Is GFY just a joke now?

That reminds me, I forgot one:
- Find JohnnyClips, glue him to a chair, put up a streaming event, where you nail each of his fingers through a keyboard. Sell it as a Webinar on how to handle forum-spammers

trump for president 2016

I have only been on here for 6 years or so, and I have learned and continue to learn a ton from this board. Of course one of the first things I should have learned is that there is a lot of useless bullshit on here.

If you can avoid feeding the trolls, it's still the best place I can think of to check a companies reputation with affiliates, see if there are any scam complaints against individuals and get breaking industry news (though for that you need a strong bullshit filter)

I think the decline in business talk here is just a result of this being a small community, most of us are already aware of companies that provide services we need, and as for affiliates there just aren't that many anymore.

Big tubes are the affiliates now and you don't need a forum to find them. The wild west is tamed, for now - until the next big thing, whatever that turns out to be.

300K, could be debated in Parliament

Story highlights

UK petition created in response to Trump's call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.
Any petition that gets more than 100,000 signatures is considered for parliamentary debate

London (CNN)A petition calling for Donald Trump to be banned from entering the UK has attracted more than a quarter of a million signatures -- more than enough for a committee to consider sending the motion for parliamentary debate.

The petition to block the front-running Republican presidential candidate from entering the country was created on the British government's official petitions website in response to Trump's call Monday to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. due to the threat of terrorism.

"The UK has banned entry to many individuals for hate speech. The same principles should apply to everyone who wishes to enter the UK," read the petition, which was created by Suzanne Kelly, a woman from Aberdeen, Scotland, who has previously campaigned against Trump's political and business activities.

"If the United Kingdom is to continue applying the 'unacceptable behavior' criteria to those who wish to enter its borders, it must be fairly applied to the rich as well as poor, and the weak as well as powerful," the petition stated.

300,000 and counting

By Wednesday evening, the petition had gained more than 300,000 signatures, with the number climbing rapidly.

Any petition that gets more than 100,000 signatures is considered by Parliament's Petitions Committee, which weighs whether to send the petition for debate by lawmakers in Parliament.

The committee will consider what to do with the petition on January 5, according to the House of Commons information office.

The Home Office told CNN that the home secretary has the power to exclude individuals, but there is currently no suggestion that this would be the case with Trump.

'Hate speech'

Kelly, who writes for a citizen journalist website, Aberdeen Voice, has previously written reports documenting issues with Trump's development of a high-end golf resort in Aberdeen, which saw him come into conflict with locals.

She had earlier started a petition asking Aberdeen's Robert Gordon University to strip Trump of an honorary degree it bestowed on him five years ago.

That petition, which attracted more than 38,000 signatures, argues that Trump's "unrepentant, persistent verbal attacks on various groups of people based on nationality, religion, race and physical abilities are a huge detriment" to the university.

Kelly wrote on the Aberdeen Voice website that her latest petition, to ban Trump from the UK, would allow British residents "who want to stand up against hate speech ... the opportunity to do so."

"We are looking at a US Presidential candidate who wants to institute policies which to me are fascism," she wrote. "People have been barred from the United Kingdom for less."

Brits peeved

Trump's remarks prompted outrage at home and internationally. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the comments effectively "disqualifies him from serving as president."

His followup remarks a day later -- that parts of London were so radicalized that British police feared for their lives -- particularly rankled in the UK.

British Prime Minister David Cameron, who doesn't usually comment on U.S. presidential candidates, said through a spokesman that Trump's comments were "divisive, unhelpful and quite simply wrong."

London's Metropolitan Police issued a statement inviting the Republican candidate to a briefing "on the reality of policing London," while the remarks also drew a sharp response from London Mayor Boris Johnson.

"Donald Trump's ill-informed comments are complete and utter nonsense," Johnson said. "The only reason I wouldn't go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump."

But his comments may also have found some sympathizers in a country wary of the ISIS threat. Another petition on the UK government website calls on British leaders to "stop all immigration and close the UK borders until ISIS is defeated."

That petition, which cited ISIS threats to send jihadists to Europe among refugees, has gathered more than 440,000 signatures since it was launched in September, but was rejected by the British government.

"The UK government has no intention of closing Britain's borders, as this would create more problems than it would solve," the British Home Office wrote in rejecting the proposal.

CNN's Carol Jordan, Monica Sarkar, Natalie Orchard and Milena Veselinovic contributed to this report.

There's an easy way to beat the idiots. NEVER reply to their threads. Even to tell the to fuck off. Reply to the business and interesting ones.

The idiots thread soon disappear.

JohnnyClips has over 150 replies on his posts so they keep returning to the top.

You gave me the same response. 2011.

There is nothing obvious. You are using a post count and join date to judge someones knowledge of GFY and the industry itself. Hey, whatever.

true, honestly I have been ignoring the main GFY thread all together for a while, it just got so ridiculous I had to chime in

I will go back to ignoring tomorrow

join date would obviously correlate with knowing how GFY operated in the past how could it not?

This exactly. Ignore them and eventually they will go away. By responding to their threads you give in to weakness, in turn making them more powerful.

Skywalker!!! (shouting in disgust)

Logic tells me that it doesn't always.

no dont plz dont trolling is all i have dont take that away from me

It doesn't need a join date to confirm a poster is an idiot.

guess you missed Fucking Around & Program Discussion

Exactly! I do a lot of fucking around and the only "program" I want to discuss these days is The Walking Dead.

Ever heard of lurkers? They can lurk for years before they register.

This place is what it's always been since lensman got out... A 6 figure a month business treated and ran as an afterthought. Of course it had to implode. Most businesses in the real world are struggling to completely reinvent themselves every 4-6 years - this is a place where the best ideas have been to get people to write self serving, self promoting posts about an aspect of the biz or fake awards based on who begs the most for votes.

No one has ever stopped to seriously ask "what is a community", "how do you build and foster the habit of coming here daily to find something of interest".... but instead just banned people on a whim without every considering the unintended consequences, without a purpose and without a plan.

The problem is not the industry - the problem is that any business left on autopilot, with only erratic and infrequent management will die.

Anyone that skins this board is a fucking nitwit - for what? To provide a backdrop to brassmonkey copy and paste racist/death news and wehateporn taking about how water is something your body doesn't need? Anyone that skins this board should be fired from their jobs, it's a simple as that.

Once again TheSquealer is right on the money.

this place isn't a joke Eric added the ability to post VIMEO videos a couple of days ago.

85% Joke
