‘YOU DID THIS’
GFY community picks its winners at annual awards show
FEATURE | By AVN Staff
was a fitting crescendo for a show that took
The last big event of the 2018 Internext Expo
place at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las
Vegas. At the annual GFY Awards, the band
Dollface kept the crowd’s ears entertained with rock
& roll and their eyes with the sensual gyrations of
two dancers.
In between the band’s three sets, Eric Matis of
GFY.com revealed the winners, voted on by members
of GFY.com. “You did this, motherfuckers,” he
reminded the crowd, in typical GFY parlance. With
a running commentary that fits the tone of the
venerable webmaster forum, Matis urged them to
“make some noise” and take advantage of the free
drinks, courtesy of Pussycash.
Among the many to make noise was Brad Mitchell
from MojoHost, who accepted the first award of the
night and got the crowd chanting his company name.
Red carpet sponsor Studio 20 embraced the GFY
spirit with their acceptance speech: “We promise to
succeed together and you can go fuck yourself!”
Highlights of the evening included multiple wins
for Chaturbate, with MohawkSteve accepting in
Shirley Lara’s absence—including one trophy for
himself as Best Company Rep. And as usual, Andy
Wullmer of SexGoesMobile made the most noise of
all, especially when he came up to snag his circular
trophy for Businessman of the Year. And he kept his
energy up the whole night, even grabbing the mic
once during Dollface’s final set.
Kenny B of YourPaysitePartner was up on stage
multiple times—once to pick up a trophy for Best
Content Partnership for his own company, and
also to accept Best New Paysite for Swallowed.
com. Launched by director Mike Adriano with
YourPaysitePartner, the site was the end result
of a post on GFY, Kenny explained. And the
webmaster also accepted Best Affiliate Program for
PornstarPlatinum when JC Baumgartner, Pornstar
Platinum’s president, didn’t hear his name called—
and was nonplussed when he found out about the win
shortly after.
