Request for a change on home page! Even though I referred to us as "pervs" in another thread I honestly don't believe that a lover of erotic material is a pervert. Within the category of erotica itself you can be a pervert when it comes to certain niches but generally speaking I think the word is not justified, not if 99% of the male heterosexual population love to ogle beautiful women. Or if gays like to ogle male bodies. Therefore I humbly request that the caption on our home page: "Welcome to Porn Users! Giving a voice to perverts around the world" be changed to something more appropriate like "lovers of erotica" or whatever your fertile mind can come up. Humbly submitted this fourteenth day of March, 2011.  | |

Where exactly is that caption? I can't seem to find it.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

When I first joined up I thought that the little catch phrase you mentioned was sort of funny. I agree that it is getting a bit stale and probably not best suited towards a business that ranks as high as it does (in conjunction with TBP) on web searches and the like. How about Rick putting together a contest to come up with a new PU slogan with some funky prize(s)? That could be fun. | |

Well, you can't any more. As it seemed to bother some users, Rick changed it this afternoon. It now reads: "Welcome to Porn Users! Where porn consumers tell all." Hopefully that won't offend anyone.

Oh, I guess I can see why that could be considered a prominent place, but it still took me a few minutes to find the new phrase. No wonder sites always get us on the fine print! To be honest I was quite proud of the pervert label, but I guess not everyone shares my definition of pride. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Sheesh, I didn't want to set any wheels of change in motion. The post was meant tongue-in-cheek! I don't mind if anyone calls me a pervert!  Maybe I should have used more smileys. I thought one was enough. I must admit, though, that I was hoping to get a conversation going with this particular post! It's been too quiet lately! | |

I also always found the pervert line funny, and I didn't quite get the tounge-and-cheek aspect of your original post, perhaps you are right and more smileys would have helped, or perhaps I'm just not the humorous sort... Things change fast these days, just look at those folks at NPR. Bunny Lebowski: I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars. Brandt: Ah hahahahaha! Wonderful woman. We're all, we're all very fond of her. Very free-spirited. | |

That's just it: I did find the line funny. It's my post that apparently wasn't. I guess it's my Teutonic heavy handedness.  | |

Well, in fairness, we also looked at an old poll question that ran in Feb of 2008 ... With regards to the phrase ... "Giving a voice to perverts around the world" Do you consider yourself a pervert? FWIW, I didn't catch that you were kidding in your initial post. What the hell ... good to change things around a little now and again, eh?

Messmer, demonstrating the power of the humble request. Wow! I didn't catch the tongue-in-cheek intention of your post, but a lot of people don't catch my attempts at humor either. I didn't mind the now banished caption, but that was partly because PU members are basically anonymous. I certainly wouldn't appreciate friends and neighbors calling me a pervert in public as a joke. | |

Well, in all fairness to you, I don't blame you or anyone else for not catching the kidding. Trouble is in the first part of my post I was mostly serious because I had the desire to see others in this group discuss the term "perv," and what it meant to them ... and did they consider themselves to be perverts for their love of porn and then, only after that, came up with the "tongue-in-cheek" request to have a (to me) funny line replaced. I thought the "humbly request" and smiley would make it clear that I wasn't being serious .. but as I said .. I was too heavy handed and obscure. I freely confess it because others also didn't see the levity behind the request. So, do you (everyone) consider yourself to be a pervert just because of your love of porn. I, personally, don't! OTOH, forget it, I just took a look at the poll you mentioned. I had forgotten all about it! | |

That was fast. I must say I wasn't offended by the phrase but just sort of thought it could use some sprucing up (maybe "fluffing up" would be more appropriate). Apparently our senior leaders are seeking to prevent civil unrest, rioting and potential overthrow and are attempting to appease us peons with a new slogan to chant while we toil away in the porn mines.  | |
