    It does appear to me that the whole FAQ/info pages... needs to be thrown away and started again. There is so much in there that is obviously no longer relevant and seems to cause problems. I thing Jackson quoted the update schedule the other day which was nothing like the current one or as Frankie said "Schedule is going to stay as it has been for the last 7 months." Just saying... as it seems to not only cause at least this complaint but also adds to the ammo of those that say they are no longer getting what they signed up for.

      G'day there Mr. Pinkeyes, nice to finally meet. A big Hello to everyone else, too. My name is Brent, and I'm the new Customer Support Officer here at AWHQ.

      Anyhow, yes Pinky, you're right; the FAQ pages need a fair bit of work- now I'm here to do just that (among other things). I'll get on overhauling them shortly (probably next week).

        I have not had good experiences with women in my past due to my upbringing so I dont like to see guys and girls f**king. Thats just me.
        Thats why I prefer girl solo masturbation or girl on girl.

          Welcome to the boards and to AW... Brent... Good luck with the new role I'm sure it will be varied and challenging but/and also rewarding.

          Now.. quick questions... hope you don't mind.. of course you don't... Customer is always right... Right??? haha
          So have you worked for a "porn" sight before or a you from a "normal" haha Customer support background? Are you taking over from or working with Lep??? and are you based at AWHQ? I'm sure I read somewhere that Lep was based off site.. In the US maybe... Not that it actually makes a big difference except sitting at your desk watching beautiful models and staffers walk past all day must be much nicer if not slightly distracting

            I was considering asking my boyfriend to do a b/g set with me for AW but it looks like they aren't too popular?
            He would only consider it if his face wasn't shown anyway so I guess it limits the shots and angles...
            He is also an older guy (not toned or buffed) so I guss it would have a more 'normal bloke' feel to it.

            unless maybe people would be interested in a 'point of view' boy/girl shoot where you are seeing out of his eyes and never see his face????
            just an idea.. what do you think?

              Pippa, some people are a bit more vocal on not liking girl/boy shoots but lotsa other people do like them. If not AW wouldn't do such shoots long term I'm not sure AW can do girl/boy shoots without showing your friends face. Would be a weird before/after shoot video But seriously, ask Kylie.. she's the expert both shoots scheduling and doing such a shoot, 'cos she did one .

                I like the 'No penises' filter. Thanks for putting that there.

                Comment


                  People are always more vocal about what they don't like, I believe "figures" show that girl-boy is actually quite popular (don't ask me to prove that, it's just hearsay).

                  Although, as Matt says, it's really good that we've finally got the option to hide it from members who don't want to see it (just as members who don't subscribe to all 3 sections can choose to hide the stuff they're not interested in) as I can imagine seeing a penis while in your "happy place" could certainly kill the vibe.

                    It's a bit strange that all of a sudden, a lot of the boyfriends of the models have agreed to do a B/G shoot here. I would think that only a small percentage of the guys would be brave enough or even want to be on a porn site. And, in addition to that, with the presence of cameras and crew, I figure that some might get stage fright and not be able to perform (get it up). Very surprised that hasn't happened.

                      Dear People
                      If everybody just watch the things they like to see,there would not be any discussion.
                      I am a member of all sites, I prefer girl/girl and im. so I enjoy them so much.
                      I absolutely do not like boy/girl,so I just do not watch ,for those who do I wish you a lot of pleasure.
                      I t is just as simple as that.
                      I wish you all a pleasant day and good health and enjoy the things you like

                        I can assure you that stage fright certainly happened in Marcus and my girl-boy shoot. If you did watch our shoot, you'll notice that there's a LOT of oral sex which (I believe) is more of a strong physical sensation than normal penetration and it pretty much guarantees that there'll be a response. We were also invited to take breaks throughout the shoot day and even stopped for a shower to take the pressure off. All the guys are only human, so under that much pressure it would take an ungodly amount of self-confidence to not let the lights, camera and the two ladies shooting play on your mind.

                        I'd say the % of models who have partners of some kind (casual, boyfriend, husband, on-again-off-again) is quite high, around maybe 90% (this is just what I've gathered from conversations, not hard data) but the % who actually want to go ahead and do a girl-boy shoot is much lower, and the ones who go through with it after the info session is even lower again.

                        I'd say the boys all model for different reasons, just like the girls do. But modelling for abbywinters has an effect on people, and many of our models have probably spent hours on end raving to their partners about how fun it was, how sexy they felt and how awesome the Model Liaison is. (Ok, ok, maybe not so much that last one... ) - after all that, I can see why they'd wanna give it a go.

                          Hi spartaa,

                          The biggest problem for me was the fact that the models are shot with their real-life partners - it's like finding out the pretty girl you've been eyeing up all evening has a big strapping boyfriend and they're about to get it off in front of you.

                          That's why I find them hard to ignore.

                            Hi MattA1

                            I see what you mean, I just do not buy that real-life story.
                            Just think the site is slowly changing,for instance in the girl-girl shoots toys are coming up, and the boy-girl shoots are suddenly coming up faster/
                            No problem for me,but I think it si going to be x-art or something like that.

                              understandable - just wanted to make sure you're aware of the new "no penis" option in Prefs now?

                                Not sure what we can do to prove it, though I think the energy in the scenes makes it pretty clear these people did not meet on set five minutes before the shoot started! Tho, we do not ask models for "proof" of their relationship, either, so I guess they could be tricking us with one-night-stands? Anecdotally, that's not the case, and like all models, the men in GB shoots attend an "info session" to learn how it all works, and that happens weeks (or even months) before the shoot itself occurs. I think Kylie'd notice if there was a ring-in!

                                Just think the site is slowly changing, for instance in the girl-girl shoots toys are coming up, and the boy-girl shoots are suddenly coming up faster. No problem for me,but I think it si going to be x-art or something like that.
                                I think you're right, the site is changing slowly, as it always has - "evolving", I call it. We try things, and if they are successful, we keep them. If they are not, we ditch them (or change them, so they are good). We define success largely by feedback from members (not the loudest members, necessarily!), but also what's in line with our vision for the site, especially Frankie as the Creative Director, and also what's profitable, and what's frictionless.

                                There is a GG shoot with toys coming up. It's our first in 231 GG shoots over 12 years, so I think it's a bit early to call it a trend. It's sure to polarise members, as many changes do. It's very unlikely to start a trend of GG shoots with toys, as I (and Frankie) see that as a cornerstone of our "paradigm". But, we all like to try new things occasionally, right?

                                I think x-art's stuff looks amazing technically, but I personally dislike how dispassionate the models are, they seem to be "phoning it in" most of the time. Their site is phenomenally successful commercially, apparently. In the next few months we will try shooting some content with DSLR's as x-art (and more and more other sites) do, instead of the video cameras we use now.

                                Since about December 2011, we have been releasing one GB shoot a month. We do not plan to change the rate of those updates currently, but like pretty much everything, nothing's set in stone. I think the the no-penis preference should pretty much make it irrelevant to anyone who does not like GB shoots.

                                  Think the "no penis" option is an excellent idea for all those like me that don't won't to see them flashing up on my screen... However, I won't be using it... for now anyway, as my interest (aka nosiness) to know what's going on defeats my dislike for seeing a penis on the AW members homepage. But now I will not be able to complain about it.

                                  Yes... it's not easy being in this mind of mine...

                                    Just a couple of comments from one of the loudest members.

                                    First of all, for the first time in my life I googled x art and clicked onto their home page. It is no doubt "technically amazing", as you say, but to me it looks like straight down the line professional porn: skinny girls with body makeup that makes them look like blow-up plastic dolls, faces that have no more expression than a plastic doll, threesomes, the lot. There's a call for that sort of stuff, but not from the typical member of this site. So I'm glad you don't think it's the way to go either.

                                    Second comment, you know the membership figures and I don't, but the "evolution", as you call it, seems to be taking the site more and more in the direction of the standard commercial porny stuff. Lots of professional models. Girl-boy. Pee in every second solo. We're about to get a podcast on "squirting", apparently, as if that's some sort of achievement. Toys in a GG? Well, if that's all there were, and it only happened occasionally, no problem, but it seems to be part of the trend. Guerrilla shoots? Waste of time and energy and just another porn industry fashion.

                                    I'm interested in what you say about "feedback", not necessarily from people like me. But I don't think I'm the only one who's noticed the trend towards and commented adversely on it, and there have been far fewer comments in favour of it. BG shoots seem to have divided opinion fairly equally, but I haven't noticed an avalanche of applause about more pee or the shoots that have a planned scenario or script, or professional models.

                                    Anyway, you won't have this loud member for much longer unless you can find more models like Inga and Bea and do more shoots like theirs, in which case I may resubscribe. I do sincerely wish you all the best. I was going to say that I hope you can find a way to re-create the magic of the Abby Winters of the late 2000's, but re-creating something like that is impossible. So instead I hope that you create a new magic in Amsterdam. I know you'll say that that's exactly what you're trying to do with the changes that you've introduced, to which my answer is that I think it's exactly the wrong way to go about it. But it's your site, not mine, and maybe you're right and I'm wrong. Good luck.

                                      Hello, at first about the girl-boy shoots, as you say one shoot in a month and real life couples.

                                      I am very curious how many models you have, who s partners are willing to do it in front of the camera.

                                      I am a member for six years now,and have seen ( in my opion ) the site change from unique into excellent, and now going into the direction of standard ( toys and boy/girl).
                                      Do not get me wrong, I do not want to be only negative ,just a little worried.
                                      I am a loyal member and will stay so.

                                      Comment


                                        I know this is not the right thread for this question... but it's been mentioned in the last two posts....

                                        Why do people not want toys in Girl/Girl shoots??? I quite like it and if the result if a nice "O" for the model/models then YAY.

                                        I would draw the line at strap-on's but that is a personal hang-up of mine, I just don't like them... Not sure if it's the more "porn" factor or part of my Boy/Girl dislike... I can't give a logical reason for it.

                                          Whew, sorry It took so long to get back to you there, Pinky. Not a good sign for a Customer-service-agent-in-training; Garion has a very 'hands-on' management style and I've been pretty flat out in training (so much so I missed your reply completely).

                                          But yes, it has been a varied and interesting challenge.

                                          Now..
                                          Alright.
                                          quick questions...
                                          Uh...
                                          hope you don't mind..
                                          Well..
                                          of course you don't...
                                          ...
                                          Customer is always right...
                                          >_>
                                          *looks over to Garion*
                                          Right???
                                          Right!

                                          So have you worked for a "porn" sight before or a you from a "normal" haha Customer support background?
                                          I'm a normal. Though more from sales and debtors than customer service.
                                          Are you taking over from or working with Lep???
                                          Working with. CS is only part of what I'm doing- I'm also here to help with affiliate marketing.
                                          and are you based at AWHQ?
                                          I am.
                                          I'm sure I read somewhere that Lep was based off site.. In the US maybe... Not that it actually makes a big difference except sitting at your desk watching beautiful models and staffers walk past all day must be much nicer if not slightly distracting
                                          Yeah... not too much of a difference... >_>

                                            haha... Thanks Brent.. I'd forgotten all about my post but glad I have my answers...

                                            Very challenging role then by the sounds of it.... Does that mean when we see "Friends" filling up we will know that you are doing a good job... ATK is looking a little lonely in there... Does look like AW has lost quite a few "friends" over the last couple of years... (ohhh poor Abby...) I'm sure, by memory, there was a double sided page full (and small font) of websites. I'm sure you will have it looking full again in no time.

                                              For me personally I don't like girl/boy stuff. It's me and the girl/s...I don't want a guy in my fantasies.

                                              Comment


                                                Glad to see under my account preferences that I can avoid "the penis". I don't subscribe to AW for the boy / girl shoots. It's all about the women for me. There is plenty of other hetero stuff out there for those who are seeking it. AW is the only site I subscribe to and would rather see more frequent releases of girl / girl videos than the current "every Friday".

                                                  Yes! More friends! That'd be good. Abby can be a bit introverted; it's about time she get out and play.

                                                    Pinky, i think you mean our LINKS page? (http://www.abbywinters.com/about/links). The Friends page has only ever had ATK on it, but Brent's working to get more on there.

                                                      Garion, I think you are correct.... I did mean the links page... or more to the point I mistakenly thought they were the same thing.

                                                      So the Friends page is new... I gather since the "VOD" or whatever it was called section was introduced... BTW... What is the current status of that, if you don't mind me asking??

                                                      Did the links page use to be easier to find or maybe I haven't looked at it since before the forums stopped being blue...

                                                      Never saw the Tag merging rules thing either... I really need to get off the forums and looking at the wonderful models and go back and check out the New Site Guide... see what else I have missed

                                                      Thanks Garion....

                                                      Pinky.... Going back to Abbyland 101...

                                                        hey pinky,

                                                        I think you mean "pay per scene", where people can buy individual scenes, instead of time-based subscription? That's coming back shortly, and we'll be placing it as an option right beside the monthly options on the join page.

                                                        Tag merging rules is new! it works, but not fully as intended yet - final fixes will go live next week, then I'll launch it, and let everyone know how it works.

                                                        Comment


                                                          Garion, Once again, I think you are correct.... I did mean "pay per scene"...

                                                          Now will go back to my corner and let those wanting to talk "boy girl shoots" the floor.

                                                            Could someone enlighten me as to why shooting hetero scenes is in any way tied to loosing uniqueness?
                                                            And on the other side: there are PLENTY of girl only sites on the web.
                                                            99,99% are a complete waste because of obvious reasons (gay for pay et.c.).
                                                            How is shooting authentic girl/boy scenes where both partners are fully into it and are really enjoying themselves NOT unique?

                                                            When I want to watch girl/boy movies it's really tough to find any of use (other than homemade), because mainstream is doing nothing to me.
                                                            Seeing that both models are really into each other and they are both enjoying it, feeling the passion is what makes this hot for me and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
                                                            REAL LIFE couples! OMG, this IS amazing!
                                                            Now how is that not unique in the porn industry?
