Discussion Boards? Why?

AbbyWinters has several distinctive qualities - including:
(1) A connection between viewers and models. Playdates with direct interaction, many of which are free. Forums with frequently lengthy conversations among models and fans.
(2) A connection between viewers and administrators. Interest by the admins in feedback: what's working, what isn't, etc. Also - more candid updates from the admins as to the state and future of the website. They are available to answer questions, and even ask them at times.
These traits aren't just interesting: I believe that they may be actually unique in the pantheon of porn websites. I've certainly never seen anything like it before. The most you'll see elsewhere is a comment section on videos. It doesn't even compare.

With my over 1,500 posts on the discussion boards, I feel qualified to answer this: the boards are one of the absolute best things about AW! As sfsdfd notes, it's such a unique opportunity to chat and interact with the models and getting know them as sweet, funny, thoughtful, delightful people they are makes everything that happens in the shoots even sexier. Years ago, someone noted that only some tiny percentage of AW members ever post on the boards, and I was baffled: who would pass up the opportunity to visit the fantastic models?
I love writing reviews of the shoots letting the models and staff know how much their work is admired and appreciated, and hearing back from people about how much they enjoyed reading my words always makes me happy. More than a few models have written that they felt nervous or insecure about their shoots going online, so reading that people loved watching them and think they're beautiful is an amazing confidence boost that helps them love their body. Hearing that is so touching and humbling I can't quite put it into words. Beyond talking about the shoots, we've had so many nice conversations on here among models and members and staff about books and movies and travel and everything in between that the boards have become a tight-knit community filled with lovely people that it's always a joy to visit.
That's not to discount the kind and responsive staff who are often on here to answer questions, fix problems, give updates on upcoming shoots and other behind-the-scenes goings on. In short, the AW ethos is about real people being themselves and being treated with kindness and respect, and boards are one of them purest manifestations of that. If you never look at the boards, there's certainly an near-infinite number of things to enjoy on AW, but to me, being part of the community on here elevates the amazingness of AW to new heights. Thanks to everyone who's part of our community!

Very well put indeed.
From a model perpsective: I get a lot out of hearing what members have to say about the shoots (my own and other models' shoots too). It's really gratifying to see the hard work of the models and the shoot producers recognised and appreciated. I also enjoy hearing about the experiences of other models. I'll only ever get to meet a fraction of the models on this site, so it's really nice to be able to connect with them - we have a shared experience. I enjoy the sense of community.
I also like hearing ideas/suggestions/feedback about the site in general, and seeing how the company uses this information to improve services.

Moderation and admin costs aside, vBulletin is dirt cheap. And if the forum snags new users or keeps a few existing users around, it quickly pays for itself. Not sure how you'd quantify the benefit.
