ATM: Not Just A Money Machine...

Clay is going to start posting more. We do take your comments seriously and value your feedback. We try to make everyone happy here but it is pretty much impossible to do. We also never get any comments from the majority of members which don't even post on this message board so keep that in mind. I think Clay posting more will help.

Thank you Mark. All that I think we can reasonably ask of you to is to be at least somewhat responsive to our comments, and having Clay stop by from time to time will go a long way to make us feel like we are not speaking to deaf ears.

And I totally agree with you that it is impossible to make everyone happy all of the time. I've mentioned before that when David was producing the scenes and was very interactive with us, he would get annoyed and frustrated when some folks would ask to change something, which he may gave carried forward, and then other folks would get even more angry because the change, for we do not all speak with one voice.

I've come to understand that we are a varied group of viewers with varied tastes, and I feel that the best route to go is to offer a variety of models and types of scenes, to try to keep at least some of us happy at least some of the time. If you narrow cast to one specific type of scene, you will alienate the people who want something else.

And I also have come to understand that the majority of your membership never post on the boards, and probably never "vote" from 1-5 on the scenes. I for one am very satisfied with your response to our concerns, and am definitely very interested in hearing from Clay again. Thank you for listening and responding!

Thank you Mark! I think that's a great idea. The way I see it, Clay has two full-time jobs. He directs College Dudes and Broke Straight Boys So his time is very limited and valuable. I certainly don't expect him to live on the forum. And I hope that others won't either. Based on past history and his lack of posting, I think it's also safe to say that the forum is not one of his favorite places. Or it could be that he just plain hasn't had the time. In any case Mark, thank you for encouraging him to post.

I also hope we can dispel any notion that this is all simply about appeasing members of the forum. I see the contributing members of the forum as being on the same side of and wanting all the same things as mgmt does. The byproducts of all those goals for mgmt are trivial things like greater profitibility and job security. haha If we give feedback it's really just because we want to see the site succeed. Our comments or suggestions are given with the intent to help to keep the level of quality at, or hopefully above, that of any of the competition out there.

Thank You Mark!!​

Ditto, Tampa!

Basically I'm a placid non-confrontational person, and I could have kept my mouth shut, cancelled my membership and moved on, but I didn't because I care about Broke Straight Boys and want it to continue...

Exactly. And the forum is one of the best parts of the site. We get to meet and form friendships with people we never would have met otherwise. I would never have even known of your existence for example without this site and the forum. In that sense a porn site has enriched my life. lol Talk about irony. haha

It's a pleasure to know you Grace. And I'm very happy that you are sticking around.

Awww...thanks, Tampa.

Most of us who are involved within this thread are too Grace. However, I think we will be monitoring the situation with a careful eye - sort of under development situation. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you see it, but I like to see the goods delivered before I decide whether or not to return them.. lol

Grace, you fit right into our forum family so seamlessly, as if you were a "founding father" who's been here forever.

If you had kept your mouth shut, canceled your membership, and moved on, this forum would be worse for it. Too many former forumites have just silently dropped out, and I'm glad that you are giving the site some time to get it's act together. Even though as Mark said, the forum only represents a small percentage of overall membership, I'm sure he realizes that we are a cross section of overall membership, and what we say, many others may think, but remain silent, and perhaps not renew their memberships.

Thanks, Mike, coming from you I consider your words high praise and I very much appreciated them.

I totally agree with your comment about the forum being a fairly accurate cross section of the overall membership and I considered putting something to that effect in my response to Mark, but then I thought I better quit while I was ahead...lol

I know it probably sounds a bit corny but ... all in all it was a great team effort.

Long Live Broke Straight Boys!

That Denver is sooooooooooooo charismatic.

(And I like Ayden's new haircut--and I find
his smoking sexy! Wish I could have seen
that more.)

[And adorable Chad in his hoodie!]
