around' board. I think 'fucking around' is still where most of the action will be, same as most other boards that separate biz and general discussion.

                                                              It's sad, there are plenty of good boards with potential out there, but they always scrape along because everyone comes back to GFY because that's where the news is... if you avoid GFY and only hit the smaller boards you still end up missing out.

                                                                    after i finished reading, i thought about what i wanted to say with this post (not always my first instinct).

                                                                    when i finish writing it, i am going to think about whether or not i really want to hit the submit button (again, not my first instinct).

                                                                    i might even go outside and have a cigarette first.

                                                                    i just deleted several babbling paragraphs because i have no right to say anything else in this thread.

                                                                    it took 52 minutes to get from page 1 to the submit button.

                                                                    i think if everyone did what i just did, this thread might not have been on page 5.

There's a million teenage non-webmasters and trolls, and even people purporting to be real webmasters (SleazyDream comes to mind) who are just here to troll.

                                                                      I mean... I said it years ago; those people need to simply be banned. Anyone know why SexEd was here for years? Anyone know why Rhino22 never got banned from the get-go? I mean, there's been countless situations where people obviously aren't webmasters, and nobody cares.

                                                                      The solution is simple. The board needs to get selective with who they allow to contribute, and not be purely concerned with delivering page-views to advertisers.

If gfy eliminated signatures entirely, then 90% of the surfers would have no reason to be here posting BS 100x a day so they can sell sig spots.. I think posting simply to increase posts counts for the prospect of sig selling accounts for the majority of the stupidity around here..

                                                                        Then we'd be left with the other 10% that come here to cause controversy could more easily be deal with. (5% that just come here because they're bored on disability and another 5% because their parents don't monitor their online activities)
                                                                        Even better.. They should just disable certain people's sigs selectively.

                                                                        PS: these threads are useless.. They obviously have a policy of letting this community run free, short of breaking the rules and being a total racist jackass. Deal with it, cuz that's how it is. If they instituted any of the changes that get brought up here weekly, it would just get all fucked up too. Why do we always scream for rules and no rules at the same time, depending on how we feel at the time in this industry?
