It's mostly the moderators who keep things in line.

What.  The.  Fuck.  Is.  An.  "Anti-Blushing Pill"?

By the way, I FEEL .

By the way, the rules here are that you can't post pirate video.  TV advertisements, short clips of TV shows, and video posted by the person who owns the rights are OK.  Clips of subscriber site video or specialty pay video is not permitted – unless posted to YouTube by the rights owner.

I very much like the idea of a big site totally devoted to FM stories – a place to get all the new stuff, plus a huge backlog of old stuff too.  The only question is, what about illustrations?  Would they be supported?

Yes, illustrations would be supported.  Authors would be able to upload images and then embed them as illustrations in stories.  The image would appear about 250px wide in the story (subject to my site design) and would be clickable to a larger version if the creator had uploaded one.  Eventually we would support comics.

I'm trying to figure out the scope of the thing.  Is it just FMG?  Is it just femuscle?  Is it just growth?  My inclination is to go wide – to make it an archive committed to all stories where the feminine is the powerful.  So that would be Xena fan fiction, FMG, arm wrestling stories, giantess, superheroines, whatever.  Just open it up to everybody, and have sections for both the erotic and non-erotic.

This would also open up the opportunity for content creators to sell their work, though I wouldn't launch the store until the site had a large amount of free content.

I found a good name for the site, but unfortunately it's taken.  It would have been "Thersites.com". 

According to Greek myths, Thersites mocked Achilles for his attraction to Penthesilea, the Queen of the Amazons.  I believe this makes Thersites the first guy on record to mock another guy for being attracted to a buff chick.

Achilles' rejoinder?  He beat Thersites to death.  Heh.

I'm not doing a good idea of explaining this.

Right now Amaz0ns is a great content management system (CMS) for me and a handful of people who write permanent content.  It is not a good content management system for all of you.  A forum is not a content management system.

The major reason for this shortcoming is that it's hard to create content in Joomla, which is Amaz0ns' CMS.  But imagine a site where users could create permanent, categorized content entries as easily as they create forum topics now, and where other users could comment and evaluate that content like on Digg or Slashdot.  Good content would rise to the top, bad content would sink.

What I'm looking at doing here would establish a story archive initially, but the software I'm considering using would allow users to create custom profile pages, set up their own niche user groups, etc.  I'd embed some Amaz0ns content in the site – lists of most recent posts and most recent forum topics, etc., but the essence of it would be user generated content, well organized and optimized for search engines.

I'm not looking to make people stop doing things the way they like to do them.  Amaz0ns would be largely unaffected by this.  I just feel like we're failing in keeping up the level of story quality and output that we set in the 90s.  My speculation at the causes of this are that there's no good archive site out there, and that authors are unmotivated because lurkers don't give feedback.  I may have a way to alleviate both problems.

Sorry, that's actually Survivor doing Eye of the Tiger.  Brain fart.

The story software available for this site architecture is poor.

OK.  Check just above the Forum submenu – you should see "Currently there are X Users in the chat rooms"
