Fuck... I can't take it anymore! The contests need to GO!
 

They are ANNOYING! Either put them in a different forum, or ban them. They fill up half the main page with a bunch of garbage contests with equally garbage posts in them.

Jesus Christ.

/Rant

I second that :thumbsup

A contest forum wouldn't be bad but that would almost defeat the sponsors purpose.

Amen I Second This!

i like them :2 cents:

I third it, make a contest forum

You're a surfer. Your opinion doesn't count.

exactly lol

fucking hate these fucking things...

They make to much money.. go somewhere else surfers, this place is for webmasters.

They're annoying as hell.
Always the same people trying to win them too from what I've seen.

I can't complain. I've one a couple that have made me a few extra zero's this year. Thanks Naughty Allie and Jake!

I try to find something interesting to read, and have to scroll through a bunch of contests that have nothing to do with the industry to even find a "Would you Hit It?(pic)" thread. GRRRRRRRR!

Ive done business in some of those contest threads. I just ignore the ones I am not participating in.

who cares..it is either contest run by reputable adult businesses or thread about people taking a shit...or an update about what juicy is doing this very minute....regardless, there is always too much crap in here, contests just add to it, but they are FAR from the only shit posted on GFY

without contests, "would you hit it" posts and all the other random bullshit that goes on in here this forum wouldn't move anywhere near as fast as it does...

i dont like most of it either but the activity keeps you all coming back.

so i guess you could either like it or fuck off?

yeah, i have NEVER had a hard time ignoring the contest threads...i never participated in them until that digibucks one...and that is just cause I am bored

Good idea - make contest forum. This is a Fucking Around & Program Discussion forum...

Contest forum won't get as many views = Not good for program owners = Less and less contests = dead forum

and a contest is pretty mushc fucking around

want business? go to the webmaster q and a forum...all business there

I've never won anything in this contests, but I'm trying on a couple right now...

post whore contests should be banned, buy a pinned spot.

The 10,000 reply to this thread wins 50 bucks.

or maybe ban all the contests that are based on a post count

If you dont like them dont click on them.......... Its pretty simple

They normally have a pretty obvious thread title and are ez to avoid.

I HATE the ones that pay $X for 1 million posts etc., so I know not to click on them.

I check about 3% of threads on the board...

I ignore others for various reasons, but I wouldnt ask for the other 97% to be banned...

contests are good but a seperate forum might not be a bad idea

I don't necessarily like them either. It defeats their purpose for running them if they had their own area to post. The whole point is to attract people to send traffic there.

ya smut everyone who looks the contests are surfers
you aren't a fuckin moron at all

Shut up son.

MAKING new forums is not the way to go.

GFY didnt get where it is now making a forum for every fucking catgeory and having mods move the incorrect threads to the correct forums

what do i get if i snag the 50th post in this thread? lol

And you are whom, again?

Prove that you're not a surfer or get out of this thread. Go back to your contest whoring.

Just cause your reg date at GFY is earlier than mine doesnt make me a surfer.

i have nothing to prove to you, who the fuck are you? go get a bigger ego

Who called you a surfer? Do you have some sort of a complex or something? Feeling a bit new because of your start date? I don't give a shit. Clearly you are a webmaster, you just don't know what you are talking about. In 2001 - 2002, GFY Contests didn't exist to the magnitude that they do now. I counted nearly 15 on the first page. That's just simply rediciulous.

If you have nothing to prove, you won't mind FUCKING OFF and not returning to MY THREAD. Stop replying to me and eat a newbie cock... Surfer.

You have been here 3 years and dont know that each posters name is next to the post?

Its just there, on the left..... It was Alex BTW

Just to make sure you understand, my name is?

a: Fred
B: Damian
c: Paul

If you answered B you are correct, congratulations :thumbsup

So why ask who i am?

GFY is the largest busienss related forum on the web if im not mistaking.

How did it get there?
Well i can tell you this.

It didnt get so big by creating a hundred different categories and having mods move threads to the correct category. And ban people/ contests because the other gfy members were upset.
