There used to be alot of business here on GFY for sure. Times have definitely changed, but it's still fun to pop on occasionally.

Fiddy broke GFY'ers.

Curious though, Fuze, what are you & those friends of yours doing here then?

I don´t think GFY is dead, plenty of people still reading the posts, just some people don´t want to get trolled...


in the "days when this place was like a chatroom", I so remember everything said or posted would be trolled and make the place a place fueled by anxiety, trolling & tbh, many of the time, hatred.


Since the hammer come down hard on the nasty comments that many made, now, the forum has slowed down.

What is strange, this means now, you could post & not be trolled & yet many don´t post as they don´t want to be trolled & even worse than this, why the fuck was there so much nasty trolling, like a youth hostel, when this forum is designed for adults & the porn business...

adults, as we know, acting like animals, the zoo...


hope things get better here & more people post, asking questions on how´s best to shoot this or what server´s best for that, is pov still worthy porn & JOI vids, are they selling for companies to purchase & create their own pay sites & clips pages...



A big up to GFY, still alive & hope things can get to how things were, plenty of posts but without the trolling :thumbsup

I´m glad to have created a brand, a business & a steady income from the adult business...

if you work hard in any business, you´ll be able to earn a livable income :thumbsup

I mean 20+ years ago people figured out how to make a bunch of money from home, and developed this punk rock community of throwing porn up and getting paid. In 2024 most the money is made by companies who have offices and staff and work 9-5.

I have to disagree, not speaking for all, so yes, some are just people trying to make a few bucks in porn, but then that happens everywhere in other businesses, hotels, bars, the little corner shop & of course, the broke, not a clue with porn, adult content, what people want to see or seo, and these maybe continue wasting time, maybe on benefits & use their time & money to just live the life in the adult business & have fun with girls, if this the case, all to their own, let them do their thing, it´s nothing to do with me!

however, my partner & I live & love this business, spent 10´s of 1000´s over the years, because of the enjoyment of running an equal business, the love of sex, the fun on camera & cam, able to live comfortably on creation we make. We´ve always run our own businesses & make our own income.

I´m pleased that the hard work we have put in over the past 20 years, now with many fans have recently proven, a good business can hold it´s own & bring the needed income, it´s seen & appreciated by both me & my partner!

You don´t need an office full of 9-5 workers, although, you´re probably pointing out that the large firms make all the money, but to be honest, filming a good filthy vid that sells can be created by anyone, as long as the mood is right & morning or evening´s always best for a good fuck vid! :1orglaugh :winkwink: :thumbsup

I just said it's what I hear from people who work at and own successful adult businesses (people imply that gfy is dead because adult is dead). They're not here and haven't loaded the site in years.

I love GFY and am here daily obviously.

Ok cool, was honestly curious bcos we all know those friends of yours are heavy lurkers here everyday yet they insult GFY/ers and feel above the rest of us because they don't post . Anyways, glad you're here, nice to have a knowledgeable and nice dudes like you around these parts :)

I agree with you NatalieK, it's not Fuze tho, it's a handful of the fucked up friends he mentioned who are the shittalking weaklings who lurk here daily while talking shit about GFY'ers as if everyone here is less of a person as they are. They're hypocrites and cowards.

Long live GFY & fuck the haters.

I don't blame them. I also love this dead gay forum.

I don't think your take is accurate. People are busy and treat the business as a business. If there was money to be made on GFY more would consider participating. To someone running a multi million dollar porn business, GFY is basically 4chan.

I would bet that 90% of the 1000 people going to TES Prague this year have not logged into GFY in the last year.

I agree that 90% would probably "say" they haven't logged into GFY in the last year. :evil-laug

I remember when you could be hungover/drunk as shit, upload porn to a tube or MGP, and do hookers and blow that night and know you'd wake up to $500+ in Topbucks, ARS, and Nastydollars sales.... ahhhhhh the good ol' days!

(I didn't actually do hookers, only broads I was dating, I only ever paid for sex one time in my life and that was to give a chick who brought me coke $100 for the half gerb and a taxi home. Okay, yeah, taking a woman out to eat and then spending money having fun with her is technically paying for sex, but not really.)

I figured only a few would get the inside joke. When Harmon was an active poster here, he acted like a baller by posting that exact check as if it was his with the name blurred out. Then someone found the real check and it was made out to Rosalind Gardner and they called out Harmon. https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-b...light=rosalind

I got the joke. He's been called out so many times on his fake wishful-thinking life, but some of the threads have been deleted. He's so desperate for someone -- anyone -- to like him.

offjack 06-24-2024 11:55 PM

I just found this forum today, my insomnia got the better of me haha

I'm 26 and obviously grew up with porn online

The ads were always so surreal to me, it's good? to see they haven't changed much

Lately I've been making promo trailers on Twitter for fun, movie edits and reels for creators I hit up

I don't expect to make money off of this, especially instantly, but I've always wanted to be involved in this part of the industry, or at least learn from the OGs

roshnikhanna 06-25-2024 12:11 AM

GFY is not dead. When people look back to the glory days, that was when everything was new, so there was a lot of opportunity for first mover advantage.

Captcha 06-25-2024 09:31 PM

not dead at all... still doing biz here...

One time I got a check for $547k, and BoneProne did the same shit and posted it on his facebook like it was his, and tried to block me from seeing it :1orglaugh

Needless to say, we did not talk for some time after that.

GFY is definitively dying as the first page of the forum is now showing the posts of the last 10 days ! Never seen before. :(

Major (Tom) 07-07-2024 10:44 PM

Well, the industry isn’t where it was. That being said, gfy is the place to be. Say anything, and wordt is bourne.

Harmon 07-09-2024 08:39 AM

I love it here. I miss the way that it once was, but things change. I see I still have my haters. I love it. Over that, though. The fight left me a long time ago. Just enjoying the money I made.

Going to fire up a site to see if I can hustle a few dollars. Something super clean. If anybody is interested in some honest traffic trading, feel free to hit me up. “Thick” niche.

Site is sandboxed and hasn’t gone live yet. Probably by midweek or so.

If I ever did anything to hurt you or your feelings, take this as an apology. A lot of it was just board persona. I look back now with some of my posts with cringe. So yeah, my apologies. As I said, I am a little too old for the bullshit.

Haha! I made my dime in the industry and no, we’re not as “gung-ho” as we once were. I did well, and I thank many of The people that are in were on this board. Some of them, may they rest in peace.

That being said, sure. There are still fake nicknames on the board as I can see that apparently have a few bones to pick with me. I called out a lot of people on this board. Fine with that.

But yeah, as you grow all Older and realize that there are more important things to deal with in life, you realize how stupid you may have acted in the past. I have no ill will for anybody on this board. In fact, quite the contrary.

Hugs and kisses,
Harmon ❤️ 🌹 😘
