I addressed this question in a thread, and either because it has not been read enough by those who care,or perhaps because it's not discussing who's clit is bigger, there hasn't been any replies to my question/poll.
So here it is: Does TER need another board, I mean we have the "it" board, politics, boards for many major cities,and the board for general discussion?
Since it seems as though there is now a poliferation of girls getting into the adult video business, specifically the "web" part of Porn, perhaps we should still have the PS board, for those who fit the "old school" of video.
The girls who actually filmed videos for release,the ones who actually know what it's like to have a makeup artist on the set, wardrobe etc.
The girls who know how to dress, to look glamorous etc.
And the new board, for those who rollout of bed,hardly any makeup, wardrobe consists of jeans and a dirty t-shirt, we've all seen the type, usually in the lower economic areas of our cities.
The Porn World, i.e. the web sites such as "Bang This or Bang That, with the Big Pizza Boat Captain". This new type of porn, is getting anything that has a pu--y, and will have sex on camera, with no regards to looks, or figure.
Are we that desperate to actually see a girl have sex, that we will subject our eyes to girls who are fat, and unattractive ?
So, I think we need another boad, to clean up this board, and have a specific board for those who don't fit the tried and true defintion of a PS.
Perhaps we could call it the skank board, as far as I can tell,it seems as though there is definitly enough interest by the poster's.
Lets hear it.
Who is going to be the judge of which girls are truly porn stars and which girls are just porn "skanks"? (lol)
I think I'll let the TER Staff respond to that one!

How to decide, now THAT is a tuff one.
How about using this method, a girl with a recognizable name, one that is familiar, or at the very least, her name rings a bell.
How about a girl who actually "looks" like the percieved image of a PS. And that has receives that are solid, (8 to 10's) for reviews.
This board use to contain questions/observations of recognizable PS names, at the very least, once a day.
TER came up with the scheme of advertising in men's magazines,not that there is anything wrong with that.
But in doing so,it has flooded this site with people looking for Suzie Smith from West Elephant Breath Montana, guys who can afford to buy men's magazines, videos, and a monthly charge to "Big Captain Pizza Bus Driver"; and possibly a girl who charges 150.00 to 300.00.
But can't afford the recognizable PS. The decline in this board, with discussions of "known" PS's is obivious to everyone who has been on this site for more than 2 years.
Case in point, you and Eddie stated that TER brought you on board as moderators,in an attempt to bring it back to it's glory days. I believe one of you stated that, or alluded to the general idea of said statement.
The average businessman/lurker, use to be able to visit this board and garner his needed info quite easily, as the discussions were of known girls.
Now a businessman/lurker, who we all know really doesn't have the time, nor inclination to post, has to search and search, combing thru endless ISO's of girls, WHO HAVE NO BUSINESS calling themselves PS's.
I really do not have anything against this girl, I'm sure she is very nice, but lets call a spade a spade, she is NOT attractive, and from what little I can observe, it appears that she might be on the pudgy side.
Now jump on me all that you want, I'm sure it's not the first time she has realized it, or been told such. But my guess is, she has no idea that this board even exists, let alone visit it and be upset with my post.
First of all Vector, you and I are in 100% agreement as to the state of porn today. But even with that fact, your post is a little harsh.
Remember, one man's ceiling is another man's floor... the mere fact that this genre of porn attracts a huge audience is proof that while many of these girls obviously don't appeal to you, the do to a whole lot of other guys, and I'm sure many who would be willing to pay a lot more than you would.
I'm sure there is a certain group of guys who would say that the "known" pornstars you speak about are over-rated or washed up. I don't happen to agree with that statement, but I certainly don't have the chutzpah to claimm that my view is the only correct one.
Yes I know we agree on the state of Porn.. However don't put words in my mouth, I never said, nor did I imply, that my view was the ONLY view.
I asked for imput,, twice.
Blame the production and internet companies and the myriad of guys who are willing to pay to see these type of girls.
The whole concept of Bang Bros., Cumfiesta, Mike's Apartment, et. al. is to give the impression that these girls AREN'T pornstars, but just average horny chicks who they "talk" into having sex on video. Unfortunately glamour has no place in that illusion.
So don't blame the girls, blame the genre and the huge audience of guys who fall for the concept or don't give a shit about high productions values as long as the girl will take two cocks up her ass.
I never said that there wasn't a large number of men who enjoy watching this type of girl, and who finance these types of productions.
It's obvious to anyone,who has any interest in Porn, that this type of Porn is everywhere !
My post is about THIS board, and with what use to be at THIS board. You're skirting the issue, and trying to placate everyone, which you've always been very good at doing.
I'm not blaming the girls, but a spade is a spade, if she is unattractive, and by that I mean we all know that Cindy Crawford is attractive, as is Julia Roberts, however neither one does much for me.
I think we can all agree that Sahra Bernhard is down right unattractive, she might float your boat, so therefore you want to watch her take 2 up her ass. We can all agree that Roseann Barr is fat, and there might be some who want to watch a fat girl take 2.
As for the girls next door who are horny, well my views haven't changed from when I was 17 and couldn't rub 2 nickles together. I wanted to see the girl next door, the ATTRACTIVE girl next door,not the chubby unattractive one.
If she was unattractive, what I wanted was for her to take a shower, set her hair,put on some makeup,and at least try to look presentable, and desireable, not something that is not appealing to ones senses.
It's my desire to watch attractive and fit PS's. My views are not for everyone,nor do I force my views on people, I have expressed my opinion, nothing more nothing less.
Once again my posts are about this board, and it's decline. Wasn't it you who wanted to bring it back to it's old glory ?
I've been reading/posting here since 2002...IMO, the board was a good & informative site back in 02, & it still is now...I don't share the opinion that TER was somehow great several yrs. back & sucks now, or vice versa...I think it's been consistently good...
I mean, there's only so much to talk about on the board..Before I wrote reviews, I would write a mini-review of some stars I saw (ie: Aria, Shay Sights, Nikita Denise, etc.) but eventually started w/regular reviews...While it's certainly useful to know if someone does/does not escort, & mini-reviews can help, the most useful info. is in detailed reviews & exchanging PM's, & is not on the general boards...
I'm NOT here to live vicariously thru others..If I wasn't seeing porn stars & other escorts, I wouldn't read & post here...I mean, who wants to read a "Penthouse Forum" type of story, unless you are seeing the ladies mentioned!..
Sorry to pontificate, but I don't get the "glory of the old board talk"...
Of course, this is just my opinion, I could be wrong (and no apologies to Dennis Miller, can't stand him)...

I just cant resist this one.. I am sorry to anyone I offend before i write a single word in reply...
Vector you get a high 5....
After reading the replies to this post i must say Why are you bashing the messenger.. I got into the adult video industry in 1994 as a camera man. I have seen and dated some of the most insane woman I can ever remember. In today’s market sorry guys but these are hags compared to the mid 90's . If you look at the vivid girl or even the club jenna girls there all top end for today’s market not even close to a Raqual Darrian, Young Jenna, Janine
Looks better at 40+ then 99% of the younger girls now.
As for best looking girls now days there are maybe 5-10 that come close
Jesse Jane
Teagan
Devon ( if shes not all messed up)
Mckenzie lee is close but still not there( teeth are fucked up)
Gianna ( big boobs) has the looks
Carmella Bing is another that could possibly go some where
Jelena Jensen if she ever went hardcore
Justine Joli is defiantly top of the game
Really the new vivid girls are lacking big time .. and Lanny got buried in the pile so shes gone now..
Wicked Stormy is a class act and a super hot woman
But other then these few and maybe another 5 its looks deprived .
Now if you move from looks to actual PORNSTARS… such as the term invented in the 70-90’s Hmmm that is a super short list.. of new girls
Jesse Jane
Teagan ( some what)
Stormy
Jenna haze – she is close
Krystal Steal – once her legal issues are solved
Naomi – but she has now gotten so tiny and coked out looking that its sad .. She had the whole keisha look going and is an animal in bed..
Lacie heart – might make it there one day..
Nikki Benz I think could get there also
Really the issue comes down to marketing and a push from an established company.. Plus any girl that is doing 300 scenes probably 60% of those anal or more wont make it 2plus yrs let alone 3-4 to build a body of work that warrants the label of Porn Star.. Its like Haley Scott or Lauren Phoenix great great girls but there both blown out now there over shot.. Gonzo basically killed any girls from getting a legend status ever again.. Jenna has done less then 100 scenes … Tere has done right around that number maybe..
To me as a producer and director it’s a joke any more.. porn is killing its self on getting cheaper and cheaper.. so the girls get uglier and uglier
John my 2 cents
Thanks for the response,and I'll assume that you are thinking along my views. It's refreshing to get an honest opinion , especially from someone actually in the business.
While I don't agree with all of your picks,for the most part they are pretty, sexy, in shape, and hot.
This is my argument, this is the place for the PS's, and there should be a place for the masses and masses of uglier girls. Using your termonolgy.

I think my proplem in general even if you take out steller looks is you earn a PSE tag.. You dont just go do a few gonzo movies... Gonzo girls aren't Porn Stars.... They are the lower level girls or in therory should be.
Porn Stars in a certain was are remembered over time .. Their not some girl that does 300 flicks a yr. Yes she is making a name for herself and doing alot of work. But thats not the right kind of work to become a Legend. In 10 yrs no one will remember most of these girls names. But legands are remembered.. Look at the 80' and 90's girls they are fondly remembered and wanted. The ladies today we cant even remember there name with out a pic and a search of them.
You are 100% correct, This is my arguement, this board is being cluttered up with no names, who in reality, should not be in the PS category.
Now,are there any more views or comments, or is this board too far gone already.
