    GFY Dying Slowly - Proof Inside!

    I know some of you will say alexa is shit, but still..

    Guess how many new webmasters came to this board in last 8 months? Should traffic rise or fall like hell?





    Most interesting part is that, number of pageviews per visitor is falling as well.





    See?

    Also, 3 months alexa avg. was 1,903

    And I week alexa avg. is 2737

    And yesterday's rank is 2949


    Alexa GFY.com
    Alexa GoFuckYourself.Com

    Guess what? Something wrong is going on .. Is it load speed or increasing number of trolls, fake nicks and shit?

    ps. don't tell me porn industry is overall dying or its summer slow down. Summer is not whole fucking 8 months long.

      IMO the primary reason for the decline was because of a certain member who joined in august last year

          i noticed it as well and even posted about it like 2 weeks ago

          overall GFY feels a little slower as well, but it's not that easy to spot unless you spend a lot of time here... and even then it may be just a subjective feeling

          i guess only the mods know the exact number of daily visits and new threads started daily but obviously they wont disclose it
          I don't use ICQ anymore.

              Downward trend may also be related to firewalling off plug-ins that capture this data as more people adopt Vista.

                      Just a guess, but it might have to do with global warming...

                              There is still no substitute.

                                                      People have been reporting the "decline" of GFY for about 6 years now, right after we blew up into the #1 board spot...


                                                      Also, I think Vista has more effect on Alexa than most realize...

                                                                                  That's a good way of measuring surfers to a website...but not webmasters.
                                                                                  Yes, Alexa is not that accurate but its also not that inaccurate. We can still rely on it to some extent as it represents a sample of our visitors.

                                                                                  And by the way, Alexa toolbar is more common in webmaster than in surfers. So, its better way to gauge webmaster traffic than that of surfers'.

                                                                                                              Timeouts, pages that take over a minute to load, white screens of death, all very common occurrences anymore that make surfing this site an absolutely miserable experience much of the time.
                                                                                                              Seems true to me. Number of pageviews per visitor seems to be falling as well, it shows everyone of us browse less pages now?

GFY's always had more than its fair share bullshit, but it is getting worse. And the amount of times I've arrived on GFY only to see contest thread after contest thread. Quite often I'll just give up.

                                                                                                                                                  The reason I don't bother looking here is the amount of surfers, newbies, and sig whores. Its been a LONG time since ive learned anything of value from this board, not because it isnt here, but because its burried umong tons of bullshit.

                                                                                                                                                  I think GFY needs an approval process. Webmasters should have to show their URL, and apply from an emailaddress@<businessdomain>.com and mods approve them.

And that's been at around 5 pages for a long time.. weekends it will drop to 4.. sometimes it will hit 6. Basically it keeps it to only the posts that have been active in the last 24 hours or so.

Threads like "i farted today" are usless and people post there so they can gather posts.I think gfy needs to improve their servers a little.

                                                                                                                                                                  The reason I don't bother looking here is the amount of surfers, newbies, and sig whores. Its been a LONG time since ive learned anything of value from this board, not because it isnt here, but because its burried umong tons of bullshit.

                                                                                                                                                                  I think GFY needs an approval process. Webmasters should have to show their URL, and apply from an emailaddress@<businessdomain>.com and mods approve them.

It's the content. GFY's always had more than its fair share bullshit, but it is getting worse. And the amount of times I've arrived on GFY only to see contest thread after contest thread. Quite often I'll just give up.

                                                                                                                                                                  Also the figures are useless unless you compare them with other boards. I suspect all boards are suffering. So can you compare the same periods on Netpond, JBM, Greenguy and Medium Pimping.

                                                                                                                                                                          Timeouts, pages that take over a minute to load, white screens of death, all very common occurrences anymore that make surfing this site an absolutely miserable experience much of the time.

                                                                                                                                                                          Although it's been brought up hundreds (thousands?) of times, it's obvious nothing's going to be done about it until/unless ad revenue for the site declines significantly. Assuming that is they manage to attribute that to the very poor site performance.

All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?

It's the content. GFY's always had more than its fair share bullshit, but it is getting worse. And the amount of times I've arrived on GFY only to see contest thread after contest thread. Quite often I'll just give up.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Timeouts, pages that take over a minute to load, white screens of death, all very common occurrences anymore that make surfing this site an absolutely miserable experience much of the time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Although it's been brought up hundreds (thousands?) of times, it's obvious nothing's going to be done about it until/unless ad revenue for the site declines significantly. Assuming that is they manage to attribute that to the very poor site performance.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  you should be careful what you say about this board - something could happen to your account

If you want to get the days news, celeb gossip and is she hot posts then GFY is it. saves time I suppose coming to one site rather than checking out cnn and tmz to get the same info
