For the most part yes - I just weed out the threads that either make no sense or childish and look for the gems that are industry related. Some business can be made on the open forum but it must be done wisely and smart.
Personally I do get emails and conversations from gfy threads for business even today - so it's not a total loss. Those who are in the industry look at a variety of sources and boards - the business forums here on GFY lean towards "want ads" or "flyers" you get at home. You skim over the title - read - then without posting etc. you go privately and check it out.
If I want anything my course is do a search on the topic then business then main board forums after I've exhausted my skype/ICQ.
