now, i am aware that some people are going to hate me for saying this, however, some might agree. i cannot ignore the fact that wbw is going downhill. first there was the new layout which i never liked. tough, i thought, get on with it. then came the mercendising. now there is fucking advertising for cheap (or money point of view not so cheap) porn sites / friend finder sites. some members already mentioned the fact that noone posts serious stuff anymore.

im sorry but i am of the opinion that this site is getting worse. i appreciate that this site needs to finance itself some way or another, but is all this really necessary? it used to be my favourite site ever but now im not sure. how is wbw different to all the other, shitty sites if thinges become more commercial? it was that difference that most people liked about wbw.
i just wondered whether this is just my impression or if there are more people out there who agree with me.
btw: hate me for saying what im saying but im trying to start a serious discussion here. id very much appreciate if people dont just give bullshit comments about me, telling me to fuck off. make the efford to give your opinion instead.
thx


I'm not going to address the new version, as that's more a matter of personal taste, and everyone can't be pleased with that but as for the other points, but I'm curious about your other points...

First, are you really that put off by the WBW store offering WBW products? I really don't see how that is off putting to people, as it's just an opportunity for people to show their support for the site. It's a voluntary part of the site which you're not even obliged to visit. If you're inclined to go there and show your support for the site that's great, but it is by no means intrusive.

Second, how would you suggest financing the site, especially all the resources used by non-sponsor members, if not for ads? Ads are generally accepted as the way sites with lots of free content support themselves (Youtube, ESPN, Google, Drudge Report, etc.) The site must be at the very least self-sustaining, and that requires significant financial resources. If you have any suggestions for areas of improvement in this regard, I'm sure the owners of the site are open to alternatives.

1. everyone wants something for nothing, that will never change

2. you can't please everyone all the time, that will never change

3. it takes money to operate any business, that will never change

4. people who get something for nothing will still find something to bitch about, that will never change

Anyone getting my point, there is no way that Diz or anyone else in the world can custom tailor a web site to please everyone, so enjoy what you have or find some other way of getting what you want.

Have a wonderful day

I am happy with the new layout etc and i do agree with some peoples comments about the pages loading very slowly sometimes. I am more that happy to pay my money for the entertainment value that we all get here. If there has been anything that i have wanted to discuss with any of the WBW crew i have found them ALL very helpful, they put their time and effort into this for free. I give this site a big thumbs up and again thankyou WBW

I never knew ads had been added because I have an ad blocker so I guess they just never came up. This was the first I'd heard about it. Anyway, I do agree since the new version of WBW has come up there have been a lot of changes, some more disturbing then others but overall the site is still the same and while it takes some getting used to the only thing gauranteed in life is change and you just have to deal with it. It's still the best porn site that exists anywhere on the net and if you disagree with that statement, then I'd like to know which site you consider to be the best. Thanks for your input though. I think any discussion that's level headed and doesn't become a bitching contest is healthy for the site.

I still love the site, the adds do suck though, the fact that i can now hide the top 5 babes and movies is a good thing. If im surfing WBW and don't want ppl in my house seeing the "nude" pics i can now "get rid of them" the adds kinda defeat that purpose its just the nude add if i wanted to hide it, i cant, otherwise its gonna cost me money! btw if i had the money id be paying for a membership

I got a serious issue.

BTW, I love WBW.........all bow down. Advertisements are the way to go to keep the site free for some of us. They could have a section of monkeys masturbating and I still wouldn't complain.

An way, I use fire fox for WBW, right now I have to use AOL becasue for some reason I can't type any comments, or use my keypad at all on WBW with Firefox. this just happened today.

Second problem that I have now is the little wheel thing in the middle of the mouse (sorry to get technical on ya all).

I used to use that to scroll through the pages but now when I use it, it enlarges and shrinks the fonts on the page?

Anyone having this problem?

Can anyone help me out?

Reply back or send a PM

well, who really likes ads anyway. i dont. but i'm accepting the fact that those are here now. the management would not want to raise the sum of sponsorships to maintain this site. try to live with them. it's not that hard after all.

oh and another thing, when using firefox, ever thing I click on opens up in a new window and it never did that before
