This Section Should Be Locked Up Right Now EXCEPT...
 

For vetted industry people.

Eric, the general public has no business in this forum and shouldn't be allowed in here.

After reading surfer forums full of surfers LAUGHING at the webmasters on GFY and our posts about piracy killing sales...We need a place to discuss strategy and ideas without giving it away like we have every other detail of our business on GFY over the last few years (much to the detriment of this business)

This should be at least the ONE section that requires that YOU know who is allowed to read it and that you personally know that they have vested interest in it.

Just saying. I've been begging for a "real" section for people in this business only for a while. This could be that section.

If you don't do something along those lines, I fear it will either be dead as hell on this section...OR it will be closeley monitored by pirates.

damn, I agree

^^ agreed ^^

It's about damn time! :1orglaugh

I agree as well...

I second that!

Agreed.
:thumbsup

And who is gonna decide who the vets are and who aren't? So deny access to newbies who don't know much and they will think it's aright to go out and get full length videos, so instead of educating them, you're pushing them away, and creating another person that could become another big pirate site... :2 cents:

props
power to what robbie says

i agree

Perhaps not the general discussion,

But a sub-forum of "ideas and soloutions" should be locked down to the people who will be working with/using the ideas and/or soloutions to start fighting back against this problem.

Not sure it could work but if someone has an idea / product / service that works, we wouldn't want that to be put out there for all eyes to see.

I agree, thanks Robbie for bringing this to light!

I agree with Robbie here.

Nobody said anything about "Vets" I said "Vette" as in "Confirm that they are legitimately in this business"

I agree that new folks should not be excluded.

Even if fellow industry people could make others "Industry Certified" that'd be sweet... im certain there is a vbulletin plugin for this

Good idea, Robbie.

I agree. At least for registered members only.

I agree with Robbie!

Great Idea, id love to see this as well!

i agree def members only section

im in here and im laughing at your futile efforts to combat sharing of free streaming porn.

Bingo!

This is what I'm talking about Eric. Do we really need fake nicks and trolling and all the "wit" in this one section?

As soon as gideongallery jumps in here with his bullshit..I'm gone.

cry to your daddy you faggot

Crying now. And I guess you're a homophobe as well? I like gay people.

If I didn't know for a fact that you're only here with your fake nick because you're pissed at GFY over the tube skin and want to drive everyone away...I'd think you have serious issues. But I know what you're doing so I also know you have no serious issues. Just a beef with GFY. Carry on with your crusade.

In the meantime I'd still like to know, if and when Eric finally gets done drinking at Oktoberfest if he could please take your ass out of this section along with any other fake nicks and/or surfers and anybody who can't prove that they are in this business.

I agree with you Robbie, as long as newbies like myself will be able to take a part of the discussions. I might not have much to show for but I am def. working on it and as time passes by I am learning more and more. Don't mistake me for some hack that don't care, have a fake nick or a regular surfer (my nick is my company if you were wondering). I am 100% dedicated and I'm just looking for the perfect wave.

That's the kind of people who should be in this section.

you better have proof OR ban hammer.

This is a good idea but it needs to be done right... and Robbie is hitting the nail right on the head :thumbsup

Let's check your recent posts idiftl and see all the valuable wisdom you bring to this community:


Starting to see a pattern there? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

What a joke to even have this kind of nonsense here.

So how would you determen someone who is able to view and participate on this kind of board?
Obviously 'ass holes' need kept in their place- but what about the true new folks in the community?

Being new myself- I'm just curious as to how that process of elimination would occur?

Simple. You write a mod. Introduce yourself, list what you do in this business and show a url proving you are at the very least a webmaster. Pretty simple.

There is another adult biz forum that REQUIRES every poster to post in an "introduce yourself" thread before they are allowed to post anywhere.

That stops all the bullshit and stupidity right there.

It may have been funny 8 years ago when the first guy got the cute idea to register a fake nick and use it to act stupid. But now it's so played out that it's just a waste of space.

Those need to be gone, at least in one damn section. And anybody that isn't actually in the business of producing, acting in, design, creating, or selling porn shouldn't be in here either.

If a person is in this business they should be able to easily say: "Hi, my REAL name is blah-blah My nick is blah-blah I own blah-blah and here is my website. I would like to be able to post in the PORN BUSINESS section"

That should be simple enough. Let people act like jackasses in the Fucking Around section. It's almost impossible to have any kind of business discussion over there.

And further I'd make it to where IF somebody decides to act uncivil in this section...they are BANNED from this section. Let them act like assholes in the rest of GFY.

Just one little section that isn't entertainment, but actual business that is unviewable by the general public would be very welcome.

yeah I hear ya- that makes complete sense:thumbsup

Got this locked down to Registered users only now. We will start there and get more strict if need be

Good Deal! :thumbsup

Lock this area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:thumbsup

I agree. known webmasters only. Need a private list of webmasters for this area.

Yea, should be program owners and affiliates too, and maybe even invite only.
gfy is 90% troll and tube owners now
Duke

what about the vetted industry people who run CELEB programs? ;)

LOL

"stealing content is BAD, but hey you got a celeb program buddy let me buy you a drink and send you some traffic" LOL

tongue in cheek
