What would people be really interested in sharing about their business? I would never have tried to teach anyone how to find great models, shoot them properly and how to sell the content before we retired. This goes for most of the business people here.
So what's left other than promotional threads? Attracting affiliates, buying/selling traffic, etc.
Look at the number of signatures promoting the product the poster owns to see how right I am. Now think back to 2005 and the difference is obvious.

GFY would be a lot better without the hate trolls that Eric allows to run industry people off the board. On other adult boards people ask WTF do you waste your time on GFY it's just trolls.
I remember how GFY used to be and daily trolling without provication would be a permanent ban, a non industry person doing it, with multiple nics, would never be allowed past the first instance. Now it's routine here.
At this point it's more likely Eric just wants GFY dead and the domain will be up for auction soon. It's all about getting enough traffic & posts to get a good selling price for the domain.
No other reason to allow non industry fake nics that attack industry people without provocation daily, then ignore post reports by multiple users.
I've had instances where 3 people have emailed me they reported a post and nothing was done.
Eric wants more Horatio Caine aka Escorpio to take the reigns here, it's very clear, Stormfront II
