Anybody else find that GFY has become close to useless? - GoFuckYourself.com

Hawkeye · 07-10-2006, 12:19 PM

It's all because of sigs.

I used to come to this site and most threads were interesting or had some value.

But now almost every thread on the front page is worthless. People are just trying to put their sigs out there, and then each worthless thread gets 30 or 40 one-word responses by other idiots trying to get their sigs displayed.

madawgz · 07-10-2006, 12:20 PM

that has some truth to it

czarina · 07-10-2006, 12:21 PM

It is not. Infact it is becoming more usefull. You just need to read the right threads.

4. GFY Haters... If you are a GFY Hater, don't go away mad, just go away. You want to hate on GFY, go do it somewhere else. Plain and simple

thing that annoys me is that, when you start a serious thread, it gets like 3 replies and ends up on page 3 within 10 minutes

This isnt 2002/2003 anymore. Like everything else, GFY has evolved. There are still lots of webmaster forums out there that are strictly moderated and categorized with very meaty threads. For the most part, I find them dull and boring though.

GFY is the #1 webmaster board on the internet for a reason. They must be doing something right.

Are you trying to miss his point?

He's not complaining about seeing people's sigs. He's complaining that the sig whores have made this board useless with stupid threads and useless replies. Turning off sigs won't change that.

xcitecash · 07-10-2006, 02:01 PM

One thing this thread does is make me wonder what the fuck we are doing here.

you dont like sigs ????? without them webmasters wouldn't find new progs to promote.. you dont like one word answers because you think its just people putting sigs up.... but because there is so mush shite and very little business in comparison thats what people have to do to get sigs exposed

we cant all afford to have our own skins and banner spots etc on here yet so thats how we start to build our business...or is that the real problem.

You got yours so fuck everyone else....

the real problem is there is too little business here and too many people talking shit... If i have had ten affiliates sign up to our shitty little one site (that converts very well BTW) from here i would be suprised...

what is it you actually want this site for ?????

His problem is with sigwhores posting stupid threads and posts. He's complaining about the same thing you just did, lack of business and too much bullshit.

When I clicked this thread it was surrounded by seven consecutive business threads. I suppose this could be considered one as well, although maybe not very useful. :D

I disagree!

xcitecash · 07-10-2006, 02:39 PM

look deep Daniel son.

cyberstar · 07-10-2006, 03:13 PM

that's because ppl put so much value in post count.. so everyone is trying to catch up with all the green nicks to look better... and therefore posting one word answers to get their numbers up

....

(post count +1)

So combat it by posting something interesting and of value...

fudpuck · 07-10-2006, 05:07 PM

What are you talking about?? There are always 10-15 threads with pics of hot chicks in them. Is that no useful?? LoL! ...it's all good as long as people don't complain about all the surfers this board gets.

Oh well, it's a real active board and you can actually follow the train of thought somewhat. Not many places like it online.

"GFY useless" thread #789231...
While the search function works, its not useless at all.

spacedog · 07-10-2006, 05:18 PM

for the most part..

I come looking for decent traffic trades & get squat,,
I come looking for hardlinks & get responded with the same "Joes got the biggest toplist" for the ten gazillionith time,,
I come to sell domain get 0 offers til I posted on another forum
I come to sell pr4 text links & sell only one out of 20 spots

but then also
I come to get helpful advice & many people do assist, so to answer your question,,, it still serves a purpose because in the pile of trash there are still some buried treasures to be found.

Redbird · 07-10-2006, 05:29 PM
