It's always been like that and yet he has been coming here since 2002.

I wish people would stfu with these weekly posts. Just leave. After 8 years it won't suddenly change and it's not like you don't have any other options.

You think Eric runs this place for you or for him? Think real fucking hard about it. What's more important to him? To have pwoor DeanCapture do business in a troll free environment or money in his pocket? I know it's a real fucking difficult question so i give you some time to think about it.

While we do not always agree, I have to admit that I respect the fact you always speak your mind on things, even when pointed.

:thumbsup

Fuck man, i can't believe you actually said this. Are you really this ignorant? What are you trying to say? Eric should give up that money so that you can do more business on this board without seeing drama and troll threads? I can't think of anything else really.

True.

But as some others have said, they get more business done here then other boards combined. It is hard to keep up with even a couple of boards on a daily basis, much less all the others out there.

While a lot of people admit to not posting, and just lurking on GFY to keep up on things. It still tends to be at least one board almost everyone, let me change that, a lot of people from recognized programs, hosting, processing, content companies at least 'checks' on some kind of regular basis.

Well then apparently Eric must be doing something right.

So everyone can stop crying now about the same old bullshit.

See you next week in a similar thread.

Is everyone crying? Oh ok.....

Well, of course your right and everyone else is wrong. God forbid Eric did anything that might jeopardize you the opportunity to participate in drama threads here on GFY. We all know how much you really enjoy doing that right?

I'm not gonna argue with you about it though. I'm not much into the drama these days. I just wanted to post my opinion on an issue that was bugging me here on GFY. Unlike you and some of your cohorts...I'm not here every day starting and participating in drama threads or attacking others. I get riled up once in a while, say my piece and then I move on. I don't make it a career starting drama & attacking like some peeps here.

Cheers and keep up the great work :thumbsup

At least you understand that.

I do not think either of them have been here all weekend.. I have a feeling the ban hammer will be strong Come Monday...

50 drama threads

i think its funny personally - still getting business done through GFY

Actually alot of people are noticing you as a big problem... :2 cents:

I like it the way it is....Yeah a couple people are morons, but I don't let it bother me..If I see a post or a thread by certain people, I just skip it....

Threads like this make me really want to do business with Dirty F...:thumbsup

There is one thing that really bugs me here and that's there are several big companies that are huge scammers and have had thread after thread about their scamming here and people don't give a shit and keep pushing them because they pay 50 pps.

Who gives a shit about a troll or 2.

Stop... you had me at "bugs me"!

btw... will you do me a huge favor and remind me how many more days (hours?) until everyone forgets about I$ and peace and harmony are restored in the land of Bros?

I'll do that later, i am playing with my balls right now.

Business still gets done

It depends on the drama. I comment on a lot of things and do business here. Idiots can be ignored but sometimes that have to be replied to, just to say you did something.

The business has changed and boards have to change with them. The days of doing business or even getting business from 100s of newbies are over, cue all those making coin from or by being a newbie. So it's people in the business with experience and skills talking to each other that matter.

On the other hand driving up the traffic with loads of inane posts from idiots who think they count is not a good strategy. Traffic is no longer king, it's what that traffic is and and spends that matters.

he changed the banning rules just so this would happen.. drama brings page views, i can't blame him... does it degrade the whole draw of 'gfy'? certainly. is 'gfy's reputation already pretty lowly degraded? yes. I see it is a 'ppl trash on the quality of business to be had from GFYr's already, may as well let the trolls back in, get ppl involved, pageviews go up, etc'

who knows.. either way, it's his board, if he wants to add some spice, more power.. i just expanded my vbf plugins Ignore list.

Un Bann Scammers and Trolls that took years to remove: Check!
POST INCREASE: Check!
BULLSHIT INCREASE: Check!
AD RATE REVENUE INCREASE: Incomming

The Quality of Drama was good and helpful before the unbannings.
Now its just constant nonsensical troll attacks IE; Fake drama...

Lets see how it pans out, is it good for business? I wish there was a little bit more care about the industry as a whole on GFY Industry wise speaking. Letting Thieves and Con artists back in and guys that just attack anyone they can is not very constructive to our community.

Face it everyone in the biz comes here. THere should be a little more responsibility and respect for hard working people that contribute here.

Watch what you wish for :1orglaugh

Skip the bullshit, there is still plenty of business done on this board. In the last week I have hired a freelancer and a designer off posting on this board.

I have a feeling lots of people would post here even if they weren't in this industry, only for the 'entertainment' value. Don't really understand it too be honest, there's much better entertainment in the real world than watching troll wars on a forum.

Especially for people past their teens or early 20's...

you have to have pretty thin skin or some other issues if you get upset about posts on an internet forum, especially if they dont even involve you..

i know the internets is serious business, but come on...

whenever i need or want something here, i make a post and put my email addy or icq in..

a lot of people will contact you that wont respond to a thread...

Don't be surprised if it swings your way.

Alot? Your poll has 3 people wanting me banned. 1 being you, the other being me.

You are as delusional as you are retarded. :1orglaugh

no you don't yuo fucking pussy ass bitch

stop whining faggot.

Ban Jon Clark

I agree it is frustrating, but there is still business to be done here once you wade through the bullshit. That said, it does make me laugh that it is always the same people bitching about the same shit here week after week. we all know who the culprits are, and just because we aren't in those threads doesn't mean that lots of us are not laughing at them (and by them I mean the idiots who are starting those threads and keeping them alive)

Sorry to all the nominees but you are my fave gfy poster. :liebe028: I enjoy what you have to say and leave the drama at the door.

Barefootsies finally reached GFY celeb status :thumbsup

Thanks love. However, I am nothing special. A minnow in a pond of smaller niche providers.

That said, I use boards, any board, for business, and I enjoy GFY for bullshitting with friends I have met at shows. Buying stuff, looking for coders, designers, getting feedback on ideas, etc.. As well keeping up with the happenings, and whatever. It also provides a social outlet when taking a break from work, or a moment of levity via funny pictures, or funnies.

I do not come to GFY to read the dramas, and try and stay out of them.

While the sig whores may disagree, for me, there is no money in fighting on message boards with keyboard warriors and strangers I'll never meet. Bannings, and bullshit drama do not pay the bills. So as the cliche goes, 'if it doesn't make dollars, it doesn't make sense'.

Lol. Hardly. Once I get to be as famous as polish_aristocrat, I'll be a celebrity... :1orglaugh

Actually, the only person you can speak for is yourself. Nobody elected you spokesman. Perhaps you're taking yourself a little too seriously. :2 cents:

Dean, I really cannot believe you would even make this thread to be honest.

Firstly before you even think of everyone being banned like you desire take a look at this

http://www.gfy.com/search.php?searchid=2727528

Look at the views it has generated.

Then look at who is posting in a lot of these threads, a lot of the people who make money and carry ads here are posting in these threads. Views help everything and everyone.

As it has been posted before there are other boards out there based on no drama and just doing business. And other no drama boards have started and fully failed.

I also see you've recently posted in some Jon Clark threads, is that getting you some good business? :winkwink:

I can also fully say that when the doors were opened that business has for sure got a lot better.

I would pay upwards of $100 a month to have access to an ALL business board. If this place was moderated by $12 an hour staff and only business was discussed. I'd PAY for that.
