Why is GFY successful?
 

What made GFY the top adult webmaster board?

What's the business model: how is it able to make money?

I'm thinking of starting a webmaster message board in an online business field that doesn't seem to have any yet.

ok :anon

it's full of pics, videos and other stuff like this... :upsidedow

I post here.

you get a blowjob from juicy at 10k posts

id like to have one of those tshirts someday!

because people post here about everything, some ppl have lots of fun here, others are frustrated losers who pretend to be someone else, there are lots of fake nicknames, many people sell their sigs etc

and at the same time the serious webmasters still post here

Habit and addiction

I sale generic adult webmaster board - random GFY noob

There are tons of adult message boards out there, only a few have decent information, very doubtful anyone will overthrow or offer anything remotely anything as informative and as networked as GFY etc.

cum is sticky

because its a place where sig whores can go instead of working at mcdies and pretened they are actually in the industry. i love this place. :1orglaugh :uhoh :thumbsup

people cum here to vent their frustration on why they cannot be like or live like Hugh Hefner or even Elmer Fudd......some are players....some wannabes....some are for real......and some ya really dont know.

It's the drama. get some people fighting and trolling and exposing cheaters on your board and it'll do great.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

It has a great type-in name and ti-yi-yi-yi-ime is on it's side :upsidedow
Yes it is

its an adult blog for many surfers who dont have the time to set one up for themselves. Unless you are prepared to allow a majority of non industry people onto the board - it wont be as powerful as gfy. Its the bridge between adult and surfers where they can talk

plus it has a cool handle

Read the book. The secrets are all there.

Thats because GFY allows anyone to speak their minds freely, promote their programs and makes anyone comfortable being here...unlike other boards...hope it keeps up !

one more for the count

:1orglaugh

im here.. LOL
makes huge $$ from adv.

because it isnt moderated heavily.

its a secret.

Couz I'm here :)

True, that's on the right track :upsidedow ..Also some come because they have nothing else in life to do. They make little to no money on the net, and don't have a mainstream job either, so they simply waste their life away here on the boards. :2 cents:

you, sir, are truly an idiot.

he keeps putting me off... wtf ... :mad:

I heard he does anal at 25k, is that true? :helpme

was early makes a big difference

Been around a long time, thats one of the reasons. Variety of the people that come on here is another reason, oh and the titties (which I cant help but think is funny coming from webmasters who look at tits all day long?).

I come for the free pron

You really had to be here back in 2001 when Lens started it, and know what the industry was like at that time and the years leading up to that time, to know why GFY is what it is and how it got that way.

Maybe one day somone who really knows (like Lens) will take a shot at telling the story. From my perspective it would be quite a lot of typing, there's no way I could answer your questions in a few short sentences with any completeness.

When I came to this board back in 2002 in was already big...
It's successful coz:
- it's not heavily moderated
- has a cool name
- it's backed by successful people

people are allowed to be idiots here...

if im not mistaking, gfy was one of the first..

1. one of the first
2. only one forum, no categoires
3. no moderation
4. sig selling
5. booming online venture

:1orglaugh

To those of you crediting the success to being one of the firsts... GFY wasn't one of the firsts. Many of the "firsts" aren't even around anymore.
