Nothing will ever change on this forum as long as the $$$ is coming in.

Count on that.

Pretty much. Why would they fuck with it if it's making them money?

Too many people with nothing to lose, and too many big program owners that don't care how they get their money. The latter, encouraging the former to be more and more rogue and not care who they fuck over or steal from.

Money talks, always has. I would pay, I would submit an application and get approved, whatever if this board lost 50% surfers and contest whores.

The guys who started it made their fortune and fucked off.

The guys running it now don't care or have no clue what to do with it cause its still generating revenue.


Time to move on to something else.

I know I barely read this forum anymore and haven't learned a single thing from it in over a year

I treat it like a book for 3 year olds. I don't read it, I just come to look at JFK's pictures.

honestly... If gfy eliminated signatures entirely, then 90% of the surfers would have no reason to be here posting BS 100x a day so they can sell sig spots.. I think posting simply to increase posts counts for the prospect of sig selling accounts for the majority of the stupidity around here..

Then we'd be left with the other 10% that come here to cause controversy could more easily be deal with. (5% that just come here because they're bored on disability and another 5% because their parents don't monitor their online activities)

If there was a paid board, some of the money could be used to hire a full time mod. Any non-biz or bullshit post could be moved to the regular 'fucking around' board. I think 'fucking around' is still where most of the action will be, same as most other boards that separate biz and general discussion.

:1orglaugh best analogy so far :thumbsup

I try to avoid sponsors that create contest threads as much as possible. :2 cents:

It's sad, there are plenty of good boards with potential out there, but they always scrape along because everyone comes back to GFY because that's where the news is... if you avoid GFY and only hit the smaller boards you still end up missing out.

I've seen the idea of a paid section mentioned numerous times over the several years I've been here. I don't think you are the first nor the last to suggest it.

True! And more money could definitely be made by having one pay business forum for adults.

Last I checked, that's what the online adult industry is all about - taking a concept that is making money - improve, expand and grow it into making even more money. :2 cents:

this thread made me think for three pages.

after i finished reading, i thought about what i wanted to say with this post (not always my first instinct).

when i finish writing it, i am going to think about whether or not i really want to hit the submit button (again, not my first instinct).

i might even go outside and have a cigarette first.

thats my new policy. :thumbsup

i just deleted several babbling paragraphs because i have no right to say anything else in this thread.

it took 52 minutes to get from page 1 to the submit button.

i think if everyone did what i just did, this thread might not have been on page 5.

The only way for this board to be taken seriously is if the owners of this board start taking it seriously. There's a million teenage non-webmasters and trolls, and even people purporting to be real webmasters (SleazyDream comes to mind) who are just here to troll.

I mean... I said it years ago; those people need to simply be banned. Anyone know why SexEd was here for years? Anyone know why Rhino22 never got banned from the get-go? I mean, there's been countless situations where people obviously aren't webmasters, and nobody cares.

The solution is simple. The board needs to get selective with who they allow to contribute, and not be purely concerned with delivering page-views to advertisers.

Even better.. They should just disable certain people's sigs selectively.

PS: these threads are useless.. They obviously have a policy of letting this community run free, short of breaking the rules and being a total racist jackass. Deal with it, cuz that's how it is. If they instituted any of the changes that get brought up here weekly, it would just get all fucked up too. Why do we always scream for rules and no rules at the same time, depending on how we feel at the time in this industry? :)

shut up! you're only here to get laid!!! :1orglaugh:winkwink:

I agree with wizzo! :thumbsup

Bump for the take over!
