I'm gonna miss this place...
WG

Best wishes, Eric.

18 internet years is like 500 real years.

One hell of a run.

Eric, it has been a great ride and the best in your future endeavors.

I have been here for a long time since AdultCheck, AgeCheck and the rise of GFY.

Although, my network of sites doesn't make as much as it used to it still makes enough to pay a large chunk of the bills.

All the skills that I have developed working in the trenches have transferred over to mainstream web design and development.

There will always be new cats in the game that will change it up, it is up to us to nurture them properly.

Hit me up whenever ICQ or whatever works.

Bye
:upsidedow

End of an era and a sign of the times.

Best of luck to you Eric!
What a long strange trip it's been!



.

Liberals destroy everything.

All the best. Been fun.

Actually, no one posting business topics is what killed this site. When was the last time you posted here before now? All the affiliates were run out of the business and everyone who remained switched to doing business via apps & facebook or linked in.. The bullshit is all that kept this place going.

Affiliates are why this forum existed but the big porn powers that be killed the affiliate model when they started all their Xsales bullshit. After that the places was dead so people started posting BS..

One thing is certain it's not the bullshit that killed this place, it was the guys who killed off all the affiliates... :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

All the best Eric :thumbsup

One does not simply quit GFY...

You just say you do and then check back here every couple of months when you're bored :helpme

Eric, I wish you the best of luck in your future ventures! :thumbsup

Later mate, see you around :pimp

18 years you fought the good fight - thanks for letting me join all those years ago. Best wishes for your future endeavors.

Please just stop...

Eric good luck in your future ventures

bye bye........

Please just :321GFY

Not true at all, there are still thousands of adult affiliates. Just because you failed in adult and quit in 2012, don't assume everyone else has.

The lack of business topics subsided dramatically when the proliferation of political posts started during the 2015 political debates and it steadily got worse as affiliates, especially foreign affiliates, who had no interest in American politics, stopped coming here and posting business threads.

I agree. And the evolution of facebook and instagram really took the community value away from this place as well. This place was at it's peak not just for biz but for community in the pre-facebook era.

Just too many other resources to get our fix.


This along with the downturn of the adult industry like you speak of ended up being the perfect storm wiping this place of all life except for the cockroaches we see today.

Says the alt-right fake nic created in October 2016 to troll the porn star Natalie K off GFY, which you successfully did, she never posts here anymore because of your constant targeted attacks against her which is against GFY TOS but you were allowed to constantly attack her, and pretend to be her.

All your fake nics have chased almost all industry people off this board you piece of shit. Hopefully things will be changing with alt-right fake nics round here real soon.

This site should be sold to Alex Jones and his fans. They would do this place right and be a great place for them. It would make the news as well I'm sure. Not sure this site needs to be an industry forum anymore. Let it be what it is trying to be. A haven for the nuts.

They could make me moderator again. When I was running this place I had zero tolerance as did Lensman. But then it would be empty here.

GFY isn't trying to be what the alt-right troll has been allowed to try to make it.

One alt-right troll with 13 or so fake nics, and no job, is trying to make it your Alex Jones dream and we've been fighting it for 4 years now and will continue to fight it until we're all stopped or he is stopped.

The porn industry has never been about this alt-right hate bullshit that's been forced upon GFY and has been allowed to fester here.

The alt-right is wreaking havoc on many platforms, including GFY, and it has destroyed many others that are now no longer in service.

good luck man

What a pussy you are; how long have you been whining about that?

Yeah, I mean I completely agree we have too much political BS here and I'm part of it, but it's honestly just what happened once porn kinda died.. Something people can always argue about is politics so it happens.

I for one would 100% stop posting the stuff if there was a chance this would be back to business but unfortunately I think if everyone did stop the BS the forum would soon die.\

I really think GFY missed the boat on pushing mainstream though.. There was 1 point where everyone was trying to switch to mainstream and we were still a active community..

They really should of pushed that but instead the whole pushing dating sites = mainstream crowd took over and that never lasted as far as mainstream goes as that wasn't really what people were asking for when looking at mainstream stuff.

Bai Belly!

Not surprised that when people break their word & lose integrity you have no issues with that & hope people will accept it. Bottom of the barrel.

Good luck on your endeavours Eric and thanks for the past entertainment.

As long as it would be profitable for the nutty leader running it...:2 cents:

Shut Up!

Did he fail or simply quit?

I left completely around 2005-2006, sold the business and switched to gambling. Was the best decision me and my partner ever did. But I loved adult, it taught me tons of lessons of web, marketing, scripting and admin stuff. Sometimes I dream of starting an adult site again but it has to be 100% serious otherwise it's not for me.

GFY tolerance rating of 2019 is approximately 98,9%

I remember Eric sending me my gfy Hoodies

Good luck bro!

same thing

thanks for everything, Eric! Always a pleasure :pimp:pimp

I think you're right. I'm a member of many active marketing forums and the topic of 'how can I become an adult affiliate' or "how do I make money off porn reuploads" etc etc keeps cropping up like a nasty case of herpes.

No sooner do people answer the question that some other person posts the question.:1orglaugh

GoodLuck Eric!

It just felt right

Good luck! GFY is a unique creation.

Time for a fake nick amnesty, who was PornoJew and Agent488? Who pays Bladewire Media to be here?

Enjoy what life brings you.

As for this place... I still get business done here. I just do it in the business sections.

Allowing this nonsense does not help.

Best of luck Eric!

Before you go Eric, please release a list of all the fake nics pretending to be different people. Would be so funny

I am Lensman.

:1orglaugh

You were always top notch Eric, thank you and best of luck on whatever you decide to do next.

See you around! :)

Good luck Eric and thank you for all the swag you hooked us up with over the years.

All the best.This place will no be same without you Eric

So long and thanks for all the bans . . .

A Scooby Doo ending for GFY

WOW Eric , Good luck out there

Good luck in the future Eric. I found my GFY Denim shirt last week, stuck in some bag of stuff we were giving to charity. Rescued it.

Agree. The porn business changed a lot with the introduction of Tubes. No longer were search engines listing TGPs or Blogs the same way, no longer were people going to pay for porn, no longer were sponsors bothering with affiliates unless they were very big.

Affiliate killed themselves off. It was natural selection. The cost of affiliates could only be supported in a growing market, once most people in the West had good connections new subscribers were gone. So you were fighting over a similar client base.

At 50% off, the sales price, and rising plus every thing for free, sample, galleries, hosting and support. The costs of running most sites made it unprofitable to maintain affiliates unless big and no worries. Add the costs of new content, running a site, processing, design, etc and site were making less a sign up than affiliates so unless they were big. It wasn't worth it.

As for business threads, here's one. https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-p...mpetition.html

If you're not interested in the #1 item you're selling what's the point?
