Books Forum Subsection

Post by Rich_Visiting »   2 likes

Well, I'm not really a bookworm but I think a books section would be a welcome addition to the forum. The initial rule of produced movies was really just to stop anyone posting videos of girls (in particular at the time child model videos). I don't think written based content would produce many issues. This idea was suggested to me by a current member of the forum and I think it's a good idea, so you can post here. In fact, through our convos, I'd recommend letting him mod it. Thoughts from other members?

If movie has been shot after the book (sometimes it is so) then is also possible to post that book link to the movie topic

Well, it would certainly link, thanks for that ferdi :)

But also, I think that books should not be overlooked as a means for which this site was originally established. Some even could argue that books form a more concrete model for the site, and perhaps back in the day this is how it was (damn I feel like John Keating :lol: ). But I would assume that books, and the visions in the mind which are subsequently produced could be a firstlove, just as much as movies. So this is also my thought on this.

I think that would open up a can of worms we don't need. FLM has always been a movies forum - we just got through establishing that in the last few weeks. There's nothing stopping someone from posting a link in its thread to the book a film was based on, and the General section has been used to post info about other child-related books, but the focus of those has been almost exclusively on photobooks, and that's where the problems is.

The guiding factor is intent. Films aren't posted on FLM to highlight child nudity - that is incidental. Children in Cinema, CinemaKids, and other clips aren't allowed because their only purpose is to show the parts of a film that have nudity in them - that's what makes them unacceptable. Whatever the original intent was for FLM's existence in its earlier days, films aren't posted here now just because they have nudity in them, and that's been the case since the changeover.

The nudity in photobooks is the main reason those books are created. Otherwise, who'd buy them? Images of clothed kids are available for free all over the published world and internet. A photobook's intent is to show what can't be freely shown otherwise. The brief glimpses of nudity weren't the reason a commercial film was created, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed here either - for example Torsten Gems.

If someone wants those kind of images, all they need to do is search on eMule for just about any topic at all - porn, including child, shows up in every search you do, but if you download it the burden is on you, not FLM, and also the consequences. We don't need to be a Porn Hub for child content.

Hmm, I agree about photobooks which I posted as a novelty, I think my recent post may have got confused with this one. I just meant normal books with typed letters and stuff

100% agree Phuzzy on the photbook stuff!

Written words, I would thing that it would not be an issue and a welcome addition to the forum (for those more educated / persuasive lol) agree?

Again, First Love Movies is a movie forum. How would a dedicated books section be on-topic? We don't allow, for instance, anime, not because it's bad but because it's off-topic. We might as well start posting Saturday morning cartoons too. As I said, posting links in its forum to the book a film is based on is no problem and posting relevant books in General is okay too, but posting most children's literature isn't on-topic.

The two films you linked in another thread about the "Masha Babko" victims and child model "Sandra" are on-topic in Documentaries, but links to any of their web sites, videos, or photo collections are not. Documents about Teens In Movies (or whatever it was called) are okay to post in General, but there isn't enough of that kind of thing to warrant a separate forum.

Hmm, storytime. Well, we can't agree on everything my friend :-) The term "movies" was always subjective, and I will be 100% honest here it was really whatever got a person off lol. At the time of the forum there were many girl model videos around, video2000 then to uk models then to Playtoy etc etc. So those of us who chose to "not go there" had to rely on legal material. For me this was mostly what was on the moviegirls list, then it developed from here.

It has NEVER been about solely movies, it has been about experiences and shared movies (even better with experiences).

I think maybe several times I said that films must have IMDB status, that was to keep the site safe. I never said that books / anime were not allowed, infact I'd really like to see som cool anime :D

From my perspective, books / apps / anime / etc etc jave always been allowedm they are low riskm and we can talk more :)

Regardless of what it started out to be, even then it virtually never had anything BUT films, and it's been exclusively films since the changeover ten YEARS ago, with off-topic posts not related directly to films in the General forum - that's why there's a General forum in the first place. There have never been enough of those type of posts to warrant their own. What does FLM gain that isn't already here? Why the push?

Hmm it's not really a push or a big deal, just ygl sent me some book ideas. What does FLM gain? Another outlet for a persons experience / enjoyment on life, which is not allowed in the real world. With our own positions I think we are all somewhat in our own minds. I don't think we need books to get there. BUT I would have a VERY SERIOUS problem on principle with a website that did not allow books. Take that as a push or as you will. Written text is beyond FLM and beyond anything that I could ever describe, it is who we are.
