Congradulations to the Winners

[RawAlex]

While I would hate to cry "mutiny", I think it is time for everyone to put the pressure on GFY - time for a pullout, leave the board to the surfers.

Watch their alexa ratings for next month, wont impact them at all I bet.

Once upon a time when the boards were dominated by people who were here to make money and do business as opposed to the beer money crowd, a move like that would've found a board all but left for dead.

If there were justice, people would pack up and leave, sponsors would cancel their ads, etc. And I'm not saying they should all come here, but go anywhere other than GFY.

As is, Playboy just basically spat in all of their faces, and they're all so addicted to sitting around over there and refreshing that board every 10 minutes that they cant envision leaving. Pop a xanax, smoke a joint, and life goes on....

I get more disgusted every day.

Prompts me to post about this new policy on Oprano....

Effective immediately there is a ban on any sigs or links or announcements for adult.com, playboy.com, realitycash.com and GFY.

I dont promote content theft and this board will not be used to do so as well.

It is what it is. I think it wont impact G F Y at all traffic or income wise. But it was an education for some that may be newer to the business

Im not deluded enough to think it will have any impact at all.

As I sit and reflect though the real news isnt this so much as who owns pornhub and 8tube . . .

Zimm and staff certainly arent standing still these days!

They hypocracy is rising.
Tony tells me they banned Steve Lightspeed... I guess it was the flexing of the street cred.
Ive seen people trying to get back in the biz there looking to be thrown a bone and the battle lines being drawn.

Raffi from World Wide Content being in those threads I think is the most amusing thing I saw. Its obvious he was able to cut a few licensing deals.
Of course history tell us that hes not beyond trying to take a site he doesnt own and selling it off to Platinum Bucks.

Victoria Givens says hi Raffi!

Actually Steve Lightspeed got booted for the same reason most of us do, actually linking to another webmaster board. It brings the hypocrisy into a fine light, it is acceptable to take money from a company that had made it's bones "borrowing" content from everyone else, but it is somehow wrong to admit there are other webmaster boards?

Someone in a better position than I needs to get AVN and Xbiz to run "Playboy supports content theft" pieces, get the word out there. Perhaps even the mainstream media might pick up on it (bad for playboy stock?)

Ive blogged here about it. Ive also started to tip off some of my media contacts as well. Well see how slow news is these days.

What's that? Where?
Never heard of such a thing.
