I can't really say where I stand on this one. I like to come here to blow off steam and post a few pictures or read some jokes or see what Juicy is up to today or how great Sleazy thinks his glorious self is.
However, I also come here to watch and learn. NoCarrier's experiment with the TGP gallery is excellent, and I have been known to start business threads myself, now and then. They dont' get as many replies or views as I would like, but such is the nature of the beast.
I have tried posting in the Webmaster and Trade forums on GFY, but the responses are minimal to nothing. I wouldn't be adverse to moving all the business threads to them, IF they were going to get views and replies there, and leaving the Fuckign Around forum for just that purpose.
And yeah, I'd pay a small fee to be a member. Heck, I pay 10$ a year for Limewire.
Just bring back the search!
