    This is a very simple issue.

    Assume there are 10,000 registered members of GFY, and 100 of them occassionally advertise.

    Set up the board so that only these 100 advertisers can post, and you don't have a fucking board anymore.

    Problem solved!

      This should have been a private discussion between the advertiser and the board.

      If the advertiser wants more for his money, the advertiser should tell the person he gives the money to.

      Posting it into the open forum like this is only going to generate bad PR for the poster. I have no idea of the actual numbers but there must be many thousands of non-advertisers for every advertiser here so it was hardly likely to gain overwhelming public support was it?

        I have already talked to many other advertisers and we are all in agreement. The ability to use a full size banner in our sigs is not enough of an incentive going into 2010.

        Gfy it is in your hands now.

        amen!!!!!

        Not saying small programs should NOT have the right to promote themselfs but Advertisers should have some sort of priority like a first class top 10 post on first page.

          If you don't think you're getting enough bang for your buck, then stop advertising.

              How many people here are now joining other boards, simply in anticipation of some dumbass posting change JUST POSSIBLY going down here in the near future?

              To publicly hint at changing the balance of this board in this way is almost as fucking stupid as selling ads to thieving tubes.

              I'm going to google "adult webmaster boards" right now, and register with as many as I can, just in case this board finally blows itself up.

              How much money in advertising will you get when the only participants are a few dozen advertisers, all advertising to themselves.

              Fucking stupid!

                we have a small ad package for each of our programs to make announcements and such. if for nothing else, i do it to support gfy and to help keep it all alive and healthy. different people find different value in different ad packages. my views about boards are not what they were in 2005 or even 2007, but i still find value in supporting the community with whatever i feel is justifiable for the return on investment. everything is changing, including views on advertising and roi on it. i know one thing, i never ever ever want to moderate a forum. ever. i'm sure that eric will come to something amicable for everyone, he always does. that's why he's the head zookeeper.

                  What is this FREE concept you are talking about... Do you honestly think without all the advertising revenue Playboy would of kept a board like GFY running on a Free model

                  Also craigslist have a paying model, you pay for your add and you get better placement... Basically what Dave is asking GFY.

                    Give the advertisers their own special little board on the forum where nothing but paid advertisers can post. See how much traffic that forum winds up getting

                        easily said, you work for someone that can pay big bucks. try running your own business, pay your own employees, rent, taxes, equipment etc.

                        and then decide whether you want to spend $3000 this month to pay a banner on GFY or pay your office rent and a broken flashlight.

                              "Free" as in as it stands at the moment , small programs can post their announcements on this main forum page .
                              I have posted my launch of a new site on this main page before .
                              This is "FREE" , programs can post their new promo tools This is "FREE" , programs
                              post their special payout promo days This is "FREE" . LOL , you do know this forum is "Free" right ?

                              On a side note , about Craigslist, are you sure about paid top listings ? If so , show me the proof and how abouts i go doing this .
                              I don't think what you are saying exist. If they have this option , I would be much interested in using this feature for my mainstream bizz .

                                webgurl consider this..
                                Lets say you have banners blocked. You have avatars and sigs off.

                                If the board is unskinned, then you've got paying advertisers with stickies seperating them from non advertisers who could have 3 threads right below the sticky. If they are allowed a full url in the thread title, they'd be getting more eyes than the paying advertiser.

                                I'm trying to exercise that devils advocate voice here ya know? Seeing all sides and all that jazz?

As far as what was proposed by the OP is concerned and his characterization of other programs as "dead weight"... some of those "dead weight" programs have used logic and experience to determine that spending $3000/month for a banner spot that rotates and is displayed only one every x amount of page views is a bad investment for them. I agree that non-advertisers shouldn't be able to have sticky's or contest threads... but a great number of us read gfy to find out about new programs/sites. There is alot to be said for promoting fresh stuff and not the same old stale shit that most big programs produce.
                                  No you are assuming I missed his point and your assumption is wrong. I was commenting on his example of newspapers and assimilating it with this current issue. What i said was correct also, free ads in a newspaper and in magazines are at the back, not side by side with the high paid spots...



                                  Why does everyone keep bringing up this $3000/month up anyway? I thought we are all caught up on the fact that there are cheaper advertising methods available here?

                                  We all on the same page that nobody is suggesting that we make this an advertiser only forum at least?

                                    because while the profitability of the top banner or under the quick reply box might be already questionable, i think that a 120x60 at the bottom is totally pointless. i even had to look if they are still there before i posted this

                                    if i would consider being a sponsor it would be a top banner or nothing. and i can't afford a top banner

                                        Well you do, if you are a paying advertiser you can get stickys at the top. I might be wrong but I believe you need to be a buyer to get that.

                                            A list of top advertisers would be nice to see on a separate page for reference , hard to keep track

                                                I think they should put a HD Webcam under erics desk also so we can see his dingaling on demand , especially when he wears shorts and goes commando

                                                  if i would consider being a sponsor it would be a top banner or nothing. and i can't afford a top banner
                                                  but even if you didn't think that banner spot at the bottom would be all that helpful what Dave is suggesting would still allow you to have advertising threads and have your promos stickied the same if not close to it would it not? Doesn't have to be so black and white if you are just getting started.

                                                    Why the hell are you guys blowing this out of proportion? The advertisers simply need more value to stay. Of all the users posting today, less than 10% add any real value.

                                                    Try going to any of the big mainstream forums and you will see they are moderated to a T. They move posts from incorrect forum to the appropriate forum all the time.

                                                    There is nothing wrong with trying to clean up GFY of all the spam and add more value. The value in advertising on forums has dropped a lot over the last few years.. It's not going to get better unless something is done about it.

                                                        If you let the advertisers decide where to put their ads where would they be? How much integrity would that paper hold if the front page was plastered with only paid ads.

                                                        Currently on GFY, we allow the community to decide the relevance of announcements. If an announcement has value to the community, it WILL be bumped. If the message is bullshit, the thread will drop.

                                                            OK i dident read the last page here, a bit too busy at the moment.
                                                            However it seems to me that the entire post have been twisted a tad here....i dont think Dave cares about the small stuff posted here once in a while, i know i dont and doubt that was the intent of this post.

                                                            However there are some fairly good size programs and few bigger ones that constantly have stuff going on and posting their weekly updates.
                                                            There are also some members with small businesses that post news and updates almost daily......THAT is a kick in the nuts to ANY paying advertiser.

                                                            All i have heard in here is how boring this place would be if the FREE add madness stopped.
                                                            Well how do you think it would go if the advertisers stopped?
                                                            Moving into 2010 GFY can go 2 different routes.

                                                            1. Cut add prices in almost half
                                                            2. clean this place up a bit

                                                            Why?
                                                            If you think this resession cripples the webmaster making 2k pr month try to imagine what companies like PR is loosing right now....
                                                            If you cant optimize adds you have to cut them

                                                            We are taking our adds out from 2-3 places In December as they are just not performing (Eric relax not from here lol)

Everyone does this. Advertisers as well as non-advertisers do. Advertisers have the benefit of a sticky thread, but the value of that sticky thread diminishes when one could have their friends bump the thread to the top of the forum for days on end.

                                                                            Announcements on this board are content. If a shitty sponsor has a crappy or un-insightful announcement it will drop.

                                                                            If a sponsor has an outright terrible idea, dave is limiting our ability to criticize and make fun of him. Where would this board be without some of the massive 20 pg failures of some small programs.

Your trying to hurt the very same people that make your program so successful. Dude just give it up, you're in the wrong, this a battle you already lost. Stop digging yourself in a deeper hole.

                                                                                    GFY should consider offering added value PR.

Paid advertising is what keeps GFY going, no doubt. I think it's fair that paid advertisers should have priority over non-paid announcements. I don't think you mentioned anything about posts/threads so I don't know why anyone would lump that in there (then again, I didn't read all of the posts, "too long, did not read "). I think it pissed people off when you called non-paid "SPAM". Just my

                                                                                            If they don't advertiser here their threads should be 100% bounced to an opportunities / spam forum.

                                                                                            I have already talked to many other advertisers and we are all in agreement. The ability to use a full size banner in our sigs is not enough of an incentive going into 2010.

                                                                                            GFY it is in your hands now.

Sticky's do not guarantee page views - we've scene that many times. but if that makes an idiot like you happy - do it.

The people who are pissed of are those who have nothing interesting to get people's attention now and their only option is to threaten with money.

                                                                                                banning or restricting people from talking about their websites will crush this place, It's what everyone here (cept for you MR 'I hate adult' tattoo man) came here for. We all want to talk about things related to our lives which and the largest part of out lives is our work.


                                                                                                What's responsible for the huge decline in inkednation's traffic? Thinking like this?

                                                                                                  Announcements on this board are content. If a shitty sponsor has a crappy or un-insightful announcement it will drop.

                                                                                                  If a sponsor has an outright terrible idea, dave is limiting our ability to criticize and make fun of him. Where would this board be without some of the massive 20 pg failures of some small programs.
