Ban the non-active

I notice when a new post of passes is posted it's pretty much done in a day. It's completely raped by thousands of people who don't participate in the community. They're just here for the porn. Why don't you ban their asses?

Because its not our fault that they don't participate. They don't do it on their own terms. The Lurkers just float around and look, but don't participate. It would be nice if we could just erase them from existance, but right now they can still get a new account. So we would have a pile of old, non-used account, and a pile of new, un-used accounts. That wouldn't do anything except use nicknames that someone else could be using.

A lot of people came here for the porn. I know I did. It took me 4 months before I started participating.

As for the passes, you don't know if they are also posted somewhere else. Whoever posted them could post them anywhere they want to, and someone else could just as easily cracked the same passwords. Its all a matter of chance and luck.

Heh, I just came here, and thats why I'm here. I'll be honest, since if I get banned, its not much of a major issue for me.

I'm here for the Titty Board. Thats why I registered, and where I'll spend 99% of my time. Will I post in the others? Eventually I'll read a post that'll get my attention enough to get me to post at length. Does the fact that I cant have an avatar for howmany months it'll take me to make 250 posts annoy me? Sure. Will I prolly get yelled at since I tend to make numerous, short posts anyways? Prolly.

I'll most likely eventually find a thread I can argue on enough to get me to post a lot, but right now I'm here to gaze at titties.

But heh, I posted, so I contributed!

Many of the people here are here for the titties. A lot of the others started that way and gradually started gazing at the other boards as well. Some of us don't even visit the titty board. It all depends on the person that's browsing. I personally like those who can contribute to the forum in more than just one place.

I guess it came true, Espark was banned in the time period of two days! Is it a new record?

That was mean...I discovered this place when I heard it had a titties topic...I came here for awhile just for that and then decided to look into the other topics...I found out that the titties topic wasn't the only thing that I liked...I look at a bunch of others as well...I think that this forum is one of the best...I love it...I'm spreading the word about this place...and no I'm not saying "Hey, I heard that TFP was the best site for pr0n"...I'm telling them about the advice topic and the gaming topic and the music topics...I tell them that this is a great place to get help and to talk to other ppl and stuff...I don't mention the pr0n stuff...I let them find that out for themselves...THANX

That's a good start. Thank you for not just coming here and oggling the titty board. But in reply to that being mean, he himself said he did not care if he was banned. So he pretty much set himself up for it.

I'll admit as well, I first arrived here just for the titty board. But after lurking for about a month and reading some of the conversations, I had to say something. I guess that's just part of my nature It scared me when I first opened up the board today and read the message stating that some members will be banned and TFP may go down. Just as I was getting into the groove of things too...

I have some suggestions about solving this problem. Keep in mind that I am new and not totally sure how everything works around here yet, and I'm sorry in advance if I'm saying something that's already been said. But I felt like I needed to help

- Why don't we just become a private board? After banning the lurkers who have shown themselves to be here just for the porn, put a password system into TFP so that only certain members can enter. No more worries about the lurkers coming back, and the people who talk can still talk. TFP can always become public again whenever the need for new blood arises.

- I don't think getting rid of the titty board is such a good idea. Many of the people who entered here came for the boobage, but stayed for the mind if you catch my drift. Could some of the strain be lifted from the server if older Titty topics were deleted? I know most of them die after 3 days (pictures turn into red x's) and we have about 50 pages of topics I think.

- Maybe another way to encourage participation would be to make the Titty board a board you have to earn access to, like some of the others around here that I've heard about. Maybe something like a 50 post entry fee or something.

- Lastly, maybe appointing certain people who have proven themselves "worthy" as the only people who can post new titty topics. Would that lessen any strain?

I hope my suggestions help this place out.

As to your questions Gman:

1.) We tried that, and screened people who wanted to enter via the chat room. It was quite a hassle for the admins.

2.) We are constantly seaching out and moving rexed threads to the testing board where they are eventually purged.

3.) We tried locking out the Titty Board before, and it just encouraged people spamming the board.

4.) It would be very difficult to deem someone worthy of being able to post a thread on the Titty Board. Besides, as long as the post is enjoyed, that's all that matters.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

Having read this thread, I would like to say that, yes, I admit, the reason why I first joined the TFP was for the porn. But after having started to use it and read the forums, I realize how much is here and how useful it really can be.

I look forward to being a member of the TFP community for a long time to come.

I can honestly say I came for the porn. But i can also say that i do participate in other boards. So my posts are pretty spread out.

I seem to fit the description of the rest of you guys. I have belonged to 2 forums seriously in the past, with well over a thousand posts, and I felt like it was time to participate in a forum again so I started reading threads and posting my replies. Little did I know that in the week or so that I was doing that, the pr0n disappeared. I guess it isn't too bad a thing. I'm too lazy to find a new source so I'll just keep active in the other boards.

Eh, I hate to say it but without the erotica, this board is pretty much useless to me. A community is nice, but I did the whole "Internet/Cyber/Whatever Community" -thing back in 97' it just gets tiresome. This isn't a bash, and I'd hate to come off as ungrateful, but without the eye candy there's not much here I can't get from my room mates, or close friends. Sex, and porn may not be the highest of ideals but none of us can say we're always in the mood for high ideals.

Thanks for the board, and I'll miss the other hornballs...

What first brought me here was the Titty Boards- just like most of the people on here- but the more and more I've been on here, I've been browsing and posting on the other boards. It's actually surprised me- this is probably the most intelligent group of posters out of any of the boards I post on. There's always numerous great topics going on in each of these forums.

It seems to be a common trend that most everyone starts out as a lurker, whether they come for porn or advice, it's all the same. I wanted to check things out and see how the community responds to newbies. I have decided to start contributing, as I enjoy the discussions, and feel like I know people here even though I have never posted. Vouyeristic? Notsomuch, just needed to feel comfy.

Let's put it this way, if people are going to be using the bandwidth, it's much better for them to be an active member of the community than someone who uses the bandwidth without participating.

Can you also ban non-active lurkers who decides to spam the board with their responses in order to achieve Tilted status. 40 posts in 40 minutes, give me a break.

i miss the links forumn. i loved the active porn community in here, and really wish it were still here. i personally think that if no pictures posted directly to the board then it shouldn't eat up too much bandwidth. i don't talk all that much any where, real life or virtual, i'm not the real talky type. but every now and then i would engage in some sort of participation in the community, which i came to for the porn. and because of this site i have been able to find some of my favorite porn which have personally enriched my boring ass sex life. and as i see that there is very little chance that the links board will be coming back i would like to know if anyone knows of any other "communities" that i could be a part of to obtain movies at no cost. so i could then come here with out remorse. thank you.

It's considered rude to ask for links to other boards on forums.

Keep your community, if thats what I've "missed out" on then good bye. I can find inflated egos in real life, I dont need them in cyber space.

Okay, I should "keep my mouth shut?"

Yes, then people will complain about me "lurking"... excellent idea, not at all backwards or overly critical... Nicely put indeed.

You don't need to lurk, just read the rules located in the Newbie forum and in whatever forum you're about to post in. They should be pretty obvious, but get acquainted with them. As soon as you know the rules, start posting.

As a lurker, the above post is the exact reason why I come for the porn. It's because I don't want to deal with intolorent people like the above.

I came a long time ago for the discussions, then left, then came back when I needed a porn fix, then it went away, then i left, and now I am back, for the discussions.

But really, with an open registration, their isn't much that can be done about inactive/lurking members, they can always find a way back in.
