    this is crazy.. what happened to GFY?

    I fuck off of adult for a couple years, come back and find GFY is pretty barren of webmaster activity. Is everyone finally working? Or is adult really that bad now?

    It's 8 am Monday morning on the East, and 5 am on the west.

    It's never been a hot bed of activity this early.

        You can find many of the old adult webmasters locally donning a paper hat.

                    actually, this sounds like a more plausible scenario

                      I'd say that's likely the best answer as far as I can tell.

                              Remember when we all used to joke that "there is no money in porn?"

                              Well, that's no longer a joke...

                                Monday mornings are dead zones generally. We all like to pretend we can still take long weekends.

                                      the trolls didn't chase off fuck all. the other "business" boards have one or two new posts a day now. a large majority of people have just packed it in.

                                          2010 was hell. i think a lot of webmasters are taking a slow start to the new year. it was much busier here during the last quarter of last year. quiet since the 1st.

                                            I would estimate 50-75% of paysite affiliates who were full time in 2007 have either fully left the business or are now part timers. Lots of others are gone too but it's mainly the affiliates who are responsible for the big drop in numbers on industry forums.

                                            You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

That's literally 100 times the traffic required to make the same amount of money on average.

                                                            I've started working with mainstream-projects and barely work anything at all with adult these days. I bet many webmasters have done the same thing. I'm letting plenty of my adult domains drop and it's pretty sad since I've owed a couple of them since 2002.

                                                            It's also pretty sad to see the online adult industry die (not evolve) just like our community.

I still find great value here at gfy, but I see Facebook & sites like Xbiz.net taking a piece of the gfy pie lately. However with the synergy of gfy & AWW, who know what plans are in place to re-energize the site here.

If you were willing to put in some work you could easily get traffic. Just submitting to the AVS would net 300 or more visitors a day from their own link list and they would convert like mad. 1,000 or more if you were lucky. There were multiple search engines which actually had traffic and far less competition. It was easy to get some hits right away and you weren't dependent upon Google. TGP's and link lists were at their peak. You could get (tens of) thousands of visitors from them daily with very little work and they converted at a 10th of the ratio that average traffic does now. One can still make money, sure, but it's a different game than 1999 or 2001. I'd definitely take 2001 over 2011 and I bet most would agree.

                                                                                    MAN, accept the fact that adult is DEAD.. Most adult forums are dead.

                                                                                    Try to enter thinkreel.com, videosboard.com... Did you remember what those sites were in 2005?

                                                                                    GFY traffic has decreased 50% since 2005, BUT internet traffic has increased 300% since then.. so, what explanation do you find here? HUH?

                                                                                    When will you accept that FACT? The day you have lost everything and you are asking for pennies in the street?
