Uhmm... anything that Brad Shaw does is an imitation of someone else's stuff.

And I'm not saying that to be mean.. he'll tell you the same thing straight up.

If it works, why not do it too?

AVM · 07-03-2004, 10:47 PM

Forums and Hosting companies aren't exactly the latest business move - In fact, I'd consider both to be some of the most saturated markets online. Everyone has a forum, be it adult or some obscure topic. And hosting companies? All newbies have $9.95 reseller accounts, pawning off their one man, fly by night service, as some huge datacenter.

Dagwolf · 07-04-2004, 12:08 AM

Success is often imitated ... I forget the rest. Anyway, GFY is big because we're here... I have a message board too; it won't make money until people go to it. Heck, I don't even go to it

Err... I think Brads hosting company has been around for alot longer than Jupiter.
No idea whos is "better", but this isn't really about that.

I think GFY is GFY for a bunch of reasons.

#1 because they have an awesome brand name for the occassion

#2 probably being because they were the first big threaded forum success on the scene & therefor they have the largest searchable post archive.

Somewhere you can factor in the promos, drama & the fact that so many new people manage to find this place daily.

I see a lot of forums these days offering $$ per post... but imo, that isn't what makes a good forum.

You gotta work it ;)

Anyway for those that really care about this stuff... someone did an interview with Lensman awhile back and they were talking aobut the success of GFY.

Because Lensman makes a lot of money? Shuttup, chump.

polish_aristocrat · 07-04-2004, 02:56 AM

What's wrong in opening a new hosting company, when he has all the resources to do it?

Indy the real one · 07-04-2004, 03:45 AM

The first big pornwebmaster's forum was porncity.net where Lensman was posting on a daily basis.

He then "copied" porncity by opening GFY which became the success we all know today.

Everybody copy everybody in this biz....

ytcracker · 07-04-2004, 07:54 AM

i had a wired magazine a while back where this gentleman was discussing new revelations in business and he said the most successful innovators are often the most successful imitators

i am inclined to agree

Project-Shadow · 07-04-2004, 08:04 AM

We talking about Cristal hosting? I was under the impression that he's just helping out a friend.

Bradshaw is a nice guy, fuck the haters.

EviLGuY · 07-04-2004, 10:19 AM

If you are going to emulate someone.. you could do a hell of a lot worse then Lensman.

Doctor Dre · 07-04-2004, 11:35 AM

Global, who are you, and what business do you run?

Just curious, because you post shit about everyone here...

And try to play the big tough rich guy...

Yeah, thats what I thought.

LOL, most of you don't realize that there were other boards BEFORE GFY....

2001 was already up there... some of us have been doing this since 96...

I came around in 98 and already back then it was the era of netpond, then Adultwebmasterinfo.... and before that it was Ynot...

boards come and go, it's great that GFY is still rocking after 3+ years
