Looks like the cardinal rule of do not mix surfers and webmasters is no longer a possibility

I mean we all knew GFY was more about fucking around than any serious kind of business anyway, and that way to many fakers and surfers are there to distill through.

But what now, ??? you can bet after a spot on CNN, and an article in the New york post, mentioning GFY that surfers and kids from everywhere ( you still only need to be 13 to register there right?) are going to be all over that board.

How can anyone expect to even be able to wade through the normal rate of 5% of useful info there now?

The odds of actually getting a business thread now have got to be completely shot

Let alone the fact that any potential advertiser will now be advertising to an even more surfer oriented base?

does smart money advertise only join pages now? and skip looking for potential webmasters ? or will that prove to be useless too?

What are your thoughts on how this will affect our industry ? do you foresee a backlash of board intrusion now?

as anyone serious about business ( or even pretending to be) will certainly be looking for a way to filter the kids better ?

What about government ? do you see them getting involved once more Kids are discovered on industry chatboards?

It will have an affect... it IS HAVING an effect...

The wonderful thing about this board, is that there are NOT 17 threads about that lady and her damned hand-held being hacked! LOL

It certainly isnt going to pretty .. thanks to KRL for pointing this one out ..

http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/40993.htm

It even mentions the board and I don't envy the paparazzi and others being fended off from there, as it won't be an easy task.

Paris did it on purpose to get back at the adult industry for distributing her sex tape online

The problem now isn't how to keep them out. Because they are coming in whether people want them or not. Look at Alexa for the last couple days on GFY. The problem is getting people to shut up about business and shit until it all dies down. There are alot of little secrets that surfers probably don't understand from the webmasters point of view that they are being enlightened to more than likely. Not to mention links to check out affiliate programs and help on how shit works and everything else.

May see a sharp influx of people wanting a piece of the pie very shortly.

I am a pessimist though so don't take my word for it.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I read that article this morning. Would have been fun watching the stats spin.

If you define a webmaster as "someone who earns $2000 a mth without having to sell his sig" there always were.

There is traffic on GFY, thus there is business to be obtained there.

The more traffic it has, the more potential business there is.

There is no such thing as worthless traffic, you just have to figure out how to use it.

Should be a strong week over there.

It would be good if GFY would charge $19.95 per month for a while to keep surfers out.
