Every once in a while, we at GFY are faced with the realization that bullshit just does not fly here. Lately, though there's been a lot, and I mean a LOT of bullshit that I've personally never seen go unchallenged until lately.
Now, it's worth noting that I haven't been around for several months, and have just recently been reading and posting more recently - so maybe I missed something. In any case, this is my PSA for GFY'ers based on what I remember:
- This is NOT a surfer forum. A classic "Would you hit it" thread is good for the soul - everyone LOVES to look at pretty pics - but come on now - do we really need series after series of photosets like this is a surfer forum?
- People do notice a lot more than you think. If you're under the impression it's OK to act like a total douche in one thread, and then contradict your position or switch it up at a later date - just know that because you haven't been called out (like in the past) it doesn't mean you got away with it.
- Fansigns are fun, plain and simple - but please remember that they are NOT for the sole purpose of showing your buddies you're a wannabe porn webmaster. If you request a fansign, it's good form to put it on your sites and linking to the gal who made it. It's a lot of work to make those damn things and the least you can do is send some traffic.
- Contests are important, and great ways for sponsors to reward affiliates - but if you're not an adult webmaster then you need to GTFO - plain and simple. If you're a sponsor and you're rewarding affiliates who have zero adult associations - it might be worth looking like an asshole to refuse to reward non-industry people.
I have a few more in mind, but this is what's coming to me now. I'll post them as I remember them but please, feel free to post yours as well.
