Reading through this draws me to one conclusion: There is and always has been a fine line between critiques (that can be constructive) and outright "bashing" of models on the site. David the first "producer" made the right appeal way back in 2008 when he requested: "Lets try to keep this thread clean without "bashing" models...".
Critique them, YES, but any outright, cruel "bashinig" is truly distasteful. I've entered the forum less frequently in the past 10 days because I have found the treatment somewhat severe. I have posted even less frequently in that time trying to get my entertainment from viewing the scenes and signing off. This "old thread" was interesting in that it demonstrates model "assessment" by members has always been an aspect of posts. Everyone can say whatever they are moved to state on here. But outright bashing is just plain going too far in my eyes.
I guess it depends on the individual and how they react to certain things that are read over all. I relate to exactly what you're saying Ertas23; I've enjoyed the forum for a while and now, I find when the "atmosphere" get's a bit uncomfortable for me...I take a break. I come to the site for my entertainment from viewing scenes by downloading them, then sign off to watch them at my leisure off site. "It's like I come to the Buffett, fix my plate, and take it to another room, free of distractions, to consume and enjoy it". I totally feel what your saying.
But, an interesting observation I've made is; the forum conversations over the 7 or 8 years tend to be cyclic. Same or similar conversations play out over and over again, with different input from different participants.....and of course,...different models.
