I have a couple of ideas to improve things in the future.

We're considering adding a new "Thank You" button with each post that would let people say thanks without bumping threads or the need to type a message. In my mind this would be an easy way to recognize good posts, without running the risk of being abused like the thread rating system has been in the past.

We're also considering adding a rewards system, that would offer perks/upgrades to members who contribute to the forums. This would not be based solely on post counts, rather we would base it on more on people's attachment statistics so it would better reflect what that member has contributed to the forums here.

In the past, we've always tried to treat "Lurkers" gently. Perhaps there will come a day that we say enough is enough and make things more exclusive here. We can't force people to post, but we could choose to place limits on how much free porn the "Lurkers" can download.

The way I see things, there are two ways different people can support our community.
  1. Contribute your best photos & videos and encourage other people who are posting here by replying to threads you particulary enjoy.

    -- OR --

  2. Get a One Click Pass and be a "lurker" with a clean conscience.

Thanks,

Alex,

I couldn't agree more with the last two sentences and I apreciate the fact that you see where I, and others, am coming from. I guess limits on lurkers wouldn't be such a bad thing, but in all honesty I hope it never comes to that, as much as they do piss me off sometimes.

Now, I do like the idea of the perk system. I rememeber when I was given an OCC pass a few years back and I thought that was the neatest shit I had ever been a part of on the net. It was just really cool to have OCC hook up the senior members with that privelege. Whether it was out of thanks or to give exposure it was still cool.

And I'm very glad that you and 99% of the others who have replied here understand that I'm not whining or crying for attention with this thread. All of you, except for Dro, know what the hell I'm talking about and I appreciate you telling me so.

Thanks,

Everlong
