Fuck it guys. You don't want to talk real business in ONE section without trolls and fake nicks. Then just fuck it.
I would LIKE to be able to. But as always, just the mere suggestion of a true business area makes some of you come in here and start the very same stupid goddamn arguments that I am weary of.
NO, I don't want to kick anybody out. I want to have a discussion with people I do or may in the future do business with. And I'd like to do it without surfers and trolls and "witty" comments and name calling.
But if nobody else sees the need for it then I cede to you.
I retract my call for one forum of proven people. God knows it would just kill us to be able to actually do business with no bullshit in one section.
You guys win. I guess I'm going to reluctantly open an account at MP My fucking ICQ has been burning up all week with people wanting me to register there. But I really only have time for one forum and I wanted it to be the first one I took time for.
I remember Lensman asking Al and I to join GFY when they first opened the door. But I didn't have time for a message board so I didn't register until August of '02
And then I didn't post or even come here for years and years. Didn't start posting full force until I opened CM's site in 2007. I was shocked at the difference in quality of posters and how many surfers there seemed to be from when I had first joined.
But even so, I've made a few coins from people I met here on GFY. Kinda sucks that it's not the same tight knit group of webmasters that it was in the beginning. But that's what happens when something gets popular and you get a lot of surfers and/or folks who like to troll for fun.
Damn.

I can see the trolls, but how do you know who is a surfer and who isn't?
You guys need to stop assuming shit about users here before you should worry about forming a forum that is only exclusive to industry people.
Do you honestly think there are 100's if not 1000's of surfers here? What do they gain from being here? The 2 or 3 threads a week that Dean or Mutt posted about their latest shoots or new girls? Come on, GFY doesn't even show up in any of the results that normal surfers would look for...
Everyone at this board is part of the industry in one way or another, just because they didn't register in 01, or 02 like you guys, don't show their sites, or tell you every aspect of their business, does not mean they are surfers.
When you guys can act like true adults maybe, this industry will be able to form a forum that will brew up some good combat for the theft in the industry, but until that happens, good fucking luck.
