Dead forum: what is needed here to liven things up?

[netzerkaiser]

I've never seen forum so lifeless before, I'm sad to say...

[Ultra-Gape]

The principle thing that interests me is people highlighting good content they've enjoyed, ideally with gifs to make their case .

What would you like to see more of @netzerkaiser? Maybe lead by example...

PornBoxBot pretty much kills the Models forum every 24 hours and if you look at porn forums generally model sub-forums are usually the lifeblood.
PornBoxBot is just like a massive "fuck you" to every forum user.

Dead forum: what is needed here to liven things up?

I've never seen forum so lifeless before, I'm sad to say...

In my opinion, we need more open discussions, talking about personal interests and experiences in private life, etc...

[magizi87]

The "straight" content is too gay for my taste,

the models are not quite "porn material"...

they scare off all the beautiful women
with lame camera work, that makes them look bad,
pissing and prolapse, that every normal person goes "YIKES"

and to make matters worse,
XXX lets anyone with a phone, call themselves a "studio"
to record and release whatever shit show they please.

...there is NOTHING to gif, is what I'm trying to say.

[Jack_Jackal43]

How about we start by fixing the fucking site? Move all the amateur and gay/trans shit to a new sub site and keep analvids strictly for straight content only. Hire a variety of girls, not just skinny tattooed meth head looking broads. More Asian, Arab, African, etc. Even more diversity with the white girls. Cut out the solo masturbation scenes. Hire new scouts that know where to find beautiful girls willing to do the job (they’re out there). Bring back the different series like Manhandle, Baisined, Master of Puppets, etc so viewers know what to expect when they purchase that scene. For example, I don’t want to see some stupid SJW complaining about face slapping when they buy a Manhandle scene, just as I don’t want someone complaining why no face slapping when they buy a soft scene. Rant over. Just a few tips.

Would be good to have like and dislikes on posts. Also more active moderators who comment.

It is also a massive fuck you to the top stars. I barely even go to the forum anymore, I'm not digging 5-6 pages deep, just to go back a day.

When people lose interest in a product, they also lose the need to talk about it.

Yes, the Models forum is a disaster. There's too much garbage to wade through and too many here today gone tomorrow "models"to process. In the old days it felt like you knew every model on the site, now it's just page after page of anonymous names which disappear as soon as they show up.

1. A simple reaction function would reduce the amount of posts.
Also highlight great feedback and increase the attention.
Studios and directors could follow easily the most popular conversations and see the best feedback, maybe change things which are not perfect. I doubt they do that now (maybe some like Giorgio) and I understand that because the forum isn't easy to use.

2. If we could use thumbnails for GIF and IMG the pages would be shorter and more performant.

3. A Comment function would structure answers and comments to specific posts better and reduce space

4. With (3.) a delete of spam/forbidden posts would also remove all the comments, so everything.

All this things are already given in social media and other forums. So why are we still interacting like in the 90s?

For me that would make the forum worse. Gifs in particular are the best parts for me and I'd find it annoying to have to keep opening them as attachments.

I agree with you and others that simple reactions functionality would significantly add to the forum, although I'd like them all to be positive rather than having dislikes/downvotes etc as they never have a positive impact in my experience.

[netzerkaiser]

Personally I'd love to see more threads focused on porn era's, be it models, say Czech era 2001-2003, or focused on historic studios, like Sineplex or NRFTA, or GG..

Thats just the train spotter in me I guess.

I started such a lot of them but one week later, despite receiving general good will from members, they died a quiet death.

[netzerkaiser]

We're livening up!

[bake0213]

The forum isn't dead, but other members have already hit on the problem - you have 5 or 6 pages of fly by night models that muddle things up. It used to be easier to look at the stars and potential stars in hardcore scenes easily. It's a clusterfuck now and will continue to be a huge disincentive to post unless that changes.

Yes needs to stop.
They need a new sub forum with new daily content.

My first visit to the forum in months. Which says something.
It’s all been said:
- pornbox is a mess and clearly xxx has no interest in changing it.
- so little beauty to be found anywhere. It’s all gross out hideousness and ridiculous prices
- I always used the active topics button to find interesting posts but that’s been ruined by the spam bot

I’ve shifted almost entirely to JAV porn lately.
Beautiful, feminine women, nasty scenarios, so much cum and genuine excitement from the performers. Much like GGG which used to be here…
I’d rather watch the gorgeous lines of a sexy woman being reamed vigorously, even if pixelated, than a crystal clear close up of some ugly munters arsehole being rammed with a dildo the size of a traffic cone

[dap-addict]

I was away 10 days and to be honest I didnt miss that forum much.
One important reason is that there is so little discussions and so many kind of fake posts with ppl repeating the same or similar again and again for every girl.

Sure as already mentioned the 100+ models every night fueled into model threads is another big problem.

I've also more individual reasons like maybe getting too close to some actresses and biz in general, taking different POVs and getting way lost in there between performers, producers and fans interest. I'm just not only the porn fan I was for so many years anymore - and some of that fresh awe is gone!

What is JAV porn?

[Ultra-Gape]

What is JAV porn?

Japanese porn, hence the reference to pixelation. JAV = Japanese Adult Video.

Thanks. Wish there were 5 more like you here.

[Sweep11]

Sorry, I thought most hardened porn fans would know that acronym

The pixelation thing is so weird. Like, we can see almost everything.
We all know what’s happening - some truly raucous, filthy fucking and cum guzzling.
And it’s ok to see the girls drenched in the cum.
But that small amount of digital modesty is applied post production to pussies and cocks (but not assholes?!)…for what & who?
Japanese legislators are strange!
There’s quite a lot of material out there that has had the pixelation removed afterwards, albeit imperfectly.
It’s kind of semi erotic in itself to know I’m seeing what I’m not supposed to be able to see.
I marvel at the things that can become sexually exciting sometimes.

[Paizal]

I think JAV Porn has the hottest box covers but the most awful sex.

Basically, there are only two themes in the scenes - incest or violence. Either you have sex with your aunt or sister, or you use psychological violence against the women. Which basically also reflects the disturbed Japanese relationship to sex.

On the other hand, just about everything is fake. Fake cum, fake sex, fake everything.

And last but not least - there is hardly anything more unerotic than a woman sucking a 2 inch cock.

[Ultra-Gape]

Other than the pixelation, the main thing that puts me off most Japanese porn is the constant squealing from the girls.

Did you try the Latin American studios and Latina imports?
For me its what pretty much saves AVLP in 2022.
I skip maybe 10% of Latina offers only, with US offers its close to 50%.
In Europe only Spain, Italy and France still deliver new talent, but too slowly and also 50% score in my book only. Czech talent pool is almost dead. For slavic girl lovers its a bad year indeed!
But I always felt there was a lack of exotic girls and here Colombia, Venezuela and Brasil have something to offer!

The thing is, this forum's code is dated; it won't be able to present modern features like the ones described. Starting a new one is the only way to improve the experience, although if not "compatible", all user data will be lost.

Whatever happens with the forum, may I suggest.....

-Less bullshit "I just had a wank and wanted to share this uninteresting thing" kind of topics.

-Way less "I believe I'm a porn-savvy writer, therefore will share this 3-page long idea for a script."

-Limited "Oh, I fell in love with a pornstar" stuff.

-BANNED misognistic stuff.

-More scene recommendations, whether from the AV ecosystem or not.

-More Image, video, links sharing features

(and this one's for the admins)

IF YOU COULD HAVE A FEW GIRLS CONSISTENTLY WRITING A POST EVERY NOW OR THEN, YOU'LL HAVE WAY MORE TRAFFIC IN THE FORUM

LP | AV doesn't approve of discussing other sites in a positive way, whom they regard as competition. We have to respect that.

-Less bullshit "I just had a wank and wanted to share this uninteresting thing" kind of topics.

-Way less "I believe I'm a porn-savvy writer, therefore will share this 3-page long idea for a script."

-Limited "Oh, I fell in love with a pornstar" stuff.

All this is exactly whats needed to liven things up, in my opinion. Without this forum would be dead, because not remotely enough people want to discuss anything from the LP | AV catalogue thats older than 12 weeks, let alone 12 years.

[MackZatis]

If you just want to share pics/clips/tubes or whatever go to reddit. all the bullshit and no convo. Spam away....

Actually you're all wrong, although you're right about the code being WAY WAY dated.... Go to the website of who the forum is "powered" by, and you'll see that they are still actively developing it and it has TONS of features. The reason that nothing will ever happen regarding an upgrade is because that means there HAS to be support staff. They/XXX would never go for that. Just a bare bones functioning stable release that doesn't go "down", also doesn't do ANYTHING really....

[Ultra-Gape]

I don't think anyone suggested they wanted this?

Using pictures and ideally gifs produced using the actually very handy gifmaker here when discussing/highlighting scenes bought specifically via Pornbox is rather different.
