Photo Profile - Policy Change

By an overwhelming majority, the members of PissPigs have voted to require members to post a photo to their profiles.    About 100 members voted in the poll conducted from May 15 to June 15, 2010.

While most members felt that a profile picture should be required, there was not agreement on whether the photo should be required immediately upon registration.    The majority did vote that members should have a little time to upload a photo to their profile.

When I questioned individual members about their choice, the general feedback that I recieved that if a member cannot take the time or does not want to show a photo on the website, then he probably is not putting out enough effort.    In other words, "he's here just to get off on photos not to meet other members".

The impact upon the PissPIgs website is follows, if after one week a member has not uploaded a photo to his profile, he will be sent a reminder to do so.   If after two weeks, the member has still not uploaded a photo, his account will be suspended.     At this time there is no requirement that the photo show a face shot, which should alleviate privacy concerns of some members.

New Search & Chat

We've been busy deliverying the features that we hear members say they want!

The new SEARCH feature makes it easier to find members from the "View All Members" page. Fill in the blanks to search by name, city, state or country.

The new chat system is also now open. You will notice at the bottom of every screen is a new toolbar. If you point to each icon, you will see an explaination of what each of them does.

The main features are:

  • Click mensroom to Chat with other members in the main Toilet, a member's stall, or create your own stall.
  • Chat with Buddies - On the right side of the bottom toolbar you can see how many of your buddies are logged in. When you click it, you can send chat messages to any of them. The buddy list shows whos available for chat.
  • Click translate to translate the current page into any language in our list. Way cool hey?

How is Chat different from the Send Message feature? Chat is primarily for communicating with other members who are online. You can still send messages to anyone who is not online. Send message alerts members that they have a new message via email. The chat system does not.

New! PissPigs Look and Features

Over the last few months we have been preparing to roll out a large number of new website features.   Much of that work is now complete.  But we're already planning for more.   This article describes what is new and what is coming!

New to PissPigs

We want PissPigs to be a place where everyone feels open to cruise around and be men doing what men do.   To meet that objective we added:

  • Tough Anti-Spamming and Legal Restrictions - The message is clear.  If you're not here to enjoy pissing around with other gay men then get the hell out.    To that end we now check every registering member's email and IP address against lists maintained by several reputable anti-spamming organizations.   Your info doesn't go anywhere - we do this in a way that maintains the privacy of our members.   On the otherhand, spammer activity gets reported to the monitoring organizations.
  • New Graphics - We're all men here so we thought the "pissing in hell" look was appropriate.  We will still continue to evolve the look, because as we grow there more info to highlight on the front page.  We are also getting rid of some of the clutter - things that members don't seem interested in using.
  • New Events Page - Now you can see the list of upcoming piss events about which we know.  Very soon you will be able to add events that you know about but are not alread on the list.
  • Privacy - The results of our poll clearly indicated that most users feel that your should at least be required to register to see other member specifics.     You will now notice that only a few tiny photos of new members are displayed on the front page as a teaser.   But at that size no one could really identify anyone.
  • New Member Search Links - Soon you will have explicit links to display guys in your own city or country.
  • Profile Name Link - You can distribute links to your profile now!   Everyone's profile link is as follows: pisspigs.com/{Your Member Name}.    For example, my profile is at pisspigs.com/bigwoof .  Kewl.  If someone has your profile link, then they can see just your profile information, wheather or not they are a PissPigs member.

In Development

So what's coming a few months down the road?

  • We are going to add some sort of blog or forums - so members the ability to publish information and experience.   We may even have official collumnists.  I think we've got a few members already interested.
  • Geographical proximity search - we adding a link so that you can search for members that are within a specific distance from you and display them sorted by their proximity.   This is a big feature that I think will members will really like.
  • We are investigating adding some sort of chat capability.
  • I have had a few requests from members to add porn website review capability.   These reviews are strictly to provide a guide on the best use of your porn budget.

So how do  you like the changes?  I want to know!   If you have positive or negative feedback, you can either add your public comment below or send me a private email.

All the best,

BigWoof

Special Promo - Treasure Island Media

timWhile I don't usually post porno membership links on the frontpage of the website,we've worked out a deal with Treasure Island Media to provide a very low introductory membership rate to members of the PissPigs community.    While Treasure Island doesn't have a lot of piss videos, they produce some of the rawest pig sex in the industry.     To take advantage of this offer, click here.

 

 

 

 

Rolling out some new Features

bigwoof1I am working on rolling out a set of new features over the next week. You will see map associated with all the piss spots and some cooler graphic look and layout of the website.

There is a lot that you can do to help grow the site:

  • We need to find more organizations, clubs, bars, and events that cater to Piss Pigs. I am getting a lot of email from men who are eagar to find a play pal or group, but they don't know where to start looking in their area. So if you know any Piss Places not in our directory, contact me with as much info as your have.,
  • Response has been really great to the the Video Reviews. They are getting lots of hits. If you have seen any of the videos that I have reviewed, please take the time to add your own opinion. You don't have to add a lot of text, just rate it 1 to 5 stars. If there are videos that you would like to see added to out reviews, just let me know.

I also would like to say thank you to many of you guys who have take the time to post photos on the site. Many are super hot! It's definitely true that the guys who get the most interaction on the site are the ones who take the time to create a great profile, add a profile photo, upkiad photos, and take the time to send messages to guys whose profiles they like.

While I have a lot of plans in the works, I want to find out from you what you would like to see added to the site. I am also putting together a frequently asked question doc, so you can navigate your what around the website a bit better.

So, if you can help with any of the above, go to my profile and send me a message.
