GFY oldies gone missing?
 

I was cleaning my ICQ list and a few familiar names popped to my face and I started wondering what happened to:

Grim shawn (other than screw wiredguy)
dawgy
TheFly
=^..^= (or something along those lines, kitty I think)

others I'm sure.
Funny how a few sort of people fade away and few just vanish instantly. :)

I haven't seen TheFly (Pete) or Shawn in a long time!

yes kitty

TheFly got banned :(

A lot of people disappeared. Today is a complete new generation of GFYers. Thousands of useless sig-dropping leeches.

I miss all the intelligent conversations and old school fun. GFY is not a webmaster board anymore. It's more like a banner machine for generating revenue.

Kitty's still here. Just under a differing nick.

How about Gary? Wasn't he Amp's partner at some point?

what he said
:thumbsup

Gary fucked some people over and disappeared.

Kitty's original nick got banned too i think =^..^=

The Fly didn't get banned by the way

stocktrader23
funkmaster (:))

Yes he did.

And not much revenue at that either. The good old days are gone and there are just too many brain dead sig whore comments here now. Anyone already making money just moved on.

Yeah, 95% of GFY threads look like this:

Someone spams their stuff - new program, new hosted galleries, contests - and hundreds of sigwhores drop in posting 2-word replies: Stand up!!!/Top Notch!!!. They don't even have the slightest idea about the program or nature of the spam, but they leave their 2 cents anyway, cause it's a free +1 to their postcount.

Someone said that GFY peaked when Labret was banned and sig posting was introduced. I agree with it.

do you remember the History of the adult Thread?

what a thread that was, a lot of the contributors are gone now

My original nick from 2002 got banned when Labret was and I posted my thoughts on it. I miss the old days too. Not quite so fucking sigtastic.

It peaked as a interesting place to be at that time I agree. Actually I miss seeing those guys around. I would enjoy seeing Labret take aim at most of these folks. He has to be around somewhere. He pops up every now and again at JBM.

He posts on another board which I won't mention.

shhhhhh.. He is hiding in my cleavage waiting for the right moment to break out and cause carnage :1orglaugh

I'll never tell.

kitty is banned?

oh cry me a fucking river, and no I'm not addressing TGF, but all the guys that say that GFY is not what it used to be etc

there's still shitload of uselful info you can find on this board almost daily

I'm not making millions but I clear a few ks a month and at least 90% of what I do to make these money I learned here

you all sound like a bunch of 90 year old whiners bitching about the good old days, shit the world is not what it used to be, I think I'm going to sell my car and buy me a horse

Stocktrader23 is still here. Posts everyday for the most part.

You just don't know his new name :winkwink:

Kitty was posting just a couple months ago...

TheFly got banned, unbanned... left...

GrimShawn disappeared with good reason.

dawgy, don't know.

And yeah, Labret still posts on another board, drinking and posting more.

Hey TGF...if you read this thread again, you might be interested in this link.

Is it still useful? No doubt about that. Is the information as easily accessible as it used to be? Hell no! I don't know about you, but wading through 36 posts of "see sig", "sig spot", "o'rly" and other shit, just to read one good reply in a thread is definitely not my idea of useful.

what is the TheFly doing today? whatever happen to him?

didn't he retire?

he's probably around but just doesn't post - just staying updated

Still a few old timers around and have to agree GFY still has alot of valuble nuggets, just have alot more posts to sort thru to find them...:pimp

juicy doesnt post at all















:1orglaugh

So true, I remember when I started reading GFY in 2001 - any info I needed, all I had to do was a search and the answer was there. If I had a question, one thread or post in another thread and instantaneously, the answer was there. Made things much easier. Nowadays, you have to sift through alot of irrelevant threads and posts to get an answer. Even searches don't yield the answer fast enough with so many posts/threads that may have the keyword but be totally irrelevant. There's still alot of info, it's just not as easy to get the correct answer.

1) Pretty much disappeared after the WG situation
2) Can't remember what happened to him
3) Last thread/post I saw from him, he was leaving the business if I'm not mistaken - retiring
4) She had moved back to Toronto last year if I remember correctly - and I believe baddog would know better since I think she visited him prior to coming to Canada.

i know what happened to Dawgy...but i dont think it is fair to say here...as i only heard through rumour

yeah he pretty much fucked me, amp and Va2k over...

You'd laugh your ass off if you knew what name he came back and posted under. :1orglaugh

actually Im more like one of those who wouldnt be laughing...

me, him and amp had a deal...Gary just dissapeared...

he also got my ebay account closed for fraud...with a nice little fine...shame on me for trusting him I guess!...

same thing happened to Va2k...but he got a much bigger fine...

I heard that.. and when I saw her posting, I had a very strong desire to ask what happened with Firehorse... but of course.... I didn't.

What I don't understand about some posts in here is why it's necessary to *not* post what nicks ppl are using now... ?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Priceless.

tell us!!!

Kitty is still around, she just doesn't post like she used to.

Spill it!!!

:glugglug

i wouldnt blame the sigwhores for todays GFY, its the few vets that do nothing but constantly talk about complete bullshit in order to spam products for other companies.

its the followers on GFY that make it the worst, there is a few group of people who just icq eachother saying "respond to my thread" and that is what ruined it.

i post less and less because i see the same annoying idiots spouting off just to get referal links.

indeed..

Kittty can be my friend if she wants!

stop crying

Serious post...

Dawgy was busted in Canada for hooking up with a minor to have sex with...someone he had been chatting with for some time.

I was in the middle of doing some business with him when he disappeared. A former employer shot me the links to the news reports...if I recall it was even posted here.

:stop :waaaaahh :warning

also the old version of "post whores" werent as bad, they actually had at least some personality to them.

the new gen of post whores just have baseless obvious replies.

Holy shit, that was unexpected. But for some reason, I am not surprised.

News links?
