I dream of this site growing and becoming a one-stop resource of all things fake-tits, be it discussions about surgery, indulging in porn, and checking out the incredible Star Members we have who could have a much larger pool of fans to connect with.

This was already a reality back when explicit content (porn) was allowed.  You described it best:  "A one-stop resource for all things fake-tits" - that's literally what the site was before the ban and it was magnificent.  Anyone who wanted to discuss breast implants was free to do that and anyone who came for fake boobed porn was free to do that as well.  It was amazing.  The moderators argued that by including explicit content the forum was fostering an unwelcoming environment for prospective female members and Star Members.  They envisioned the forum becoming a place where women (especially potential Star Members) could feel comfortable discussing breast implants.  Consequently, this would diversify TPB membership by increasing the amount of women (especially Star Members) and would significantly dispel the notion that the site was a predominantly male "porno forum."  According to the moderators, the original intent/vision of the forum was this "non-explicit gender neutral community" where breast implant discussion was the main focus, not porn.  Secondly, they argued that dealing with copyright infringement was a headache they could no longer tolerate because of the endless notices they would receive due to the explicit content being shared on the forum.  For me, the first argument (or, better yet, the original "vision" of TPB) is pure delusion.  Women are not coming here in droves nor will they ever as long as men can come here for fake boob sexual gratification/admiration.  A lot of these members don't care that much about breast implant discourse and just want to look at and discuss hot (sometimes naked) girls with fake boobs.  Even simple nudity is probably too explicit and enough of a barrier, in and of itself, to significantly deter any kind of major influx of female members.  If you go to the Homepage you will see a Camgirl section and a Pornstar section.  These were bustling entities prior to the ban and the Amateurs and Adult Entertainer sections don't really compare in terms of extensiveness and organization.  In fact, entire threads have been lost and, essentially, cease to exist because they were never moved and remain stagnant from not being updated.  It really is unfortunate, but the reality is that fake boobs are essentially a fetish of sorts and in that aspect the forum has very little competition.  Undoubtedly, there are other ways to get your fake boob porn fix - the internet is a big place - but trust me when I tell you that nothing beat the old TPB.  It truly was the ultimate fake boob resource.

Just a little note here: Don't think we don't read all these comments, we do. And I do like to thank you guys for staying objective when constructing your arguments.
I want something good to die for, to make it beautiful to live.

I do agree that there will be no hoards of women simply because porn is unavailable... it's an adult website and has to be to be of any use talking about boobs in a boob-taboo society.

I also think that the increased amount of people uploading and sharing pictures using shady hosters is damaging this sites reputation.
E.g. the user audax is always using crap sites that spam your browser with requests, posts and plugins.

For me the site remains interesting due to info about fake boobs escorts. But other than that it seems to have become just a reposting site of instagram images. Ok, there are special members only sections for a handful of star members, fair enough but not really interesting for me. If I just look at the star members open forums/threads, there is no difference if I check that persons insta or look here, the pic is the same. No real added value to me.

Not sure if the opinion of a small time poster, long time visitor matters much.

I did used to frequent this forum much more before the change. Since the change in policy on the forum. I seldom drop by as the forum as the threads I was interested in are effectively in limbo archives.

As a suggestion in an effort in minimize copywrite complaints, instead of the current blanket ban on all explicit content. Can we just get the first post of a thread of a girl to state 100% confirmed content that we shouldn't be posting. My only stipulation would be that the banned content would either need confirmation of the girl or the exact copywrite holder of the content in question. The current DMCA system is far too easy for any random person to have any content removed just by saying they represent someone they may or may not be affiliated with.

So the first post of a thread could state what we can post in the specific thread so posters can be clear and we don't just end up with a forum that is just reposting instagram photos. As the forum is now, I'd say it has mostly just here to ID random girls when posters post in the ID section.

While porn is everywhere, TPB forum used to be "the" place if one wanted focused threaded information on girls that sometimes wouldn't be found elsewhere on any other forum. With the change, there is little reason to visit as nothing on the threads we frequent isn't something we can find elsewhere or as posted on other forums first, then reposted here.

Thank you all for the constructive feedback.

Please report links to 'bad' hosts so we can remove them. I often don't notice them myself because of my browser setup.

I understand the impact of our new rules but i would like to ask you all to take a step back and review how 'bad' this actually is.
The only thing we did was get rid of explicit content, you're still allowed to talk about this content or tell people where to find it. There's no need for a pornstars' topic to die out because of the new rules, if she's still active you can still talk about her new releases, post pictures and videos, just cut out the explicit parts. If you must really see the girl get 'it on' i think everyone knows their way to the respective sales site or thepiratebay for that matter.

By the way, we don't simply indulge any take-down request, we make a big drama about almost every single request as they are almost always not properly filed. Some quit after just a few emails back and forth, others persist and eventually get it right.

I ignored this topic after reading it for a while when it was new.
I will simply state that I was going to post an update to an existing topic (or topics) regarding the grabbing and firmness/bounce of implants but but found all of those topics archived and read only?!

Too bad I cannot share with members something that is really NOT explicit and those topics are now considered verboten.

This read only restriction and discontinuance of threaded topics does indeed harm this site's usefulness and perhaps longevity. But thank you for the site none-the-less.

In no way is this forbidden on the forum. I don't know why the topic you're talking about is archived but then it was in the wrong place.
We announced the change well over 6 months before we archived those sections with the ability of people to report topics they wish to be moved/maintained into the maintained sections.

If you point us to the topic we will restore it to it's proper location on the forum.

Nevertheless, and I mentioned it b4 and it's not exactly a complain but I regret that there is no maintenance at all on this webside, allthough I now agree that it's a hugue task.
Links usually stay for ~ 1 month only

Every time I log onto this site and click the "Show new replies to your posts," tab, this thread appears. I'd be concerned that it was a harbinger of the site's doom, but for the fact that there are always four to five pages of new posts every time I log in. Perhaps a more apt title is, "this website is changing because the rules changed and I'm pissed off and want to vent about it." Still lots of pics, lots of topics, lots of knockers, boobs, hooters, bazongas and tiddies. To paraphrase Mr. Twain, the reports of the website's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Good call Tybalt, I've renamed the thread so it should show up a bit more friendly.
