I think I met you at the Phoenix forum!


When I came back through customs that year and I had video of the Lightspeed Girls jumping on the trampoline nude, I was held in customs for 6 hours and threatened with a cavity search because the customs agents claimed it was child porn.

I said "look in the video you fucking losers, there are cops standing in the background near the garage door exit watching too, you fucking dipshits"


Holy fucking shit, they had 6 guards circle me while some short haired dyke cunt berated me and accused me of being a pedo.

We need merchandise, lost my GFY hat some years ago on JFK's Kingsday Cruise.

Truck Trudeau!


A girl stole my GFY hoodie when we broke up... I need another GFY hoodie so bad.

Glad a fellow GFY'er is doing well. The porn industry has given me a great life, and I want to give back by creating the next thing beyond the tube site. I'll be showing it off soon.

I have some cool projects that I'm working on at home, one is a 1958 Chrysler Imperial with a 392 hemi in it. It only has 14,000 miles on the odometer and it's a fucking boat of a car that has all the luxury of the time.
I converted the formal dining room into a game room that's almost finished. My dad gave me a pool table he had custom made in 79 by the Adler Pool table company, had it appraised at 14k. I have a 1966 coke machine in the room and some cool art made out of some car parts in there.
I volunteer with the American Legion when I can, it's a veteran group that does some cool things, I'm supposed to meet up with the legion riders at some point, retirement is maybe three years at most away. I could retire now, but want to finish what I started with this trucking gig.
I can't see another house from my house and it's the biggest house I've ever lived it. Cost less than half what we got for our condo in Los Angeles and it's kinda cool living on a reservation.

So yeah, life is good, no worries, only payments are for the new bike and my KW. I'll have them paid off in a couple years.

I think I have a video from the naked dodge ball game somewhere. People still question weather that ever happened

I still have some, I think most of it made the move. A clothing line would sell like crazy if done right

GFY needs to expand way past the adult industry. There should be a forum for cars, for movies, for tech, for every single category out there... And then promote it to all kinds of people.

Not the right domain for that

GFY is still alive because it REFUSED to change

Sadly, when marketing forums change, they usually end up dying.

DP changed, they are dead.

WaFo changed, they are dead.

WiFi changed, they are dead.

BHW is still alive because the changes they deploy seek to enhance users' existing experience instead of a radically new model.

What's funny is you just proved my point, you work hard on this, so it must be worth it.
And you're doing it without a 3 letter domain and the help of all the people of GFY.

nah fam, the profit is probably important too don't you think? you can't make money on model fan sites because the margin is razor thin.

i made about $3 an hour on that project.

the thing you aren't seeing is gfy does not attract models. its not avn. there's 3 regular models here. it also does not attract fans. that's two uphill battles no one around here wants to fight for gfy.

your entire business plan is based on the 3-letter domain. you keep bringing it up, but its just a domain. there's many failed 3-letter domains.

a successful online biz takes a team working thousands of hours. you must think it will be a volunteer army? where's your investment?

i'm not being negative, i'm being realistic. someone will have to build and manage this thing while you're staring out of a windshield all day.

Would be cool if GFY expanded and did some new stuff.

they did a lot more when the industry was excessively profitable. gfy awards, free sweatshirts and hats, etc. this front page would cycle 3-4 times a day.

one thing i'd enjoy is more video conferences. the ynot conference during rona was cool. most of us are working in the dark coding shit. its fun to see other webmasters and talk about webmaster shit.

that's the audience here. its not models.

As GFY sits now, yes it doesn't attract models. Why it would need rebranding separate from the forum.
The current state of affairs where we have a president that's known by three letters, FJB , proves yes you can promote a three letter domain differently than just a domain.
You're thinking in the box, throw out the box.

The industry is always changing, you have to adapt and overcome as my stepfather would say all the time, yes he was a Marine.
This isn't about the adult webmaster industry, this is about using two outrageous domains for more than a redirect.
Let's say we got gofuckyourself clothing line running and got a couple rappers to wear them in a video. How many people would want GFY swag.
Then instead of just using GFY.com as a redirect, put it to work and develop social media for adults only, an onlyfans style plugin so models have a direct line to clients.
Make it so they have to spend $1 on a credit card to join to keep all the Karen's from complaining and then we can track users. If they misbehave, they can be effectively banned. Yes they can do that.
I could go on and on about it, but letting those great domains sit as a redirect is a waste.

Thanks, way back when I was with Playboy I asked why sex.com didn't become a social media site.

I was doing well up until the mid 2010's... then when my kid was born and I quit doing cocaine, I found it hard to want to sell porn! I swear, I lost the edge and interest in selling porn.

Got it back now after the NIGHTMARE of fucking COVID in Canada... goddamn... I could never work for someone else anymore. At any time they could bring back the "vaccine pass" and I could be fired from my jobs, again.

Being a trucker protected me from the same bullshit, being an owner operator makes it pretty hard to get fired.
I literally can't run out of work because I deliver food.

Like a frog in a dry well as usual, my friend.

I remember that many members where summoned (I bet you as well) when the new GFY administration took over and nothing happened after that.

He made all this fun. He wouldn't have tolerated a lot of the bullshit going on.
Still remember him saying in the office for his birthday, " no one better be giving me any fucking balloons"
So I got him balloons, tied to a bottle of Jack Daniels, he was ok with that!

Or is it because there are so many people here now that are not in the industry and driving trucks and such? Just sayin'.

I have two websites (mainstream) in production, GFY has a mainstream section. Never assume , you'll probably get it wrong

I was never summoned, but rarely read the emails from the address they have. I came back on my own accord and saw that nothing, literally nothing had changed.

Trust went out the window with the 2008 flash crash.

Giving business advice I just told a Canadian to "do your own thing".

He replied, "what does 'do your own thing' mean?"

Some of what I propose actually comes from things they were talking about while Texas Dreams was running the show.
The board software actually has some social media plug-ins available.
