Why delete/close all the threads?
 
No one is going to forget anyway. :)

GrouchyAdmin 06-18-2008 01:41 PM

...at least 50% probably forget the instant it's no longer below a sticky.

jscott 06-18-2008 01:42 PM

I wont forget, and anytime I hear of VS I'll mention the fact that they ripped off an affiliate :)

tranza 06-18-2008 01:44 PM

What did I miss???

pornguy 06-18-2008 01:48 PM

This could get nasty again.

spacedog 06-18-2008 01:49 PM

That single action alone says alot.

payd2purv 06-18-2008 01:50 PM

I bet all of 30 people even kno it happened hahaha...

On my forums if you bring up a locked topic you get the banstick also. ;)

*cough*Brad*cough*

It is kind of sad about GFY though..

I remember when they didn't censor threads like that.

You make me laugh. Canadians are silly.

Violetta 06-18-2008 02:02 PM

woot woot... what now?

spacedog 06-18-2008 02:06 PM

can't wait to see the pics of whoever from GFY/ICS and Brad E drinking together in Amsterdam

From my experience as a mod on another popular forum (non adult related) censoring people to protect advertisers actually hurts the advertiser even more.

Now people dont only hate them for what initially caused the drama - they now also feel that theyve been censored by them, building even more resentment.

I hope not. I mean it's what, a $2500 banner ad? If Playboy is desperate to keep that, I'd imagine this industry is hurting much more than people lead on. I would imagine it's more about friends helping out their friends than the money.

That's actually why I pulled my links. To try and erase what you did is worse than just having a negative thread out there. If they stood by their decision, they'd have not had the thread removed. I consider having it removed an admission of guilt.

Big John 06-18-2008 04:33 PM

The thread deletion reminds me why I rarely bother with GFY anymore. It really isn't a board for 'business' these days and sadly hasn't been for some time. I hope they enjoy al the surfer traffic :/

nico-t 06-18-2008 05:05 PM

the mods on here are becoming more and more pathetic as time goes by

<-- saddened by the state of affairs.

jakethedog 06-18-2008 05:28 PM

it is getting a bit weird .. hrmm .. was this some strange movie magic created by M. Night Shyamalan ... things just seem to be disappearing around here a lot lately

dropped9 06-18-2008 05:36 PM

whatcha talkin bout willis?

fris 06-18-2008 05:37 PM

this is really stupid, so VS stops paying an affil that made them over $102,000, and the thread gets removed cause of bad press? talk about a cover up

ladida 06-18-2008 05:39 PM

Lol, i was looking for the thread, and see it got erased. 20 pages, all gone. Well, at least you can see VS does care. They most likelly thought it would stop at page 5, then page 10, when it past page 15, they started to think of damage control, and finally dished out for the thread deletion.

IllTestYourGirls 06-18-2008 06:19 PM

thanks that go bump in the night. I am glad I dont miss all the drama woot!

18teens 06-18-2008 06:21 PM

I for one will never forget this bullshit. Deleting the thread just made their rep even worse in my book.

st0ned 06-18-2008 06:22 PM

Censorship is for pussies.

StuartD 06-18-2008 06:30 PM

I could understand closing it, it's old news now. But it shouldn't have been removed.
That thread should be there for any affiliate in the future who comes to GFY searching for background info on them.

That was the point... Remove all traces. So next time, you will even be liable for banishement if you mention it, as, they will say "show proof we did that" lol :)

Sad.... :) but money talks.

LeRoy 06-18-2008 06:59 PM

ouch :( I have nothing more to say

Iron Fist 06-18-2008 07:00 PM

I have a long memory and a short tolerance for shenanigans... VS will always remain in my blacklists. Money doesn't buy silence - I think a lot of people throughout history have learned this lesson the hard and expensive way.
