Almost all forums or websites have a commercial interest. Sites make money from advertising. That's how they pay the server and related costs. You'd have to ask the owner, why it was set up. I'm not the owner but I do own other forms

Don't understand question.

Multiply that by the hundreds of other freebie pages and your talking thousands of free pics daily. Does releasing so many free photos hurt yours (and others) business much? How do you differentiate between the free pics and the ones that are on the pay-site?

I don't own Shemale Club. You'd have to ask their own specifically. I don't think releasing that much free content is good business.
I differentiate between our free released pics and pay site pics in that the free ones should be a tease. Other companies may have a different ethos.

Agreed, this is why Grooby doesn't give the best content away.

(The content is excellent, traffic goes up, the word gets out and perhaps people start wondering if we are cutting into their business....?)

No, good forums and traffic are what we like. The problem arises when new people on the internet come to sites like this and can get the majority of a set or a link to a stolen video for free. It can easily be found. Then they don't join paysites. We don't make money. We have no money for future shoots ... blah blah blah.

I love sites like this and have been active on some for years. I hope to become more active on here other than just the complaints about the amount of material posted.
