I just have to say this

everlong057 · #1 12-06-2007, 10:53 AM

and get this off my chest. I hope this is not considered too rough or mean by OCC standards, if it is then please pull it and accept my apologies. It will feel good just to put it into type.

In the 3 plus years I have been here I have NEVER and I repeat NEVER complained about people replying to threads. Mostly because I understand that many people are too "focused" on the pics to drop everything and write something. However, i just posted 3 freaking pages of some pretty damn good pictures if I do say so myself. In fact, Fango, who usually will picks one to three pictures to comment on chose about 10 to say something about this time, so I know the girls were hot.

Now, my thread has been viewed already over 1,500 times in less than two days and two people, one of which is Fango, have replied to that thread. And I'd like to say to the rest of you lurkers who have looked at it, you are so freaking welcome. Do you realize how much time it takes to search for and save that many pics, not to mention posting them? Well, for those of you who have never posted a thing in your life, it takes a good damn while.

So, anyway, I hope you enjoyed my work becuase I'm not posting shit for a good while now. You can all kiss my ass and find your own pics.

And like I said, it's not that I want 30 people replying to my threads, or threads of the other posters here, but it sure would be nice to see a new name pop up once in a while so we know these lurkers actaully appreciate this place, because those of us who post here love it.

Anyway, like I said, if that's too harsh, my apologies.

Everlong

Im pretty much guilty of not posting, i have a few threads i follow and post comments on. I post pics in a diffrent forum were i have some threads. It seems to me you need to buy the pass to get vids and the really good stuff. I can appreciate how long it takes to post all of the pics in the thread your talking about. Lurkers dont care if you quit posting they will just rely on the other posters on the forum. Thanks for all of your efforts on the forum.

Well, my friend. For one I've had the pass which I got for free because of my involvement with OCC. And two, you may be right about lurkers not caring about me posting, but I happen to know for sure that no one at OCC posts mixes like I do. That's not bragging, it's just a fact. My mixes contain more pics, I'd like to think more originality, and certainly more amounts than do most others.

Now, those lurker may not care and that's fine, but if they don't care about my posts why does the number of views on my posts shoot up so quickly? I know what I do here is appreciated and good work, I've just finally had it with the losers who don't even have the courtesy to give props to any of us who work hard to keep this place going.

You say they won't care about me not posting but wiat until enough people say screw it. I hope that never happens but you get the idea. I'm just in one of those moods where I'm sick of working my ass off for a bunch of ungrateful little bastards.

Also, I just want to be clear that I am not just talking about my threads. I am speaking about anyone who posts here and the silent but horny people who have no appreciation for what people here do.

Sounds like you need a vacation. I probably shouldn't say anything but yes, I think you are being a little harsh. It's very disrespectful of you to call members who don't post comments on yours or other members threads "losers" or "ungrateful little bastards" or "horny people who have no appreciation". Leaving comments like this IMO is not going to get you or this site very far. You have no idea who is looking at and/or saving your pics. There might not be any lurkers looking at your thread. They could all be members that post their own stuff on a regular basis or have posted in the past and have noting left to post. Some might not even actually like your thread. There are over 120,000 members here and only some 1700 have viewed. That is a very small percent.

I don't expect or ask that anyone post a comment on my posts. All I can do is hope that members enjoy my posts and that it encourages others to post, which I know it has, so we can get the best stuff all at the best place, here at OCC.

I have a theory that if you expect something you will allways be disapointed in some way. On the other hand, if you don't expect anything and get something good you don't expect, it is bonus.

Speaking as a horny person who has great appreciation for your work Everlong, I must say that I can certainly feel your pain. I was shocked that I was the first person to comment on your latest mix, and that was several hours after you first posted it. I truly believe that you are one of the top 3 posters at this forum, and I really hope you reconsider your decision and keep posting your mixes.

Thanks, Fango, you obviously know exactly what I meant, unlike Dro. And I don't mean that as an insult to Dro. He is entitled to his opinion and I can even understand where he's coming from. Although I completely disagree with the statement that only people who post are the ones viewing other posts. But I don't want to turn this into an argument. I was really just blowing off some steam and I'm sure that I won't stop posting. I simply just wish that more people would show their appreciation to everyone who posts here because it's not like we do it just for the hell of it and I certainly don't do it for recognition. It really does take time and effort to do what we do and, speaking for myself, I do it because I love this place and the people who run it and post here and I want it to continue being the top amateur free forum.

Anyway, I've said my peace, and again, I'm glad you got where I was coming from, Fango.

yep mate i know where coming from

The thing is that probably some 95% of the lurkers here have absolutely no idea how much time and effort we put into finding new pics/vid until they give it a go themselves. Thankfully there are some that do, but most prob think 'pics and all' just fall on our laps.

everlong057,

I understand your point of view.

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.

Contribute your best photos & videos and encourage other people who are posting here by replying to threads you particulary enjoy.

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

Thanks,
