    New Members and Lurkers!!!

    Hopefully, we can get the attention of the new members and lurkers that just haven’t decided to jump on the threads for various reasons.
    As a returning member (been in and out but finding myself back again), I could see the threads being somewhat intimidating with the discussions going back and forth with the staff/models/moderators, and even the copy write guy, Rainbow.
    So if you have a chance to read this thread, please don’t think we are all cliquey and jumping in is hazardous. “Ohhh contraire” as Casgrain would say. Believe me, the models and the established members here very much welcome new input!
    And yes, things can get heated, but we are all friends.
    We need new blood in here to get our eyes wide open. Remove the horse blinders as per say. If you should feel a little hesitant on what to post, Vid Dude and Luxman are the best advice you could ask for. Sometimes even Abby jumps in herself.
    If your English is not as good as you feel comfortable with, post anyway.
    We can be helpful and maybe we can both learn something!
    All that anyone asks for is respect, so it is fairly simple!

    Well said RT, it'll be great to see more members posting and getting more opinions and feedback.

    Also, I just love a great chat

      As Valerie pointed out to me, there is something some new members should know.

      If you have been a member of the site for a while, but never posted to the boards, then your automatically created Boards Account will have been deleted.

      This was done so that we don't have unused accounts cluttering up our database forever more.

      That means if you have been trying to log in, and it doesn't work, all you need to do is email me using either the site feedback form here, or the Contact Admin form here, remember to include your Account details, like username or Subscription ID, and I will re-create the account for you using your current logins.

      Occasionally there are other issues that may be preventing you from logging in, so it's best to provide as much detail as possible so we can determine what is actually going on.

        It doesn't hurt that so many of the chatters of late have been lovely young women.

              Yeah, Come on in, new members!

              Of course the first question we all all have is, Where's the pics and vids of all the girls? Then when we catch our breath a bit (be warned: it may never return entirely to normal here) we might begin to wonder, Who are all these other people around here? Wanna start with the woman who owns and envisioned all this? That's Abby, here. Then, on the right hand side of that page is a list, "Meet the Team", of the amazing staff who bring their own considerable creativity to keep it all going and growing (and believe me, it does). Like Beatrice, Millie, and Vid Dude who, among many, many other things, do a splendid job of keeping that first question answered for us on the Member's Home Page. If you're totally new to the sight the best place to start is "newbies start here" (go up to the top of this page you're reading and point to the "HOME" menu, it's the 4th one on the drop-down list). There's a link to Abby's page there, too.

              As for us on the boards, you can find out a lot about us here, where we can go and introduce ourselves. Needless to say you're most welcome to add your own revelations and - Presto! - YOU'RE one of "these other people around here" or, as Jo, our resident Creative Goddess (yep, we got one here - she's Joanne on the Team list) calls it, the Wonderful Community. And no, as Randomthoughts says, you don't have to be anyone but whoever you are to be a part of it. You don't even have to do anything suggested in this post. You can post right here. In this thread. Right now. Just cos you feel like it. Because, as so many of us have discovered: If you're here, your welcome!

              [Hey, RT! Since this is a sticky thread I hope you'll feel obliged to give up that silliness about leaving sometimes. This place really wouldn't be the same without all those random thoughts.]

                Hey – Look over there!! A dog on a unicycle!!!!
                Sorry Leprechaun, I may be here for a while...

                For those wishing to know what motivated some to give their board names, you can also go Here or submit your own explanation of why you chose your name. Personally I am waiting for Peltburger and Electricunderpants to go to bat!

                  Cheers Randomthoughts. The nice thing about these boards is that they're not cliquey at all and people like Random are the reason why, showing consideration for others. The boards in general are as natural and laid back as the girls are in the fantastic shoots. The general ambience seems to rub off on everyone.

                  I'm not half as bad as when in my dim and distant teenage years but I still go a bit shy myself in the presence of beauties like Paula

                    I'm a newbie, and I have never subscribed to a site before. I have been tempted by AW for some while and decided this week to take the plunge. Well, I've had a good look over the site in the last couple of days, and all I can say is that it could have been designed just for me! Well done AW! Goodbye TGP's!

                        Why I joined??

                        Well, this is only the third site I ever actually paid to join. The first two were by individuals, and not very interesting after a day or two; I didn't renew. This one seemed a little more fun and not populated by the professional skanks you see on most other sites. I've never been Down Under, but several of my friends who had their R&R there during Vietnam raved about the girls... So here I am and haven't regretted joining yet!

                            True, but Aussie girls only seem to have gotten better. It's too damn bad that with our current dirty little conflict we don't have the same R&R policy (I think they send you to Bah-rain with Wacko Jacko). Just ain't worth going to war no more, so if they call, I'm sittin' this one out!!

                            Maybe y'all can hide me out?? (Oh, and I'm not THAT old. I didn't get there until '75, thank you.)

                              This is your Creative Goddess checking in, dropping out of lurk for a bit I've been hiding out cause Abby is working me so hard! Seems not fair. Isn't a goddess supposed to enjoy leisure, have you guys and girls waiting on me?? Ah, not in Abbyland - In Abbyland we all work hard to bring you a steady stream of girls girls girls!

                              But let me underscore what RT and Leprechaun and others have said - This isn't like other porn sites [In a great many ways! thankfully]. We not only have great pictures and videos of the coolest girls. We also have the coolest members and a great community. It's a big part of what makes this place so special. So jump in, to this or any other thread. Or start a thread. Tell us what you like, what turns you on. Join in conversation with great models [where else can you do this?]. Talk with other members about the videos. Want to talk about orgasms? Want to know everybody's birthday? Discuss any ol' mundane things. Or share your views about the site. Take the plunge! This is really the friendliest place around!

                              There. The Goddess has spoken: Post.

                                  To new members: please come join me on my thread! And older members who haven't said hello in a while. I may not chat often, but I will get back to you, and think about what you write and try to respond from my core. hahaha, WAAAY too deep right now, too early.

                                  You don't even have to see my shoots first, if you don't want (though i must say they were excellently captured).

                                      When Jo says this isn't like other porn sites, that's a big understatement!! This one has all the ones I've seen beat by a country mile! I love that the girls here are real, and do real things. Not to mention have real orgasms!! Abby and staff are the best, as are the models. Applause applause!

                                          And here's something [B]paula[/B] said a few days ago:

                                          do you know what, i like every single person on here straight away based on the fact that they have subscribed to AW and appreciate all the girls in the way that you all do. you may think its refreshing to see this kind of material, but i think its refreshing to meet people like you out there...... there is no pressure from any of you for us to be different, it's amazing to feel sexy just as you are, and be told by others that you are sexy just as you are.....

                                          so everyone on here is really a huge part of making this experience incredible for us so thankyou to everyone!!!!!
                                          Woo hoo!

                                          Hey, pejoho! Welcome a boards, man! Wow, how much money could we have all saved if AW had been our fist subscriptions?

                                            Hey Leprechaun, Paula and everyone else on the forum, this AW place gets better and better. I only have one regret - I should have joined earlier!!!

                                            All the girls are fab but I'm especially enjoying the pics and vids of Rosanna and of Darcy (and Frankie ). Wouldn't it be great to see those two together!

                                            Keep up the good work team. 'Cos from now on I'll be watching you.

                                              Well since I was personally asked to come along and introduce myself..

                                              Hello Models, staff, members, the outspoken and the lurkers. My nick is Peltburger and I am a lurker. I have been addicted to this site for a few years now. I originally joined about 5 years ago under a pseudonym, but university study meant funds were running low and I had to give up my addiction.

                                              Thankfully, university lead to gainful employment and I am able to afford my addiction to this site. Since 1994 I have been a member of 3 sites in this vein of artful entertainment/education. And there is only one I have every stayed with over multiple rebills. For reasons that have been discussed by many others on this site, many times over. But to put it simply it is the models and the way they are photographed that keeps me here. Also, I am a from Melb, Australia, so I suppose that gives a little extra edge to the site, you can't get anymore girl next door then that.

                                              Oh and my Nickname. well if you know what a pelt is you will know what the nickname is. I know it is a little crass, but trust me it is all in good fun.

                                                    Thanks for the warm welcome, and replying to both my posts. I can see this could get very addictive. This is what makes this site so addictive, the fact that there a models like yourself...attractive with a friendly persoanalty. What more could you ask for really..

                                                      OK, I'm a stateside dummy (Paula's supposed to teach me Aussie slang later) so what is a "pelt"; besides an animal skin???

                                                        Well Ironsides, it is a cheap play on words. Like you said a pelt is an animal skin..or commonly referred to as a 'Fur'...And no it is not really Aussie slang, but maybe Aussie humor. but Peltburger could be translated to Furburger....Now I assume you know what a furburger is?

                                                          D'oh, guess I'm just slow on the uptake. Thanks for the translation!

                                                            Thanks or your understanding of us newbies Random Thoughts...... as someone who is new to all this threads and post stuff, i am finding it a little difficult to negotiate........ so many different threads to look at and many have gone onto completely different tangents, or not been used for awhile........ eg (Paulas post on pets, ie: im an animal lover); and it seems that you can sort by most recent comment on thread... but how do you find the most recently started post? Anyway sure i will find my way around with a bit more trial and error
