My take on Belly Inc

Navellover123

I have to disagree. Yes, there are people aware of Bronies and Furries, however, there's still a very sizable percentage of people who aren't aware of either, and when it's explained to them, they are horrified (more about the Furries than the Bronies). And yes, they are mocked over having such interests. True, there are entire convention gatherings for Furries, but they have the benefit of hiding behind costumes. We don't have that to fall back on, once we make our fetishism known. By comparison, no one bats an eyelash over someone admitting they are a "breast man", or "butt man", or even a "leg man". Hell, even Tarantino has made people aware of feet fetishism, and more scenes in movies, TV, and commercials have to been used to cater to that fetishism. Navel fetishism is still very unknown, and considered weird when explained.

And yes, this isn't exactly the prime example of a place to go for celebrity gossip. Yes, we post a celebrity news article from time to time, but it's few and far between. In the end, we mostly just post candid photos and Instagram pictures. Granted, the latter is of use to those who don't have an Instagram account of their own. The biggest traffic we pulled for a new article was all about YouTube censorship, not celebrities, ironically enough.

I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just pointing out the truth. I think on some level, we are trying too hard to make this forum into something that it's not.

Again I completely agree. We are trying too hard to make this forum something it never can be.

This is a tricky one to reply to.

I just want to lay out some important facts and you folks can decide what you make of it. I rather not get too involved (since I have already explained all this). If you require more clarification, just pop your questions below and I will do my best to answer them.

Ok.. so here goes:

1. 57.8% of visitors are ONLY interested in our celebrity & media sections and these are new visitors (one-time visitors) aka "non-kinks". These visits are image-search-engine traffic. Visitors might search "Jessica Alba, crop-top, JA Bikini, JA body etc" and google will send traffic to us.

2. 42.2% visitors are returning visitors. Visitors who bookmark/ social share their favourite threads and get others to do the same.

If we start breaking-up the 42.2% of returning visitors, this is what it looks like (right-click and open image in new tab):

One trend you will able to spot is "Entertainment & Celebrity News" seems to be high on all those lists. These are *non-kink* (returning visitors) who enjoy the celebrity sections.

3. Very small percentage of our visitor base are "kinks" (people who have followed us since the "forum-up" days) are below 0.5%.

This is eye opening. My position has changed.

Hello Harvey Specter,

Thank you for your feedback and the message regarding Melissa Debling and my apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Regarding Melissa Debling, what you must understand is that we're only people running this site and as people, we're bound to make mistakes. On this occasion and due to a lack of information available at the time of the decision, a mistake was made but was promptly corrected.

You have mentioned about there being 'grey areas' on our site. Even before you published your message above, we're are in the midst of addressing these issues and I am prepared to release latest changes being discussed 'behind the scenes' which will help to address them. All Bellyinc staff will be bound to these terms and conditions, including myself:

Meanwhile at Bellyinc HQ, staff quarters:

Belly, Inc 2017 Partnership Deal terms & conditions for staff

The entire Bellyinc team has contributed to help cultivate and establish a friendly, open-minded and above all, a reliable place for everyone to congregate in.

We've helped encouraged some members to open-up and participate. Naturally, many more members have followed in these footsteps which is great to see so thank you for your time and efforts.

There are a two key areas on this site which require urgent attention. To help address these main concerns effectively and help promote the 'longevity' this place, I have revised our current partnership deal and established a new one for Year 2017.

As you may know, the front of the website requires some loving attention. On top of this, we need to further strive to deliver better, quality content to our audiences.

Moderation on our forum is also inconsistent and this is not acceptable; as a result, I have had a number of messages from members concerning why their posts was either removed/ modified whilst other similar posts still remain on the forum.

Partnership Deal 2017 goals:

â€¢ Every member of the team will be required to contribute at least 1x Quality 250-350 word article per month on the subject of your choice*

â€¢ Strive to remove questionable content that's deemed not "SFW" (Helpful video tutorials will be created to help you better spot any breaches of our TOS guidelines).

â€¢ This deal will evolve over time and 30 days notice will be given before anything is due to be actioned.

*For higher contributors, I am prepared to make an exception but with that said, it would be appreciated if you guys could 'show us how it's done'. I'll also be contributing to this noble venture.

Agreement:

If you feel this deal is made in 'good faith' and it's fair for everyone, please sign your names below consenting to the new 'Belly, Inc 2017 Partnership Deal'...

If you feel you disagree or can not commit to this new 2017 arrangement, we'll need to pass this responsibility onto someone who can, it's as simple as that.

If you have questions or require clarification on this subject, please leave your questions below and I will answer them as soon as possible. Thank you.

I hope that sheds some light on the issues that are currently being discussed above.

Just wanted to add, you or anyone else for that matter, are not being singled out or being picked on. It's just that... we need to get our shiz together. :)

Admin

I meant to ask, are we going to get more strict?

Yes. It's an issue which we'll improve upon so that our members feel they're treated equally.

Admin

Let me know when you read this.

Harvey Specter I read most of it and replied, was there a particular issue you wanted me to address?

Admin

I just hope that you would be more open-minded to some of the examples I showed you(Her large breasts guarantee cleavage, which neither she nor I can help.

As you know mate, I am bound by our rules and regulations which help protect the longevity of this place. As a community, we've gone through many obstacles and just having a place where we all can simply be together and participate, means a lot to us. As you've mentioned, you understand our position regarding advertisers, we have limited say on the matter but we're definitely open-minded and will continue review these matters to ensure members are getting the most out of us.

If there's anything else to ask, may I be allowed to edit my own posts from now on? Just my own, not anyone else's. I don't want to bother our staff with combing through and fixing some of my old, because I'd rather do it myself in my spare time. I did cross 1,000 posts after all, which brings me closer to you guys. That's basically it.

That's actually a really good idea and a very reasonable request. Shouldn't be too hard to implement. We'll need to create a new permission set and add people onto it manually. I have not done this in a long time so I'll stick it in my to-do list for this weekend. Good stuff.
