The GFY fallout

I think it matters a lot. It is the industry's largest board, after all. The advertisers get the most views from there.

GFY isn't going anywhere until the powers that be deactivate the board. Sure, GFY refugees started showing up in large numbers at other boards, but many people will still read GFY even if they vowed to never post there again. What people say and what people do, are often two very different things.

Some opportunists took the ball and ran with it. Whether their ideas have staying power or not, is yet to be seen.

Love or hate the place, it's still a board that people will use to grab someones attention, spam, make announcements, get sigs scene, find info on companies and individuals, and throw their 2 cents in on controversial topics simply because it works.

Old habits die hard.

Been thinking alot of that comment - the idea that a great deal of surfers and non-industry people use that board doesn't necessarily mean we all do.

A great many who are in the industry refuse to use that board preferring instead others since it is more predominately industry related
