State of the boards

[JimB]

Thanks to everyone that praised GGandJ
As for the sig file limitation...that is automatic. We had to pick a number and 80 characters seemed reasonable without asking for anything in return.

We built the board for Business and it seems that most people agree that we do have a lot of business on the boards. And, I do like the different forums. It does make it a lot easier for those that don't want to see a picture of someone's cat or fake girlfriend And, we do allow spam. It just has to go in the right place. Hell, we will even post any newsletter (sponsor or not) in our news section. But, if someone posts a question about looking for a sponsor that has something they want, we don't like to see referral codes. If the person has nothing to gain except to help someone, the answers seem to ring much truer. I really make no apologies for our anti spam position. It isn't fair to our sponsors that pay for the ability to sell their product or service.

As for myself, I used to look at GFY and JBM daily, but thank god I got away from both. I see no information I can use on GFY and damn...if I see Brad post one more post tooting his own horn, I think I would shoot myself in the head.

Oprano, I look at daily and both GGandJ and Oprano are very friendly with each other. At least we were with Nick and i know we will be with Gonzo

I really don't read any other boards. I guess right now I just read Oprano and of course, GGandJ. Oh yeah, I still look at Sponsorchat from time to time when I need a good laugh

Theres a few of us to be friendly with!
Seriously, I have been mostly hanging out at GG&J's for the past several months. I think RawAlex got me on the 12 steps to cure me from pissing!

Green Guy has sent me a LOT of traffic over the years besides the fact that I think Mark is a great guy!

I remember surfing Victoriaandjames from my early days at MCI when most people were bragging about having a home page.

I hang out at several different boards for different reasons... and some just not at all.

Serge said it best a couple of years ago..."No board is an island"...
and I think Lens is finding that out as we speak!

I have been and will continue to be for the most part "Oprano exclusive".

I occasionally will make a post at gfy or at the pond and do read GG&J some but I am more or less a one board poster.

I will however, be refraining from posting news links etc. Prior to "the blowup" posting had gotten pretty forced, mods bumping mods, making up stuff, finding stuff just to keep things going. I apologize for that as I was a main participant in the whole thing.

xray, TheButcher is a thief and a lier. He has been shown to use phony user names and numbers. He also has not paid many people for posts and his contests have been won by made up usernames. Besides the lying and thieving, he is a wonderful person.

People like you that believe him is what I laugh about.

Wow that bit about spam is an excellent point, one I (as a "board whore" if you will) hadn't ever really considered, I like having people put a different spin on things, thanks!

And Hooray for both GG&J and Oprano both, I haven't heard of Sponsorchat before...
