Extra features for the Community Supporters forum

I like the reviews idea, especially for the public area. Not sure about the dares idea. How would the supporters one be different from a public one? Supporters could nominate each other to do a dare perhaps, like nominating people for the ice bucket challenge was.

The key difference would be just HOW public the photos are. Photos in the public forum will be seen by a great number of people and that could put a lot of people off. Dares posted in the Supporters version would be seen by a much smaller number.

 

Thinking about it further, I wonder if a less-public dares forum would be better placed in the “Prepared to Get Naked” forum?

Are these questions still on the agenda?

If so perhaps a supporters’ dares section would mean that people who are reluctant to be seen participating in them on the WWW might take part if they knew they’d only be seen by fellow supporters, or start there before gaining the confidence to bare more on the wider internet. Being seen full-frontal naked and recognisable online doesn’t come naturally to everyone, but it is a lot of fun. Starting off by only exposing what people are comfortable with (i.e. naked above the waist with face turned away) to their fellow NE members could be a way that leads to eventually showing all, to all. I know quite a lot of nudists who’ve been getting naked in public at beaches for a long time, they’re very comfortable doing so, but they baulk at the idea of being nude online, though their curiosity about the experiences of those of us who are recognisable online as nudists doesn’t seem to lessen.

You may well get higher participation if members know it will only be other supporters who can see each other, you might also get more supporters.

That’s a very good idea. There aren’t enough supporters right now but, as you say, it could be a good draw to attract more supporters.
