Plus, by joining up and pretending to be 'In The Biz' they got to feel part of the porn business. That they were 'Behind the Curtain' if you like... One of the gang... They got to feel that you were somehow 'in' the porn business themselves. Not just a customer...
Well that's all gone away these days, as have the freeloaders...

Hit the nail on the head. In addition to CurrentlySober's point - yes there was an influx on non-industry people along with the realization that posting/banners etc. on GFY just wasn't working anymore and rep's were desperately attempting to reinvent themselves since they had social networking down to a science but started loosing webmasters who just stopped using affiliate programs for the most part. Now it seems programs are in a holding pattern trying to keep their webmasters as happy as can be yet few wanted to say those evil words "tube sites" as to where traffic has gone.
Now than spend money on boards - we use tube sites and social media to snare clients along with stronger usage of SEO techniques that are different than 10 years ago.
