GFY really has very little overhead - it's a messageboard.
like tube sites themselves, this is all about greed and fucking over the hundreds and hundred of webmasters who've had their content stolen from them by this advertiser and the thousands of affiliates who have had their businesses reduced for some to next to nothing because of what this advertiser represents.

yeap... and i have always heard that playboy employees are not paid to moderate here, they are paid for other jobs they do with the company and help out here. Don't know if that changed or not. This site is almost 100% pure profit.
Greed will always get you in the end. How many paid banner spots up there? and on other parts of the site 30 - 40 ? average cost what $2,000 ? I paid more than that 4 years ago but I hear some people have sweet deals and pay a lot less. A couple skins a month, they have to be making 100K month with no overhead... a little bw? So try to push it and push it to make a little more, might just make the whole thing collapse.
I think the thing that is most frustraiting is that the big adult companies, merchant processors, messageboards like GFY, never took a hard stand, they don't want to pass up a buck. They could have lead the charge, set the tone and really rallyed people to make a difference. None of them wanted to, none of them cared, they were still making bank and honestly I think a lot of them look at all of us as just idiots.
