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

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.

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.

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. |

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
