A shame I can't use images like this

Post by davidnorth »

Going over Lily Anna's page and fixing little problems, I noticed this 2012 image I'd created. There's no chance anyone would allow that to be used to advertise a video these days.

The number of times I see a picture I think would be just right to highlight a great clip or hot model in peril, and then chicken out, wondering what the Twitter Stasi would think of it...

Still, they can't stop me looking at it in the privacy of my own laptop. Yet.

I can use such pictures here on Beauties in Bondage, just not in the store or on Clips4Sale, which are policed by, as you say, the Stasi. Maybe I should start doing that, as long it doesn't confuse buyers when they see different pictures for the same product.

Maybe if we post it as "an act of protest" Twitter will let us post it? They allow images only if it is part of a protest movement.

BTW, Hello jroper and welcome to the forum, If I have not mentioned that already. It is ALWAYS great to have new "faces" and feedback on this forum. It can get dull hearing the droning from the same ole' crew day in and day out.

We're going to need a top lawyer to present our case. Step forward Ms Winters...
Ahh.

True, the DiDVids drones aren’t responding much any more, so time to give this forum another try.
Might even learn to embrace models with vividly coloured hair and nose rings!

The Harty has returned! The forum is starting to pick up again.

Actually, I hold the view that forums in general are dying because of the instant gratification of social media. Unlike ten years ago, only a handful of people have signed up on this one, and on my Bound2Burst one, and most of those never post anything.

That's why I tend to use this as a place to advertise new videos, especially since Twitter decided, after nine years, that my content was not suitable for their platform. Some fight their way back onto Twitter by setting up new accounts, but what would be the point - I would still be posting women in bondage and would no doubt get banned again. Besides, hundreds of likes on Twitter never did translate into sales. I think I get more response from Fetlife. Twitter is a place where people are desperate to get likes for what they post, but that's about all.

Those interested in interacting with some of the models can do so via OnlyFans, or via Cams. That will no longer happen on forums. Even when the occasional model did post something on my forums in the past, the response to them was lukewarm. Hence, they quickly stopped.

I sometimes get people asking me to use the forum to spill the beans about the models, revealing personal details and the like. If they don't publish stuff about themselves online that they are happy to share, I certainly can't supply that.

In view of the above, one must ask: What function does a forum now fulfill?
