    Are adult boards something of the past?

    I think it might be. I remember how it was back in 2000+, i even had a board myself which was doing pretty well, however nothing compared to large boards.

    In recent years since 2010 or so board having become quite and a place to just post porn and unrelated stuff. Real business between webmaster is not taking place any longer and quality people are hard to find. Gfy is still ok but could be better. Besides gfy it is a dying part of the industry it seems.

    What are you thoughts about it and do you still see it as a viable way to do business and or have you find other channels to get business (done).

      I am just as guilty as posting random shit, however other than "spam" there are few if not no useful industry tips and partnerships / mentoring being shared here.

      In the past, there were way more helpful threads and I believe a lot less scamming of one another.

      The board here still has value. Don't want it to go, but I think it kills far more of my time rather than being productive.

                          As you say there are still good knowledgeable folks here, but you have to put on blinders if you want it to be a net productive experience. I decided to stay out of any conspiracy, race baiting, Russia vs USA, personal drama, etc threads and the experience is way better since - it basically sifts out all the assholes, mentally ill, & OCD idiots because they rarely participate in actual business threads.

                          But yeah, most of the webmaster boards are dead. Besides here I still post over at Ynot often - there are maybe just 20 regular posters there but they're all quality longtime folks (well YMMV with Markham) with minimal bullshit.

                          The industry has simply contracted big-time, no two ways about it. And though economically it's improved from the worst recession tubes-are-killing-us-all days, there's not a lot of new blood coming in, plus more & more slices of the pie (and traffic) are getting gobbled up by the big players. So fewer of us smaller operations who are more likely to post on the boards and actually get some use out of them.

                                  The board are what you make of them.

                                  By that I mean, not just here by forums in general, including non-adult. Most forums are filled with drama, and whining and bickering back and forth. All seem to have some degree of posters from CNN or Fox News to stir the pot. I think the main difference now is, you have 90% bullshit and 10% gems. You simply have to search for them more than before.

                                  Most seem to admit to at least reading GFY if they no longer post here, or on forums. Often times people simply reach out to you on PM/IM when they see a post or something of interest versus going back and forth in a thread for a week with fragment sentences.

                                  I would much rather jump on a 15-30 minute phone call to kick ideas back and forth, or discuss whatever topic at hand for the query, versus bickering and bullshit on forums for a week. Forums have their use and value, depending on your end goal. I simply think most people's priorities have changed on how they use the forums in general.

                                      forums in general are a dated thing.

                                              Pretty much this

                                              I can get more/better info from a handful of Facebook groups than on boards these days. Some of those groups have their full-of-shit posts/people too, but they quickly get called out. I don't really do much adult anyways, but even mainstream boards aren't what they used to be.

                                                                                                                                      In recent years since 2010 or so board having become quite and a place to just post porn and unrelated stuff. Real business between webmaster is not taking place any longer and quality people are hard to find. Gfy is still ok but could be better. Besides gfy it is a dying part of the industry it seems.

                                                                                                                                      What are you thoughts about it and do you still see it as a viable way to do business and or have you find other channels to get business (done).

                                                                                                                                      Forums are good seo-wise, beacuse it is fresh, and user generated content, so you dont have to work on adding it. It is hard to get people from one place to anohter, like people who signed up here, to another website of the same type. It is not impossible though. I've seen one very good website of this type, recently. It looks like it is growing very fast.

I remember how it was back in 2000+, i even had a board myself which was doing pretty well, however nothing compared to large boards.

                                                                                                                                                                  In recent years since 2010 or so board having become quite and a place to just post porn and unrelated stuff. Real business between webmaster is not taking place any longer and quality people are hard to find. Gfy is still ok but could be better. Besides gfy it is a dying part of the industry it seems.

                                                                                                                                                                  What are you thoughts about it and do you still see it as a viable way to do business and or have you find other channels to get business (done).

                                                                                                                                                                  you are not looking at it right.. One thing surf sigs here..

People communicating privately, and being more selective of what they post publicly, is the current reality, especially on boards like GFY that are public with no verification process other than an email.

                                                                                                                                                                                          What's hurting the industry is organized crime (posing as paying members) stealing from members areas to post on specific filesharing & tube sites, in a specific way. People still pay for porn, and when you can have access to the most recent updates ( within hours ) from every porn site on the internet, who are you going to pay?

                                                                                                                                                                                          The criminals have caused all the low hanging fruit to sell their sites cheap or close shop, the good news is they don't realize the value and fortitude of who's left. The criminals got complacent. To this day they don't realize who's tracking what they do, where, and how much information they've gathered.

                                                                                                                                                                                          It's important to remember, and honor, the customer base out there that subscribes to the actually paysite. A big thank you to all of them, they are what sustains us and enable us to move forward through these challenging times.
