if porn was forbidden on tfp...
 

...would you still be interested in visiting tfp?

this is a serious question.
i am anxious to hear your replies.

Yep. I can find porn anywhere, but TFP seems to he a one-of-a-kind place when it comes to the discussions...

I remember when, but I don't have access to teh pr0n anyway, I don't particularly miss it either.

yup...
i might have started coming for the porn... but now i hardly use the tfp for that anymore...

The porn that gets posted here is some of the worst I've ever seen. Every once and awhile something good pops up, but usually its just the same old tired women and genres. *sigh*

Yeah sure.

The porn is a nice touch, though ;]

Wouldn't really bother me in the slightest...

I never actually looked at TFP as a porn thing anyhow...

well if id have axxess to the titty board id be grateful, but id still be visiting tfp if they didnt have porn. cause this si a great place to express your probs and the way you feel about stuff.

I came here initally for the titties, but I've only been back to the TB a handful of times since. So, yeah I'd still be here.

Would I have ever found this place if it weren't for the Titty Board? That's another question...

Sure, now that I've been here for a while and got into the community. But I must admit, if I were a newbie, I'm afraid the answer would be no. The porn is what brought me here in the first place.

My thoughts exactly. I LooooooooVEEE the discussions on TFP.

Oh, Hell yeah! The porn is just the gravy on the meatloaf. The "meal" would still be very tasty, and just as filling without it, but it adds a little extra flavor. ;)

Came for the porn, stayed for the pizza.

Seriously, it rocks here. I love it. It is almost the only web site I need anymore.

Ofcourse, the porn just get's boring after a while, the discussions are way more fun.

Absolutely. I first came here for the porn, like many others, but I hardly look at it anymore. I think that if the porn were gone, we would have less new members, but I think most people would stick around.

Like a lot of people I came here for the porn. Now, I am mostly involved in the discussions, I didn't even know about the lose of the TB due to the server move until I read the threads about it being "missing".
So the short answer is yes I would stay without the porn.

There's porn on TFP?

::runs off giggling like a kid::

Yes I would. I rarely look at the porn forums anyways. I spend time on TFP for the intelligent conversations and discussions. I can find porn anywhere...

i probably wouldn't notice if the porn disappeared... I'm here for the conversations :)

it took me a few weeks to even realise porn was here. and i hardly ever check it. i come for the company not the view

Same here. It even took a while for me to notice that the porn was gone when we were running off of flounder.

Exactly. Honestly, I wouldn't even be that pissed about it, it would weed out those who really care about this place from those who are just leechers etc. Long live TFP, with or without the pron!

People come for the porn... and stay for the community ;) I swear, I've been to lots of different forums, and NONE of them come HALF as close as accepting and mature as these boards. Obviously they aren't perfect, but the discussion forums are the best I personally have ever participated in. I think you can express your opinion on just about anything (except on the politics board) and not have anyone jump down your throat for being weird or "wrong", etc.

It seems to me like the porn is some kind of bait to get people here. Once they are they pretty much seem to stay.

Actually the sexuality boards are the reason I have stayed for so long.

I would stay if the porn left. I admit to joining because of the titty board, but it has been a while since i visited it last. I enjoy the conversation on the rest of the board a lot.

Yes.

Mr Mephisto

Remember the titty board was down for a while last year, and we all stayed. I agree alot of it is tired old stuff. I do look at it to see if there is something original. I do like that real amatuer stuff, you know where someone took pictures of his girlfriend, etc.

Definitely... I wander over to the Erogenous Zone every once in a while, but it's hardly why I come to the board.

I'd stick around.

IT went down for a while.. I don't think that i've been back to it since.. stayed on teh discussion boards!

Yep, I'd still be here.
Though I wander over there every once in a while, the other forums attract me way more!

TFP is about discussion of your interests. And while porn is a possible 'interest' there are many more, and TFP is a great community for each of them.

Re: if porn was forbidden on tfp...
 

Absolutely. :)

Visiting, probably. Hanging arond? That would depend on why the porn went missing. I mean, when the server was in transit and the porn was on hiatus for bandwidth purposes, that's one thing. If the porn were to go away because it "didn't fit in with the vision of community", I'd have to call a big, honkin' BS on that. Having the porn is like a filter that keeps the kind of folks who think that it's a bad thing largely away from the board. I do believe that is a large part of what makes this a good place to be.

Not my house, not my rules, so if it goes away, it goes away. Good people here, so if I felt the need to have a conniption over it, I would have to weigh that against those good people. Leaving over it would be a bit of cutting off my nose to spite my face. But it wouldn't be the porn itself, it would be the principle of the thing.

Absolutely.
I don't come here for the porn.
If I left, it wouldn't be because the porn wasn't here.

I originally came to the porn, but stopped looking at it after about a week and read everything else!

I believe in ancient irish axiom "If porn is your only reason for doing something, you are an ass."

I would definitely still be coming here. I'm not even interested in the porn. However, I do enjoy a lot of the nsfw posts. I like seeing things that I might not normally come across while randomly surfing the web.

Sure, there's lot's of interesting stuff here besides the porn. In fact, up until finally getting high-speed access last week I barely visited the porn forums anyway, so I wouldn't miss it too much. It is nice to have it there if needed though!

Yeah, I dont really like the porn. I went into the titty board about two times and I didnt see anything in there I wanted to look at. I like pictures of hott girls, but porno normally just seems too much and unsexy to me.

I didn't even know the board had porn until i was chatting one night and people kept linking to the titty board and i couldn't access it, so i didn't worry about it..

But really, i was just shocked by the level of intelligence displayed in a web forum, so i stuck around for the discussions and chat room. I think i've spent a few hours on the tittyboard, but otherwise, it's not a big deal

came for the porn but found out this place is pretty cool!

considering i joined and became an active member when the T Board was gone, i wasn't even aware that it here, so, no, i wouldn't leave the TFP if it was gone.

I originally came here for intelligent conversation, which I also stay for.

The Titty Board is just a bonus.

...as well as one-of-a-kind porn.

I came because a friend recommended it to me, and I've stuck around here for about 8 months now, Titty Board or not. I wish I would have known about TFP earlier than that, too.

while the porn here is the best of the best on the net... there are other places online to get it.

but, there ain't anywhere else online where you'd find such a wild, crazy bunch of people.

so, yes bernie, i'd stick around even if the tfp went sans porn.

I'll be honest - the Titty Board rocks a camel's ass. Not really sure if I would be around here if it weren't for that. Especially since I generally dislike internet discussian boards. But I try to help out, I donated in January (even though I don't have a tag yet) since I felt guilty about it. I'll donate some more if I need to :-)

I was here through the last porn drought and I will be here if it goes away. This place is about more than simple porn.

i don't come to tfp for porn,(mostly cause i don't have that option yet) i come for the auto section and humor section. potn is just a special plus that i'll be looking foward to.

yup...same here. i don't really like porn much anyways...with or without tfp

i started a thread in nonsense kinda on a whim, pretty much the same as this.
about 2 minutes later i decided it was really more of a general discussion topic.

so, i've just followed up on my nonsense thread & being the lazy soul that i am, i'm gonna just post my same reply right here cuz overall (w/an exception or 2), it applies here just as well.
.....

<i>awww hooray!

yknow, in the middle of my slumber last night i awoke to go tinkle (pee for the peeps who aren't familiar with the cutesy term for urinate) & i thought to myself, "yknow, that was a pretty dumb thread (actually 2) that you started, ms. bern... i mean the people who regularily post in nonsense & general are gonna post, but the people who hang &/or just lurk soley in the pornish forums will never see your post(s), let alone ever reply."

for the record, i didn't even know about the pornish forums on this board when i signed up. it's not like i'm a prude or offended by porn, it just really doesn't interest me much. a beautiful body displayed in an artistic fashion, i can appreciate that.

i'm just happy i did wind up here & am gradually getting to know you bunch of fun, creative, interesting wonderful people.</i>

I only use the titty board to calm down after reading posts in politics anyways ;)

i dont have access to any porn on tfp, yet im here. Its a cool site.. and i get all my questions that i have answered

Started with the TB, but I would and have stayed around in its absence. Plenty of places for porn, but nothing comes close to the sites community/discussions.

Well the titty board was the obvious attraction for most people, but I'd still come here. I don't go to the titty board EVERYtime I come here, I'd like to even think more times than not.

cool topic, should've made it a poll though.

When I joined the T Board was gone and to be honest it took me a couple of times visiting to realize there was a whole new section on the forum one day, in short the T Board should not be the main focus of TFP or incentive for joining the forum. The conversation and the different viewpoints of people that have lived entirely different lives and most often than not have entirely different viewpoints. After my rambling stay with TFP I don't check out the T Board everyday and the peopel and conversation are top notch.

Just think of how many non porn threads have porn and nudity in them. It practically makes most of nonsense great. :D

I don't recall how I found this place but I know it had nothing to do with porn. From what little I know about these forums I can't access most of it anyway, so obviously I'm here without it.

I visit another similar forum, but this one is much faster so I'm getting to prefer it here. I finally started posting recently after a couple of months of lurking.

Nah I'm here just for the porn. I never even go to the other forums.

Noticies he is in General Discussion------oh wait a minute. Nevermind

yeah, I would still be here. I quickly learned what TFP had to offer even though my friend got me here because of the TB. If I was told there were fantastic forums to have discussions on, I would probably have taken a peek as well, but it started with the TB.

exactly.

Yeah. I was drawn here from a friend saying "the Titty Board rocks!" but afterwards, I found so many great conversations and discussions here...

and wait.. some people can't get into the TB? ... w3rd...

I think more people stay and go on to become very good contributing members than hang out and oogle boobies forever.

I oogle boobies professionally, so I don't often do it on the TFP. :)

Think for a minute.. If you were here only for the porn.. Why would you be reading this thread? ;)

I don't come here for the porn. Surprisingly enough I didn't find this place because of the Titty Board, in fact I never even knew this place started based on the TB until long after I registered. To me, the intellectual content is what the place is about, the tits and arse are just an add-on. I couldn't care less if the TB bit the dust, but on some lonesome nights it serves its purpose for me, too.

Yip

I used to come here for the porn, but when the mammorie board was mia, I slowly weened myself off of it, and now I visit it rarely. So, to answer your question.. No.

No.

I don't have acess to the porn yet, so it doesn't make a diff to me. I did come here because of the porn, but this is a good message board. Besides, most of my posting is when I'm working. Porn is only when I'm at home and the wife isn't (which hasn't been very often lately :( )

I used to heavily be into the porn, now I'm moreso into the topics. More or less a gradual transition based on how much spare time I have, and how I wish to spend that time.

i use the tfp as a place to ask questions that i normally would be embarresed to ask to someone in person

Of Course, this place rocks! so many other boards, with lots of other things to talk about it,

I came to TFP when after a friend recommended it and I saw something about it on FARK. It was because they said it was a good place to check out some porn. I'm not a big porn guy, but free porn is still free porn. Once I got here, I found all sorts of interesting topics and people. Generally, I hate discussion sites/chat rooms etc..., but here I am hundreds of posts later. So, yeah I would stay if the TB went away.

No doubt about it. I only go visit those boards occasionally. It's what caught my attention to begin with but I quite coming when I got board with the porn. Came back later when I realized there was more here than just porn.

yes, it would still be interesting, porn is everywhere

Yes. Before joining, I wasn't even aware that there was a porn forum. I would definitely stay because I rarely ever venture in there anyway. Looking at pictures is a pain in the ass because you have to save each individual one. There are better sources to find whole sets and movies or whatever.

I origanally came for the porn, then when tfp was refigured my goal was to post enough so that I could see the porn again. Then I got banned. Now I realize that this is a pretty cool place that entertains me with or without porn.

yep, im one of the "came for the porn, now enjoys the conversations more" guys.. ;)

I love the forums, the porn can be found elsewhere.

Every day I hit one or two porn threads and think, yup, it's still the same old shit.

If the porn disappeared from the TFP, I really don't think I would care. In fact, I think I would appriciate it if it did. I hate looking at someone else's profile and seeing that they have 500+ posts and then finding out that over 75% of those are just one word responses to tittyboard postings. It cheapens merit of the titles and avitars given to us that legitimately participate.

I'd still hang around but I'm not sure I'd bother seeking TFP 5 out when TFP 4 crashes and burns if TFP 5 was a long time coming.

How does one get a job "oogling" boobies. Is there a rigourous screen process? Do you need a degree?

I love the Titty Board, but I would come back here even if it wasnt here. I can get porn anywhere.

I was absent for a long time and actually didn't know there was still porn on TFP until I read this thread. So yes, the porn is of little importance (though I'm sure I'll enjoy it when I have access to it).

Kinky question,pr0n moves peoples!

I come to TFP because it's the ONLY forum on the Internet that I've been to that isn't full of immature jackasses. The moderation is top-notch, there is no unfair treatment, and flamers are warned (and banned) if necessary. That's enough to keep me coming back to TFP no matter what happens.

I

actually thats what i came for today, but i can't find the titty board, i'm assuming its restricted to paying members or something?

Given the rapid decline of substance in the regular sections, probably not. It’s hard to explain I suppose. Things have changed around here, there’s little groups or “Clicks” if you will…I’ve been here forever…yet I feel strangely out of place…..it’s just not the same atmosphere anymore, I don’t hang out like I used to, I used to post a lot in “general” and in “members”…..these days I tend to stick to Tilted Photochopin’ and the T.B. pretty sad…but, you asked.

yeah this place is great. i'd def. stay

I'll leave if they took out the humor section. Although a lot of the jokes are old or just not funny, there are the occasional gem that makes me laugh.

how do you know when you have access to the titty board?

i'd still be here, most of my posting took place when the tboard was down.
