I had questions, regarding how the content ban will effect the forums sections.
Firstly, will the content within the Nosebleed section also be deleted in accordance with the new restrictions? Also, will this effect any images users post within the confines of any other thread posts?
Secondly, If the content ban extends to images (Nosebleed), I assume there will be some notice prior to any action taken to members who post images that are no longer acceptable to the site, or are the changes only to be enforced on the Manga and Doujinshi sections? While the traffic in the nosebleed section has dropped considerably since I became a member, it is practically a ghost town, now, and I wonder if it is due to members thinking they'll be punished for uploading images that are now restricted.
Lastly, does the changeover to a pay site signal an end to the forums as a free medium? Will access to those sections only be available to paying members? Or will the forums simply cease to exist? It seems to me, that keeping the forums free would enable you to showcase your goods to possible new paying customers, while keeping the spirit of the forums community intact, and also allowing you to keep a finger on the pulse of the market's changing interests and trends.
I do not ask these things because I resent, or protest, Fakku's move to legitimacy, but I simply wish to know how the changes to this site will effect what has become a part of my daily life, even if I don't post as much as some other long-term members. To be honest, I doubt I will ever be a good enough customer to justify paying for membership just to make the occasional post, or share my favorite images with the community.
I apologize if these questions have been answered in other threads. If so, I must have missed them.
The forums should not be affected, they will remain completely open and free.
