I thought I would start this 'as a thing' and hopefully it can become a regular feature thread ongoing, posted in the first week of every new month (even if it isn't by me, I'm often busy and away from the site for months at a time, someone will want to do it).
Basically the forum has become kind of unusable in recent times. Or that is how I feel about it coming back to it after a study break.
The problem is that three pages and more of new releases every night (PornBoxBot) followed by half a page of actual contributions and feedback from forum members, means that any comment a member made on Monday (we are now - small hours - barely even Thursday) is now 10 pages of 40 posts back. So 400 posts away.
Extend that to a week, and if you want to find out what someone said a week ago, then you are going to have to scroll back through about 1000 posts to find it. Are you going to bother, or is that comment now effectively lost forever?
I am not at all unwilling to engage with forum members views and feedback (far from it, some members views and prefences for models I really appreciate). But quite frankly, I neither have the time or patience to sift through 'all that stuff' (the majority of it noise that no one ever engages with, to be blunt) on the offchance I may come across something interesting someone said a couple of days ago (eg above, if you said it on Monday 400 posts away).
Another issue that this deluge brings, is that the possibility of finding an exciting new model (who may become a favourite resulting in you buying every new release) via the forum has subsequently become next to impossible.
Yes, you can use your Pornbox account to basically block everything and then progessively 'opt in' to content you want to see bit by bit, but first you have to know what you want before you can opt in (and with a new performers, you don't). The rub.
But on the forum (the 'interactive/feedback' bit, with interaction being the only reason for anyone to want to sign up to the forum and engage) that is close to impossible now. If the idea is to kill off the forum and the interactive/feedback part of the site by drowing out the potential for joined-up conversations with endless new release 'noise', I suspect it is working.
For that reason, to help forum members that don't have the patience to sort through two or three pages of camgirls every night in the hope of finding a new favourite model, I thought a 'Best New Model Of The Month' feature would be useful.
Rules (no I am not going to police it, I trust members to police themselves) are very simple.
1. The model must have released her first scene on the site within in the preceeding month.
2. Post an image or small size gif (gifs 5mb approx or under, or a whole page will take ages to load for those without superfast connections or those watching data allowances), a link to the model's thread in the forum, and a link to her debut scene.
3. And... that's it.
So every first week of the month someone posts this titled thread to cover the period of the previous month.
I think it will become useful 'new thing' ongoing for members which also has a value to Pornbox itself, because it will enable members to discover and buy the scenes of new models they may have missed because they don't have time or patience to dig through the PornBoxBot forum mountain to find their new 'porn love' gems.
And finally thanks to all those who make the effort to contribute to this thread in advance.
