Place seems normal to me. A tad slower than usual, maybe.

I blame the world cup.

I would invite a couple friends to join. But think it's better to wait until their affiliate programs are live.

We cunt a ford to keep it alive.

I laugh when people moan about not enough new threads/posts, while not actually making any themselves.

I've been here for years and people seem to forget that there has ALWAYS been a lot of "fucking around" (as it says in the title). So the crazy threads don't bother me. It's very easy not to click them and find another that does interest you.

There used to be more business posts because there was a lot more newbies back in the day, so most were learning stuff about the biz each day. Now, many have left the biz, so it's mostly just us that have been here long term, and i guess we know most of what we want to know which makes us our income as it stands.

However when a biz thread is posted, there are usually still very good replies and advice.

So rather than moan, contribute... :)

i know quite a few stop posting here because of the attacks and bullshit.

OK... I'll bite ! :upsidedow

I believe it already, because its true. The BIZ has basically died - Hence why GFY has basically died... Deny it all you want, but if the industry isnt active... Why would a message board based on it be active?

Absolutly - If I stopped posting the entire industry would simply resurrect itself, and everyone would be making money like it was 1999 again ! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Translation - I have not really bothered with the board myself for years, and when I come back - Its not exactly what I want it to be... Must find someone to but the blame onto... Ah yes... CS - The guy who posts about poo...

Adviews and activity? Posts per day ?


How have YOU 'helped out' GFY stay in the slightest bit active if you havent been here for years!!! ???


As BF said above - If you want serious business discussion there are PLENTY of places to go... If you want to "FUCK AROUND (& have a bit of program discussion)" - (See forum title) then you come here !


Yeah I post crap - Yeah I fuck about... But I dont scam people, attack people or try to decide for others how this forum should work.... If you dont like me - IGNORE ME ! I dont fucking care!

Nor do I disrupt actual biz threads either...

????


:helpme

Board is dead because the management has no fucking idea how to run it.

Trigger-happy cunt mods banned every interesting poster. Now only a handful of broke retards left.

No it hasn't. It has re-organzied and shifted into a tighter focus. Plenty of people still go to shows (fuck man, there's a fucking show nearly every WEEK somewhere around the world, ask JFK and Baddog) and attendance is GROWING.

The people who have 'left the Industry' have either taken their wealth and moved onto other things or were never 'Lifers' to begin with. No, I think it's because the Industry is undergoing a massive consolodation of resources, which means less 'players' (not 'playas') and a tighter focus on in-housr revenues. Meaning less affiliates are required or sought after which means less affiliates to keep GFY pumping.

Also remember that back in the Golden Days circa 2000-2005 you didn't need to be a 'real webmaster' to make even decent money online. I know because it's this 'hey even an amateur can do it!' mentality is what drove me to choose the Adult Industry in the first place. Now, these days, with a medium-sized company, I am a 'professional' meaning this is how I make my money and feed my family. I think many 'amateur' affiliates have moved on since it now takes real focus, energy and resources to even hold steady in this ever-changing biz.

PS: I used to wank it to your ex-wife, pre-boob job, back in the '90's. I used to have this 'thing' (fetish?) for girls with short hair. LOL Thanks Layla for all the sperm! :D

:)
OK... Lets play sematics - The 'Everyday' biz as most new it is dead....

I'm not saying YOUR personal biz is dead - Or that porn is dead overall... But the fundamental basis has shifted so far, its unrecognisable...

Don't get me wrong - I fully respect that you ACTUALLY create things.... What I'm really saying is that old school GFY biz (A guy putting an affiliate banner online, and then saying 'Look Mom! IM IN PORN !!!) Is no longer a viable option... And that, to me, was a HUGE part of the loss of GFY activity....

Things just are NOT the same these days. Lay & I travelled the fucking WORLD together, and although I didn't personally appear on screen, we were making more money than we could spend !

Honestly, I shit you not, I went to a drawer in a hotel once, looking for a pair of socks, and there was SO MUCH MONEY in it... There was no room for socks ! (The good old days)

But the point I'm trying to make, is that even if I met 'Lay.2.0' so to speak... That we couldn't EVER do it again - Worlds changed, industries changed, and the MONEY ISNT THERE ANYMORE :(

But thats life - Shit changes - All I'm really saying to the Metaguy is DONT blame people like me for GFY being 'DEAD'... :(

Its the bigger picture :)


:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

What if...industry is actually bigger then ever...is just how people dont give a SHIT anymore about boards?

But its NOT mate... Facts are facts. Yes, certain companies have taken the lions share, I grant you - But back in the day the money was just, well, 'Silly'...

These days it isnt. :(

Hence why boards are quieter....

i blame you

To the Last GFY Member:

Well again you have to look to all the "shfting" (not shitting) going on in the past few years. Cams and adult dating and tubes have taken a lot of the revenue (and ads) whereas before that revenue may have gone to DVDs and studios producing content (or live shows for fans, or appearances/signings, etc).

It's all supply/demand. Demand IS down due to free porn but the demand has also 'spread'. There are now, a decade+ later, literally millions of amateur websites online, small companies like mine, single sites, clips stores, VOD, cam studios, dating sites, ad networks. Back in the day when you and Layla were traveling around making bank the pool of talent and where to enjoy porn was much, much more limited. Now we have smart phones, wifi, etc etc.

So i think the money has gone to both a few big players and a shitload of really, really small ones spread throughtout the world. india, China, Romania, Brasil, on and on.

Good thing you got rich back then and retired eh? You would have a fuck-all time of it now. :D

Good points dude.

Point taken - Allow me to respond in the morning :)

For me, nearly midnight in the UK, so I'm off to bed... :) Sorry...

Stop, you are diluting your cool online image of an all-night party animal.
Oh NOW I get it...you are a party POOPER! :D

Good night sweet Prince of Poo.

Sorry about that, I'm back now with my 17 fake nicks :thumbsup

Last seen headin' towards the camel stable with a tube of lube.

He is better then 99% and kisses ass if you are known to do well LOL. I am retired and only keep up with the easy money that is out there. Not as much left as there use to be

Sometimes it sounds like you're bullshitting us, Brian. But you know what you're talking about here. I concur. Is that still a popular saying?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Morning !

:)

My point is kinda moot - Having re-read what you posted... It is 100% correct, in itself, in its bubble...

By that I mean that what we used to earn is irrelevant - Where I was trying to go, was that in our heyday, the overall pool of money - available to all - was FUCKING SILLY...

Now? Not so much - hence GFY slowing down - hence my point :)

People have been saying the same shit since the begging ... for alot of these people that say no one cares anymore about boards... why are they here then posting left n right? Kinda ironic? lolol


Sure the board has changed over the years , but that is expected... You still have idiots and trolls , you still have alot of affs still whom you will never see post or stay in the shadows...


Hey if you people do not like this place just hand over your nicks and leave plain and simple.


Dont like the BS or some of the idiots on here? Just ignore em or fuck with them on occasion like me...


it is what you make of it ... life it short dont have a heart attack over a forum :2 cents::2 cents:



btw: My balls are so tichy

Deman is still there , maybe down a bit i agree but for anyone that keeps on saying the sky has fallen and so forth is just foolish.

If you cant change and modify to what porn is today then of course they will fail.


Another tip ...dont ever let people know what you own/do/sites and so forth or help people that you do not know personally well.. alot of scum here still that will just steal your ways and ideas...

I learned the hard way few years ago to never ever again help another soul unless i really know you and have a direct business dealing with them. :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup
