This isn't a porn board. This isn't an erotica board either. This isn't a sex board. We have those, namely the Sexual Role Playing Board and the Amateur Pic Feedback Board.
This is a community. We were brought together by a common interest in pornographic/erotic/smut stories and happened into this particular place. This is a place where we discuss everything from politics, war, and social ills to who is wearing green panties, what kind of fruit would we be, and fun flirting. This is a well-rounded community where people get together to talk about anything that pleases them.
We are all human beings. We all have good days when we're friendly and we all have bad days. Some of us are passive, most assertive, some aggressive; just like every other community in existence. Because we are a whole community of human beings, we will have things that aren't necessarily fun, that aren't very friendly, and that generally demonstrate the ugly side of human nature. This is, actually, a good thing. It gives the people who come here a place to be completely themselves.
You can be whomever you want here. Most of us figured out that the best person to be is yourself. One of the greatest, and rarest, qualities of this board is the fact that you do not have to censor yourself. Only a few things are taboo: spam, posting another's private information, and physical threats (see forum guidelines, bottom of page). This is a freedom that you just don’t find anywhere else on the planet. There is no where that you can say whatever you like without fear of retribution from the local constabulary or civil litigation.
To call this place a porn board is to cheapen the friendships that have developed here. If this were just a porn board, or even an erotic board, then there would be no lasting friendships, there would be no lives touched and changed. Why not? Because the only thing that would exist here would be sex and that is not something you can base a commitment of oneself on.
Every last one of us has made good, close friends here. We didn't do with cybersex. We didn't do it looking at pornographic pictures or erotic art. We didn't do it by discussing sexual issues. We did it by reading a wide variety of opinions by those friends, deciding we liked their posting style, and then we began a personal dialogue that deepened into friendship. People have moved to different countries because this board and the people in it made that possible. People have left abusive homes and moved across the country to have the basis of a successful start in life all because of the people on this board.
When anyone refers to this place as a porn board, they are denying the very friendships that surround this place. They are denying the strong and wonderful communications that exist here. They are denying the fact that people in this community touch each other’s lives and make a real difference. To say this is a porn board denies the humanity in it.
People come here for solace when they hurt. They come here to vent when they are angry. They come here to flirt when they want to have fun. They come here to discuss issues that disturb them. They come here be with their friends. They come here to troll because they have an inadequacy within themselves to fill. No one comes here only for sex. People who start out that way quickly leave or come back for other reasons. Why? This is not a porn board.
You're welcome, darlin.
