Link O'Rama Rule Changes (yipee)

Seriously - this is NOT that big of a change & if you don't like it or any of the other rules, then don't submit.

Now that you put it that way I like it more.

I was a cunt hair nervous when the original post made it sound like the pics had to be 1200px on the long side (phew), but otherwise - I'm not seeing a problem here. You shouldn't be pushing the lower size pics anyway. He or she with the better samples is going to sell more porn. Keep shoving those 500px wide pixelated pieces of shit in front of your surfers and wonder why they're not buying. Good samples will sell the site better than constantly repeating "I know my samples suck, but if you join you'll get nicer shots"

Have you people ever bought a used car? Two cars cost $3k. You take both for a test spin. All else equal, one looks like shit, one still has good paint and upholstery. The salesman tries the hard sell on the shitty one. "It'll look better after you buy it than it does now!" Yeah, sure it will.

At least the LOR has made it EASIER for you less than genius free site builders who couldn't squeeze your templates down below 750 to avoid horizontal scroll for the last 5 years.

You were nervous? I'm the dumbass that thought he meant both sides had to equal 1200px nothing bigger and nothing less |shocking|

I dont want to argue but just for the record, I dont submit sites with tiny crappy conteont and I dont have any problems with sideways scrolling either. I build good sites with good content.

They'd just go to TGPs. Link lists and free sites suck anyway.

This discussion just goes to show that there are different theories on what sells porn. I think surfers buy because you've got them hooked on a good thing, you think they buy because free porn sucks.

Thought that bore repeating

Some of the arguments here against changes like these are not unlike the old mindset of blind links and circle jerks. Throw up some crappy pics and more or less force the surfer to the paysite at all costs.

By no means saying you would do that WB, but trying to show you a different perspective on why changes like this are likely good for sales

I'd like to think we're working with a somewhat more savvy surfer in todays adult market. Todays surfer is less likely to purchase based on seeing shitty samples and being herded to a paysite for more. But, give him a taste of something of quality...something that really pushes the buttons...something that hits home...and you might just have a sale

The same can be said of paysites...the old cookie cutter paysites dont' sell like they used to. This business is changing and maturing. I really think it's time to come out of the dark corners and into the light. Using quality samples to promote quality adult products makes sense imo.

Having given it a lot of thought since Greenie went live with these changes, I'll likely be implementing some changes at FPP. That is, if I ever get these new categories added!!!

Oh, btw - I don't like his wider site allowance. I honestly keep my settings at 800x600 and horizontal scroll annoys me to no end. And now I'm going to be seeing more of it! Damn that !

Who'da thunk that this would become the board's HOT thread?

[Kinky]

what are we all gonna do when Greenie starts making us build for all the people that are buying widescreen monitors and laptops which are all the rage today? I want stuff to look good on my 42" plasma monitor and my 50" HD monitor in the living room too

What I find most interesting is the amount of board members in support of the changes.

As though a bunch of us were just waiting for greenie to say it was okay.
