Has the FreeOnes Board become obsolete?

[Sexpert007]

porn will never become obsolete

I think FreeOnes will only get bigger

 

[BlinkAgain]

It appears that many thoughtful, intelligent people have left -- although there are a few still hanging around. I came back mostly for nostalgia's sake (well, and to follow up on what I had started).

I find myself missing the great debates and debaters of yesteryear.

In my experience, internet forums wax and wane. Always have, always will. Sometimes they make a comeback, often they don't. But with the arsenal of porn backing it up I think this one has a pretty good chance.

I think media like twitter and instagram are definitely going to cost OCSMs, it's way easier to take a pic and post a short caption from your phone than to log into a buggy slow server and type out a post that's going to receive replies and challenges and may need to be expanded or defended.

The ease of use is ABSOLUTELY an issue for me. I can't even tell you how many times I have tried to use my phone to answer a post or post something and just left frustrated. Twitter and Instagram make it so easy to do it on mobile devices.

I basically agree with everything Harley said. Me too.
I don't intentionally abandon FreeOnes, I just get super busy and choose to spend my free time for entertainment/ time for promotions in other places.
I'd definitely probably be spending time here on a way more consistent, involved basis if it didn't just feel like everyone is constantly attempting to troll each other.
..........so most of the time yeah, I'd rather only stay inside my own thread or the few threads I trust to be fun and friendly, like OCSM of the week.

That is the biggest thing..... I used to enjoy coming in here and having fun interacting, and yes of course promoting my work as well but I can do that anywhere, I actually have relationships of sorts with people here, friends I would say even. But something happened at the end of the 2013 Miss Freeones, I'm sure you all remember it well, accusations, manipulations, backstabbing, insults, outright hatred shown between OCSMs.... it was fucking terrible really. I know for a fact it was the last month many OCSMs posted anything here, and quite a few regular members left in disgust as well. And then, Even though the 2014 contest pleased some of the board members, maybe most of them, it also alienated many of the OCSMs who could plainly see that the contest for board related categories basically was going to be the same winners (and Me), and there wasn't much anyone would be able to do about it. That is not to say anything negative about the winners..... all ladies who gave so much of their time, posted so much free content, and genuinely were full time contributors to this board..... all deserving of their wins, but again, making it very clear that outsiders were not going to have a chance. After that was ANOTHER big drop off in participation, but really 2013 was the catalyst as far as I am concerned. It seems like the seriousness that some had towards the contest, the amount of anger that would come out, the fact that people lost sight of the fact that Freeones is SOOOOOOOO much bigger than the board... I think at one point I read that the board traffic didn't even add up to 1/10th of Freeones overall traffic. But so many would be angry that 'their girl" got beat out by someone who was a Brazzers girl or Porn Kings girl or Vivid or Wicked... the list goes on of multi MILLION dollar companies that are TRULY responsible for Freeones being the huge site that it is. You think Arie Dee, Mandy Flores, Harley, and Brianna Lee are driving traffic to this site? Not anything close to what the big producers do, yet members and OCSMs alike acted like it was some offense that those producers porn starlets would dare to win anything. Well the message was heard loud and clear. THOSE companies don't bother having their stars come here anymore. Sad to say it but it seems obvious what has happened. I used to drop into my personal thread and have 20 or thirty different people commenting, asking me questions, or just dropping in to comment on the conversation but now I rarely see more than 3 or 4 (VERY MUCH APPRECIATED) regulars there now, even when I try to stay consistently active. I don't see that happening on my twitter, and I can't even keep up with the tube sites comments and DM's I get everyday.

Freeones is absolutely the best, and they will get through this on the boards, I'm sure it doesn't affect their traffic at all. It's nice to have an active forum, but that's not what Freeones is here for, it's just an extra that we have all been fortunate to interact on.

Yes, but isn't performers bitching about people and their work what other folks outside of sex work call an "occupational hazard." Your body and how you choose to fuck is always going to have a critic because of the amount of people turned on/off by it, right? It's just like any other actor, musician, writer, journalist or any other job dealing with the public. People are always going to be assholes.

Which is exactly the point..... the ladies don't like it they don't have to read it if they don't come in here and interact.

Thanks for those DM responses but others may need to see them here as well.

And it's shit like this that makes me glad I don't participate in any of that bullshit.

Thanks, I try.

And I came back because I love you all.

Look on the bright side - There is this year's Asshat of the Year 2016 contest in the member section being set up, nominations being collected. So we might have to take things more in our own hands more.

Did I just answer my own question with sarcasm? Yes, yes I did. I trolled myself.

 

[RJS12]

I used to post here daily for a very long time. But my honesty has got me banned more than a dozen times so I keep to myself for the most part now. I have never posted anything that wasn't true and that offends people. People now days are sensitive sissies that get all bunged up over facts/truth. What am I supposed to do, log in and post lies just to appease a few members?


You can't handle the truth!!!!

All good points! It was interesting to read your passage, as for some reason i was gone in 2013 and did not know what happened...i came back and this page is so totally different. I know many of my favorite OCSMs are gone now.

It is kinda sad, but there are still plenty of awesome ladies here, and lot's of fun board members too.
