Back then Lens owned amateur pages, wich was the biggest PPC program. He used this board as support board for his program too.

What made GFY grow so fast was that they were giving shirts to everybody.

A couple years into it, Lens or Lars, I'm not too sure, had the idea to buy signatures and create a market on gfy, he was buying the sigs of the top dogs and spending thousands on posters to keep the board active. It created a huge market and a lot lot of webmasters were way more active. It eventually turned into a sig whore market and took quality of the board, but it's also a reason why this board became so busy.

It's been downhill since then thought.
