Can You Believe A Mainstream Webmaster Board Charges $150 A Year To Post! - GoFuckYourself.com

GTS Mark · 09-30-2006, 09:10 PM

I won't post the url because my peeps at GFY won't appreciate it. But it's one of the largest mainstream webmaster boards.

I was flabbergasted!! $89 for 6 months pre-paid posting ability or $150 for 1 year pre-paid LOL!

GFY would be worth billions if they instituted the same rules/charges.

thats serious, i bet they have big players on that board

chaze · 09-30-2006, 09:16 PM

I guess that's why I never heard of it. Sounds like a slew for spam. No thanks!

cess · 09-30-2006, 09:17 PM

what a joke, lol.

Fizzgig · 09-30-2006, 09:18 PM

That's really interesting. I wonder how it's working out for them?

tony286 · 09-30-2006, 09:19 PM

It must be a very serious board

GTS Mark · 09-30-2006, 09:34 PM

It doesn't have any banner advertising, it makes it's money from the posters.

fris · 10-01-2006, 03:37 PM

Most people on mainstream boards don't have a clue but you can meet some pretty good people sometimes.

Sounds a bit pricey considering our private forums are only $48 a year.

If it is the board we all think it is, just pay it as it rocks.

TheJimmy · 10-01-2006, 03:55 PM

I've been a member there for years, it's decent but you can find a lot of the same type of information elsewhere. If you're looking for eyeballs then it is what it is... But what is giving me a bit of a chuckle here is that you're saying that a few bucks a year is too much to pay to get those eyeballs?

Please don't make me point out the irony in this.

marketsmart · 10-01-2006, 03:59 PM

i wonder what board that is...

Not sure, this place would be empty once all broke sigwhores left it. However, it could actually become more profitable even with 1/5th of the members left.
