Whenever Trump tweets there is an instant meltdown by the sky is falling crowd so almost every thread is politics related.

Bingo :thumbsup started way before the election, but way worse now. You'd think a place full of supposed entrepeneurs & biz people would be more concerned with making money, but nope. No disrespect to Eric or anyone involved with GFY, but the slide started long ago. Can't blame the powers that be whatsoever for milking the remaining drops though, I'd do exactly the same... bitches gonna bitch, so there's still a ways yet before gfy goes to ground.

Only upside lately is that TheSquealer has made a return :2 cents:

This place is still useful, just way less gold nuggets than there used to be, and no real need for board interaction for anyone doing biz... goes smth like this these days: PMs > skype/email > tyvm

I missed the old days.

1. Weekly threads with contest, prizes here and there
2. free t-shirts/hoods from GFY
3. weekend promos from sponsors
4. a non payment drama thread where a company is called here and they have an emergency company meeting after a day
5. Paul Markham being annoying as ever (much respect), next to Brassmonkey?
6. Eric still posting
7. Baddog showing his cool bikes
8. Nalem showing his best photos (of course still blurry) and eventually winning a GFY award.
9. Edgeprod showing his house and cash lol
10. Scheduled fist fights between members but never happened. :)

and many more...

The little guys do no more than shave off traffic from the bigger guys. If there were only 10 porn sites online they would just share all the traffic. Having 20 pornsites doesn't lead to twice as many surfers. Even 11 sites doesn't mean 10% more traffic.

We sell an addictive drug and all we can do is share the available traffic. By giving the drug away, we killed the business. Now with free cams and dating the paid for options are earning less.

Horatio Caine Aka Escorpio is definitely a daily hate troll here.

He's happy today, he's posted that I'm a "faggot" (personal attack, Eric does nothing) he's made racial remarks about you and EBT , he hadn't called you a hahahahahaha yet. (Personal attack, Eric does nothing)

Horatio Caine Aka Escorpio isn't even in the fucking adult industry he's a racist prejudice asshole that works at fucking Shutterfly in tech support.

Myself and others post , ignoring Horatio Caine aka Escorpio and out of the blue he attacks all of us without provocation day in and day out. Eric does nothing.

Why the FUCK does Eric let this guy and his fake nics post here day in and day out trolling and personally attacking long time members that still work in the industry?

What the FUCK does Eric do when I report a post where I'm called a faggot with AIDS? Nothing. What does Eric do when Horatio Caine aka Escorpio trolls every post from Brassmonkey using every racist epitat & images possible other than flat out calling him a hahahahahaha ? Nothing.

Eric wants a place where long time members still in the industry are called hahahahahahas faggots and sluts by a non industry trolls with fake nics, how do I know? Because thats what GFY is today despite efforts over months by myself and other members to take out the trash here.

GFY is what it is because Eric wants it this way :2 cents:

Without news, politics and ranting threads GFY would have gone the way most other boards have gone. It's the threads people complain about that keep GFY alive, if less healthy than it was.

What would people be really interested in sharing about their business? I would never have tried to teach anyone how to find great models, shoot them properly and how to sell the content before we retired. This goes for most of the business people here.

So what's left other than promotional threads? Attracting affiliates, buying/selling traffic, etc.

Look at the number of signatures promoting the product the poster owns to see how right I am. Now think back to 2005 and the difference is obvious.

GFY would be a lot better without the hate trolls that Eric allows to run industry people off the board. On other adult boards people ask WTF do you waste your time on GFY it's just trolls.

I remember how GFY used to be and daily trolling without provication would be a permanent ban, a non industry person doing it, with multiple nics, would never be allowed past the first instance. Now it's routine here.

At this point it's more likely Eric just wants GFY dead and the domain will be up for auction soon. It's all about getting enough traffic & posts to get a good selling price for the domain.

No other reason to allow non industry fake nics that attack industry people without provocation daily, then ignore post reports by multiple users.

I've had instances where 3 people have emailed me they reported a post and nothing was done.

Eric wants more Horatio Caine aka Escorpio to take the reigns here, it's very clear, Stormfront II

EddyTheDog 06-18-2017 11:57 PM

I think it's simply that there are less individuals in the business - Especially there has been a big drop in the number of affiliates...

The trolls used to be funny and clever - Now we just have idiots like HC - Not funny and not clever - I really don't see what they get out of it.....

Eric, or whoever controls/moderates GFY , clearly enjoys watching people be attacked everyday without provication based on sex, race and sexual orientation, or they don't check post reports or their email.

Every industry poster still posting here has 2-3 fake nic trolls that insults them in every thread on any topic, every day, derailing every thread. We have them blocked but everyone else, including lurkers, have to see the constant trash and they leave and don't sign up or post as a result.

You're only as strong as your weakest link and we have a lot of fake nic weak links that are destroying GFY and they don't create threads like us, they just make multiple attack posts in every thread we make derailing every thread on every topic into personal attacks or politics or sexual orientation or racist insults.

They want to take over the board and make it a stormfront clone that has nothing to do with the porn industry.

Gspot & i both work in the industry and in every non political thread the trolls follow us posting off topic hate with personal insults trying to drive us and others off the board.

Lurkers are scared off because they see all the hate from users we have blocked off.

It's a shame the mods are letting this happen but they're clearly ok with it to some extent.

I suffered for years at the hands of a loser troll Damian Jennings. So understand your point. The problem is who is a troll. I won a poll of the year. :1orglaugh Even nominated for more recent ones.

Am I troll for pointing out the mistakes in your thinking?

Boards have rules against fake nics for a reason

Boards have rules against personal attacks for a reason

I don't hold grudges, people should change their tune or be banned very simple, they're killing the board.

I think a little moderation goes a long way...
If none is done; why are there forum rules at all?
If they're not enforced it's useless... :2 cents:

You guys are pretty funny with your "lurkers are being scared off" b.s.

Why do you think they are called lurkers in the first place? How the hell can you tell if someone is lurking or not? You can't.

For years I have had lurkers approach me at shows (even before Obama); the lurkers have always found GFY intimidating and it had zero to do with politics.

GFY started to die a long time ago and it's not because of the adult industry (well not totally anyway).
For years this place has been under moderated (where is Relentless anyway?) and the man in charge it seems couldn't give a fuck. Right now GFY is a tiny insignificant crumb in a vast ocean.

Trolls troll. Haters hate. Racist race bait etc etc..

This is nothing new but unfortunately the people that should care simply don't.

I don't know if I am part of the problem. I am never malicious I just take the piss and see what you can get away with. Not really bothered if I get a ban because it takes 2 minutes to get another username (or so I hear).

I would love GFY to go more business, more serious. Have some decent threads.
You know there is still shit loads of money in the industry but I think the enthusiasm has waned.

I agree.

It's one thing to have fake nics keeping the board posting, that's understandable. I can understand trying to be edgy.

Horatio Caine aka Escorpio isn't that. Aside from calling members in the industry hahahahahahas, faggots and slut shaming female members he does it without provication and trolls people solely on race, sexual orientation and sex. The guy works at Shutterfly and isn't even in our industry , yet is allowed to derail our threads and break GFY TOS.

Horatio Caine aka Escorpio violates GFY's TOS almost daily trashing the board up and Eric , the owners, mods or whoever, do nothing as they watch the board die and wonder why.

Did you ever consider with your obsession with everyone being a "fake nick" and all that might be a turnoff to "friends, employees, contacts" joining? What if one of the nicks you assume is fake is really a "friend" toying with your emotions. :1orglaugh

Did they also tell you how fucking annoying you are with your race baiting/whining and death news threads? You don't belong to adult. Just like the queer psycho, you run few free hosted blogs and tumblr.. and thats your one and only connection to real adult biz. There isn't one person here who ever worked with you on adult projects. Not one. And you have been sig whoring for how long? Same goes for meth head Nancy. Sucking truck driver's cock is not online adult biz. :2 cents:

And it's allowed, you can say anything other than the word hahahahahaha, and you can say it all day every day after every post they make personally attacking the person until they're driven off the board.

Why have a "report post" option if they're not going to respond to posts that are reported?

Even stormfront has enforced rules like their no swastika avatar rule.

If the owners needs a mod I'll volunteer. I don't carry grudges some nics just need to change their tune, the chemistry of the board is out of wack :2 cents:

I'm not online that much each day. Tomorrow I have a doctors' appointment and during the ambulance ride I plan to work on the site with my iPhone. :)

I'll contact you when it's time. Unfortunately I can't work 18 hours a day like I did before!

Ok where's the one for the phone again? There's a Android store download someone posted can't remember what it's called. 90% of my posts on GFY are from my phone.

Still doesn't solve the GFY dying problem but will make sifting through shit here easier.
