Did Bladewire save GFY?

Prior to BW's political posts, GFY pretty much shared the same fate as other AM-related forums.

Just look at other previously large forums' Alexa score trajectory.

Everyone knows BH forums, Quora, and FB groups pretty much destroyed the Affiliate Marketing forum niche.

But GFY remains defiant and now shows healthy thread turnover.

I give credit to where credit is due: BW 'saved' GFY

The open question is: has the decidedly politicized turn of GFY conversations turned off more people than it energized? When you look at the typical roster of thread participants there's a predictable set of expected participants... Does this indicate a fairly narrow appeal?

Then again, when SURVIVAL is the name of the game, it doesn't matter.

What do yall think?

To the disdain of my fellow GFYers I've said that way before (I nicknamed him “GFY's oxygen tank”) . . .

I fail to see how 10 nicks arguing the same shit everyday made anything better.
It stopped me from posting as much.

And it ain't just bladewire. There's a whole team of these guys.

Blade is just the gay lefty, so he gets all the attention.

I think CHUMP saved GFY and when he gets kick out of office everyone will have to start posting would you hit it pics or GFY will be lost again!
At least CHUMP was good for something ?

Once one of a handful of nicks starts posting in a thread, even one which was not intended to be political, that's pretty much it... they all jump in and post the same shit.

I'm a centrist capitalist. I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

The assumption that because I'm a Gay single father that I'm automatically a "lefty/leftist" is wrong.

Anyone who reads my posts will see my conservative immigration views, my conservative spending views, my pro war & pro foreign colonialism views knows I'm not a leftist.

People who don't see me as an individual via my posts and just glide off stereotypical political nomenclature based on my sexuality are being intellectually lazy and personally insulting.

Regarding the OP (thanks for your compliments MCE & CaptainHowdy) I've seen GFY go through phases through the years and change over time and it's always been about the people who take the time and effort to create threads.

If you're passionate about something create threads about it and influence GFY.

It seems there are not a lot of passionate people in adult creating threads on GFY for the last 5 or 6 years.

If you don't contribute to GFY by creating threads and you want it to change you complain. That's a failed strategy.

Create threads.

The board is basically a shit show now with shills and counter-shills. It probably increases the traffic in the short term while driving away real users and actual porn related discussion. Embracing trolls and driving away business is not what you want a board to do. GFY will probably be replaced at some point by a real moderated board.

One thing that would help GFY would be being able to have all business-related threads pinned to the top of the fucking around section for 2 or 3 days each thread

For some reason some people have no idea of the 10 other sections of GFY that are completely business-related with no political threads/posts at all.

There are tons of biz threads on gfy. Just not kn this section. But I agree, I rather see contest threads, would you hit it threads, and just nude babes in this section rather than CNN style arguements.

Another vote for Trump.

If Hillary had won, then most of the political threads would be gone and GFY would be in steep decline.

As for business threads. What a silly idea. Business threads about what? Teaching or promoting to affiliates to promote your site!!! General advice on "How to" threads so someone else can step onto the ladder you're currently on!!!!!

Adultking tried vainly to get something going and gave up, due to lack of interest.

One of the main reasons for those "would you hit it" threads were to promote new models and content on sites. That reason has died off and now we have softcore images of non-porn girls to make amends. Doesn't work as well.

So stop posting stupid shit. https://gfy.com/search.php?searchid=101046

Constant posting claiming white working class criminals are Trump supporters gives one a profile that one deserves.

There you go again, filling in a formula that gives people the impression you're a sandwich short of a picnic.

How long would it take to find all such posts of yours on #1 of GFY?

It's still no guaranty people will read and reply.

https://gfy.com/search.php?searchid=101046 25 posts in the last two days. All contributing Zero to the business side of the board. But all keeping GFY ticking over.

Hopefully my heart will keep ticking over to stay with you.

Nope.

Republicans would have been investigating Hillary for the last two years and you would have been posting about it everyday how she's an evil witch master manipulator.
