Someone spams their stuff - new program, new hosted galleries, contests - and hundreds of sigwhores drop in posting 2-word replies: Stand up!!!/Top Notch!!!. They don't even have the slightest idea about the program or nature of the spam, but they leave their 2 cents anyway, cause it's a free +1 to their postcount.
thats a perfect summary of GFY I'd say
I also posted here 25k times in past 3 years, and for a year or so I've been selling my sig too, but I hope the overall impression of my GFY character is better than what could be summarised as "new sites looking awesome" "he's a top notch guy" or "congrats, looks good" posting style
when some guy posts about the new design of the famous sex.com ( which is shitty btw ) and some sigwhore posts "congrats, your site looks good" then it can be kinda truly frustrating for the real webmasters
It's strange to think that Roger was the biggest spammer on this board. He was the best to do it. A lot of the people doing it now have no clue how it should be done.
I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...
Dawgy was busted in Canada for hooking up with a minor to have sex with...someone he had been chatting with for some time.
I was in the middle of doing some business with him when he disappeared. A former employer shot me the links to the news reports...if I recall it was even posted here.
Now thats fucked up. LOL I know some previous dirt as well, but aint saying shit...
For those wanting links about Dawgy...I can't recall his last name. His first was Dale, last I think started with a B.
I tried to do a search, used to be able to pull up the arrest report, tried to follow it to see if he ever went to trial..but never really heard anything after that.

also the old version of "post whores" werent as bad, they actually had at least some personality to them.
You obviously weren't around for the whole "swoit" era.
But you're right, there are a group of guys here in recent years who offer up little more than "see sig" or "sig spot secured" for 80-90% of their posts.
I doubt he dissapeared, but I gotta agree im starting to wonder where he is!...
I wasnt able to reach him after I won the contest...I sent him an email, never got a reply...
BUT...I spoke with someone at AcidFlyers and they told me he had to go into surgery, so I didnt ask any further question! If its the case, I wish him the best!...
mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation but hey still! need php?ICQ: 94586959

Hey, leave Juicy alone, he's got immunity and GFY management consider him to be a contributing poster.

If you don't do it, somebody else will - true story!
You have to take this board for what it's worth.I come here to fuck around and post useless shit as much as anybody.I use this forum as a way to relax and kill time.I would say the majority of the "sig whores" are doing what they are paid to do..post and branding.I'm guilty as charged.I think it would be a great idea to ban "see sig" or 2 smilie posts.Also people come and go and always will.
Ok, from the mouth of the man that knew him best (just two weeks ago at the Circle Bar) Boneprone told me that Pete "The Fly" found GOD and that was why he 'retired'.
And WiredGuy... get this. I was on VooDoo's board a while back and was just looking thru some old posts and I found one where I sent out a request for GrimShawn. There like a party back before anything went down and as a joke I bumped that thread and said something like "I wonder if GrimShawn still has my cell #" and I swear within a few hours he hit me on ICQ (he was still in my overcrowded database) and said, "Yes, I still have it" and he never came back on ICQ. I know he's still around, and I know he still watches the board that he and Voodoo built together.
I avoid most heavy shit that goes down so I don't know all the details of what happened to him, and what he did to people... but I know he's still around.
I also missed the whole AkiraAmes/newbreed drama, but I heard it was pretty wild.

No offense, but you really can't believe anything Boneprone says.

Oh I know he still reads these boards... believe me, I'd pay good money for his whereabouts to get his ass served.

He vanished from the board right after the Xbox contest fiasco. Coincidence?
If he's really in a hospital, I wish him the best also, but I still find it strange..
