I have a suggestion to make GFY better in 2009. Offer a one-click option to block an entire thread from ever showing up on your browser. Kind of a blanket "block user" option but applied to an entire thread.
So, if you never ever open a contest thread, you can click the button and you'll never see it again. If you don't care about JonClark asking for money, one-click and gone. If you don't want to see everyone's New Year's resolutions, one click and you won't. Hate threads about suggestions on how to make GFY better in 2009? Bye bye suggestion thread.
Allowing this option allows the people who enjoy every thread to enjoy them and those that don't, to customize their GFY experience thus making them more likely to spend more time on GFY in specific areas that interest them thus increasing the power of the advertising presented to them.
Now, I can see where this would lead to a decrease in banner views. So, GFY could set it up where instead of seeing a thread, you see a banner in that spot instead. GFY would get the power of the banner view but you wouldn't have to view any thread you don't want to view.
There are numerous reasons why this idea has issues but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
On a sidenote, I need some new affiliates this year. Are you an average or better affiliate? My site (sig) match up to your traffic in some way? Give it some consideration.
Ahhh fuck it, even if you're a sucky-ass affiliate, give us a shot anyway. :-)
Happy New Years to all.
