GFY 101 - Your guide to surviving this place
 

There is a simple code on GFY, and it is one that I figured out a long time ago. A code that many people criticized me for when I started here some 8 months ago, and one that eventually got me banned for 2 months. I called it "self marketing" at the time, you can call it what you want. No, im not gonna blow my own horn and say I invented it or anything like that, but I just wanna set some things straight for all you new comers. Call it GFY 101.

GFY is adifferent animal then any other board you ever been to, because its a double edge sword. Business gets done here, and dirty laundry gets aired out here. In most places, those two variables cannot exist in one place, yet GFY makes a perfect harmony of those two very different tunes.

People wanna get their name out there, and what is the easiest way to do that? well, you pick a fight with someone important, you talk some shit, if you can hold your own, people remmeber your name, and if you talk enough shit and pick enough fights, everyone will know you. That is what GFY is. It is the board to go to if you want some attention. Everyone here is guilty of this. 80% of these posts on GFY are useless to what we do. People post their cats, their cars, their weed, their shit...They do it for attention...and that is okay, because deep down inside, all the GFY veterans know what is up.

We all know the secret code, we all perform the means which will bring us the end, and when the day is over, we all pat each other on the back, say 'gg', and call it a night. By 'we', I mean the veterans. The newbies on the other hand get manipulated, tweaked, shaken and stirred. Some eventually figure out just what this place is and trade in their newbie hat for a veteran's, and the GFY world goes round and round. The cycle continues, the sooner you figure out how to make it turn, the better off you will be.

What did you get banned for?

ban me for being black

Until you stare at a banner too long -- go into an spasm... and die.

when am I eligible for one of those veteran hats????

for getting into the wrong piss match :)

I think the newbies are sleeping right now :sleep

heheh :winkwink:

Hey MetaformX

It's good to see that after 8 month and 1200+ posts you can call your selfe a veterane. well done. As you may see i'm registered to for some month now but only have a small number of posts so does this still mean that I'm a newbie ??

Metaform, your posts used to be so much more controversial...kinda like Labret, but since you were unbanned you don't post anything controversial anymore.

I want to see the old Metaform back.

it is time for sleep. 5:41 AM here in warren ohio. some day i will mesh myself within and i'll sit at dinner tables at webmaster parties/conventions and talk about adult veteran stories.... ahhhhh (shit im tired) cya

suck it easy :thumbsup

damnit!!!! i just had to refresh the damn browser.. i couldn't just go to sleep, i knew there'd be a smart comment to follow :)

eligibility is based on many factors, but there are many shortcuts available. I can go into further detail about what to do exactly, but then GFY may become a very unstable place

What I can say is that try and be original, and if you can, don't kiss too much ass. I personally hate ass kissers, and although ass kissing is a great way to move up the corporate ladder, it is not the preferred method in the case of GFY.

The only people kissing ass on GFY are USUALLY newbies or those who dont know any better. kissing big timers ass in the hopes that they may remmeber your name and say 'hi' to you on GFY, so you can feel special about yourself. Meanwhile, these bigtimers can see right through that, and will usually think you are a two faced little bitch who needs to be spanked. Whatever you do, do not kiss ass.

no. banned for being toooo black.

U know, ive thought about brining back the old Metaform, but I just don't know if it is possible now...Labret is a master at what he does, and the one thing he has going for him is he doesnt do any business on the boards, so he can afford to piss off many webmasters without it coming back to bite him in the ass later.

A good example of someone trying to do what Labret does and failing miserably is pimpdog. He is a joke. When he started, he had some potential, but he is too stupid for his own good. He is trying to self market himself, but his gears are stuck in step 1 of the 12 step self marketing program.

GFY wise, yes :)
you must ask yourself roger, if you were to die tomorow, how many people on GFY would remember you? Hell, if you didnt die tomorow, how many people on GFY would remember you?

So what is ass kissing then Metaform?

is it saying "hi meta can i suck your dick?" or do you mean just in general quoting a post in a thread as "LOL"


I am still new here I only got about 200 posts!!!!

Even if you have 20,000 posts if you get on the wrong side of the wrong person then your fucked anyway, don't matter how long you've been around!!!

there's more to GFY than just positng on the board I am sure a lot of webmasters from here communicate through icq or some other programme and become very good friends, I talk to you I talk to some other people on here as well....

But what your saying is correct in a way "be yourself"

Hell don't listen to me i am a "newbie!!"

He why would i give a shit if people would remember me because of posting here ?? I do care if people remember me because of what I do and how i treat them but not if i win pissmatches or if i'm a master in flaming and cock sucking. So GFY back.

"GFY is a different animal then any other board you ever been to, because its a double edge sword. "

Wrong! GFY is no different than other boards.
It is the same on every board out there and has been for a long time.

hey metaform.... you new button is kewl but i liked your previous buttons much better :thumbsup

why don't ya change back?:Graucho

And who the fuck are you? You are a sell out, a spineless coward that cant stand up for himself, and speak his own mind. You have 0 balls, and are a punk. I say what i want regardles if it rubs people the wrong way. I do what I want, when I want. I make up my own mind, and am not affraid to speak my mind on anything, any issue.

You are no better than trailer trash, crackhead. Fukin sell out, look whos talking idiot.

You are a pussy.

Rule #2

If you are creative you never need to bump a thread.

attention whoring is gay

I don't understand how people on the GFY board knowing your name is going to help sales.

where is richard simmons when you need him

I respect everything that is being said here but i just have to say
people look at the number of posts way too closely at times. I undersatand and have seen "newbies" come here just to spam but there are others like myself who have been around for a few yrs and choose not to be around the boards at all until recently to gain some new friends in the biz and some potential clientel. I like it here and there's a lot of info that i gain. Anyways that's my thoughts...Happy Posting !!!

gay

u talking about your sig banner?

your hillarious buddy

No matter where you go there's always one like you

Geez dude maybe you should become a priest.

I am a sellout??? a spineless coward??? I talk the talk and then backed it up when it came time, you on the other hand have talked the talk, but will be no where to be found when it comes to walking the walk. You hide behind your keyboard, are not welcomed on GFY since you get banned on a weekly basis, have absolutly no credibility with anyone here, and to top it all off, smell like a 5 day old sausage coocked at my local dennys.

Don't forgot kid, I invented the game your trying to play. This is a 48 minute game, your in minute 44 trying to run the same play over and over. It got old, just like your little antics. Thats why you get banned on a weekly basis. Here is a little tip for you, flip the page on your playbook and run something different...

You remind me of an old dog(pun intended) I had when I was a little kid. The poor dog had a nack for running unto the street after a basketball whenever the kids were outside playing. He made a weekly event of this. He was hit by a car 2 times within 1 month. That gave him a cripled leg. 3rd time was the charm for this dog though, god rest his soul.

we always thought this dog's problom was that he was obsessed with moving balls. When I think about it now, I think his problom was that he has a non functional brain, even a crippled leg couldnt save his ass. I couldnt save that dog, and I cant save this dog(you). Your crash will be good, your burn even better.

p.s.You better go make pimpdog543 so you can respond to this message. Or is Lensman thinking one step ahead of you and banning pimpdog1-1000000?

:glugglug

"Don't forgot kid, I invented the game your trying to play."

Huh?

just nod and smile. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter

"just nod and smile. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter"

Sure I'll play dumb if it helps but ya owe ne.

I just counted 7 hairs on the palm of labret in that first "finger" image

well, the whole point of 'playing dumb' is to act like your really not playing dumb, but now everyone knows it colin! but GFY is full of drunks, so maybe we can get this past them bro

"well, the whole point of 'playing dumb' is to act like your really not playing dumb, but now everyone knows it colin! but GFY is full of drunks, so maybe we can get this past them bro"

Shit, I've been busted and called on. I'm gonna have a drink.

Why do people with 1000+ posts think they are somebody? Thats the only thing that bothers me about this place. Other than that I love it ;)

you mean I am a nobody? This is the first i've heard of this. Could you provide further information please. This sounds like something I'de like to find out more about

I don't think I mentioned your name now I did I? I meant in general.. but if your so insecure I guess you can take it however you want it :)
