Question from a noob
 

I am starting to break into this field little by little and have genuinely utilized this site for advice and information in a short time. However it seems from what people are writing, either re-doing the forums could be counterproductive or making some forums pay only (and it seems the thought of the cost is going up). I also notice that people are associating serious people with an economical success rate that maybe 5-10% of the community here has.

I may not be familiar with this field, but I am very familiar with running a business and running a few sites. I am sure there are a lot of "Serious" individuals that may not have the $$ chops just yet. Personally, I am not sure how "Serious" someone could be if they are making 10k/month USD and they are on this(any) board. They know what they need to do more so then anyone else.

Someone such as myself, take this board as a wealth of information and is attempting to utilize most everything I come across. I am sure there are a lot of people like me here.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of bullshit here and abuse, or whatever you want to call it. While I think Eric has made it clear that he does not want to charge for this forum. That doesn't mean there can't be a VIP section? But the VIP section can be a combination of things. Cost, posts, time on site, reputable sites, real things to battle against bots, etc

Additionally, this gives the opportunity of someone like me to work for it also. I have learned quite a bit in my short time here and I would hate to lose it simply because I am new, don't have the website chops yet, etc.

In closing, whatever is to be done, needs to enhance growth too, not limit it.

mrR :pimp

(If this has been spoken on (IE VIP status, etc), I didn;t see it, couldnt find it, looked for it, etc)

A group of people getting together in a thread to see if there can be discussion to improve some things is whining right. Thats an excuse most people use because they cant win an argument baddog.

Why would i want to put a lit together? Its obvious from the replies people are thinking about this. You are amongst the naysayers, and if you remove your blinders for a minute you can see that the people against it are against it because its me saying it, OR because they are the obvious fakenicks.

And no, i NEVER attended a show. Just because of the same reason. Getting pissed drunk trying to be populair with some models never was my idea of doing biz, and im glad i could always schedule my meetings in private and not on a show with some dumbwit drunks.

Im not sure what you are trying to point out? Your replies are more like personal attacks then ontopic. But hey, its gfy right who fucking cares :winkwink:

Umm Baddog mainly stated the "pay" thing will never get approved...yet you continue to blabb about it..

Give this useless thread a rest now, your improvements will not be implented.

For someone that has been accused by quite a few people of having fake nicks you are putting too much thought into all of this.

GFY pays its bills from advertising. Truth is drama and troll threads get the most pageviews. It is not in their best interests to triple verify your haters so you don't get butt hurt, which is what this is really about.

I am going to have to presume that you have a comprehension issue.

the other business boards are fucking dead as shit now - it's only the trolling and fucking around that prevents this place from closing up shop.

trolls didn't slow this board down. adult internet is on life support unless you are manwin or banging the fuck out of the last few credit cards out there.

people have just moved on to other ways to put food on their table. if adult internet recovers somehow, this board will pick up.

I dont care how many of the same dipshits post about me having multiple fake nicks. I always posted under 1 and 1 name only. If i was worried about it, would i make a thread like this? Let me ask you something offtopic: What fake nicks do i have?

I dont need any. I dont give a shit how big or small someone is: I will post my honest opinion under my own name. Always did. If you want to believe a couple of fakenicks and anonymous trolls go ahead. Not that i care.

Well then explain it to me again. "Presuming someone has a comprehension issue" is like killing a discussion you cant win with valid arguements.

Let me ask you something baddog: What is AGAINST the idea?

complain, whine, complain, whine

do you fucking do anything else you little retarded gant???

50 things that will never happen.

You are absolutely correct. There is no way I can convince you with valid arguments, so there is no point in continuing it.

this thread sucks
