Look at other popular programs that have message boards -- when oxcash was hot -- the board was all full of people talking about their ratios... I don't know about everone -- but I think most of the original GFY people -- ie: the origins of the Boneprone Family -- came from people that pushed AP Clickpic -- we were making money -- ratios weren't really a concern becaues it was $.04 or $.06 -- either you were at 1:800 or you weren't... It was a no brainer -- you put up a clickpic banner -- follow the rules -- you watch the money come in. Lensman did all the thinking for us.

Also somehow GFY (maybe intentionally) at first maintained a (maybe) tactical distance from Amateur Pages -- it wasn't immediately clear to new GFY members that it was a site owned by ICS... GFY was its own entity... People came here to get closer to Lensman -- after all he was paying our salary... A little ass kissing was in order!

What do you think? I seem to think that the message board talk for a new program will always be about ratios unless another "carefree" program comes out that is fantastically popular... Anyhow I get invited to different webmaster boards all the time, but GFY feels like home... But home is where the cash is...
