that link will tell you about the changes....

bisexual is not becoming a pay site, it does have a new fans of bisexual.com option for people that choose to pay for extended options but drew has done his best to leave the door open for non playing members of the site to enjoy most of the range of options that they used to enjoy for free and can still do for the most part

there is a 10 pic daily limit for non paying members.....

the proceeds of the fan club are being used to offset more advanced changes and options in the site for members to enjoy

[welickit]

Lots of people running off at the mouth about leaving. Most are still here. If you need to leave then go for it, we don't need to hear about it.

[slipnslide]

I'm not sure I've even looked at 10 pics the whole time I've had an account here.

[clyde terwilliger]

Just one profile can contain ten pictures---not disclosed as a change--not welcomed as app;ropriate

[welickit]

Here is the disclosure you didn't read. It is posted for everyone to read.

This site is different things to different people. Some use it only as a chat site, some read the forum posts, I'm sure there are still a few that read the articles, some use this as their personal blog site. For some it is a dating site. The number of posts someone has does not indicate their amount of activity on the site. If a person sees this as a dating site, they may not have very many posts, but are still very active on the site. Some may enjoy reading the posts of others, but don't feel it necessary to post replies. Drew has purposely made a website that is useful to a variety of people. But I do believe the 10 pic limit is going to hit the daters the hardest.

[Long Duck Dong]

it comes down to communication... if you are interested in people, you will make contact with them and if they are interested, they will exchange pics.......so the 10 pic limit is not going to hurt people that are interested in making contact with others..... but it will hurt the people that just want to look at pics.

if people are getting so worked up over not being able to see pics of dicks and cunts, may I suggest the internet and a search engine like google..... as I would say at a rough guess there is a few billion cock and cunt pics on the net...

and no, I am not saying it to be a smart ass.... as I have said in the past, in this site, it can take me 1 minute to find porn, it took me 4 years to find this site and the incredibly awesome people in it

[slipnslide]

I don't think they're daters, I think they're just creeping people's photos.

[jem_is_bi]

I have paid a lot more on other sites to get what I wanted.
What I got was worth much more than what I paid.
This site's pay features are cheap (at least for now).

[jem_is_bi]

Who does not do that?
I do not see that as disrespect. We post photos to be viewed by others.
While a lot of photos are just penis shots, some Photos are Wow!
Some that are Wow photos have little or no sexual content.
Some Wow photos make you smile and happy that you know such a person exists.
Also, I like penis pictures when there is somewhat more than that; especially, when somewhat is a lot more than that.
I wish I had the talent and skill to be as photographically creative as some on this site.
So, my advise to others is to creep those photos, some are great.

[Long Duck Dong]

lol jem, I fully agree... some of the most attention getting pics for me, have not been sexual.... they have been ordinary pics but spoke so much about the person..... its a shame I live in NZ cos there are some people I would have loved to meet, just for a coffee and the chance to say how much their pics really stood out to me....

[wanderingrichard]

Contrary to the "Conventional Wisdom" those of you who have signed up for the pay side have been espousing, YES it is hurting some of us. A Lot. In my case it's actually preventing me from viewing profiles at times.

Drew,
I understand you need to make money to keep the site up and running. And i know you fought very hard over the years to keep it free to members. I know you have to bite a huge bullet and what you came up with is a compromise, but the picture view throttling and the delay between posting, is doing all non paying members a huge disservice. Idon't have a clue as to how it should be fixed, but please find a way to do so.

[slipnslide]

Hasn't the throttling always been there? It's not bothering me.

Also, as a non-paying member I couldn't care less about the picture limit. Seriously? Not being able to see pictures on this web site is hurting you "a lot"? How so?

there is a compromise.... actually a couple of compromises....
1) the members could reduce the number of pics they have on their profiles but that would mean that the members themselves would have to take into consideration, the changes on the site in regards to non paying members
2) drew could make it so that non paying members could view a max of 3 pics a day per profile
3) members could make contact with the members they are interested in......

I am curious tho, does not being able to view pics, affect non paying members abilities to read profiles....???

[tenni]

"I am curious tho, does not being able to view pics, affect non paying members abilities to read profiles....???"

Probably not as much as it interferes with their sexual arousal and stroking....;)

[clyde terwilliger]

amd the cost for fan club members ?

Doesn't affect our viewing profiles at all. Doesn't affect our viewing profile thumbnails, either, just when we click a pic to view it larger, that's when the 10 pic limit kicks in. And Tenni is exactly right why so many are mad about the ten pic limit. LOL

therein lies the limit... the clicking.

you can save clicks by getting the Chrome extension called "hover zoom", or the Firefox add-on called "thumbnail zoom". Both add-ons show a full-size image when you hover over a pic. You can test it first in google images, it works very well.

(don't shoot me Drew LOL)

[welickit]

I am sure Drew won't shoot you for that...........but he might well impose more restrictions as a result of it. Some things are better left unsaid.

lol thanks (we'll see ! )

[Cherokee_Mountaincat]

The thing thats annoying at times is the 60 second pause in between answering emails messages. Some of us type fast or have limited time and need to get emails answered as soon as possible, but the 60 second wait can Really be a PITA (Pain in the ass)...and not in a good way. I dont know why this rule is in place, but I guess its there for a good cause.
You'd think someone born under two Feline symbols would have more patiance...but I dont..lol
Thats my only gripe at the moment..the 60 second thingie..:}
Cat

[DuckiesDarling]

Cat, we have always had a posting limit to prevent flooding, but not sure if it was 60 seconds or just 30. I know it came into play on both the forums and in personal messages. To me it was annoying then as I type very fast and am often posting in various threads and answering pm conversations. To be told to wait was a tiny bit frustrating but something I am used to from other forums. So type slower and savor the way the your text flows and pour the energy into it to make a person want to cum just reading it :)

[dafydd]

It's kinda creepy how people with low post counts come crawling out from the corners complaining they can't look at everyone's pics anymore.

at first I replied
"Nice one."

then I reassesed.
Maybe they are just 'visual learner's: voyeurs who get turned on by pics instead of prose. I think it's far creepier to actually write and get titilated by others writing about their sex lives as we do. Sometimes you'd think bisexuality was just a repressed fetish, if you read a couple threads here at random...
......you might find...

...endless silhouetted, anonymous posters, writing with such explosive gusto: about genitalia and secretions and getting caught, what tastes better, and if it smells, and where you'd want it, and with whom, if you could have it, as much as you liked and the fantasies of so many secret subs, all subbing and sucking; genuflecting to the cocks or cunts of only their wildest dreams.

I've never seen a gay hook-up site which comes anywhere close to the visceral descriptions of sex on some threads here: the threads that usually involve the communion ecstacy of detailing oddly specific and overly-analysed sexual fantasies. cathartism or exorcism? maybe neither,.. or both ....either way there's a palpable sense that the images and ideas in some posts were practically bursting to be let out.....

Even Recon which is a pretty hardcore S&M gay site feels tame to the mostly anonymous, furtive textual gangbanging we call home.

but...there's no place like home. And I still enjoying reading them. :) I think thats because I'm starting to love English more than sex. I can certainly keep up the writing for a lot longer.... though my punctuation isn't as good.

Posting on Bisexual.com is the perviest thing I do all week.

Isn't it most peoples'?
