I haven't been on much and am surprised we are still running the same circles jumping through the same hoops. Good luck on whoever is going to be in charge, although I did think the site was in a good spot over a year ago before the update page got messed with again (obviously now that finally works too). Some rules will be needed and gates need to be well, gatekeeped (gatekept?!). Think the people I spoke of who were closely on the inside of the site are already gone though, good luck Mime and others! I've let known a the few things I do think should be changed through proper channels ages ago so I won't bore people typing shit here. I'm just happy downloading some good AVN's.
Go back to Prestige Ranks able to be purchased with Donation Coins again. Was going to come off $20 bucks to start getting my P ranks but when looking at the shop which is confusing AF, This one takes AC2. This one AC, but these two DC WTF who thought of that is retarded really. If you want to make your monthly budget for server costs you can not depend on the sea of unfinished games. Its the badges and extras that people want to show off. The extra forum areas. Pirate sites are a dime a dozen so depending on well you donate because you believe in the community only works on less that 5% of users. Trust me I ran online communities dealt with it first hand. People want to pay to stand out, grinding posts is not the way. A lot of us just don't have time we have money instead except I guess today I keep mine since I can't use it to shortcut my damn P ranks.
Fix the shop so we can use DC and SEE that we can use DC and the price of it for all things in the shop its donation coins that ultimately pays to keep the lights on.
stop forced threads. it has always pissed a lot of ppl off - more than you realized
edit: ok, i lied...
2nd request: (like someone else already said) revert back to the normal search by release date for latest updates... whatever current trash is for navigating reminds me too much of f9... and its worse than they do. annoying. it should be simplistic and be what ppl want to see, not what u want to show them
what about that the you only need the first level (Members+) to access the full games section that the site was designed for, everything above is fully voluntarily.
every road in any populated area of earth has more than one lane !
if you plan your village for the future it will grow.
However, I did put a disclaimer that I was autistic, so for my type, any change is "ego dystonic" (or that's what the shrink says) hence... my post.
But again, you're 100% right but it does feel (TO ME) like an overload and I've quit sites and games for less. It says something that I'm still here. I do like the site.
Still, if change happens too much, I'll wish you all well and I'll stop bothering you.
Better to have all 4. Keep NTR as an umbrella so someone can exclude all of them. Especially if it stays limited to excluding 10 tags, which isn't anywhere close to enough. I want to block at least the ones where anyone else fucks a LI. And with the meager 10 limit it isn't enough when there are 3 different ones. Just like futa has like 3 or 4 different ones.
Boorus have tag implications.
We could have a graph with grouping of the pair people hate, and then the grouping of the 3 concepts. But document the graph properly. There are tools for that. The concept used to be called ontology in the semantic web days.
A teeny tiny thing: reactions. Consider giving reactions some love - maybe even make new ones part of the Shop. As nice as it is to have 5 different variants of 'thinking', it often feels like none of them quite fit the moment, so the default is usually the generic thumbs up instead. The cooldown is also tragic, but it’s understandable.
I'd go on, but chatting to the void is only so entertaining before the silence gets loud.

While I don't have a whole lot of input to give, the one area I have some trouble with is the shop and the things tied to it. I imagine this topic has been beaten to death, but as a whole, I don't see the system as a bad thing since it helps lock out bad actors while keeping people invested. However, the sheer amount of currencies is a tad confusing and some feel completely redundant. From what I have seen, there are Activity Coins, Activity Coins 2.0, Donation Coins, and Platinum Coins, yet the shop provides no description of where to actually obtain them despite being the spot to spend them. A short blurb would go a long way to ease that confusion, and the purchasable items should also provide more information; right now, the number of banners is staggering, but the only way I know of to see which is which is through Inspect Element. A few quality-of-life measures would help ease people into the system much better.
I see in the Shop the bundle for Prestige.
Opening to view the bundle, it has P1 through P5.
It shows that I have as "Owned" P1, P4 and P5.
However, back when the Prestige Ranks were started, I had used my coins to obtain all ranks in Sequence (including P6 - QC Testing).
Therefore, not only did I lose some coins during the restructure, but now I appear to have lost P2 and P3 (and P6 no longer exists?).
I'll bet that this is true for others.
Please restore to everybody what they have had taken from them (coins probably don't matter, but ranks and badges do to me).
Lastly, I cannot find a thread, page or chart that shows which rank each badge represents (perhaps that would be a good addition).
If it already exists, perhaps making it more accessible, like clicking on a badge brings up the page/thread.
That's the big problem. In face that NSFW were allowed on a certain part got taken away from people who spent a long time earning it. The purges before were a reason people left. Considering not many Games+ are worked on anymore...
I'm a bit mixed on this. It was nice to see content you don't often see elsewhere but I'm also glad it was removed due to the risks involved.
I do miss the 'Cuties' badge though, it was really cute!
I wish the site wouldn't hide content under so many layers. If you are going to add a 'pay to fap' option, please just one payment. I haven't been checking the site this year, so please excuse me if I'm wrong about this.
The site has AI, just not the same AI that it used to have. For example, long ago, the site allowed younger-looking characters to be in public threads as long as the images were entirely SFW without even a hint of sexuality in them.
So much AI art has been removed. We want it back. This was like, the only site that allowed realistic AI images, which made it special. Then that was taken away and now only cartoon stuff can be shown, which makes us no different from ATF. Obviously we have a lot of very talented artists working in the non-realistic space, but I prefer realistic stuff and I'm not the only one. We've lost so many artists and so much art due to various freakouts and purges by the site owner. If some stability, continuity and permissiveness returned to the site, myself and some others who have sworn off posting for now might actually come back and start posting again. Obviously more controversial stuff would have to be hidden from the white knights of the internet somehow so we could enjoy our hobby in peace. But without the good stuff, and with nearly all the (former) loli-game devs running scared nowadays, we are nothing but a second-rate alternative to F95 and/or ATF.
Remove any and all restrictions banning any type of content that is fictional.
Regardless if it 'looks' real ..regardless if its a recreation of a real life celebrity .. ITS NOT REAL, so remove the ban.
I dont like AI ...but i will defend ones right to create it ..loot at it ..and otherwise enjoy it regardless if I an 'offended' by the topic its showing. Just make sure its in its own section and can be otherwise filtered out.
Also, don't remove a game, animation ..picture because the author requested it. Face the fact this site like many others is effectively a pirate site, embrace it and dont pussy foot around.
Tag ontology would be great for the reasons discussed (some people care about the distinction between biological incest vs stepcest, others don't; ontology would avoid those needless arguments).
It would be great to have the site available via a Tor onion service, so that people accessing the site over Tor can avoid wasting exit relay bandwidth.
And yes, +1 for bringing back realistic AI images.
