That being said I wouldn't be posting if all my posts had "zero thanks" or no comment. One of the reasons I post here has to do to with the community feeling of VEF and the happiness of some members when they finally get long sought after material. |

I've been making and posting screencaps for about 10 years now and been active on celebrity forums for a few years longer than that. I've known about this ratio for almost that long. If it concerned me I would have stopped years before I came here. Heck, I've been off and on trying to calm down others about it for longer than I can remember. Would I like to get more thanks and appreciation? Of course, I'm human, I like a good ego stroke as much as the next hairless primate. But I know enough to know that trying to force it doesn't work and almost always backfires. I've seen it happen several times and I'd prefer it didn't happen here so every once in a while I tilt at the windmill of human self-destructiveness. Come Sancho! Time to ride forth again!

In all seriousness you fix the thanks issue which really only effects the private areas given those in the public domain are always going to be out of kilter given guests / non-members cant thank but can download. Then the issue becomes others simply cutting and pasting the links on other blogs / forums or watered down versions made from your downloads uploaded on streaming video sites etc Thats a far bigger reason why some no longer share as they once did During the 2 weeks VEF was down in early 2013 one member reported a file was still being downloaded on 10 other sites....they do it because it earns them advertising revenue The only deterrent to date that I'm aware of thats partially stopped this is to place a website logo ie Vintage-erotica-forum on the film so the other sites take it down The ironic part was this was done by a cash poster who was having his content borrowed by other cash posters. Until rewards are dead and gone i dont think hiding links will be a real reason for those who no longer post to start again. edit even if the rewards end the advertising revenue will always be around so blogs full of other peoples uploads will continue on and on unfortunately...

I'm also crazy enough to occasionally remember that humans are irrational and getting upset over that is itself irrational. So I irrationally decide to rationally do my best to not get irrationally upset. I think. I may have gotten lost somewhere in that last sentence.

You say the forum was created to share with each other. I would say it was created to share. You appear to want to limit who we share with. I don't.

All of these forums such as VEF, PSuzy, etc were created by the original owners for the purpose of giving people a place to share whatever they had with anyone who happened to want it for their collections of material. Back then there was no "thanks" button, people showed appreciation by actually posting comments and saying "thanks". To be honest, I liked that better at the time.... to me someone showing their appreciation by actually making a post was worth 100 thanks clicks. However, once the number of members of the forum increased to larger numbers, the "thanks" button was introduced to try to limit the size of the actual threads.
These forums are still about giving people a place to share with everyone regardless of whether they choose to click a button or participate in any way. If I have anything to say about it, that's how it will stay. Attempting to limit who has access to the content is a good way of frustrating members and losing potential future contributors in the process so this will not happen at this forum. We want to grow our membership, not stagnate and possibly fade away.

As a small time uploader i'd never use the hide link option because
1 - Free host account material needs to be active Once your past the initial members interest its largely the guests who keep it alive from my perspective a view or a download is as valuable as a thanks I'd almost think this applies to some premium file hosts except the hosts use the dmca takedown reason to disguise what their really doing. 2 - Hide it and you just potentially lose a download or worse they join , download and never comeback like the hundreds of thousands that litter every forums membership Dormant memberships are a great way for bots to get access so i've been told Forced membership is never wise because there are far too many other forums which dont The few that i've come across like that I simply bypass...content is now so widely sprayed about no forum really has exclusive material like they once did 7-10 years ago |
