Create a new thread about refugees.

This thread is about why GFY is dying.

But anyways, I'm done. Have a good night :thumbsup

If you and Crockett started half as many business threads as you do anti-Trump threads we might listen to your complaints.

You don't even promote your business in your signature.

the jump to a surfer-centric board didn't go as planned.

1 minute my friends, what we got? We have posts, we have many posts and everybody make the future.. But shit with us also. We must think cool and have someone think diffirent. But fine thoughts visit us every time.. Time from time we have a lot traffic and we happy same reservoirs dogs.

Steve Rupe 06-20-2017 01:02 PM

Because it has become a political board filled with political hate speech posted by a half dozen or so members of this board on a daily basis multiple times per day. They and you other members know all to well who they are so there is not a need to name names.

Pretty much exactly this. I used to be on and off the board all the time, years ago, but now the arguments and trolling aren't even clever. Simply vulgar insults thrown out with no thought as to context, wit, or applicability.

Basically it has become political mudslinging from both sides, accompanied by mindless insults at about the level of 8 year old children.

I still check in maybe 2 times a month, pretty much out of nostalgia, (funny that I checked in today!), but unfortunately the old place doesn't seem even relevant anymore.

It's definitely a shame.

There's no motive to start business theads they are instantly bumped down by shit threads, maybe on purpose? You rarely if ever post industry threads anymore Paul but you demand I do lol. I've spent an hour or so finding unique industry news only for it to be pushed to the bottom of the page by racist, anti liberal and conspiracy posts within an hour or so.

I don't need to push my sites on here I'm doing really well and don't really need anything. If I post my latest shoots they'll be trashed by the same 3 non industry hate trolls etc. so no point really. You know what that's like.

Eric is letting the same 2 non industry fake accounts (Horatio Caine aka Escorpio) troll me everyday calling me a faggot , fag etc. I have him blocked but everyone else has to see that shit. Why help GFY with unique quality industry content when Eric allows this bullshit? Fuck that :1orglaugh

P.S. It's been 4 days since my last Trump thread :2 cents:

What threads have you created? Your post history shows that you post almost exclusively in the political threads, none of the industry related threads.

I really do not have any interest in political threads but as they are there, yes I do occasionally post in them. You on the other hand are one of the half dozen or so that almost exclusively create them virtually multiple times per day.

I haven't created a political thread in 4 days. Your post history shows you exclusively post only in political threads (give or take a couple exceptions), not "ocassionaly". Reality check :2 cents: :thumbsup

Are you self unaware or lying on purpose? All you had to do was check your post history before replying. I took the time to do that and provided a link to your post history for you.

You don't create threads, then complain about the political threads others create, the same political threads that you post in. See your conflict there?

Over the years, the affiliate part of the adult business shrunk drastically - with tubes the old traffic sources that used to send big amounts of traffic (mainly TGPs) all died. They were largely dependent on affiliates submitting galleries while tubes are not. Internet is cheap and everywhere.. so anyone can upload content these days.

The massive affiliate base consisting of average Joes died with the old traffic sources. Those were the people discussing tactics and sharing results on boards. With a lot of ways of promoting porn there was naturally a lot to talk about..

Now the only affiliates that matter are tubes, review sites, discount sites and a handful of old schoolers who still run freesites with good Google ranks. No wonder the traffic on adult boards descreased, it just reflects the state of the affiliate business.

It has nothing to do with FaceBook.

I see what you mean about people posting so much in non-industry threads. https://gfy.com/search.php?searchid=5944147

Non-industry people trashing your business posts have no effect on industry people with half a brain. I knew that from day one, the hate trolls had a good reason to hate, they were nobodies.

Horatio Caine aka Escorpio and all the other fake nicks and nobodies need to be put on ignore or used to promote your business. Unless you don't have anything decent to show. Horatio Caine attacked my cheap sets that we shot on castings. Do you see how it works? People like him and others are nobodies. They only impress nobodies.

Not only affiliates, the number of sites has deteriorated as well.

I only post occasionally so it is only occasionally that I post in any thread. You on the other hand usually create political threads daily, post in more than you create, and post political hate speech by insulting everyone that does not agree with your ultra liberal agenda. You are one of a half dozen that do this virtually every day. I can do without the politics on this board and if it is going to be a major topic then I think it should have its own forum.

You mean paysites? or traffic sources? Because I mentioned that the old traffic sources died, so yeah.. there are less free sites.

As for paysites, most of them were shitty cookie cutter crap with a few pic sets and non exclusive videos.. There were tens of sponsors running 50+ paysites like this. They died because they lost affiliates who would promote any crap if it paid them well. Actually, I am glad they are out, that tactics of selling crap and ripping off customers was only causing harm to this business.

You often post very conservative and illogical posts supporting the conservative view.

You often post very xenophobic and illogical posts supporting the xenophobic view.

You often post very racist and illogical posts supporting the racist view.

Too many useless people are allowed to post, and that causes the useful people not to post.

TheSquealer 06-21-2017 11:50 AM

The same thread has been created 50 times over the last decade. As always some group of assholes is trying to say its because of those who post are rude etc. As if this place was anything else... ever "go fuck yourself". Give me a break.

People like Stefan (crybabies who want to insult others - usually passive agressively and then complain like a little bitch when insulted) wants you to think he'd be doing $100k a month if only I wasn't here or someone else wasn't here as if all the 100s of DarkJedis, DirtyFranks etc etc etc etc etc etc somehow weren't always here.

They were.

People just don't need content today like they did 15 years ago. One would think that would seem quite obvious even to a total retard. But then again, more than anything this is an industry of incompetents, continually lamenting the past and scheming to somehow put the genie back in the bottle... since picking the low hanging fruit was the only time they ever made a dime online.

The difference between now and way back when is that as the decline of the state of the industry continues, those who use this place as a distraction has grown and those who use it for business has declined. .... because those who were never business people faded away. its called regression to the mean... not "i need to control who is posting on a forum so i can make more money".

Why is it sinking?

Because there's less business to be done.

The internet changed quickly
How people use the internet changed quickly
Where people spend their time online changed quickly
The total number of affiliates declined quickly
The total number of affiliate ass kissers declined quickly
The total number of programs looking for affiliates declined quickly
Surfer traffic patterns changed quickly (aggregating to tubes)
The total number of thoroughly useless assholes chasing affiliates for hosting, content, design, cc processing etc declined quickly..... and on and on it goes.

Further, the amount of money to be made in mainstream grew quickly. You can come on here and tout yourself as an SEO expert and get blasted right off the board by those who know better... you can run and Ad on FB and get endless clients willing to pay 4 figures a month for you to do the most obvious things to their site. So why be here? Why deal with content that most of the net doesn't want to be a part of?

10 more Trump threads a day or 10 less has NOTHING to do with the state of or the future of this board (neglected and ran by incompetents since lensman got rid of it) or the business... and everyone's inability to adapt to the constant change of a maturing industry going through the VERY NORMAL and standard, textbook stages of growth and maturity.

lots of fucks that aren't even in the biz spending 15h+/day on here and posting BS... you know who they are... get a life losers!

His position is what its always been. if people would stop calling him out for the bullshit business service of "SEO text" as if there ever was such a thing, he'd be more successful.
