Why is GFY so popular.....

How did this site become so popular? Do you think its because of the age of the board? or because of playboy owning it? or because of the domain name? or just good marketing?

Because everything is here:

News
Drama aka piss fights
Colorful personalities
Funky news stories
explosive opinions
trolling
questions and answers
online publishing news
model pics
site revelations
contests

You put that all together, add a dash of Tim Leary and Franz Kafka, sprinkle some Thomas Pynchon, pinch in a little 50cent and electronica and 70's rock music and you've got GFY

Easy to admire, hard to replicate

It does have everything I seem to get distracted from my work a lot with checking this place out, And it is starting to affect my income I suppose the same has happened to many others? Once you find that golden drama thread and it gets to be about 10 pages you need to keep up and read along thats what fucks me over as time flys when you watch a good trolling

Many of the reasons you guys listed are wrong... It was launched at the right time and we did a awesome job early on of marketing it, which in turn made it very busy, which in turn made more people want to visit...

It was very successful and established before Juicy, before Lens bought GFY and the only way you could get here was to type out gofuckyourself, but it was the 1st board that would give you a Tshirt for 100posts back in the day...

Because this is Adult.com board. I think everyone of us remember Amateurpages and other Adult.com programs. If you start to be here, you'll stay for years. It's like a 'second home'

Actually GFY came before Adult.com but I'm fairly sure that AmateurPages had some to do with the success...

Exactly.....

I remember when we had our first GFY parties when it was just "Family"
and Joe hadnt bought adult.com yet.

Then he did and he was pretty pumped up about it, but didnt know what to do with it.

The next year or so he made the adult.com jackets and gifts, but still adult.com had nothing on it..

Then a year after that adult.com became a program...

Man time flys....

I remember going to shows and telling everyone about GFY.. Damn I was a whore..

But this place felt like a part of me..

I no doubt put some of the bricks into the foundation of this place. I helped build it....

Bow to the Power.
