Hi. Right now we have two sections where are very similar. I'm trying to tidy up the site. Would you have an issue if we merged
Gay Websites -- Gay Adult Websites
and
Gay Photos and Videos -- Gay Photos and Videos
Into one big Gay Porn section?

Let me know if you mind and why. Thanks.

What's the difference between the two ?

Gay websites produce gay photos and videos

I'm confused as to why they aren't already merged into 1 big section :/

Why not add gay photography if there is such a thing to the section too

Talk about creating more hassel and work for yourself @Mr. LPSG and the mods

This should be done with the straight and transgender and bisexual and whatever else section there is :)

Hope your doing well ?
@Mr. LPSG hopefully your not being flooding

That is exactly what I'm wondering :)
Exactly

Why not group everything together into relevant sections all the gay stuff in one section, all the straight stuff into 1 section, all the transgender stuff into 1 section, all the bisexual stuff into 1 section, and everything else into other sections :)

Less hassle and more easier to navigate and find relevant content when it all sections and sub sections

Oh god my inner OCD cleaning persona is coming out :joy::joy::joy::joy:

It would be wonderful if we could post in ANY section. As long as it is adding to conversation in a positive way -:)

Would it all be in one section/forum or would it be together but have sub-forums? Because I feel like while it's a good idea, it may cause some issues because some will post pics/videos/gifs and others will want to know where to find that actor who the actor is but can't because they got it from reddit, tumblr, etc

I like how almost 40% of the votes are 100% against and no solid reasoning why given as a comment.

I couldn't care less honestly. I don't see what issues would arise by just having one section. The threads in each section could conceivably be posted in either one. I'd be more concerned with individual topics and staying on thread, but that's another subject entirely.

The way things are now, if you find a thread you like then follow it so you can find it easily the next time. I don't think there is enough activity between the two sub-forums to cause it to become a mess like the celeb forum is, where if you don't check it for 8 hours you have 20 pages of threads to look through.

The only issue I have is the speed with which threads are created, particularly in the Gay Photos and Videos forum, merging the 2 would make for a very cumbersome forum where anything posted is lost very quickly to pages never to be visited again!

Is there anyway of increasing the number of individual threads shown per page, that would so someway in mitigating the inconvenience?

I just made two changes regarding this.
- Posts per page increased from 20 to 25
- Threads per page increased from 20 to 35

Let me know what you think of it.

Thanks for doing that. It helps but I would say that there are over twice as many posts per day on Gay Photos and Videos than on Gay Websites, so the potential for threads to just disappear down the list and on to page 2 is much greater.

That being said, do people really actually follow the guidelines for what each of those separate boards should be about? Probably not, ultimately does it matter?

So that's why the number of pages went down on my story thread. I've been scratching my head wondering what was going on.

Back to the topic at hand, though. I am against the merging.

Although the content is similar, it's not the same.

If I want to look at pictures/gifs, I want to go to that thread. If I want to watch videos, I want to go to that thread.

I DON'T want to scroll through page after page after page of topics I don't want to see. If I am in the mood for a video, I don't want to scroll past 10, 20, 40 topics of pictures to find the first video topic.

Same with the Pictures. I don't want to scroll past page after page of video links.

Keep them separate. It's like going to the grocery story. They have an aisle dedicated to coffee. Then they have an aisle dedicated to "beverages." But they don't mix the two. They also have an aisle dedicated to bread, even though they have a bakery.

I could use numerous analogies for the same reason.

So, again, no.

Would prefer these to stay in two threads.

People already flood photos onto pages which are for links and wading through pages of photos to look for links is a bit of a task already.

But thank you for the positive changes you are making to LPSG :)

This is my though as well. People already don't follow the rules, and there isn't enough staffing to even begin to attempt to enforce it, which is why I voted that it really doesn't matter.

Instead of combining them, how about rearranging the groups in a different manner? A straight section that includes Ask a Straight Man, Straight photos and Videos, and Straight Adult Websites. The same thing for Gay, Bi, and Trans, then an Everything else section that could include the models & celebrities, fictitious stories, and web personalities. Personal Ads and Webcam / Cyber connections could be one forum, or maybe there could be a gay personals, straight personals, trans, etc under the previous sections.

So many possibilities. It's early, I haven't had enough coffee and I'm rambling.

I agree... We all usually on each given day have a desire to look a thread for a particular content.

I do agree in some ways that the two are very similar, but I think they are distinctly different enough to warrant two different sections or become a hybrid section.

The “adult websites” section is more porn orientated where guys share their favourite videos or websites they get off to.

The “photo / video” section tends to be dominated heavily by pictures and each thread tends to have a theme.

That’s just my opinion anyway.
