You can already disable those in your control panel.

Yeah, really! If it ain't broke don't fix it!

You will be lucky if some of the people that left due to the absurd business decision of selling a skin to thieves ever return. Now you are scaring off everyone who stuck around!

Change the board now, and you can stick a fork in it, as it will be done!

One dumbass business decision after the other....

:thumbsup:thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup

GFY is one of the slowest boards out there...

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thum bsup:thumbsup

Separate "Fucking Around" and "Program Discussion" into two subforums..

More banners and adspace.... and tube skins.... lots of those... people love em.

Thumbs up/thumbs down system

iTraders

This forum moves really fast and it's hard to identify people who you can trust.

You don't want to fuck with a formula that obviously works pretty well already. Other than maybe some verification of new nicks, and removal of fake nicks that are out there just to damage others without any risk to themselves. Accountability is the only thing I would say to add other than increasing forum speed / server speed. :2 cents:

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Fitty whats ifffs

Fitty.............Bastard ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :Graucho

Keep it the way it is.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I would keep most of the forum but I'll make the site Web 2.0 with aspects of facebook and rep system and actually facilitate deals/payments using software. This can explode as a social market/service/e-product auction site. High interactivity, high trust, no fake nicks

u want mods who can identify multiple nicks

Remove every single ban, and then let nature take its course.

Make me a mod ... thats the only thing I would change

As an epileptic I have to agree on this one.

someday somebody's going to have a seizure from that banner and sue.

sometimes i'm not paying attention and i get light headed and then i realize, it's that fucking banner that triggers the light headedness when u stare at it.

I wouldn't change anything. People will still complain, no matter what and you can't make everyone happy.

Free pies for everyone!

Ban sigwhores, ban people who bumps their own threads 24/7 ..see sig nig.
Ban thread hijackers, remove contests as the only people in them is a outsourced company with spam bots posting.

Itrader sounds cool, but dont turn this into DP, ( people selling shit for $0,40 just to get a positive Itrader.

If someone gets a meltdown, then have them perm banned and not welcome back in 2 days.

Also, if someone like Maxwell or Katharos spam frontpage with 10 useless threads..ban them.

Ban all the non paying programs, ban all rogue designers taking the blame for program fucking up.

Ban all content thieves..

In all..dont be a soft cunt.

Why stop there?

The easiest way to grow this board is to permanently BAN EVERYONE!

Then you can have a nice clean professional business board (template).

Free advertising baaybee!

With gifs. :)

(Cause I read all the PR threads today and deserve it)

Stop allowing people to shit/give their negative opinions in other's Sell threads. That's banable on most domain forums when people do that.

damn would that ever be boring. board would die in a week.

Vambooooozled! :pimp

gfy is gfy. it is a cesspool as it should be. you want biz or help there are other boards.

It certainly is an issue for epileptic people...

I always thought the flashing strobes that ambulances have is a little ironic...

My step father(fully epileptic)_was in town driving one day and rolled up on an accident that an ambulance had been dispatched to. Well they didnt even need to be there for that accident, but since they were fully flashing it sprung my step father into a full on grand maul seizure...

Luckily the paramedics were there to witness the whole thing and attend to him rtight away.

Fucke dup thing was he was in a 4 way intersection at a stop light when it triggered. He ended up tensing up and falling over, gripping the steering wheel and the stomping the pedal in first gear. The story I got was he did 2 doughnuts in the middle of the intersection(while his light was red) then straightened out and hit a parked car that spun around and hit another car that a lady was getting out of. Luckily she wasnt hurt, bumped her elbow is all. After hitting those cars he banked across the street and mounted a parked full size truck. Tuna canned the whole front end.

Ironically, not a scratch on his truck. Ended up having to replace a Ubolt from mounting the other truck.






Flashing Banners are BAD!

Affilliates need a place to fuck off.

..Don't under estimate the value of fucking off. I enjoy some of the wack jobs (like me)

Remember, pure affils and pure paysite ops are often two different cats. One more uptight (understandably, they have more on the line) and the other bored of the same old same old and needs to fuck off (or be socialable).

All biz would be a big yawner.

I like the idea of the like or disliike thread function.

Keep GFY as great as it is

i agree on a domain forum where the playing field needs to be more level, but here it works to the seller's advantage when a healthy debate ensues.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

if you put any of these ideas in practice gfy would be like the other boards - the same six regulars posting one or two posts or threads a day. bleh ...

the only things you should fix are the speed and time out issues.

That sounds like a good idea.

Last time I read who owns gfy I believe it was Playboy who owns it.

restrict it to Canadians only

Pretty much.

I'd try and keep GFY exactly the same as it is now. Anything more or less would change the vibe. As you know, there are dozens of webmaster boards, but this one is the biggest and most popular. IMO, the reason for that is simple. Posters are allowed to say anything they want, aside from hate, illegal material, and blatant spam. The reason why I don't post on other boards is because moderators always go overboard with their rules and moderating. All the other webmaster boards are censored, heavily biased, and generally no fun.
