My videos, pictures and charming attitude lured all the people from all over the world to admire me.. They'll soon flow here. :nyanya:

right on the ball B)

serge, i'd be wary of all the people coming in from GFY.

i don't post a lot, but do read everyday, since I know the people who post here are about business, polite, and respectful (for the most part).

either way - the name of GFY itself suggests the attitude of that board.

i hope you can keep oprano the way it has been, when I saw many GFYers coming over, i was a little concerned.

GFY used to be a great place, now its loaded with sig posting whores and people with no credibility.

Biggy, lots of folks here share your concerns...and I promise to do our best toprevent that from happening.
we have a BRAINS niche, why lose it now?
;-)))

I think most of us who made the transition, at least the ones you named in the title, are smart and moderately successful, at least as webmasters.

I also think we came here because there is brains here, as you say.

It's funny that people think because someone posted on GFY, that they are what you folks call 'GFYers' - I was posting on AWI, and other boards LONG before GFY came around.

These labels are fun to wear.

Kinda like the Sneeches Stars :awinky:

Until I post and throw off the curve...

I'm the big-titted teen blonde pic that accidently gets published to a tranny site....

says the guy with 18 posts :D

And here I was with the impression that you were a loud mouth, uncultured git!!!!

You should show this other side more often - it will work better on oprano than telling us about how much you drank last night!

>>I've been hanging out with Fletch on and offline since 97, so I guess its not a big deal to me seeing his presence on what is just a message board.

These might be 'just messageboards' but in Oprano's case, we have more original (ynot days) webmasters than any other board - a group of people who have been doing business together for 5-7 years ... in that time i've met & done business with almost all of the people who post here & consider message boards, icq & conventions combined to be responsible for that.

There's always someone who wants to try to belittle the 'message board' ideal because what they've experienced is gfy and others such boards where signatures are for sale & people post for no other reason than to whore their products ... watching the evolution from 'hangout' to 'stand alone business' has been interesting for sure & can be applied to ANY online business ...

Message boards are an industry unto themselves - they sell advertising, build relationships ... job titles have even been spawned from the way the adult industry uses boards - i told a mainstream client the other day that they needed a 'boardwhore' ... when i explained what a boardwhore was he was impressed that our shady industry has such an organised marketing 'system' ...

Liking the people you do business with enough to want to chat to them on a daily basis is fucking lucky!!

Long live message boards!!!

So are you all saying you don't want us to annouce when a post hits...

Ahh that power is intoxicating!

Hahahaha

I hope Oprano can be the sober ying to GFYs raging yang

All dead, all dead, and alone I'm spared
My sweeter half instead, All dead, and gone, all dead

although a board personality may come off as strong, intelligent, inventive, a leader.. in some cases its very much the opposite.. Its for people that dont have the balls to deal with reality face to face.. its an escape in most cases...

I am nothing like I appear to be on the boards, its just an act for the most part except when it comes to business, that i do take seriously... I am a lover not a fighter, except when i get caught up in this dungeons and dragons theatre... I personally am not a social outcast, I enjoy life off the internet more and more each day.

If you think about it, it is so unhealthy to live out your fantasy on a msg board kind of like the matrix, a dream where you are who you picture yourself in a fantasy world..

9 times out of 10 the person behind the nick is so transparant, its sad.. I think we all embellish some part of our lives through this form of communication with others... human nature i suppose mixed in with modern technology...

this isnt directed at anyone in particular, just made me think a little bit...[/b][/quote]
WoW! Is the only word I can think of right now! :awinky:
