Would you stay a patron if

… photos/videos containing nudity were no longer permitted on the site?

If this change goes through? Possibly, maybe probably not, depending on what was left.

What made the site unique was it was about our journey, our stories, our pictures.

It may not be what you intended, as you’ve never been interested when I have suggested galleries for our personal pictures, but that journey and the endgame of the pictures, the dares seems to be the reason a lot of us come on.

Take a big part of that away and a lot of the reason to use the website goes.

There’s no way to do personal galleries without building each manually. That’s potentially a huge amount of work for me, using time I don’t have.

The site will still be very much about the experience and the experiments etc., just not the imagery (videos/galleries/attachments). Without watertight age verification (either expensive or time-consuming), user-posted content (beyond text) won’t be viable after July 25th.

The MDL is different as it’s user-submitted rather than user-posted. And we can continue it with genitals etc. censored. It may be a good time to end non-publishing being an option?

[Ed]

Is it worth continuing?

 

I thought more people would have opinions on this whole topic, but I’m not sensing much enthusiasm…

Wow – no replies to that post??

I’m afraid that looks like quite a clear answer. I have found this a pleasant group of people — but there’s not much going on.

It’s always been a problem. Lots of people check in, don’t post anything or stick around long enough for anyone else to be online and then leave. During the day, we’re getting something like 40-80 people visiting, but as almost no-one posts anything, it looks like there’s no-one here. I’ve tried everything to encourage more interaction, or for people to check in more often, but nothing really works.

I havent been a paid patron for a while.

I tried adding a mwordy description of the thing I did last night to see how that went without any photo or video of me.

I do have the video, just editing a 12 minute video with face can be annoyingly long winded task. Even with tracking on capcut and filmora it still doesn’t work properly. I will try put the video some where atlt some point. I quite enjoyed writing about the experience though.

I will join up to patreon again if the site goes on but kind of waiting to see what happens first. Also how do we get the verified tag?

What do I need to send you or do I need to do a video call or something with ID?

It’s been a while since I’ve verified anyone. Taking part in an experiment will do it. Otherwise sending a photo or video of you full-frontal naked holding up a sheet with NakedExperiment written on it. I check these carefully for editing, source, metadata etc. (People sometimes take a photo off the web and superimpose the text on it.). Members often end up sending a couple of photos to satisfy that it’s not faked (getting one photo off the web is easy, but 2 or 3 of the same person, in the same location, holding up a sheet of paper isn’t so easy).

I’m not sure if the “Verified” badge will exist on the new version of the site? Haven’t planned for that yet.

[Since1980_v2]

Well I was submitting my photo to another site I took the opportunity to do this one too to get verified for as long as that lasts. I also did the first 3 introductory dares as well a while so hopefully they will be added soon too and I can move up the ranking slightly.

 

Need to get out and do some more of those challenges.

Done and done!

There should be at least 2 months left.
