ten things that irk the piss out of me on GFY but i love anyway
 

Here are mine, feel free to add your own of flame me accordingly...

1. Program launches with skanky, bored, and lifeless stripper content that fake nicks, faux friends, and ass licking reps rave about like it is the greatest thing they have seen since Jordan Capri finally took dick on video. I have never witnessed so many Emperors wearing so few clothes in my life.

2. Trolls who literally have zero business sense, nothing notable in terms of profitable business operations, and offer no practical advice or skill to the betterment of anyone being eventually respected as "trusted sources" for business advice just because they trolled around long and hard enough to be considered authoritative.

3. False controversy threads to try and generate views... (kind of like this one but I will risk being a hypocrite just to get this crap out of my system.)

4. Fired reps hasty farewell threads that seem to pay respects on the surface then seethe with understated resentment and the rebuttal replies by program owners trying hard to seem professional and like they weren't idiots for hiring morons in the first place.

5. Old-timers resenting young upstarts and vice versa just because things are different now than they used to be or will be tomorrow. Get over it. Trends shift. Business models change. Some will adapt and some won't but it really doesn't matter how old you are - just how willing you are to work and adapt to the fluctuations.

6. People still bitching about how "tube sites killed porn". Seriously? Porn has never been more prevalent and people are still making millions off of it. Just because you are not doesn't mean it is someone else's fault. It means you are clueless and should probably start figuring out the timer on the fry fryer at McDees.

7. Most any so-called business thread by Paul Markham. They go on forever and serve zero purpose beyond giving a self proclaimed retiree something to do besides bug his wife for blowjobs. I could have put this into the last bitch point but felt it deserved its own gripe. F-U and F-Me if we disagree on that.

8. Contest threads that turn out to be carefully orchestrated ruses to get a bunch of rubes posting incessantly for nothing worth mentioning.

9. Fake nicks with inflated post counts of just completely useless responses. Anyone that disagrees with me on this needs to meet me at show so we can fight then enjoy a bro-beer afterwards.

10. People bitching about XYZ generic fly by night proggie of the moment going out of business (again) and needing to pull links (again) when they could have been promoting Homegrown Video or some other steady professional, reputable prog instead. And guess what... just because the prog is CCbill doesn't mean a damn thing because those sites go out of biz too in case you weren't paying attention.

11. That twat who posts 'I like poo' in every thread...

I VOTE BAN!

Good points all!

I spit out my drink when I read that.

that's it? only 10 from you? I lol'ed at #7...thanks

...... and congrats on a long read made easy for the use of paragraphs. I'm tired of trying to read a page full of words with no paragraphs. Nice post Far-L

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

funny how all 10 of those are pretty much 99% of GFY

12. people who whine and whine and whine

Good post. I think its funny when the Bros smooch each others back pussies. Always get a kick out of that.

:Oh crap :1orglaugh

This will be one of my all time favorite threads. Thanks for the frustration. But you still owe me $50 from 1997! LOL! :thumbsup

13. "Ban someone they made me cry" threads.

14. People that threaten to out someone for doing something horribly unethical and possibly criminal that is most likely screwing over dozens if not hundreds of others then don't say anything just because they got taken care of - leaving everyone else to suffer needlessly

i still blame tubes man!

Elska still doing porn?

We all wish. I took a look at some of her video the other day and I can honestly say she makes Norway proud with her anal sex capabilities.

I bet you Trey Parker is still getting a twinkle in his eye to this very day over that night... :winkwink:

You knew that nobody would read a long drawn out numbered post like this and go directly to number 10, where you promote your company. Good marketing I like that :thumbsup

too long. didn't read.

Here's a fun one, can anyone find 10 things that don't piss you off about GFY?

Great post, Far L. I'm guilty of at least a couple of items on your list LOL (/grin)

Anyhoo, can I get permission to REPRINT your list on http://www.highrevenue.com It would make a great addition to our webmaster assistance content. Of course, you'll get DO FOLLOW backlinks (maximum of 2) Let me know.

Are you asking me if I would like to engage in shameless self promotion? What kind of whore do you think I am? :winkwink:

Of course! Please, go for it.

i love your avatar...

lick that plate clean fatty.... :1orglaugh

Excellent point. I remember one instance earlier this year where someone said a sponsor had charged her for a 'bonus' membership, that their customer service had given her the run around when she had disputed the charge (without indicating that she was a webmaster), and that her stats gave a clear indication that the program was shaving.

Then she asked - "What would you do if you found yourself in a similar situation ?"

The same post was on every board I check and she never called out the sponsor on any of them despite the fact that the sponsor was simultaneously fucking over their affiliates and their customers. When accounting for the fact that mistakes can happen, it's more than likely the sponsor was either fucking over one or the other, but broken window theory logic suggests they were likely fucking over both.

She never called them out.

One benefit of GFY in such instances, though, is that there is enough activity to where annoying threads will get buried quicker than on other boards. It seemed like the above post was towards the top of other boards for weeks and it annoyed the hell out of me every time I saw it.

Anyway, great list. :thumbsup

Yeah, that is why I gave it a "love to hate it" title.

by the way... looking at that title reminds me of the next one...

15. Grammatical Booger Patrol people that point out spelling and grammar errors (like I have in the title of this thread...oops, my bad...) to people whose first language is obviously not American-style English and probably is actually a European that speaks three or four languages.

HAHA.

I <3 FarL

:thumbsup

Excellent post, Far-L :)

16. People that profess to be webmasters/professionals that judge content not by the business it will do but by their own tastes and proclivities as if every other person should think and spend their dollars the same way not realizing that not everyone likes skinny little white girls with fake tits and no asses that look like they would rather be at the club than in front of the camera having to fuck to make rent.

yup... then fuck each other about money...

I agree 100%!!!

that's just bad biz on their end.. I've seen girls bagged out like fucking dogs here that convert AND retain like a mother fucker $.02

The day everyone learns why that is I am screwed like Pam and Tommy on their royalties.

where is the Like button hehehe :-)

Look you cock lover, you want to meet at a show to fight??? HUH big boy, YOU DON'T want any of me! I am the biggest keyboard warrior and will smash your freaking face in! Then I will straddle your face while I piss in your mouth!!!!!!!!!!! hows that for fake drama lmao!! Good post Far-L always liked your post brother!

Enjoy your night bud! :thumbsup :helpme *runs and hides*

YES, I was going to post about # 10 nice hustle:pimp

better yet are the posts ragging someone about spelling or grammar that have words spelled wrong in them or improper grammar in them. :thumbsup

Yeah... I am kind of sly that way.

So I guess we better add this one:

18. People that spam incessantly, in their threads, on other people's threads, whether it is relevant or not which it is usually not but act like OJ Simpson about it... and everyone acting like OJ fans that would never ever in a million years believe he could do anything wrong because he was a sports legend formerly of a successful program of which he is not and has not been a part of for some time.

People who feel it necessary to post their complete agreement with something as if their endorsement or opinion actually means anything to anybody. (yes, like I am doing right now to save somebody pointing that out)

None of us is innocent but all of us are not guilty either... :winkwink:

18. Ghetto fabulous trailer park trash threads raving about buying flashy cars and or ridiculous firearms with tricky parts like penis compensators that end up only showing off dramatically, and with photographic evidence details of exactly how shabby operations actually are - then provide circumstantially ample evidence eventually about why affiliates are not getting paid... because somebody is still more concerned about playing with toys than actually running a successful business.

13. SleazyDream

Pretty tough to shoot decent porn on a budget that hardly allows the shooter to make decent money. Plus a few other things. Glad you agree with me on this.

Welcome to the world of online porn. Where all you need is the ability to type on a keyboard. Programming is a plus. :winkwink:

People sitting at home all day punching into a keyboard. This for them is their social life.

Things are different these days, as you point out. Now you seem to be supporting the changes.

Yes and people used to make 10s of millions or even 100s of millions. Tubes never killed or even harmed porn. They increased porn consumption to a level never before seen. Just hurt the selling of porn.

As the business is spiralling down, what do you put the decline down to. Crap porn, crap selling, Tubes? I've been making thses posts since 2000.

10. People bitching about XYZ generic fly by night proggie of the moment going out of business (again) and needing to pull links (again) when they could have been promoting Homegrown Video or some other steady professional, reputable prog instead. And guess what... just because the prog is CCbill doesn't mean a damn thing because those sites go out of biz too in case you weren't paying attention.

Hang on are you saying programs going out of business is a problem?

Welcome to the changing world of porn. :1orglaugh

19. People who read the name of the poster first then condem or support what he says without thinking.

Like Far-L. First he complains, then he says it's fine, then he complains. seems he can't make up his mind.

Are you kidding me? I am like everyone else here except that I am willing to admit openly that I dance a hippie tribal love gig every time one of my competitors falls to pieces. If it is due to consumption of too much drugs and alcohol then I add a couple of plié.

Thanks for throwing down and rolling with it... a man that can't laugh at himself ends up only laughing at others until no one is laughing at all.

How is my mind not made up? Starting this thread was the result of making up my mind that I would get this stuff off my chest for once and for all. Saying you love to hate something might be too complex an intellectual exercise for you at this point but I encourage you to take part in this thread because you need to keep alert - it will help delay as long as possible the sweet pale green and purple fading light of twilight as it passes into the black sea of night and all your genius of how to make it in porn is lost like a rain of thought on the ocean of knowledge.

50 great points (see what I did there?) :1orglaugh :helpme

Sent you an email, Farrell. :)

Not seeing it... did you use the timlake at homegrownvideo d com addy?
