Faithful PUs BTW: I think it's admirable that so many esteemed PUs are all the way from back in 2007 (registered that year) - generally five years ago - and still active. Can't believe it: I've been here for more than five years now.... What does that say? To me it's a fine tribute to this site/forum and to TBP in general - TBP who provide us all with PU. That so many have stayed on for about five years tells me, that "we've got a fine thing going". Guys, let's all keep it going - for the mutual benefit for us hopelessly devoted to porn. So thanks to the TBP/PU-team that keeps this on - and hope you do a little prosper from this/your work - you deserve it......and of course to all the fellow PUs. Another BTW: I see that nobody registered before 2007 - is that also the year you guys started this TBP/PU?

Regarding the above, allow me to praise an old PU-friend - there are a lot here, thank you - but one who helped this PU from a not-english-speaking country through problems in the beginning - all those years ago. When a little scorned and ridiculed (from - btw - no longer members here) one fellow PU took the time to help me out/support me. This is no way so called "backslapping" but a sincere thanks to The Drooler for all his help and support when this user thought: "What the heck, let me get out of here...". Today this site is to me foremost a friendly place with fine discussions and inputs - and no hostile attitudes, thanks for that....well, a little emotional, but bare with me here...

Those were some nice sentiments Denner and I agree with you. I don't think there is anything else like PU on the net. Which in many ways way is kind of sad because you'd think that we being people of different backgrounds and with varied views can have exchanges that are cordial and respectfull then why can't the rest of the people do that? I may not always agree with someone's point of view anymore than they agree with mine but we don't start throwing insults at each other. We simply try to put ou best points forward and if we can't come to a consensus then we at least agree to disagree on that subject. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

If you scroll to the bottom of the Announcements page you'll see that it was in January of 2007 when we beta-tested and then launched PU. TBP was launched in 2003 so it was a well established site when the PU "extension" came about. The PU forum didn't start until March of 2008. We, like you are happy to see so many long term, valued users who contribute to PU being the special poace that it is.

I always forget that the forum wasn't around from the beginning. I know I stalked the site for quite a while before deciding to join. I suppose I wanted to be sure that it would have the momentum to keep going. It has indeed become a pretty sturdy and friendly community  "I'm not a number, I'm a free man!"Second Grand Order Poobah in the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo | |

Don't see a "high-five" Smiley insert to devote to Drooler's thoughtful support, back when you needed it and he was there. But short of that, I'd like to contribute a hearty  and heel-clicking-show-of-respect-salute for his loyalty, his PU longevity, and generally for being the good-will trooper that he is.As to the warm sentiments by denner that went into this thread, I'd like to throw in my vote of appreciation for his taking the time, and producing the effort to give us this historically, thought-provoking message. | |

As usual I agree with Denner. Like Toadsith I watched for about a year before deciding to join, and am glad that I did, although I am a relative newbie, having joined in late 2008. I am a little worried about PU surviving in the current financial climate. I have to admit I have been thinking PU may close its doors this year or next, but would love to be wrong. The life of most forums is very short indeed, and I hope this one continues. It is indeed good fun, and has a great cross section of characters, who although clearly very different, are also incredibly civilized. Members here can agree to disagree without getting angry. Not many forums around you can say that about. I think it was BadAndy who put his finger on the reason. We have accepted the fact we love porn, and are unapologetic about it. That means we are at peace with ourselves. Edited on Jun 23, 2012, 06:39pm | |

I have been a member of PU since 2007 and of this forum almost from the beginning and it is my only social networking site because of its civility. There have been a couple of posts that made me angry over the years but only because of their subject and never because I thought anyone was being insulted or attacked. I was all too used to see regular flame wars when I was still a member of the usenet and posted in various groups over a long period of time, so this came as a pleasant shock and has made this my home away from home. It could be that this civility indeed originates in the fact that "we have accepted that we love porn and are unapologetic about it" as the squirrel put it, but it could also be because we are in a minority. A friend of mine once told me "I love to be around smokers because they, as a group, are far kinder and more tolerant of other people's failings because everybody looks down on them nowadays!" Maybe because society at large still looks down on us and on porn this might have made us more understanding and patient as well, who knows?! All I know is that I am happy to know all of you. Thanks, Brother Denner, for bringing up the subject. | |

I have refrained from comment as a relative late-comer to the party. Whilst I agree with most sentiments expressed on this thread,I could not let that spark of negativity  pass without comment.Yes, many fora do come and go, some fade away, some go super nova, others redecorate in order to attract new visitors. Whilst it does have its quieter times, the one we have here is still pretty vibrant & near unique in its civility & tolerance. Long may it continue! Cap'n.

There aren't many people, it seems, who just don't speak ill of others. I've met a few, and Denner is one of them. I think the world would be a far better place if it were populated by such folks. Of course, that would mean the end of me. LOL I also admire people who take on the challenge of communicating in a language they're not fully skilled at and who keep at it through the thick and the thin, through the highs of success and the lows of confusion and even the very low of painful alienation from ridicule. Obviously, this takes courage and patience; both are great virtues. Anyway, that's why I pitched in for Denner. He was doubly stressed, I thought, unable by his own nature to throw the stone and unsure about how to throw it even if he could. So Denner, you'll understand my reason for the following is simply to be helpful. "Bear with me here" is a way of asking another person to be patient and keep listening to all you have to say. Note the spelling. "Bare with me here" is what you might say having found yourself in the private company of your favorite model, at a time when patience has lost all of its virtue.

Hi, just seen this thread, i can't believe its been over 5 years for me to here, I'm a regular and try to get back to the forum when I can, I've had little breaks here and there from porn but do love it here and respect lots of the forum members and their opinions, its great to have an honest community not sale talk and constant hassle from sellers and stuff and just people writing and commenting about the world of porn. Not really been joining any site for a while and appreciated my collection and looking over what I have but treated myself this month to sweetheartvideo.com network and today ftv and nubiles 2 for one deal, I couldn't resist, I'm a lot more picky though these days on what to actually get and ask myself would I ever watch this or would I like to see this girl more than once if no I just don't bother, I've had loads of sites where I downloaded loads so its nice to be more subjective. Heres to another 5 years here I hope, and to everyones good health. "Women are like tricks by sleight of hand, Which, to admire, we should not understand." WILLIAM CONGREVE | |

I definitely agree with the the opinions in this thread. TBP and PU are excellent resources, and PU is an excellent forum for sharing an unusual 'hobby' with like-minded people. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, the civility on this forum is unlike anything else I've seen on the 'net. I browsed through the member list and sorted it by join date, and it appears that the earliest member who is still active is elephant, who may be the 167th person to join the site. I joined in July of the first year and was surprised to see that I was member #1234. I assumed that I would have been a lower number than that, so that demonstrates how popular the site was (and still is). I'll admit that there are some stretches where it doesn't seem like there is much going on around here, and at those times I start to worry about the site's future. But then things pick up again. My hope is that this site remains around and active for many years to come. | |

As a ... well sort of... babe in the woods I have to congratulate you "older dudes" for finding this place back in 07 and making it the kind of place we like to hang around. Your willingness to put up with us new guys and treat us well says a lot about what you've kept going. Thanks! If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee.

^Being one of the old fart from the very beginning then let me first say thank you to all the other members that came after us and a double thank you to all of those that stayed. I may not have said it but your participation in this forum and on the site is always appreciated. I know that we lost some really great reviewers and posters over the years but we gained some just as great if not better. Long live the Brown Coats. | |
