I'd love for this board to go back to how it was: SOME mindless fun, useful debates and business.

There?s an old saying "don't mix business with pleasure"

GFY has some very smart members and it?s sad to see this place present them as bunch of irresponsible idiots. God knows what people must think when they see where the industry meets.

As for the Bro thing, every business on the planet has its Bro club and it?s something we are all introduced to as children. Some can some cannot, it?s a fact of life.

DigitalPimpShit 03-06-2008 09:44 PM

ban sigs. If you banned sigs on here there would be no reason for 3/4 of the sigwhore surfers to post anymore.
I used to read the board constantly, but now I only skim if I am bored and have already read porncity or netpond.

Now, as I am not a big GFY poster...more on that other board ;)..I must say this...for 1, the server here is too slow, it is one of the main reasons that keeps me away. I can't even wait when I am taking a shit, let alone to read about some sexy chick....I mean, come on people, we are in the fucking PORN industry!

But, the number one reason; is that I am actually too busy working to sit here and read about bullshit most of the day. Like Wizzo says, if there was more business being done, there would be much greater benefit to everyone involved.

But, I must say this, even though there is a ton of bullshit hidden under a ton of garbage here, there is a shit load of potential that can be gained from contacts alone on this board!

this is the only redeeming value gfy has. i've made some good contacts here, but when it comes down to discussing actual business related topics there's a couple forums which or must more resourceful, depending on the subject you wish to discuss.

Spunky 03-06-2008 09:51 PM

I avoid the drama and damn those whipper snappers! take them out back to the woodshed and cane the bastards

RogerV 03-06-2008 10:07 PM

I would post much more then. But got tired of the BS

JenniDahling 03-06-2008 10:07 PM

I look at gfy as the courtyard of Adult Webmaster High... there is a reason to be seen and to see what's going on, but the real deal goes down off the boards and the fortune is in the followup. That being said, the troll population is a bit scary.

you are sending subliminal love messages to me aren't you... :winkwink:

halfpint 03-06-2008 10:24 PM

I have learned a lot by just reading some of the posts you guys post on this board and I have also made some money from here, Its would be a disaster for us noobs If all the old webmasters stoped posting on here, as you are the guys with all the knowledge and being a newbie it all helps to read the views and experiences that you guys have had over the years.

Nicky 03-06-2008 10:29 PM

I'm liking this thread more and more, it has something old school over it :)

TMM_John 03-06-2008 10:37 PM

I don't think it is an age issue. Most of us were young when we got started in this business. I don't think it's a "newbie" issue. We were all new once and this industry does need a flow of new ideas and people. I don't even think it is so much a "maturity" issue. Many of the successful people in this biz lack maturity in some sense of the word. (And that keeps it fun at times)

I think the problem this board has is the number of people here who aren't even in the industry and/or they don't take it seriously and treat it as a business.

If you need drama I think I have some I can loan you.

CuriousToyBoy 03-06-2008 11:00 PM

Either Wizzo gets his way or I am taking my bat and ball and going home ......

;-)

crockett 03-06-2008 11:07 PM

I'd love to see that.. I'm up for fucking around and having a laugh, but the amount of useless contest tards on this board is getting old.

This board would likely improve 10 fold if they just got rid of the fucking contests. That would be a wonderful fucking start.

I still can't believe that to this day sponsors haven't figured out the contest are a fucking joke full of leaches that couldn't send a sale if their life depended on it.

emthree 03-06-2008 11:08 PM

I went from visiting GFY 50 times daily to once a week.

esnem 03-06-2008 11:13 PM

contests not only make the board look like a spammed inbox, they attract idiots as well.

candyflip 03-06-2008 11:18 PM

If we keep saying that it won't ever happen, maybe it will do the opposite.

Lately, that's how it seems to go here.

CarlosTheGaucho 03-06-2008 11:35 PM

Well, I suppose I did my time but I am far from beeing old school enough to talk about this, but in all modesty, I guess I try to CONTRIBUTE somehow when it's about a topic I have a feeling I can contribute to, I guess that's the key..

You may want to put a troll in and wait for a response, a feel of a virtual excitement, but you can as well do that on boards you belong to..

I have to agree. You probably recall the days of Content Lotto. One of the best things about it was besides being fun, it targeted webmasters. I know our advertisers appreciated that.

X37375787 03-07-2008 12:31 AM

Despite being out of adult for 3 years now, I do remember the day I scored my very first sale with DrunkSluts. Cheers Wizzo.

NinjaSteve 03-07-2008 01:07 AM

I nominate you, Wizzo, to get things rollin'

brand0n 03-07-2008 01:17 AM

I'm certainly not saying we should all be bros or whatever, but there's a major difference between the old ynot, porncity, netpond, early gfy pissing matches and today's. Many times now it seems like its watching Mike Tyson fighting a handicapped kid, but I really think many of the newer generation of webmasters can benefit from the experience of some of us that have been around from early days.

I know this might be a futile effort, but I think that there's still enough webmasters and guys making money in this biz that we could make this place, somewhere that could be of more benefit to all of us...

So any other ADULT webmasters interested in bringing it back?

Gosh, this is a webmaster board. Who would have thunk it?

MikeSmoke 03-07-2008 02:42 AM

Of course, I agree with Wizzo, BUT...

the problem is that despite what people say, *almost everyone* does at least check out GFY once or twice a day - so it remains the best place to find someone or something quickly.......AND it also remains the place where the contest whores and sig whores and kiddies are alllowed (or encouraged) to come and play.

It's very tough to serve two masters, no matter how many people try to change things....especially if page views are the name of the game.

Big_D 03-07-2008 02:48 AM

Agreed wizzo, i do find a lot of useful info here, but the drama outweighs it all. Well put. I wasn't here in the beginning, but in the 2 years I have been here ive seen a lot of change.

Dennis69 03-07-2008 03:24 AM

Back in the day GFY use to be full of little gold nuggets posted all over the place... now most of the posts are just blops of shit :disgust

WebCashMaker 03-07-2008 03:43 AM

I am interested.
