To Everyone Wanting a separate politics forum...

[CurrentlySober]

You already have one! This already IS the politics section ! You are already in this section of GFY. "BUT !!! It's not about webmastering' I hear you cry... So it set me thinking...

Well, here's the thing... You see, If you want to talk about Mainstream Business, then knock yourself out... Likewise do you wanna announce something webmaster related? There yah go Perhaps you wanna ask some webmaster related questions or get answers? Enjoy! Need educating? There you go...

Likewise, if you are looking to buy or sell some content, or maybe bid on or auction a domain name or perhaps you just wanna sell or buy something, then you are taken care of too

Likewise should you want to offer your business services, or hire someone to work for you, or get a job yourself, once again, you are covered. You can even discuss the thieving little shits who are stealing your content, or get together with others and trade a bit of traffic amongst yourselves?

So thats 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11... Eleven Different Sections where you can do all the webmastry things that you want to do... But no one does do they? Why? Because those sections are not 'busy' enough...

QED - If those 11 sections are not busy enough for you, then perhaps its not GFY that needs to change... Its you?

THIS POST IS JUST ME THINKING OUT LOUD. I AM NOT A POLITICAL PERSON AT ALL. YOU NEVER FIND ME IN ANY POLITICAL THREADS. I JUST READ A LOT OF POSTS COMPLAINING THAT POLITICS IS NOT WEBMASTER STUFF. SO I MADE THIS POOST...

they want to read about porn but do not post about porn....I say introduce a new rule...if you did not post about porn in the last 6 months but you start a thread like "I want to read about porn but I do not post about porn" then you should get banned

[crockett]

Yes even though I post a lot of political shit, I'd love to also see business shit but the facts are all the people who complain barely post anything.

I mean hell if everyone who complained about no business topics posted 1 business topic a week there would be a lot of business topics.. but they dont..

There are already 14 separate GFY forum and hardly anyone posts in them, so why add more. If people don't like Chump threads then ignore them, it's easy to do. Start you own porn threads and see how many posts you get and i mean real porn posts not shit like what did you watch on TV last night or will this asteroid hit earth in our life time, like politics it's equally not porn related

This has been said so many times here but I think the way you put it in this post was really well done

[CurrentlySober]

Heres a suggestion to appease both sides...

How about whenever a post is made in another section, a 'link' to it appears in the main forum? What I mean by a link, is when someone creates a thread in say 'Q & A' that asks 'Where can I get such and such plugin for WP' or summat, it also INITIALLY appears in amongst the threads on the front page. Should you interact with it though, then you are interacting with it in its own forum.

I think the term is 'symlink' ? I haven't been in the back end of a forum for years, but hopefully you get what I mean. Its just a reference that takes you to the real thread thats located elsewhere...

In other words, a reply wouldn't bump it back to the top of the main forum, but it would bump it back to the top of the Q & A Forum... That way you'd get to see what was going on in the other forums without needing to visit them, and the main page would also be a bit more active with webmaster stuff?

People would probably love it or really hate it, but it's a thought...

The best way to navigate all new thread or new post in all forum is to click " NEW POST " nav tab central location on GFY
No need to visit each forum if you did the day before lol.

Yes, this is very true

However, if they appeared initially in the main forum (and I say main cause its the one most people visit) you'd see those posts in amongst all the political stuff, and it would dilute the politics etc...

Plus more people would post as I'm sure people think that it's not worth it posting in the other forums sometimes, as you don't get the exposure...

There is couple " MOD " available on Vbulleting.org like this one https://vbulletin.org/forum/showthre...ht=recent+post
That would do exactly what your saying ( take a big 2 minutes to upload to the forum admin panel and activate the MOD) .



Your welcome

No need at all! There is a new responsive admin on GFY https://gfy.com/members/xanadu/

We owe to this forum a lot, sometimes we post, sometimes just lurk, as many others I am sure they do too. This industry wouldn't be the same without it.

Things will change here A LOT ;)

I posted a thread about the UK age verification law the other week, something which might mean life or death as an adult webmaster for a few here, and people complained about it.

You're a British webmaster, with perhaps days to spare before the government determines your ability to make your living from adult entertainment, and you want advice at just about the only online adult industry board left, and other posters actually complain because you pushed one of twenty Trump threads off the first page.

I don't even know why pornographers here get so heated about Trump vs Libtards. They all hate us equally.

The fact must be that the owners of this board probably don't see affiliates as bringing any value to the table. It's almost as if they are even deliberately trying to encourage us to switch to mainstream (there is a mainstream business board (and it's very productive and helpful) but not an adult business board).

oh and add a place for your "i cunt afford" bullshit
