Feedback on Priorities?
Would love some feedback on what people think should be the priorities... some of the things on the to-do list include:
Comment Replies
Comment Voting
Forum Post Voting
Member Following
Adding the checklist buttons to regular pages
More 'standard' positions
Special position sets: in the car, in the bathroom, in the kitchen... etc...
Adding other ethnicities (to break up the white on white everywhere).
A nude edition of the positions
Polls & Surveys
Improving dashboard area on mobile.
More avatars (if so, please add some detail)
... and a whole lot more.
If you have any thoughts, I'd love to hear them!
Replies:
Automatic link handling for posts and comments... aka make the url a link once the post is confirmed not to be spam.
I would love to see Bondage positions
More 'standard' positions
More Special position sets, in the car is a great.
A nude edition of the positions
Polls & Surveys
If there are any standard positions you like that missing, please send links through the contact form if you are able... I have a list of about 30 or so to add at the moment.
For bondage I was thinking a position section showing different ways to tie up your partner... which guessing by your username, is what you have in mind?
Any preferences on specialty sets? I was thinking "the kitchen island" and "in the tub" next...
Nude is going to take nearly a full month of rendering to do... but I would like to have it as an option for Patrons... since they should be above legal age / that would prevent problems with minors.
Polls used to be on the site.... and they got removed a long time ago because the software being used stopped working / the company who made the software shut down. I would like to add them back... I've just been hesitant since they aren't that great until they have a fair amount of responses.... but then again, they won't have enough responses until I build them.
Thank you kindly for the feedback!
I also need to add the functionality for replies to send out emails...
I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, but you should ask for ideas on how to make this site more current. In the short time I've been here, I've only seen perhaps 5 poster and responses that are less then a month old. I think the latest ones are mostly between th MOD and I. My friend told me about this site months ago. In talking with her last week she said she has not been on because there's nothing new, and it's all old postings.
Getting users to engage is pretty tricky now-a-days.... since most people spend most of their time on the social giants.... and much less time on smaller forums. This is made worse by most people surfing the internet on phones (nearly 75% of traffic!), and forums aren't the most mobile friendly creations. On top of those problems, there is also the gaining traction problem. It takes people posting to get others to engage... which you and Magda have been doing a great job with so far... If a few others come on board, that should help gaining enough inertia for it to come back to life.
The new site has over 1400 members registered, but I'm assuming most are only here for the bucket list... and all of the above has kept people from getting more involved.
Once the polls get some more activity, I plan on building some cross-tabulation functionality so that we get some interesting insights into society at large... though it will take a fair amount of data in them before it can happen.
I also need to get on building the notification system so that people can get alerts to replies on topics they're involved in... and would really like to create some sort of profile type functionality to let people have their own sex blogs through the site....
Do you have any ideas on making the site more current?
I'll add in a vote for "Adding the checklist buttons to regular pages". Also going the other way, adding search and/or categories to the checklist items. If we do a position we've never done before, but didn't initially find it from this website, it can be a lot of work to go through nearly 20 pages of "To Do" to find it. Also when we want to try something new but have an idea of roughly what we want (fellatio, cunnilingus, rear entry, facing, her on top, etc...) it would be nice to go to the "To Do" list and filter it to only what we want.
For fun - the whole site has been completely rebuilt - with the intention of keeping it more current ;)
Gomez - the checklist functionality is now fully integrated with the rest of the site!
I think you should consider doing some light advertising on Reddit. That’s actually how I found this site, but the link was hidden deep in an old post, so it’s easy to miss. You might even want to start a subreddit for this to help people find it more easily.
Along those lines, an app would be a great move if you have the skills to build one. Everything else out there right now is pretty much garbage—either riddled with ads, poor quality images, way too expensive, or requiring a full sign-up. If you kept it simple with just some unintrusive banner ads, I think it would really take off since you’ve already done so much of the groundwork with the images and animations.
I also have a couple of ideas for new categories. One would be household furniture; you already have some chair positions, but you could expand that to include couches, sturdy tables, and kitchen counters. You could also do a separate section for specialized intimacy furniture like swings, wedges, sex couches, and pillows. Lastly, I'd love to see a category for mobility-friendly positions. My partner deals with a lot of daily pain and can't really do the "fancy" stuff anymore, so having a section for accessible positions would be amazing. Just a bit of a mind dump for the night!
The site used to be linked non stop in /r/sex - then some nazi mods took over and try to run a no-outside links policy. I reached out to them about making a post for the relaunch - they turned me down. This site is now just a hobby for me - where previously it was my full time job... so that's why there are no ads now - but also nothing for revenue (yet)... consequently not really wanting to spend money on ads - already spending a lot of my off hours working on it. Instead - I'm hoping to keep adding awesome features to it and let it build organically - it is getting about 8-10k visitors a day, just need to get more of them to join the forum :D.
Apps are planned for the not too distant future - but they were their own hell last time I had them. Constantly getting pulled with no explanation... I'm going to do another push there - but given the painful history, i have quite a few other things i want to get going first.
Some good ideas on the position front. the specialty section was going to include pieces of furniture - rooms (like bathrooms) - and i still have some 50 I never got around to rendering. My rendering rig is now 10 years old though - so I'm going to need to get something newer before i can add much on the rendered content front.
Regarding positions for certain things - like a bad knee or hip are something i hope to be able to add very soon through user position reviews... then once we have enough data - we'll be able to make special collections for them.
Little Spoiler - The next thing I'm going to be launching is a browser game section for both couples and parties. Some classics like couple's dice (but better), spin the bottle, truth or dare, and four others are under development right now. Hoping to have them out within a week or two.
Well that sucks about /r/sex, I wonder if there some other subreddit that would let you. Reddit does have quite a mod problem nowadays with related subreddits. Usually the same people across wide range. I don't blame you for not wanting to pay for ads but it's awesome the site is getting that many visitors!
As for apps I believe the play store has banned all adult related content. You would have to do 3rd party app stores like APKpure or aptoid. iOS still seems to allow sex apps.
On the rendering side of things what software are you using? I have some beefier hardware if you could send me the project and I can export. Glad you liked my catagories 😁
Your upcoming work is exciting! You are putting in a ton of work!
Separately, how does the friend system on here work? If I go to your profile I see the button put it's greyed out. Also, is there direct messaging?
Edit, I see that I can actually add you now. Don't know what I was doing wrong before lol...
Yeah - reddit has really been on a one way trip in the wrong direction for a really long time. Real shame... it was my favorite site on the interwebs for many years.
Traffic is starting to pick up - but still only at 20% of what it was at peak. The changes i've made for this v6 should make a huge impact on getting search traffic back - technical performance is now at 4x100% or 3x100% + 1x99% on all important site pages... page views per visit is up 70%... time on site is up 250% per session and registrations are up ~150%. Just need to land a few more good core peeps to help get conversations rolling on the forums. Once that starts happening, i think the migration to sites like this / exodus from sites like reddit will be shockingly fast. Big tech has shown what it is - and it's time for the internet to go back to its grass roots.
Yep... the app stores are brutal. The last time i made them - Apple made the "no more kama sutra apps" rule while it was in review - and then rejected it for that rule. I eventually found someone with 7 sex related apps - and we made a deal to get in under that account. Google let it in, but repeatedly suspended it with no explanation - and they'd never reply as to why or what I needed to get unsuspended. The only way back in was to create a new app - but then all prior purchasers lost their upgrade. This time around - i'm not looking to make money from it - so won't have to worry about paywalling some of the content and people losing access on suspensions.
All of the 3d rendering was done in Daz3d... My rig still technically works - but it took over 45mins per position (in 4k quality) when i did the upgrade from the old low-def animated files. I've read that on a 5090 i can expect each to take to take around 3-4 minutes. It's not just the hardware though - there's all the licenses for the models, outfits, hair, furniture, vehicles etc.. I greatly appreciate the offer - and might take you up on it at some point - but I already have so much to do that adding more positions is pretty far down the list for now. So many of the current positions have embarrassingly bad content that needs to be cleaned up before i would want to consider adding more that need copy written. I think making better use of the ones already here - especially for people dealing with some sort of pain or physical limitations - needs to come first.
I do want to get the dust off for a little 3d rendering in the near future though - just to add more avatar options for everyone and to have a bunch that are reserved for patreon peeps as another perk. (i really dislike the idea of cutting people on a tighter budget off of actual content.)
I saw the friend requested - added.
I know some of the features are reputation gated - and just about everything you can do on the site builds your reputation and the reputation of the people you interact with... the main goal there was just to prevent spam bots from joining and then annoying everyone. A couple things require you to get to flirty - level 2. Most of the rest unlock at level 3 - Frisky. Only things higher are based on each person's settings - i think you might have been under my threshold - i had sending me DMs restricted to people who are Adventurous or higher - which you might have just crossed. My DM settings are currently restricted to "friends only" - which is why that wasn't working yet. Seems i need to make that easier to see for people :D.
In full disclosure - i added so many features in such a very short period of time - i most definitely didn't test everything anywhere as much as I should have.... and it took all of my will power to stop adding just more thing. Mentions and emojis in the forum were high on my list too - but i was able to talk myself out of them to get the new version up. Mentions and emojis are likely going to be the next thing i do once i get through the games addition - but each game is a pretty decent sized project - and i'm trying to have 7 ready for the launch of the section. Then there's the member dashboards and profile pages that were a bit rushed and in need of tuning. No shortage of work for years to come!
