Best GFY drama of 2009?
 

With all focus on the turbo / kman drama right now I thought we could be a little nostalgic and remember the drama of 2009. Post what you think was the most entertaining gfy drama of the past year. I cannot recall a single one right now though.

I remember there was this thing with stickyfingers, it was pretty good.

tube skin shit maybe :2 cents:

Oh fuck. How could I forget? That was huge.

dirty d thread.. over 45 pages!

45 wow... That is a lot...

wasn't around for the tube drama, the shoe/dirty d was huge though

I think , that one takes the cake:thumbsup

iBill, Dirty D, Curious Cash

Dirty D and tube skin I think are a close first and second.

What was the dirty D drama about?

Tube skin...hands down.

The Dirty D thread was about buying SE keywords that match a programs site names exactly and sponsors who don't have a complete TOS. They got it worked out and one can only hope D updated his TOS. Minor drama imo.

Now the tube skin. That was...well...the straw that almost broke GFY's back. It had to be one of the most boneheaded moves I've witnessed in a decade. With all of the bad blood and negative feelings towards the tubes GFY decided money was more important than loyalty. Not a huge shock in this business but still not smart.

reading all...and agreed with all too

I love the smell of porn drama in the morning... :winkwink:

That Stinky drama thread was pwetty cwazy (and he has had some doozies over the years)...26 pages, 1,280 posts, and nearly 24,000 views. :helpme

It started out as a sleeper business dispute, and quickly disintegrated by page 3 into a knock-down drag-out, brutal brawl between Stinky and his Ex-GF (among others):

The Epic 2009 Stinkyfingerz Drama Thread

There were a couple of memorable Donkey Long meltdown threads which were pretty entertaining too, and who can forget the GFY mass exodus thread over a skin from a company selling ad spots on illegal Tube sites?

I'm pretty sure that thread led to more bannings than any other thread ever has... :helpme

In the end though, I still have to go with the Dirty D debacle FTW... :thumbsup :thumbsup

ADG

Im everywhere... except for Vegas next week. Missed that show and Miami for the first time since the inception of both. Plan to get my Vegas fix as a tourist this time in a month or so.

Its tradition to have a Delmonicos meal at the first of the year.
If your going sorry Ill miss meeting you but tell Emril we are coming!

If so, maybe he could merge his two nicks into something like con-duck... :upsidedow

ADG

definitely the tube drama

No one nominated PeteKT yet...I figured he was at least good for a (dis)honorable mention. :upsidedow

When a bro is exposed as a poser, I'm going with the PeteKT stuff as well.

The CuriousCash and dirty d threads were justified, but also fueled by a lynch mob seeing how many times the threads could be bumped.

If you were a SatanCash / PeteKT affiliate, I feel for you...

What a shitty way to treat people that supported his program! :disgust

Tubeskin

ADG, I think you need to do a pictorial post summarizing the top ten drama threads of 09.

Lazycash, you misunderestimate my laziness...

I gotta say The Tube Skin.. Drama so big it spawned its own forum here.

the best drama is yet to comes.. as soon as my 1024 processor quad core blade server with 1000 petabytes of RAM has compiled the best candidate for a thrashing...

GAME ON.....

Traffic junkies and Pornhub must be the best one....man emotions ran amok in that one.

It was a crazy period.

A lot of people left GFY over that and many still havent been back.

AMP is back after being permanently banned - that makes him almost Christ-like, and means there is salvation for all of the other lost souls... :winkwink:

ADG

Yeah nice nice, good thinking

Post liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinks plz!

Tube Skin and the Dirty D thread that is still going strong

Okay drama, tubeskin I guess.

I think the 33 million stolen by IBILL ranks high on the list. Since they opened up for business again !!!! :321GFY:321GFY

Not sure if that really qualifies as drama though. I mean everybody here, except maybe for a few short bus passengers, knows what IBILL is all about.

You are doing a good job of warning the newbies about those thieves however :thumbsup

Keep up the good work!

define "BEST"

Congrats to the winners...

Tubeskin definitely gets the best drama thread in my opinion. but then again i was kind of absent from these parts during the whole pete-kt thing, and all I really know is what happened, missed the entire drama surrounding it.

I was actually browsing GFY when i jumped pages and suddenly things refreshed to the beautiful proudly displayed gfy tube skin. People started piping up within moments, by the time I returned the next day, it became a fucking firestorm.

I give the tube thread the win over DirtyD/Shoehorn, based ont he people who got the most shook up. The tubeskin drama got, you know, actual industry people with some respect in an uproar. People left the forum, boycotted gfy, an entire subforum was spawned. It changed the forum. GFY got paid, and probably never even realized there was any dispute over it in the first place, because nobody there gives a shit what any of us think. TrafficJunky probably did incredibly well with the drama of the week putting all eyes on them. I know of one guy, not naming names, that paid a solid 20% of the pricetag for their skin off testing their traffic. One guy. How many others did the same? I bet they made their money back just fine.

The DirtyD/Shoehorn thread was massive, because as someone said already, it became a lynch mob. It was a minor thing, people have been screwed for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than the $350 that spawned a 45 pages of rage, but it was a thing that just about everyone can jump in on. The majority of the people here are affiliates, not program owners or content producers. And regardless of how much they make, there's nothing worse than putting effort into promoting a program, then having them pull a paycheck on you over some bullshit.

That was some bullshit, and the attitude DirtyD came in with flapping off was enough to set any affiliate in witch burner mode. It was fun because everyone wanted to see D burnt at the stake. Then Shoehorn was quietly paid off and 2 days later no one really remembers what it was all about anyways. The ToS probably hasn't even been updated.

I found the thread and it's outcome interesting because during it's run I honestly believed that whatever the outcome, it would set a precedent as far the the "affiliate calling out a program on the forum" disputes are concerned. I don't know if it has or will, but I think there's a good chance going into 2010 there's going to be nothing but more and more drama. Seems as though the drama comes faster than you can keep up with it all. Shit's faster than a soap opera. I guess we'll see yet...

Edit: 2010, DOOM DOOM DOOM!

Yep its still high up there Tubeskin and DD
Got to agree

I agree with you!

Pete KT scammer and Dirty D both take the cake imho..:2 cents:

tube skin 100%
