good points i hadn't thought of what i meant about not liking porn is not liking the cheap stuff you find online with the girls and their boobs that have been re done hundreds of times and the cheap single camera angles where you can here the camera guy moaning in the background. that sort of stuff is what i meant i didn;t like you know the stuff in the ads dare dorm and happy tugs i feel a community like this one which prides itself in not being porn could pull off some very well made adult entertainment flicks with the right funding.
Key word there being funding, lol. I'm not a big watcher of porn, but it doesn't seem to be one of those genres that has good funding opportunities. The last thing we'd want would be for it to descend into exactly the kind of thing you want to avoid.
Just hypothetically exploring the idea (as someone involved in indie film making myself), your suggested figure of $8 a month as a subscription fee, even with a subscriber base of 1000 members who are willing to pay for extra features, would still only generate $100,000 a year, which would still count as low budget for a single feature length film (or two or three short films).
Perhaps external investors could be attracted to back a film making endevour, but they would only do that if they could see the the potential profit, which would potentially mean more of Lush would have to be monetised in order to meet their demands and then it would be goodbye free liberal community.
Do you see the community members being involved in the film making process? This could be tricky in itself given the geographical spread and different rating and criminal/tax laws in different countries.
And Dude, chill, we're just debating the idea, I didn't think he was defensive in the slightest there, quite the opposite. He conceded my points and made another of his own. That's how a discussion works ;)
If someone wants to post a video of a story, act it out yourself - put it on youtube and post it to your profile. That is what the added features are there for. Ans as for the chat rooms, the ones here at Lush are the best. You can have your own private room. Can't do that for free anywhere else I know of... I vote to keep the ads. They are a necessary evil and serve their purpose.
That was the best movie preview I have ever seen!!! I want more more more!
Seriously? Nooo thanks, if your ideas have been removed, why keep posting more along the same lines bigguns?![http://www.lushstories.com/stories/reluctance/the-night-that-changed-my-life-1.aspx][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WPPsy.jpg[/IMG][/URL]](https://www.lushstories.com/stories/reluctance/the-night-that-changed-my-life-1.aspx][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/WPPsy.jpg[/IMG][/URL]){kind=link}
