Right now most users online are browsing albums (there are only two or three Dommes online). Nothing against those who are browsing albums, but if I want to look at BDSM pics I have a thousand places on the Internet where to do that, while I don't have as many options where to meet other people in the lifestyle (apart from www.collarme.com or www.alt.com ). Much more interesting would be to have pics of the user, not pics that the user has picked from the internet (ok, ok, an utopia, I know)
I guess this site is for people in the lifestyle to get together and share views, contact somebody, but unfortunately, pics are much more appealing than contacting others to share views and opinions. a pity.
PROFILES: what about profiles which don't say much, which don’t mention any BDSM preferences or BDSM interests for example? (not knowing whether a sub likes jazz or Italian pasta is not a problem at all) but knowing a person’s BDSM preferences and what he or she is looking for is of outmost importance. It may be an easier way to start a contact with somebody (ok, true is that any fake could lie about the interest he or she has! but what about those who without being fakes don’t mention any BDSM interest? I don’t feel like contacting them at all!!!
VIDEOS: quantity and quality of videos are two different things, being quality much more important than quantity. And by quality I mean both the good quality of the image and the good quality of the play presented in the clip. Besides, why “borrowing” (stealing?) video clips from youtube, for example? I have found wonderful video clips, easy to download, longer in duration, of better quality, and wonderful content in other sites (example: www.meninpain.com
CELEBRITY MISTRESSES / MISTRESSES WORLD CHART: perhaps for those mistresses who need to feed their egos themselves??? The more points I get the better Mistress I am?? No thanks, I pass. I prefer my slave to judge me.
BDSM POLLS: what is that!!!???? some sort of Cosmopolitan magazine survey!!!??? who cares about statistics anyway!? not serious at all to dignify this site in my view.
FORUMS: great idea, but it is the users’ participation what makes a forum interesting, it is their insight into different matters connected to BDSM, challenging questions but also challenging responses, clever responses to clever questions. Forums are for debate, for discussion, for reflection, for sharing ideas, for agreeing or disagreeing. Short stories and tales are NOT for a forum. Personal adds looking for this or that are NOT for a forum. This is a gross misconception in my view. The BDSM message board should be called BDSM FORUM.
I don’t have the solution I am afraid, but at least spotting weak points is a start.
Besides, Rome was not built overnight. Good things to happen take time. and there is alaways time to make changes.
