We built this site using ice, snow and something resembling snow... only yellow.
Hense the official colours.

Notice the spelling of 'colours'.

Yes, GFY is orginally Canadian.. (Toronto) & it was started by Lensman

Doctor Dre · 03-20-2009, 04:43 PM

GFY was started by Lensman, Wizzo was the first mod on here. I was one of the first member.

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.

Ozarkz · 03-20-2009, 05:36 PM

Ahh ok that explains a bit..

You should cut it off before those words though, because ending it like that would just be downright.

And the ammount of posts got significantly higher almost overnight after the sig market was created.

polish_aristocrat · 03-20-2009, 07:26 PM

I remember once Lensman closed a thread saying there's no reason to swear on GFY...

Tanker · 03-20-2009, 07:29 PM

No it was not originally Canadian I am the oldest active account #2 account I believe. It was my job at the time to find all you fuckers and get you to sign up

Wizzo put the code on the server I believe and did the original install of VB

GFY was started in California.

You leave out free gadgets, longest threads, such contests as the millionth post and such.

Tanker · 03-20-2009, 07:32 PM
