The buy sell section is hopping if that tells you anything.

The people making alot of money still aren't big board whores and spend 95 percent of their time working.

I'm pretty surprised at the amount of people just leaving and letting their stuff expire. Definetly shows who was doing real business and working hard all along and who was lazy but talked big game.

Alot of embarrassed big game talkers nowadays. I personally kinda like and hopefully the industry becomes smaller and more tight knit instead of a bunch of hooligans.

Oh yeah, real tough.

Yet, I still manage to keep Zuzana, konrad, Prezzz, Loch, GetNaughty, among many others busy with referral sales on top of my own websites, clip stores, and content productions.

I'm crying all the way to the bank. :1orglaugh
:pimp

Say what you want, whatever floats your boat and what makes you feel happy for a moment. You remain who you are and we will always remember you as the biggest spamming shitstain in the history of GFY.

Im still around and working on so many things ..Not really got the time to post as much as I did before

Let me clue you in on something Hamburgler... If I did not give a shit the first 6 dozen times you've repeated that same yoke in different threads for months, I do not care now.

Carry on.
:pimp

But you just said that many business owners left because of it? Make up your mind already.


Name dropping is cool. Definitely shows that youre a real playa.

:1orglaugh

You haven't been looking at all the forums. There's a certain type of webmaster forum that's exploding.

You do go out of your was to irritate people though footsies.

Like quoting my replies in designs threads with a link to zuzannas sales.
Then coming on my sales chat thinking you can anon harrass me..

first it was random.. then it got creepy.

How is it that you speak for all the *real* business owners? The real business owners have always read GFY. Many didn't post much if ever but everyone read it daily. And it was the flaming,and the drama that made GFY what it eventually became. It was the car crash that people couldn't resist. Take the car crashes away and there's not a lot left to look at. Or do you think that those *real* business owners are going to come on any forum and share the tricks and secrets that make them money.

Where is this? ADX is still pretty active but its always been a business oriented board.

PM me over there if you can post url here. thx

I didn't claim to. :2 cents:

However, I have been to many conferences over the years and talked to many fellow business owners face to face that have voiced that opinion. Many have also posted both here, as well as on other WM forums, that same opinion.

That said, you're correct. Many will still read GFY daily to keep up on the happenings, as well as other boards, however fewer are 'contributing' for lack of better word.

With douchebag trolls like the Dmeon are allowed to post here you wonder why people don't come here as much.

I am actually not going to waste my time going through a play by play with all of your half truths in detail. People can easily enough see your posts in my threads, and directed at me over the past week, before I ever even acknowledged your existance. More over, your chat log begging for me to consider you for some design work, and lastly me blowing you off and refusing to sell you content based on your previous antics of the past week.

Kinda funny you taking it so personal though. Catch ya in the next thread eh toots?
:pimp

hints? be generous, i'm not that bright.

MP is still spicy.
:winkwink:

mp slow and boring.

Depends on what you are looking for in WM boards. It rarely has any drama. ADX is still fairly active as well. That said, nothing is going to beat GFY for getting business done, and the activity.

There are a few that seem to be moving along ok. I can think of one fairly new one in particular which is growing at a very rapid rate, and 2-3 that are at least maintaining themselves with decent activity.

Banning the real people in this "biz" and keeping the fakes, trolls, surfers in isnt helping much either.

I mean, 90% of the threads here are either about random worldly bullshit or get trashed to death by members that dont have anything lost in adult.

Run a tighter ship. Get back to verifying who is who. Sure, gfy is fun, but it was about biz too or?

Now i see guys playing smart hiding behind a multitude of nicknames downtalking everyone. They once where icons but resort in trashing and trolling.

Too bad the right people get banned and dont even care to get back when the timeout period ends.

You all talk about how gfy is still alive. With what? Not with biz, bizwise its as dead as all the others, its time rules are there for everyone, not basef on what someone used to be decades ago.

Well said.

It's just a message board. The fate of the world doesn't hinge on it.

The fate of Mister Peabody's "World" does. Heh.

Actually not, but fun to let people think. :D

I did 100 times a day in every god damned topic including the one about Tabitha. Business my ass.

So the blackhat forums are booming with new memberships. 95% of the users are nothing more than scammers spamming facebook fanpages and craigslist for a few bucks a day. ery few pay any attention to real SEO and are not even true blackhats. Pay enough attention there and you'll see the majority of those forums are nothing but garbage too. Same deal as every other webmaster forum, good for making contacts, but nobody really shares anything that's worth while on the actual forum. Gotta wade through oceans of shit and nose your way into the right circles. Same old shit...

I never understood the whole fake nick thing. If you cant say what you want to say using your real nick then your just a straight up pussy. No other way around it.

Either that or you used to be a big dog but now your nothing and dont have the power to talk shit like you once did. If thats the case get fucking back to work and quit wasting your time being resentful and putting others down behind some bullshit nick.

Am I wrong? Whos got the balls to agree with me? If your a fake nick please explain to me why im wrong if indeed I am. I dont get it.

Edit*** I'll admit sometimes I will say some pretty harsh shit to people on the boards but its because they are idiots and talking out their asses. I guess the difference is I just dont give a fuck. If I dont know alot about the subject I just dont comment. :)

No one even knows whose fakenick I am. Booya.

its like an exclusive club that gets so exclusive, it goes out of business.

most adult webmaster forums are dead nowadays.

active forums are illegal forums with PAYSITE RIPS like extreme-board or pornbb.org...

there, you will see one new thread every second... and 5000 online users at all times.. incredible. new threads jumping to 3rd page overnight and getting thousand of views and dozens of replies every day.

if a sucker posts 5 links to rapidshare of the last BDSM DVD, he will get "too many thanks to show" in minutes...

all said.

man... do you remember great forums like thinkreel.com or videosboard.com? they are both dead... one is not even resolving and the other is still online ((to get money from the banner advertisers who didn't notice that forumis dead)) but gets with luck 1 new thread per week...

.

As long as im here GFY wont go anywhere.

When i got banned this place was fucking dead.

I can bring a thousand views in a thread without even blinking.

just keep the whiners off me and the GFY icq crew and everything will be fine.

ME ME ME

That was really bad and showed how low he can go to spam. Worthy of a life ban.

The board goes in cycles and every year as summer approaches it slows down. Part of the cycle is somebody posting that the board is slowing down and it is probably do to the lack of webmasters.

Probably due to you mean?

Total nonsense Sarah, sorry. The seasons are the cause? lol.

GFY fucked itself majorly with the whole tube skin debacle. Many really top notch people moved on after that.

Add the fact that it's now harder than I've ever seen it to make a decent crust in this business, more and more webmasters are either bailing on the game totally, or going part time and going back to work for the man.

When there's easy money to be made, people have more time to spend dicking around on boards. When their backs are against the wall, you give the board socialising up unless it's a core part of your business strategy.

Not the only cause but I have been on the boards for ages and there are indeed seasonal changes to the pace of the boards. It used to go along with the conventions..clearly people would be posting a lot before hand to get attention and then it would die down while the conventions were on. For the last few summers, the boards have been much slower over the summer and theb pick up again over the winter months. Go back and check and there has been a thread like this just about this time the last few years.

Now, yes, I agree that there more people with their heads down working and also that the surfer waves don't help. I am sure anybody that deals with support will agree that support has never been so busy and probably for the reason you mentioned - people are actually working hard.

Plus, there is a big intake of total newbie webmasters that have come, I think, from the general employment atmosphere in the real world. Seriously, in the last year I have had a great deal more total and utter newbies coming looking for help. I haven't seen that many in years.

So, no it isn't the only reason but yes there is a seasonal eb and flow of board activity.

It's summer, I don't know about you, but I want to work then get out of my house. :upsidedow

tube sites

yep i try to limit my time here because of it.

Never thought it would happen but this place is dead no matter what anyone says.

btw gfy went down when someone not so experienced in runinng forums decided to make the stupid subforums ... i told you so but who will listen to newbie :)

wtf are you talking about, some of the best forums around have dozens and dozens of subforums. if anything is the problem it's lack of moderation, where most other forums have entire teams and different levels of moderators working to keep things on track. none of that here.

Maybe Eric leaving Playboy, all the turmoil in the Industry, GFY supposedly being up for sale - maybe these are factors why no one is moderating?

Hey GFY: I volunteer to moderate GFY!
I'm sure things would improve then. :1orglaugh

Lower level volunteer moderators, and subforum specific moderators are nothing out of the ordinary on pretty much every other forum online. :2 cents: gfy is the only forum i know where they insist on leaving the moderation up to a couple paid employees.

I think you are dead on. All of the non-webmasters are gone. As the affiliate model dies there is no longer a need for worthless "account reps" that spend their days spamming boards. If you are an account rep you might want to consider learning a more useful skill asap.

Solid recommendation.
:thumbsup

Yep I've been to other boards where the mods don't fuck around. And don't EVER question a mods decision openly. There's no way some of these trolls would have been tolerated for more than a few posts.

yeh that shitty one you run where you and a handfullof retards tried to recreate net pond?

LOL nice try dipshit :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Which one is dat foo?
:helpme

It isnt a real one, its where this loser and two others losers have tried to get net pon and gfy users and failed badly.

I doubt ive seen such a bad attempt. proper retarded

It was just a nice try at spamming his retarded shit

:winkwink:

Hmm but look at it this way, with people going out of business right now, in a few years, those that remain profitable all the while will come out ahead. Shit, for example there are tons of crappy videos from the 90s that are low quality and unless its a certain girl someone likes or something, that content I assume isn't a big seller anymore (I dont know for certain since 99% of my stuff is 2010 lol). Now a few producers leave the market now, just more room for HD producers or whatever the next thing is when it comes to light.

Same with all the affiliates, with less sites following the affiliate model, those that do should be able to pick up more traffic I would think as webmasters with sites have less options on where to direct adult traffic, they will send to the few remaining contenders and help keep those ones afloat with more traffic.

Its just cleaning house time....
