The jealousy continues....listened to 'Elecric' all night last night, awesome!

But about this thread, here's the thing: Being "in the business". Okay, what about that ONE GUY, who's a small-time webmaster from, say, Kansas. He makes maybe $500 a month doing this part-time. He comes on here to check things out, etc. Should he be banned? What's his 'role" in the "industry"?

Just saying. What about someone who just writes blog descriptions? Anyway, I do agree the trolling should be less and the business-talk more but actually corraling these wild sheeple may be too much for anyone to deal with.

Yep sadly. But it never hurts to ask.

The conditions of the internet and our business have changed since 10 years ago. Just suggesting that for the good of all of us in the adult biz who post here...it might be time to make a change to keep up with the times and what is happening.

But hell, if you think it's cool to keep things like this. And apparently nobody else really gives a fuck one way or another, then I ain't gonna fight over it.

As I have now been schooled by all the smarter guys here on GFY here is what I learned:

1. Everyone of you needs non-adult industry surfers on here to make sure the board keeps you entertained.

2. Everyone of you needs non-adult industry surfers on here because GFY can't survive selling ads to sponsor programs targeted to adult webmasters only without making sure that there are NON-adult surfers here to create useless non-targeted "views"

3. Everyone of you needs non-adult industry surfers on here because let's just be honest...a lot of guys on GFY don't get much attention. And if it were only real adult industry people here there wouldn't be enough page views for all the witty repartee. But when you can post up something and have hundreds...maybe thousands of views, well by gosh you are important!

Okay.
I got it.

I asked Eric publicly to PLEASE clean the joint up. He is ignoring me...which means that you are right and he ain't gonna do it.

There isn't any crime in asking. :)

Those guys would absolutely be in here.

That's all related to the business. Designers, programmers, blog writers...all of them. I've known Eric since the mid 90's and he knows everybody in this business pretty much. And knowing Eric, I know he has the common sense that if a person emailed him and said: "Hey, I'm just starting out and this is what I do (write blogs, program, whatever)"
Eric is not gonna say "no"

He does that NOW. This board is closed to the general public right now and you can't read it without logging in. And he is taking a close look at new registrations is what I've been told.

So NONE of that would change.

The only thing that would change would be the thousands of fake nics that are on here stirring shit.

THEY would have to say to Eric: "This is who I am and this is what I do"

Can't understand why so many folks on here are all up in arms and screaming "censorship" and "We love trolls"

This wouldn't affect an adult industry troll at all. And nobody would be censored.

And if a person comes to Eric wanting to get into the board and they try to weasel in claiming to be just starting out etc., then they better be on their best behavior until they get their adult biz rolling and can really back up their claims before they come in here and start attacking like a rabid dog.

But I suppose the majority on here just don't want to see that happen. :(

I wish I was there mang! :pimp

You can check out my review of the show at http://tptrash.com/ scroll down the page to "Robbie's Rants"

We need a committee. I nominate McCarthy to the head.

That's good to hear 'cause I generally stick up for the "little guy" because I was one of 'em AND I have a little wee-wee. So there ya go. LOL

But seriously - the fake nicks GOTTA go. I mean, some people fucking ARGUE with THEMSELVES for Christ's sake! makes me wonder what people actually DO with their time, ya know? me, I only come on here when my computer is tied up doing four things at once to kill some time til I can, you know, actually WORK again. LOL

Robbie, why don't you reply with your list of surfers. Not users you disagree with and don't like, but purely surfers. We can start there...

Oh yea, remember to post proof

Why would I have to? I don't have a "list of surfers"

And I already said...I don't have any reason to want to ban someone I don't "like" or disagree with.

If you guys don't want to take it down to adult biz only and leave it wide open for the gideongalleries of the world then so be it. You work for the company and obviously by your smart ass comment to me about "post proof" you've made your position clear.

This is your house. I made a suggestion to clean it up a bit. You said no. End of story.

250 surfer forums

A two hundie and a fiddy candyflip's admitting they are no longer in the industry.
:pimp

252 reasons to get back to WORK. Oh right - that was Robbie's point. Ne'ermind.

you INDUSTRY guys are so much cooler than us - I wish I could be one of the cool guys :(

You started the thread, that's why.

I'm still here. Not sure where you ever saw that.

yep, and the thread asked if they could please get everybody that is currently registered to show that they are indeed in the industry to the ADMINS. Not me.

I really don't understand any of you guys having a problem with that. But then again, I don't understand half the shit you guys say and do. So carry on.

You're right, you did indeed say that. I have no problem with it, in fact I'm fairly sure that the admins know me and what I do

I think they know most of us and it would be fairly simple if they wanted to do it. Judging from the response from BarryP I'm gonna go with "no" they don't want to do it.

I was just asking and presenting the case in favor of it. Looks to me like the vast majority here like having guys like gideongallery in here laughing at them and the possibility of more guys like fmltube in here "investigating" them.

Weird to me that I'm always seeing threads talking about how people need to adapt or die and that they need to change their biz model from the one of 10 years ago...but when I mentioned maybe getting rid of some non-adult industry people...suddenly it was "If it ain't broke don't fix it"

I'd just like to apologize to all of y'all for having the sheer audacity to suggest something that I thought would be a good thing. My bad.

Apology excepted.

If you didn't understand what I was saying and explained the several differences between pirated porn vs pirated movies and why people still pay for movies more than they do for porn then, yeah you are stupid if you couldn't follow what I said. I think a 3 year old could, so I can only assume you are stupid or avoiding the question.

So there is MAJOR mainstream tube sites in Europe for movies, but none in the us? Any links to the ones in eurpoe ?

there is barely any moderation on this board, do you really think they have the man power (or care to) to go through 1000's of people to verify who is in the industry or not ? And what constitutes being in the industy, do I need to give them a user/pass to one of the companies I promote so they can log in and see I make sales? or do I need to scan a copy of a check and email it to them?

everything else a side, the idea is not pratical. If you want to make changes cleaning things up at least try to think of something that might have a chance at being doable.

how about posting a test that could not simply be bought your way around

using an original amount of bought traffic and just plowing every penny of the per signup into just buying more traffic.

live cams still sell well and they pay well, if you don't care about turning a profit
and just going for signups it really easy to hit any target number you want.

otherwise it just a bitch fest because you want to censor people you disagree with.

A week later, and gideongallery comes in spouting some crazy ass nonsense that makes ZERO sense at all.

Don't worry gideongallery. You are safe now at GFY. BarryP. spoke to me about as disrespectful as anybody could. So I'm guessing he don't "like" me. So you and all the other people who are in here for no other reason than starting shit are gonna be A-OK

Now you can come in here without fear that I might pull some kind of "friendship"card with Eric on you. Obviously he isn't a friend of mine either anymore. So you are free to troll you crazy, crazy diamond you.

well your solution is an impossible

all it takes to be an adult webmaster is 8 buck and a good sponsor

hell own tanyajames.com and redirect it to her official site and you can easily do 1 signup a month.

which means your supposed let make this an industry board bullshit is nothing more than an attempt to censor free speach.

which is sort the entire point between you and me, i defend free speach, even agains the copyright monopoly and you want to believe that copyright holders have complete control even to the level of censoring free speach commentary.

you're wrong again gideongallery. Eric already knows 99% of the adult biz people on GFY personally. And why would anyone go to all that trouble that you are babbling about and NOT start making money and actually BE in the adult biz.

Only you gideongallery. The number one talker on GFY who NEVER has backed anything up.

I feel so sorry for your parents having to support a middle aged thief/pirate loving parasite like you.

for someone who keeps claiming you have a right to make money from your content you keep asking me to give you my content for free.

it funny when i ask you to do the same thing you keep demanding of me (put your content in the public domain if i prove my shit) you always backpeddle.



you telegraphed yourself when i mentioned first mentioned that you could buy your way to adult webmaster status for any level eric wanted to set you responded


it has nothing to do with keeping this board industry only, and everything to do with censoring me.

funny thing is all you had to do to shut me up from the start was simply agree to put your shit in the public domain if you used any of the techniques i showed all your buddy here.

hell if your way was so good that means absolutely nothing to you since you would keep doing what your currently doing.

LOL!

You don't HAVE ANY CONTENT! What the fuck are you going on about now?

And yes you fucking moron...I do "claim" to have the "right" to make money from my content.

Somebody up there in Canada please shoot this crazy motherfucker?

Dear GOD you are delusional.

Earth to Gideon: YOU HAVE NEVER SHOWN ANY OF MY "BUDDIES" ANYTHING ON HERE. NOTHING!

You haven't done anything EVER. And when thedoc gave you the chance you ran away like a scared bitch and wouldn't even email him.

This is hilarious!

I'm just lurking waiting for Private School Jewel to finally open..

errr wait.....

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

LMAO!!! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

this thread is providing some outstanding entertainment value.... Thanks Robbie! :thumbsup




.

Don't thank me Michael...thank the prescription drugs that gideongalleries mom takes. Because he apparently raids the medicine cabinet and has hallucinations from her prescription drugs. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I can't believe the insanity that spews from his mouth!

Newsflash: trolls can be fleeced. That's why they're tolerated here.

But feeding them is frowned upon. :D
