Well,shit happens,lol

Disappointing, yes. Understandable though. I remember when program owners were welcomed with open arms. Now trolls just use them as targets.

As far as the site upgrades are concerned, and you can correct me if I am wrong, don't most skinnings accompany announcements of higher payouts, new backends, more FHG's? Stuff like that?

Well, from my POV, I am here for the views. I would have to post on 10 - 15 boards to accomplish what I can do here.

has that actually happened to you? lol those banners get me huffy

I concur with Robbie

Very True!

I fully understand where you're coming from there baddog, even as traffic here drops there are still a lot of people here, moreso then the majority, if not all other adult webmaster forums.

time to put it back on the map :)

I still think the banning of a lot of people who actually work in the industry hurt the board a lot. Sure some people didn't like will76, but he was actually someone who worked in the industry and knew stuff. He's just one example though. A lot of good people have been banned for simply pointing out something shady that a board advertiser or bro is doing. You keep banning all the people who work in the industry and you end up with less business threads and less visitors.

They could not tolerate the animal cruelty.

Funny how im killing it since im here since 2001.

Fucking moron.

Youre just angry that i call you a faggot all the time. It upsets you so now because of your personal anger im suddenly ruining this board. God you are pathetic. Faggot.

I dont understand why you even took the time to reply to him. He knows damn well what he meant but he just has to be annoying like he always is.

whiny little brat frenchmen,

you are just mad because no one gives a fuck about a kiss ass frenchmen.

is it my fault i have personality and yours is that of burnt french toast?

i am loved, and i do not even have to try, you are a try hard and thats why no one still likes you.

if this place is going downhill it's people like you ruined it and chased off all the good personalities because they are sick and tired of whiny grown men.

And my contention is that prior to the additional $25k advertising (skin), they have usually done more than $25k in improvements.

i came back after a lil while away but not for the business i came back for the people...

The broken search is the single largest issue for me at GFY.

So nowadays my GFY experience is a quick look over the front page drama and then moving along to a board where I can actually find out something I need.

Fix the goddam search.

Its so sad how that french fag is crying about me and others. Its really like a little child. Hes all upset because we make fun of him and then he comes up with this like this. Unbelievable. I just had to make a second post because im really amazed how lame this guy is. Besides being one of the biggest asskissers one gfy.

That might be but GFY is still a valuable resource for me.

I'm behind Jewy McDreidle here - I did a fresh installation and saw all of the new ads and banners everywhere; if it wasn't for the ability to block those, I'd never visit this cesspool of surfers and trolls, anymore.

Could the drop in numbers be more of a reflection of the state of the industry as a whole, rather than just a problem related to the management style of gfy admin ?

eg. back in the day, a large proportion of posters were usa-based gallery submitters or small mgp owners ... most of which have since died off.

Maybe the same reason i hear the trade shows have been dying off lately too ??

Tubes sites? Naw its Zango killing everything!

Compete shows something very different

Congratulations on inventing "video boards" and killing people's connections. It's basically like those YouTube responses, but in a threaded format one after another.

If you thought the sound made by hovering over those adverts was annoying...

That's it man.. GFY lost all it's traffic to tube8.com

That stinks.

if it were true that the good people are left and idiots had moved on, things would be wonderful, but the reality is that many morons are still left behind. I've seen 2 or 3 cycles come and go since I first started surfing board (a year or more before I reg'd). Hopefully we'll see a new wave of good peeps back on otherwise this board will die quietly.

Give that Eric is pretty focused in other areas and most of the other peeps have moved on to new jobs as well-the old guard is fighting an uphill battle against a new enemy in illegal content theft (and consequently many leaving adult for good right now), that doesn't leave many left to post. Hence lower traffic.:2 cents:

I havent been on here long but I have made some money from this board and also talked to some great experienced webmasters. Being a noob I still learn a lot from GFY and some of the people who post here. Although I do remeber when the threads would move so fast you couldent keep up with them, so yeah maybe it has slowed a little but its still a valuble resource for us noobs

I use this board strictly for the entertainment but if I ever go to a show again it might come in handy to know some of the real webmasters. But I dont think there are many that are visable on this board.

Actually it is the same... Alexa is showing you that the rest of the Internet is growing.
