This board is over
 

The GFY businessboard is gone. Thanks to bad management / operators, this board has gone from the best board in the business to a piece of politcal crap fuelled by some idiots here. To bad, used to be good for business.

The question what can be effectively done about that, I have an idea:

Let's start by an example and do some business - here's what I'm currently looking for:

1) site owners with sites that have a solid user experience and get SE traffic that want to earn more with their ad revenue (invite only, with ad rates and payouts growing for 6 years)

2) affiliates that are pushing dating or want to earn well especially with the following traffic (GEO's):

Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, Serbia, Poland (+ Austria, Germany and more on request)

White label dating, API, third party tracking support, advanced promo tools such as profile export, RSS feeds etc. available. Mailing traffic welcomed.

3) back links from solid sites, contextual links (no click farms in the footer)

4) new contacts, especially at the affiliate end - mailers, site owners, media buyers - only proven business to refer (and some that I won't)

Hit me up at [email protected] or skype: carlosprague and let's see if we can work something out

It's not yet dead, but really getting there.

No more business threads, no more contest threads, no more every 50th post gets free logo or cash, no more dramas.

This is becoming a Trump + political hatred board and the mods are not doing anything.

I am sure they don't care as long as traffic and payment from ads are coming in.
Anyway, it's just a board. We all make money from adult, that's the most important thing.

I like how you listed poland twice - emphasizing it's importance in the world of porn traffic :1orglaugh

at least those worthless contest whores are now gone.

I still get a lot of good business from GFY.. But I agree to much BS political threads, wish they would just ban those guys making the trump threads, same users everytime so shouldn't be to hard.
And its not bad management its just NO management whatsoever.

Agreed to the political threads. It just gets old after a while, main reason why I don't come here as often. It's getting worse than a Facebook feed :1orglaugh

There are rules about starting new threads in the Buy & Sell forum, why not doing the same thing in the Discussion part of the Forum?

Not to name names or anything but look at that https://i.imgur.com/hBtoOJQ.png :Oh crap:helpme

So how many businesses posts have you made in the last week? I always find it funny that people bitch that the board doesnt spoon feed them what they want on a silver platter yet they do nothing to support what they want.

The board is what it is today, because everyone has your mentality. You expect it to be what you want yet you dont want to do anything to make it that. The poltical crap is not what killed the board, the political crap is just filler content from those of us still active.. What killed the board is people like you who dont get involved with starting topics you are interested in..

None of us who post in the dumb political topics attack or try to run away business topics.. Its the fact no one can be bothered to start business topics but they can always complain where there are none.

The simple fact is if we stopped the political topics the board would be dead. Our dumb topics keep it alive and even I wish it was kept alive with business related stuff, but no one posts business stuff..

Porn is now at AliExpress :))))

yeah, fucktards posting political shit on a daily basis should be banned, they failed at adult many years ago so not sure why they still come here... must have no life.

So what do you post daily?

As long as you see banners all around the board. They dont have to do anything, they are getting paid. To me why any company would put an ad seems like taking money and throwing it in garbage. I cant see the roi working, trying to get the attention to the maybe 20 affiliates who are on this board.

welcome to 2018

Trust me; there are more than 20 affiliates reading this board.

There are also pay sites being built that don't advertise here but come her to find workers.

:2 cents:

I fully agree.

You would be surprised at how many people read but don't post.

For those of you that actually try doing business from GFY, you know what I mean.

For those of you that don't try doing business, you will think there is no business to be had.

You find what you look for.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I'm very angry with gfy.

Not so, only this section is full of silliness but fun to read, the rest of the board is still pure business.

I have joined 12 years ago, but was not active (since I had a competent webmaster ) until about 2015 when my webmaster got ill and had to leave. Since then, ALL and it is not that much, since mostly I am at the business end, I have learned here. I have now for over 2 years excellent webmaster ( GFY member) I have a DMCA taked down service for about the same time ( GFY member) and a banner maker and clip uploader ( also GFY member) for about 2 years and added an additional payment processor 2 years ago also from GFY member.

I had some " close calls" with SEO and traffic folks but no cigar yet, but I am not giving up and pursuing this and other topics of interest to me. I read this board voraciously, NOT just arguing with Bladewire...:2 cents:

If it were possible to LIKE posts…

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

/thread :thumbsup

So True.

Over the last 4 years alone I've found 2 editors ( 1 in Canada & 1 in California, 1 story writer ( in South America ) & 1 webmaster ( in Syria ) 1 graphic designer touch-up artist ( in the Midwest ). 1 editor sucked but the rest are all awesome :thumbsup

If anyone needs ethnic or trans content. Hit me up =P

Gfy used to be good for your business opportunities but nowadays it's all about politics (trump).

I try but I find it hard nowadays to continue maybe it's a good thing. I guess after all these years the fun is fading

Too many unverified anonymous nics that are posting hate & negativity. Ya'll know that's my pet peeve :) I get, and respect, having Anonymous nics, I get having many nics to keep the board alive. I don't get or respect letting a negative fake nic troll, with lots of time on his hands, takeover the GFY narrative. It's not cool. AVN has really let the industry down by not feeling the guy in. Taper that guy down and let the chips fall where they may,. AVN might be surprised that GFY might flourish again.

What is it that you post here instead again? https://imgur.com/hBtoOJQ

i saw someone else post this earlier today but it is very telling... knock it off already.

well leave...

This guy has no business here, but to waste his miserable life arguing.

Before the election cycle, he had very few posts and a different name.

My guess is he's just someone who happened across the board, snatched up an old user name and went to "work". If you want to call arguing on a message board day in and day out, work. :1orglaugh

There´s way too much political threads & when any one offers a business thread or flash of tits & ass, the trolls come out instead of a nice long decent tits and ass thread...

GFY definitely has gone down hill, and a big damn shame!


Maybe we just need to start posting anything adult or relative to our business & lives again! I´ll start one now, as we´ve just had an earthquake here... :thumbsup

Just add those idiots to your ignore list.

Aw, Mandy, do you want us to hold your hand?

Business gets done but those of us in the Biz long enough now know how to get our answers to our issues without posting threads. We use GFY as a contact base. It's also a helpful place to keep all your Show adventures and contacts organized. So GFY is still quite useful.

But when it comes to the political threads there are about 10 nics you could ban and 98% would be gone overnight. But for long timers in the Biz like Crockett, Robbie and 2MuchMark they are part of the problem, too. They are the ones the fake nics are arguing with and they argue back. It takes two to tango as they say.

Fuck you :321GFY

As long as the alt-right fake nic troll is allowed to post anti-american far right hate bulshit threads every day I will counter him and his nics. And if I stop someone else will take over I'm sure.

The porn industry is not alt-right hate!

And fuck you for trying to silence my speech and promoting the trolls hate dpeech as acceptable here! :321GFY

Do you think I LIKE having to call out the fucking fake hate nics? NO

Do you think I LIKE having to counter hate speech on here? NO! I do it for balance.

If his nics weren't posting their shit I wouldn't have to counter it. GFY will become another stormftont over my dead body. The admin needs to reel the troll in and I won't have to counter him.

You are right.
Nobody complained about all the alt-right posting for years; but suddenly you need to be silenced.

:2 cents:

Exactly.

Almost every nic here bitching, creates less than 20 threads a year they contribute almost nothing, and never have. They want me and everyone else that posts to give everything we've got about our industry knowledge while they sit back and rake in all the knowledge and barely contribute. Fuck that :1orglaugh If you look at my posts, not just the threads I create, I drop in and help with tech stuff a lot, and help.

You want to see a change then YOU start posting more industry stuff and YOU start calling out the fake nic and ANONYMOUS that don't post anything industry related.

The reality is the troll is pissed I've been on his ass calling out his nics. He's made 3 threads about me this week and he can go fuck himself. I won't stop calling you out you hateful loser :321GFY

where's the Red Carpet ?:pimp

↑↑↑ Fake nic alt right hate troll. AVN should ban these fake nics.

11 threads in 13 YEARS :1orglaugh And after you take it over you just make alt-right hate post backing up your other fake nics in threads. You're a sad pathetic fuck :321GFY

It's sad that AVN let's you destroy GFY with these abandoned nics you take over.

You forget about me?

Way to take an honest / innocent thread right back into your "black hole" of propaganda.

Your shtick is transparent. You've ruined this place for everyone, and we are pissed off about it. I would in earnest, ask you to empathize.. But I don't think that would fit with your obvious agenda.

This thread was a good read, thanks Grumpy.

Unimpressive propaganda / spin doctoring.

Whoever pays for your non-stop shilling should trim the fat already :2 cents: You've attempted to lump every single soul who disagrees with your narrative as a "fake nic alt rate hate nazi".

As of this poll, that's over 75 percent of the active board - https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-p...ake-nic-2.html

Sometimes.. (as seen in this thread) I guess it must be hard to realize that you actually are "the" turd stinking up the room.

Go kill some OTHER board with your paid shilling. This one still has some sentimental value for us. I can still remember getting KLIXXX magazines and hand submitting galleries when I first found out about GFY.

Was powerful back then, still could be salvaged.

What surprises me most is the inaction of the moderators who seem to be the main accomplices of the decline of GFY. :2 cents:

It's sad, but the harsh truth. My guess is that they're prioritizing other things. They could have turned the board into a more functional community and what surprises me is that it wouldn't take a lot of regular time.

The industry itself also had an impact, the less money on the table people have to work with, the less people compete.Tubes definitely had a negative influence on the industry and gfy. I'm not saying it's impossible to make a living with adult far from, many give up prematurely though and doesn't walk the extra mile necessary for something to become somewhat successful. All these small timers gets out-manouvered and leave permanently, then moving elsewhere for easier money. Where a majority fails again cause they just don't have what it takes to become successful.

You username says it all.

Concentrating on what makes money instead of a what was BBS floating on the few remaining advertisers and loyal members . :Oh crap

congrats to the winners ... :thumbsup
