Is maintaining a presence on GFY as important as it used to be?
 

The industry has taken an obvious turn for the worst over the last few years, what are your thoughts...

it's important to know what the ruskie bitches are doing
it's important to get wind of the latest news of the bbc
it's important to see the frolics of the monkeys of the board
it's important to see sig.

You left out personal, social, racial, pro-gun/anti-gun, political, who did it/did not do it before/first, etc. drama.

I come back daily to watch the monkeys hurl feces. Sometimes I am one of them.

Just kidding, I read it almost every day.

:thumbsup

The numbers are way down.

Thread movement and posts on a thread have fallen drastically since even 6 - 7 yrs back.

the new social media has changed it all:2 cents:

Most annoying poster of 2014

GFY is still good

im only here for important shit like teencat's threads....

No, most people think this board is just full of shit, mainly because not a hole lot of reality is spoken here, its like a republican forum.

the affiliate model is almost dead here :2 cents: i said it like 5 years ago the affiliate side was dying :2 cents: ask anyone that knows me. one sponsor here the guy spit out racial slurs! even slurs at an affiliate manager of a company! he is still allowed to post here! :helpme:helpme its sad im thinking of just posting a few times a month oh well. sponsors dont even come here anymore just a few

So you mean average quality of people are better than average quality of total population :thumbsup

GFY is what is is and will never change. It's important to keep your name in circulation.

Less important than it used to be because:

(1) Most everything in this side of the business gives lower ROI than it used to.

(2) The board has a higher percentage of people with blank sigs and no apparent business reason for being here.

Unless someone is totally getting out of this business space, though, probably still worthwhile.

(X) Yes, because whether people post or not they are reading it.

This is a double edged sword for reason of all of the non-business related bullshit, I and collectively we, excluding the worst of the trolls here -- for them it is a one way street.

My business related posts are addressed to the "board lurkers" at GFY.

My political jousting or opinionated statements do not reflect the policies or people's views of our enterprises (The AC Webconnecting Group (the parent holding company)). In most cases, if posted comments are not business related, the opinions or remarks my own personal positions. Most of the real business people around here just keep to topic -- that is their choice ...

This board's (forum's) rudeness is intimidating often. Having been a construction worker and then a contractor for 14 years, I am a degreed expert in being rude and engaging in put-down contests -- we did that on the job-sites for sport and entertainment, to pass the time so I am thick skinned usually. But it's very easy to see why many read and never engage for fear of the rabid responses around here.

Not for you anyway.

YES!

If you think about it, GFY was a precursor two modern social media... there was nowhere else or you could post something and every one with in your group of peers in it within five minutes.

I agree, you should state what you do in this business or not post here at all. It seems lately I have armies of haters with more posts than me than me but nothing in their signature of any consequence. people that have never been up like to kick other people when they're down

^^^ SEE ABOVE ^^^

^^^ SEE ABOVE ^^^

Of yeah, absolutely. I love to take out my aggression on that idiot... you can actually see the BAC go up in his system throughout the day, it's hilarious.

you know, most of companies that are making me most of money, are here not active, so it says something. but, still good place to waste time, at least it is with people from same industry :) and, drama news, are here always first! :thumbsup

I have made money in the past from people I have met on GFY and from info that has been posted and I continue to make money from it. That is all that matters to me.

The lurkers are still here. That is proved everytime a certain thread pops up, and they all appear. So there is still plenty of eyes on GFY.

People moan about lack of biz threads etc, but i can imagine how slow it would move if it was only biz threads. And besides, GFY was never just a biz board. I think people have short memories. I can remember spending many nights on here years ago and it was just full of crazy shit. But fun at the same time.

Not as many people are in the industry anymore. And those of us who are, probably don't have too many things they need to ask since they know exactly what they are doing. And not like when we were all noobs with a lot to learn...

the buying section says it all :2 cents: before the epass dying the section was full of buyers less selling :Oh crap :helpme

Most of them aren't active because they've made a living stealing content from the companies that are active! and yes, the drama is always a plus LOL

Write-in Option #5 : Was it ever?

we need more contest threads ...


congrats to the winners... :thumbsup

I havent maintained a presence here in quite a while.

I setup 2 facebook accounts and moved all my 'business only' friends to the other one so I'm free to post about my personal stuff to people I'm close to, and I only check the business account every couple of days. Very few business friends remain on my personal facebook now. In other words, I have much more freedom. I'm happier.

One thing you'll notice is that income in this biz is up and down, with lots more 'down' than it used to be... lots of 'friends' love to be around you when it's up. But when it's down, they are like 'I'm busy' etc etc. But they are never too busy for me when they have a question.

So I let them off at the bottom and didnt invite them back for the trip up.

You dont need to maintain a presence to be successful. Just do your thing.

Nah, now he is just stalking my twitter. There has got to be some kind of way to get a cyber restraining order... isn't there?

You have excellent choice it sponsors, sir:

I knew all of the old school guys would love the PPC thing.

Hit me up and let's see what more we can get going together...I reached pretty much seven days a week, during the day and also at night Pacific Standard Time.

I always make time to talk to webmasters know matter how big or small, don?t be afraid to get in touch.

:thumbsup

ive always loved ppc, jay
i wish i had more traffic to send to it...

no worries, it's just an honor to see the old-schoolers taking note... always the hardest to impress
:thumbsup

too late :2 cents: look at how many programs that were sold after epass one of my friends lost 30 grand he went out of biz

the epass failure hurt a lot of us... i lost 1/2 of my paid submitters in one month, most never came back...

Always been about branding,mostly just a way to kill time

The short answer is no, it doesn't matter... For every 1 person who actually comes here to do honest business there are 100 trolls, thieves, degenerates, liars, psychopaths, keyboard warriors, losers and criminals.

it was too good to be true omg it was cheap! i moved over 10 grand a month :( good things dont last

Biz always changes EVERYWHERE, hence, if a particular place is not bringing in $$$ as it used to focus else where..nuf said.. :)

yeah gfy was a place to get good biz

I am here ergo GFY must be a cool place.

Pimp. Smoking. Sunglasses.

one of the characters in Chris's movie was supposed to be partially based on me... I never went and saw The Middle Man on principle... that and he probably owed myself and my companies around $12,000 at that time... which as I understand it, was on the low end of the spectrum

this is where I come to let out my Mr. Hyde side. Stopped thinking of it as a place to do business a while back, removed my sig when someone used it to fuck with my business and create a ton of false accounts at sponsors I had existing accounts with, and send fraud joins, whereby the sponsors started banning my actual accounts because of a tenuous 'link' with those and the fraud ones.

So yeah, this place is a shithole cesspit of tools, and no aff managers who at least could keep up with who is who in the actual biz.

Fair play to the owners though, adapt or die, and it's all about the views for advertising. Shame though really I guess.

:upsidedow :helpme you really have to put your head out from your ass, now you are talking like i am some trash who needs to stalk paranoics like you, no, i am really not, and you stop fucking with your brain otherwise i will start demand proofs here, mr idiot! :321GFY

I agree with you wholeheartedly on the whole stake nickname bullshit. I have been a member of this board pretty much since it started -- everything I have ever posted has been under "XXXJay"... hell, I don't even like that name, but when I went to register "Jay" and "Jason" they had been taken, so I just got stuck with it. Oh yes, thank you for the clicks to the new program, keep them coming and hit me up if you want to figure out a way to expand what we are doing together.

Now speaking of fake nics, I have this douchebag below you to deal with...

Wow, I think my IQ quotient just dropped a few points reading that post. I know you, Lucas131, and all of your other multiple personalities all live somewhere in Prague or Budapest. I'm willing to cut you a little bit of slack on your lack of knowledge of English, but that might be the most poorly written post in GFY history. I'm not one to ever pick on grammar or spelling, because I know it is the last bastion for a person that could no longer successfully belabor their point -- so, as a last resort they move on to arguing spelling, grammar, and ultimately defeat.

In all seriousness, what the hell is a "paranoics"?:helpme


It's okay, being functionally retarded is not a crime, just try not to piss and shit yourself.

:321GFY

paranoid. post proof that i have more personalities here and i am stalking you on twitter, or gtfo you ass ...

i am awaiting apology for all your lies you posted about me, because it is hurting my business ...

not needed, not now, just stfu and start acting like adult finaly ...

You have business? I have yet to see any evidence of that. Didn't you just get your other equally annoying Lucas131 personality blasted by Eric and you were begging "the good people of GFY" for some private messages or something like that? I know that the moderators have been somewhat lenient on fake nicknames and still continue to for some reason, so while I don't have proof of it, nor would I even take the time out of my day to look for it... there is this American witticism that says, "If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... it's a duck." Every time you post anything, I hear a lot of other ducks with suspiciously similar viewpoints, with low post numbers, and frightfully low IQs all quacking in unison. It's not an accusation, it's just an observation, so don't go getting "paranoics". OK?

Wow Teencat, you have actually caught on to one of my more advanced writing techniques. I only have a high school education and didn't go to some fancy pants college, but for lack of a better term I would call it "descending paragraphs". With this technique, I would make each paragraph a little bit shorter than the last, thereby verbally bashing my opponent into submission, as I finally wound it down to the end -- where I would use the shortest line for the eventual Coup de gras (French: A deathblow delivered to end the misery of a mortally wounded victim).


Except, I would do it all in one succinct posed rather than hitting the "Submit Reply" over and over again like a monkey hurling his own excrement at visitors at the window at the zoo...you fucking moron!

God damn you are stupid...

:321GFY

so what about you post proof, that i have more personalities at the moment, and i am stalking you on your twitter? post proof, please, i really demand that, and will be making new thread about it ... thank you for understanding

Lawdy, lawd...Your threads are so stupid you actually crashed my computer...I can't believe I'm actually having to rewrite this, but here it goes...

You are special and when I say special, I mean retarded. Your IQ is lower than that one kid from the West Memphis Three who falsely confessed to murders he didn't commit just to get some snack food from the interrogating officers, thereby thereby costing him and his friends almost 20 years in prison. You are completely unable to understand metaphors, dramatic irony, or sarcasm in any way shape or form.

Here is what I actually said, when begging the moderators to to have someone banned it always helps to put the words in the proper context...

while I don't have proof of it, nor would I even take the time out of my day to look for it... there is this American witticism that says, "If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... it's a duck." Every time you post anything, I hear a lot of other ducks with suspiciously similar viewpoints, with low post numbers, and frightfully low IQs all quacking in unison. It's not an accusation, it's just an observation, so don't go getting "paranoics". OK?

See, right there? That's ME telling YOU that I WASN"T accusing you of anything. It was the linguistic equivalent of saying, "When it gets overcast, it rains." Did the rain bring the clouds? Or did the clouds bring the rain? Doesn't matter. Regardless, you don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

I saw your other attack thread on me and I refuse to participate and it, if you want any response from me you ought to post your threats, insults, lies, harsh comments, grammar mistakes, bad observations, self righteousness, ineptness, and confess that the Spice Girls is your favorite band right here..

Because you know you love the Spice Girls!!! Just admit you lying cheat... which one is your favorite? Is it Ginger? Sporty? Baby? Its Posh, right... that really pretty one that's married to the soccer player. Yes, you heard it right, I am sitting here boldly accusing you of being a closet Spice Girls fan on a public board. My evil in twisted ways never cease.

Oh yeah, as far as that one twitter thing where some guy in the Czech Republic (checked the IP) created a twitter account and then posted it a few times behind a proxy... the only reason I thought that is because you are the only person I know that is that much of a psychopath for me, has the identical political agenda, and crappy English.

Are you still reading this? You better be because of about to get to the good part...

Oh hell, I didn't realize it had gotten so late and I need to finish writing the payout system for www.GFmateclicks.com, so we can figure out what we have left in our budget and I can get with Eric and pick up an advertising package.

Have fun in your other stupid little thread... this next week is going to be a big week for me and I'm sure you have trolling to do.

Toodles,
JQ

it is funny how out of reality you are ... before you get into adultmillionaire we never had a problem, right? and before you got fucked by them, we never had a problem, right? now, sir, from that time, i am your biggest enemy ... you have to get into the fucking reality, before you have some mental problems ... have a nice day everyone, and dont get brainwashed like someone :winkwink:
