Having a dedicated phone chat/webcam sub forum would solve most of the issues in my opinion

Except in the case when you know a certain poster posting anonymously behind an alter ego is doing so to blatantly have a pop at a producer under the guise of a "fan" but has no balls to do it as themselves so do it here on a fan base to exert maximum impact

Not that confusing as it sounds when you are familiar to a producers style, tone and motive.

Debate/ criticism is cool but all to often it ends up not being about the product but how the producer/ model looks, fat, small dick, cant fuck, black, white, from mars, wont do gangbangs and bukkake with all and sundry, rubbish cos they wont take it up the arse or any other personal attack you care to choose.

I'll be generous and say the door swings both ways on that argument

All Ive been hearing recently is the forum is dying. The business is dying.

Not at all. its all in a state of transition. Times are changing and so the business model of making money from it will too and that goes for the producers and talent in the business as well.

If theres one thing I have observed in recent years its how business oriented and less fun it has become for many and I'm hearing it a lot from those who have come into the business the past few years and left who would be none too pleased if I was to put them on the spot so as a mark of respect shall remain nameless

This forum itself is dying, although i think the business and industry isnt.

Well, the forum will be die completely if it doesnt keep up with the current transition with new trends.

Which is why I put :

Think rocky2013 hit the spot

Are the Admin even around anymore?

No sign of moved posts

I've lost count of the number of times an edit post facility has been asked for and ignored.

Like someone else said the Promotions Forum is now no more than an Adult TV guide.

I don't imagine BGAFD is a charity for our benefit. It must depend financially upon affiliacy income. With the dramatic decline of the independent affiliate/sponsor business model in the porn industry there can be little incentive to make expensive improvements here - or perhaps BGAFD admin are fabulously and independently wealthy and just don't give a damn any more.

Dunno - just guessing !happy!

After all these years of asking, we still don't have an edit button on the forum. If that hasn't happened yet, I can't see the BGAFD moving into the sparkly shiny world of social media !hmmm!
