Man it's weird you not being at Playboy anymore. In my mind I never equate "eric" with "gfy" I always think "playboy"

I'm gonna have to re-wire that side of my brain. You are now "Mr. GFY"

Hell, this board still feels "new" to me. It didn't exist for a few years when we all started.

No but seriously, good luck. Thanks for doing your best to keep GFY bearable for the people who aren't big jerks.

**EllaBlack** · 05-20-2010, 04:33 PM

Good Luck with any and all endeavors!

**Honez** · 05-20-2010, 04:33 PM

I would wish you luck in whatever your journey brings next but, you don't need it

Glad you and the Ban Hammer will be sticking around the parts. It just wouldn't be the same without you.

**3xTom** · 05-20-2010, 04:41 PM

You will be greatly missed

**GTS Mark** · 05-20-2010, 04:43 PM

Yes Sir Robbie, we go back to far before this board and before I even took this position. When I was a TGP Submitter and traffic guy back in 98-99.

As far as the titles. I guess the evolution kinda went like this

Eric at GFY
Eric at AmateurPages
Eric at Adult.com
Eric at Playboy

Man the memories!

**CDSmith** · 05-20-2010, 04:57 PM

Moving forward, Playboy and I have structured a deal that will retain my services on a consultant basis to help manage and maintain GFY, as well as continue to manage GFY?s vast advertising client list. I am also looking forward to continuing to work directly with Playboy to keep evolving GFY.

Your continued role as head babysitter here has been appreciated much more than you know. The fact you'll be continuing in that capacity is maybe the best news of all,

but congrats on the other stuff as well. Best of luck with all of it.

I remember you grabbing me at the Sands Expo Center to judge some kind of titty contest at one of the shows a long time ago. And I remember sitting there drunk and high out of my mind trying to look "cool"

Good times...

Well, if you are in Vegas anytime soon and need a little extra income I can use you as a stunt cock for a scene with CM. lol

Seriously, keep me informed about what you do next to replace your gig at Playboy.

**Adam_M** · 05-20-2010, 04:59 PM

Wish you all the best Eric for everything in your future and see you in Amsterdam!

**XPays** · 05-20-2010, 05:09 PM

It is a pleasure working with you and looking forward to many more years of deal-making together! You deserve a lot of credit for all your contributions bromigo.

**KBoogie** · 05-20-2010, 05:14 PM

WOW Eric! You've always been sooooo super cool to me and extremely helpful (and patient, hehe). Good luck in everything though I know you don't need it.

**mpahlca** · 05-20-2010, 05:15 PM

Man did no one read that you are still running the site just as a consultant? It's odd how people read a title and not the post oh well. Glad you should have more freedom and it's a move that seems to be really in line with Playboys strategy of outsourceing any of their non core competencies. Congrats on a really smart move.

**RyuLion** · 05-20-2010, 05:27 PM

It was bound to happen man. nuf said.

**minddust** · 05-20-2010, 05:27 PM

Good luck and all the best in whatever you do Eric

Does that mean my first and ever "ban warning" is lifted?

**GAMEFINEST** · 05-20-2010, 05:28 PM

as long as you handling gfy..all good
