Lens wipes his ass with our ideas.

haha exactly.
But he doesn't own it anymore
so he doesn't give a shit either way

Then they would be losing money when someone skins the board.

I shouldn't be telling you this because in some areas you're smarter than I am
but don't you think that its common business practice that when your product value decreases you don't decrease the price but add more stuff to the package ?
And I think you can see how the advertising packages got more addons to keep the prices the same.

I don't know if my perspective is at all common, but when those every-three-messages buttons appeared, I almost quit GFY. They still bug the heck out of me precisely because they cannot be turned off and if I used a board often enough I would certainly take the time to find another.

The reason being that for me, the value of visiting GFY has been going down and down. Fewer sponsors post news here now than in the past and a lot have got better about emailing affiliates anyway. As to the rest, between the real kiddies, the sig whores and the handful of reps who really play GFY, the junk ratio has gone through the roof. So now, even with sigs off, I have to plough through a bunch of ads on every thread anyway? And if this idea were adopted it would be a lot worse.

I understand that it is necessary to try to reverse declining revenue, or simply make more, but I think GFY is very close to the point where a lot of things will turn out to be counter-productive very quickly.

I dont care I learn to ignore adverts

brilliant idea...

see sig.

post whoring abuse on gfy ... noooooooooooooooo, say it isn't so
:winkwink:

50.....,...

50 money making ideas

edit: sigh

you know, I would buy that ad space under my name for the simple fact that I don't want someone elses company there. that was one of the firsat things that bugged me about that being there, within the first couple of days of it being there someone icq'ed me asking me some questions about whatever advertiser was there, like I was a rep or I owned it or something

that kind of irritated me

I think sigs are enough.
