Hey folks!

Seeing DWB's thread got me thinking. A lot of us here remember the GFY of years past. For some reason, we seem to think it was better. Let's remind ourselves what made it better and who made it better and maybe we can bring back some of that "tits or GTFO" charm.

Things I Liked About GFY


- you could say anything, get in a conversation with anyone, and it would be fairly entertaining. It wouldn't ALWAYS devolve into trash talking, but the best threads did. Much popcorn was had because the struggles were between characters we knew and loved or loved to hate.

- you could find someone willing to help. There was easy access to people with industry experience or skills that you needed. Odds were good that they would even reply to requests for assistance or information. Beneath the bluster, most of us were good folks.

People I Appreciated

RedShoe's video skills were awesome and I really enjoyed his posts.

SleazyDream had a great idea going with his Ambush Interviews. It was a neat inside look in an AMA style thread that everyone participated in. Here's one: https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-p...view-elli.html

Quiet had great advice and didn't get involved in shitposting. I always respected him for that.

Now it's your turn.
