Thanks Don, glad you like it. Been thinking about what people were talking about here and honestly, I don't see my board as "straight" necessarily. If there's anything it's closest to, it may be more TGP/MGP- and biz-oriented than any other, but that aside I have no problem with anything related to adult business being discussed there. In fact, I wish there were more variation there, but unfortunately no one single person has experience with everything in this industry.

Just wondering if you could recommend a good straight adult board. I wouldn't mind expanding my horizons a bit. I'm looking for a good board with minimal bullshit, and one that's going to be fairly open to gay people. And I'd prefer a board that was more business oriented than "here's a picture of my cat lying beside my dildo."

Thanks
Michael

www.askdamagex.com is no doubt the best its a friendly group and they even have a mascot tranny webmaster {Mpegmaster}thats an absolute HOOT!!
ofcoz if its 100% biz it does get a little boring thats really what makes that board fun its well balanced and moderated with exceptional professionalism.:cheerleader:

DamageX, I'm sure no offense was meant by referring to your board as a "straight" board". It may be crude for someone in the gay side of the industry to label another message board as "straight". Most of them have a good mix of both straight and gay people who post there, but the concentration of webmasters who deal in straight websites and programs is higher on those boards. For instance, if someone posted on GWW that they were looking for content and all that was said was "looking for content", then I could pretty much guess that they were looking for gay content. If I go to a board like X Nations or Rated Hot and someone just puts "looking for content" I can pretty much guess that they are looking for straight content. It's not right or wrong, it's just the nature of things.

We have a lot of wonderful straight people who post on this board and their input is extremely valuable, the same way that I feel welcome on most other boards.

Haha, it's OK, I never took it as an offense. I guess the percentage of gay and straight people working in adult would be the same as the percentage of people with these sexual preferences in any other line of work. I still find that people in this industry are, overall, more tolerant towards others' preferences than in the "real world", in lack of a better word. Then again, the huge lack of bible thumpers may be part of the reason. :D

LOL!!! You may have a point there.

Only one vote for netpond so far? I'll throw in a second. Justblowme I only tried for a brief period of time. I found some of the people to be rude and racist as hell. Besides, it wasn't easy fishing for the actual business threads, there was so much crap going around. I stayed away. GFY I can't stand because some posterts are so homophonic and racist it's not even funny.

Netpond is my "home" forum for adult webmastering. The community as a whole is liberal and tolerant towards everyone, women, gays (male and female) and trannies, and has a nice mix of webmasters to work with. It has great info, and a very active blogging forum btw.

Tigermom, Netpond is my home board too. I love that board and I love that they are very high volume because when I feel like procrastinating I want it to take awhile. :juggle:

Someone upthread questioned why some folks bother with the straight boards if you mostly promote gay porn and I know, for me, part of the reason is that the straight boards all tend to have very high post volumes and I like to read... a lot!
