one more day without paul markham :(

You gotta love the contrarian nature of GFY.

When Paul is actually here...he is attacked viciously.
Then when he gets banned...he gets more love than he ever has before from this place.

heh-heh

dont over analyse it :winkwink:

A week is not much longer. I do wish he'd condense his posts though. Anyone can write a book, but most of us edit them down to only a few lines for a reason. Wall o text is out of fashion.

fuck no...

I'm sorry, I dont quite get that, what exactly do you really mean ?:pimp

Look at what gems we're missing. He posted this just now:

"324 in the Manwin office in Montreal. Requires "Usable Square Footage Indicated: 71280 sf". And yes as a boss he would know how many toilets there were in the offices. Not the number of urinals, just how many per floor. An office worker would know that. Legal requirement would be one for males and one for women."

BRING HIM BACK NOW!

fuck Paul. However.. yeah fuck

having been banned and seeing what it does for ones banningness, I say leave him banned...

Keep him banned and block his IP.

We need the expert on all things back.
The all knowing Paul Markham should be allowed to post anything he wants.

We are lost without him.
Everyone's business is suffering greatly without his guidance and wisdom.

no you reap what you sow.

i dont like markham. as pornojew says he derails every business thread.

however the guy is unstable and gfy is a big part of his daily life. like the 80yo in the senior center that has to watch golden girls every day at 4:30. i just wonder what mental shape he'll be in when he returns - if he makes it back at all.

poor guy just had all his computers serviced too..

That's not a ban.....it's a suspension......

Paul Markham is a pain in the ass, knows nothing in this business, and is annoying as shit...

I vote that he can only start his own threads, and can only post in them and no other threads.......that way, we will be happy......and we could visit his threads to take a shit!

That's the one thing I really disliked, he would come into the threads that actually had good information and a bunch of webmasters discussing ideas and tips that were helpful and completely derail the thread.

I know what you're saying...but let's be honest...that's painting a picture of GFY with rose colored glasses.

It's a tiny percentage of threads that even have people in this business in them. lol Much less good info or ideas and tips that mean much. And those threads aren't usually the ones that Paul was ever in because he had no idea what they were about.

He mostly started his own threads with a bombastic statement that trolled everybody into joining in. Yeah, he did jump in a few threads here and there....but most of his trolling was done with threads he started himself.

incorrect. pretty much every useful thread he came in and derailed with arguments about magazines, free porn and viv thomas.

frustrating as it's rare to find useful info on here.

If you had him on ignore, I wasn't referring to you, but to the others that get so worked up every time he replies. If all those people had him on ignore, he wouldn't be derailing any threads. Eventually that's what happened with Fatfoo. The problem of course is that those people WANT to see what he'll say, whether they admit it or not.

It's just funny - so many people here keep saying he's worthless, stupid, etc. but rather than treat him like that, they always take the time to respond to almost every reply he makes in threads which dignifies his posts. It's not his post that derails the thread, it's the 10+ replies to it calling him an idiot or foolishly trying to get him to "see the light" that do it.

as an affiliate the information people care about nowadays is tubes. blogs, social media, stuff that paul has zero knowledge about but feels free to pontificate and argue about all day long.

i have him on ignore but look at this posts to see why the thread is being derailed. so i get sucked it. it's a weakness yes.

a bot is easy to ignore but someone who calls you stupid while being so wrong isn't.

100 Paul Markham fallacies

"i have him on ignore but look at this posts to see why the thread is being derailed. so i get sucked it. it's a weakness yes."

Just admit it , deep down, you just love him:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

Plus the fact he is rude and ignorant.

So if someone had cancer they have a free pass on being a pointless cunt?

I missed that memo.

wtf - i'd hardly say 61 is old these days, ain't young but it isn't old. and as far as i know Paul isn't dying. millions beat cancer and hopefully Paul has.

awww poor pauly

its not like he's a completly arrogant prick or anything

who gives a fuck how old he is ? we aint rollin the guy for his wallet here :1orglaugh

No - but its an idea.......



:thumbsup

How can anyone not like him? He has a point of view and tries to get it across. Sure you may disagree but that gets you to think about your preconceptions and try to get them across. It is a form of learning. Look up Socrates and then Plato. It has been around for a while. To ignore someone who has seen and done more then you is not smart.

Unban Paul! Unban Paul! Unban Paul! Unban Paul!

I am still hopelessly lost and my business is failing without his advice.

Paul, please come back and remind us that there is much more money in magazines.

You do all realise that the magazines for whom he worked are still published and are still for sale in the UK, just that there are no pictures by Paul Markhem in them.

They are a lot less successful than they were do to new "Lads Mags" these have hotter girls and better photography.

Wha?? :eek7

When you can't win an Internet argument, just post a couple of random sentences that make zero fucking sense.

Can't belive he is banned

I wouldn't have much of an issue with Paul if he didn't derail so many discussions that could be useful, informative, or do good for someone. He pisses in the gene pool, so to speak, and really puts out a lot of disinformation that isn't even half-baked.

I think 99% of people have learned to ignore what he's saying, and just bait him into making a fool of himself, but it's the other portion of the GFY population that gets snagged.

Of all of the trolls here, he's probably the least offensive, but has the potential to do the greatest harm.

Look at people like Porno Jew, Dirty F, Rothstein, etc. They're WAY more offensive and "in your face," but what they say usually makes sense, has thought behind it, and is usually only offensive because it's nakedly true ... and the truth hurts.

Markham, on the other hand, couches his ridiculous half-assed "thinking" in a more pleasant way, but it's not only useless, it's harmful to actual thought. His lies don't even make sense to the most casual viewer. He's raking in the bucks (or raked it in previously, as the story sometimes goes), but he lives in a shack and his mail-order bride has to work menial jobs? Traffic is easy to get, yet he gets just a trickle himself compared to legitimate programs? The list just goes on and on every time he posts.

Even with all of that said, I'd still let him back. Clueless troll, but this is still GFY, not Pleasantville. It's people like him that MAKE it GFY.

how the fuck would you know what any of us have done in our lives ?

you should like a person because they have a point of view ?

and what has paul acheieved? the guy is troll of the year. you mean that ? how would you know what anyone else has achieved relative to paul. Name me some people who do business with paul in 2012 ? if the guy has achieved so much where the fuck is it ?


pauls not in a wheelchair getting slapped - hes on gfy calling everyone a fucking idiot. if you can dish it out you have to learn to take it. thats how life works. when you hit your twenties youll understand more about it :2 cents:


listen idiot if you know so much about me you should know that dont bring it if you cant take it. let me educate as to the meaning of the word arrogant

arrogant - making claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights

I make no claims about how good I am anywhere. none.

Paul doesnt stop making claims about how good he is. Everry fucking thread he makes has something about his incredible and intimate knowledge of adult.

you see the difference there shitlips ?

i have a degree in Philosophy. you aren't the only person in the world to hear about the ancients. however, your view of markham is not based on facts. some of his ideas are accurate, but most are not. he made money in one area of the adult industry 20-30 years ago, then sold bulk discounted content for a decade. that hardly makes him an expert in all areas of adult online porn.

everybody wouldn't be against the guy if he wasn't so arrogant. in his mind, every idea he has must be right because he thought it. thats why i turned on him a couple years ago. humility goes a long way..

Bring him back.

I disagree,the names above are just as full of shit, or more,than Paul ever will be. Thought my ass, they just mean to provoke.


Indeed.......... it's GFY:thumbsup

he was uncontrollable. more in-house idiocy please.

i guess that's the thanks you get for becoming "Troll of the year" ... :Oh crap

i just sold 5 sets to a UK magazine - i must be on the way to become millionaire now :glugglug
