Is GFY originally Canadian?
 

Well is it!? Did Eric start GFY? Lensman? Whats the history?

got a wiki?

You won't last much longer on GFY.

We built this site using ice, snow and something resembling snow... only yellow.
Hense the official colours.

Notice the spelling of 'colours'.

No it's not.
It's 100% Eastern European.

I've heard about that any more info?

What'd you say dumbass?

Why don't you just answer my stupid question instead of being a dumbass?

So you admit it was a stupid question? :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Of course it's stupid asking ANY question on here is stupid period.

Curiosity got the best of me. :)

You guys don't know how GFY started? Is it like taboo to talk about or what?

<--- I'm a newb remember..

I agree.

God I hate being a newb.

Yes, GFY is orginally Canadian.. (Toronto) & it was started by Lensman

GFY was started by Lensman, Wizzo was the first mod on here. I was one of the first member.

Back then Lens owned amateur pages, wich was the biggest PPC program. He used this board as support board for his program too.

What made GFY grow so fast was that they were giving shirts to everybody.

A couple years into it, Lens or Lars, I'm not too sure, had the idea to buy signatures and create a market on gfy, he was buying the sigs of the top dogs and spending thousands on posters to keep the board active. It created a huge market and a lot lot of webmasters were way more active. It eventually turned into a sig whore market and took quality of the board, but it's also a reason why this board became so busy.

It's been downhill since then thought.

Ahh ok that explains a bit..

Pretty much except for everything after the words - what made gfy grow.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:Oh crap

You should cut it off before those words though, because ending it like that would just be downright.

There was a LOT of people that came here asking for their shirts.

And the ammount of posts got significantly higher almost overnight after the sig market was created.

funny, i dont remember GFY ever having been serious, well okok maybe a tad bit more then now but not much....

Ohh i still have my good old originals LOL :pimp

You forgot to mention the secret GFY forum for the L33T crew...

perfectly said but you missed the boneprone role in the early days

I remember once Lensman closed a thread saying there's no reason to swear on GFY...

No it was not originally Canadian I am the oldest active account #2 account I believe. It was my job at the time to find all you fuckers and get you to sign up :)


Wizzo put the code on the server I believe and did the original install of VB


GFY was started in California.

You leave out free gadgets, longest threads, such contests as the millionth post and such.

Plus wasnt it some off program that really went crazy with buying almost everyones sigs?

ahh the millionth post That was huge!
