Happy 20th Anniversary
 

Anybody still here from the old crowd?

No we all left :2 cents::2 cents:

They are all here

My 18th anniversary is this month I guess.

I missed the Golden Age of GFY sadly.

Still here tho. :)

A bunch of us n00bs; who are you?

God bless us everyone :Oh crap

i like poo

I'm here since 2003 :) not to old, and not to young here

Poor JFK :((((

Newbie here! :P

Whats up man :)))

You joined in 2009. Pretty sure GFY was still going strong back in those days: early 2010's. Now it's fucking dead. :2 cents:

Another n00b here! :upsidedow
How's Phoenix?
San Diego, is lovely as usual :)

Whats up man :) Hows the biting?

Hmm lets see the date ...

Snapper….

Whats up Mark, I miss you being my rep at CCBill... So many changes going on over there its a clusterfuck right now to get answers about anything that aren't read off a script :1orglaugh

My man! You are everywhere...

Well back then everyone was saying how awesome it was to sell porn on the World Wide interwebs between 1998-2005. So I meant the adult biz overall, not GFY so I misspoke (mistyped?).

As far as GFY goes you are 100% correct, again sadly.

I don't know how long I've been here. I'll post so I can check.

go fuck yourself lol

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh . . .

Got me beat!

Hi corvette! Long time :)

wassup Marc!!!!

Hi, long time no see :)))) hope you are well and LA is treating you well.

Yo yo ma!

nice, have not seen you forever man :) good to hear from you

Your going to have to speak up louder, eh!

:)

how you been man? :))))

Still at it, after a bit of time out. Lots of new ideas, and new possibilities.

And you? :)

i miss the old gfy!

Ditto that.

I suppose, maybe part of that is that adult biz was different then. The ratio of independent pay site owners to affiliates had a higher percentage of indie pay sites - hence, more discussion was about practical biz stuff.

Good to hear man :)

Out of adult, running a mainstream payments company, more work than adult, but much safer...

Man, opening up GFY which I had not really monitored in years, brings back memories, as I used to live and breath on here...miss it and the old crowd very much.

March of 2006 is when the consolidation started...when bandwidth pricing became low enough for the free tube sites to start gaining traction, went downhill for many after that.

Those were the days.

we were young

no shit.... :helpme

Who you calling "old"? lol

People are nostalgic about a time where anyone with no technical knowledge could build a mediocre website with a few photos and some lines of text and start getting free traffic from google, or submit low quality "galleries" with a handful of photos or 15 second video clips and get free traffic from tgps/mgps.

I think rather than be angry that low-skilled individuals can make a disproportionately large amount of money for a small amount of work, they should be grateful that such an opportunity existed for as long as it did :thumbsup

A lot of people are making more money than ever in adult, it's just not the same people and it's not as easy, but remember the time period you are yearning for was pre-facebook, pre-netflix, and pre-iphone. It's a totally different world and that's not Pornhub's fault.
