Why would GFY want to be added to the board tracker/scanner sites? Its not like they need traffic.. I would prefer it not be added. The first time I got an email showing me how many post had been made on the keywords I had chosen - I would likely edit my settings not to include them. Not that I don't want to know whats going on - but because there is sooo much fluff happening that I just can't process that much information.
GFY is what it is.. buying ad space on GFY is the equivalent to buying a big blinking billboard in Times Square. It may or may not bring you business but a hell of a lot of people know you exist just because they see you 5 billion times per day. Same goes with sigs.. the more people post the more often the sig is displayed the more likely people will atleast have some vague recollection of your company's name.
I swing by GFY on my daily rounds like I do the other boards.. From time to time a topic will catch my interest and I'll monitor it for the rest of the day or untill the thread goes dormant. It moves more like a chat room than a board so I think of it differently. When I'm looking for a real conversation with post that are longer than one line I come to places like this.
Lensman is fortunate to have GFY under his roof. Anyone who says they wouldn't like to have GFY as their own would not be telling the whole truth. I'm sure he doesn't keep much track of whats going on .. but then who the hell could or would want to? To much happening all at the same time. I would be tickled to have a monster like GFY and all I had to do was cash the checks... reminds me of YNOT or Netpond once upon a time... though not on the same scale.
What is said or done on that board doesn't make any difference.. if you make an ass of yourself on a smaller board people may remember. If you do it on GFY nobody will remember... just to much happening.. and everythings tongue in cheek. I don't understand why so many people make a fuss over GFY.. it is what it is.
