Do we have to have this peculiar title ?

Not everything's "digital" nor "smutty" in the Forum is it?

It's a generic term, and with the little explanation beneath it, I think it works.

First off I just want to say that I applaud the moderators and webmasters of this baord for the attempt to make new categories etc. however, Victor has a point.
Having two categories that have similar themes doesn't make much sense.
For example, in the "smut" category you have "general adult dvd" and in the "lighter side" you have "general erotica", what's up with that? It's the same thing isn't it?
Also, placing "classics" along with "couples" makes no sense as not all classics are geared towards couples.
And putting the "porn newcomer questions" in with the "lighter side" doesn't make much sense if they want to know about gonzo type action.
It just seems like now I have to go to two separate forum pages for the same thing, where is before I only have to go to one.
If you really want to change things up make these totally separate categories:

classic
couples
gonzo
interracial

Pretty much covers it all.
Thanks for listening.

Is interracial not also gonzo? Are there not also couples movies that are classics?

These are meant to be rhetorical questions. I'm not looking for an answer.

M.B.

Your points are well taken, but I don't think the point was to categorize at all. In fact, I vehemently disagree with doing too much categorization. It can take away alot of the intelligent conversation about porn in general. The point was to provide a sort of... sub-forum where people who are too intimidated to join in the conversations of the main forum can go. Hardcore porn vids will still be discussed there. Gonzo porn will still be discussed there. It's just that the emphasis will be a bit different.

Admittedly it's a delicate balance, but I think even if we make a few mistakes in moderation, that the decision was a good one.

And there are people who are intimidated by the main forum. I know, I get e-mails from them, people who have read reviews of mine and have questions that they want answered along similar lines. I'm sure other reviewers have received similar e-mails as well. Hopefully this will give them a chance to become an active part of the community here.

Please see this thread, where there has been quite a bit of discussion on what to call the forums, as well as the rationale behind creating new forums.

I don't think the descriptions are very good and I am always open to suggestions. We just wanted to get the ball rolling. Like MLyons said it is a delicate balance. But joining in porn discussion can be very intimidating. Hopefully, The Lighter Side will make that a bit easier for newcomers - as well as encourage more discussion of "couples" (there has to be a better label) movies.

Dear All,

Having just switched on, I was very pleased to see the new title for this Forum.

Kind regards and thank you.

Please forgive me but I am so fucking drunk on vodka right now it's incredible, but the titles are fine. I mean separating "raincoat" and "mainstream" into separate forums keeps the scum riff-raff that usually thrive on hardcore from eventually attack those who want normal erotic movies.

If I were to make a suggestion, is there a way to have stick threads for this forum like "monster facial alert" and "gapes to look our for" or "double anal" for those who base their rentals on such specific acts? Maybe a forum or thread for each individual component of raincoater type hardcore, i.e. each persons ton ten facials of all time, top ten swallows of all time, top ten gape movies of all time, etc...

Phil,

Have a good nights sleep and a good cuppa coffee in the morning. Then perhaps the riff raff can just be others that are looking for a different genre of porn than you are.

Please.
