Points to Ponder...
« on: December 30, 2011, 12:20:55 AM »
Just some points to ponder before you post something stupid here, as that tends to get people on the ban list in a hurry.

Point one is very simple so anyone should be able to understand it.  This forum is under control of the staff here not the general public.  And as such think carefully before you post something that is intended to piss someone off because that is usually what happens and if it does we don’t have a lot of patience with it.

Point two is simple also.  This forum features teen models only.  And while not every girl you see here may still be under the age of 18 they all were at the time that any of the photographs you see here or on the sites we feature here were taken.  Sorry guys but they can’t stay young forever, they all have to grow up sometime.  So if you see them somewhere else on the internet doing adult work then they have grown up and decided to move on into that kind of work.  But each and every photograph you will find here or linked to from here was taken before their 18th birthday.

Point 3 is not so simple but I will be as brief as I can.  Every photographer here works with teen models.  Anyone who has, or has had, or knows someone who does have a teen daughter knows these are not the most reliable creatures on the planet.  They are easily sidetracked by little things like having fun, boys, anything that happens every 5 seconds on their cell phone and many other distractions.  And so things happen and sometimes updates are late or a site has to close unexpectedly and it is beyond the photographer’s control.

I have worked with every webmaster and photographer here for many years now and have heard every detail of most of the problems they deal with daily.  Some of the stories Jimmy alone can tell you just about dealing with the models or perspective models will make you wonder how he managed to stay sane for over 10 years now doing this work.  And unlike Hollywood you can’t bind these models with contracts that force them to work or buy insurance if they bail out or do something stupid and can’t complete a project so you don’t lose your investment.  Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and you hope the win side comes up more often so that you can make enough to keep going.  And keeping that in mind also sometimes a site is flush with a lot of models and sometimes they are trying to hold things together with only 2 or 3 while they work to find more.

Good points as I think we (the general public) forget.

Hope next year is a good one for you and everyone else.
