I'm quite worried about the idea of single site registration. It sounds good, but care has to be taken to preserve the identity of the other sites. I don't think anyone on any of the sites would be happy with a 'one-stop-fetish-shop' site approach where all the sites are only minorly seperated with a huuuge central crossover.
Many of the sites have a very clear and preserved identity.
People from AotK DO NOT want to associate with the diapered fetish people - then again, us here on Yaoiai don't want to either, and nor do the furfags... I mean, the furryai crowd.
All the seperate sites have a community of their own, this should really be encouraged, not integrated. Multiculturalism is a failed system~
Not least the problems of mixing fetishes could encourage problems - not least more big-headed trolls from AotK to come lord over the peasants on the less important sites is a problem I had to face a few times in my tenure here.
Its sounds like a chatroom idea through and through. "Yeah, lets just make the sites so its like we're just stepping from one room to another!"
In principle, fine, but if carried out too broadly, bad. Experiments like getting AotK mods to come to other sites was disasterous enough. There's just not enough people on all the different sites who want to be members of others.
Very few people on AotK will care about yaoi, all they'll want to do is flood the galleries with spanking pictures left and right. Furries will just want to spam here with gay furry pics. The diaper fetish people will be everywhere arguing for legitimacy while everyone else tries to avoid there wherever possible. God forbid one person finds a picture and decides to upload it to three or more sites.
Its hard enough keeping AotK together with the adult-consensual spankers on the same site as child-discipline spankers. Its a whole new can of worms if handled badly.
My overall point is, there are so few members here who are also members of AotK or FurryAI or diaperedanime and the same on all the other sites. Combined membership sounds good - but is there *really* demand for it and does the convenience outweigh the problems of potentially trying to mix so many different, seperate fetishes?
This site, like FurryAI and Diaperedanime would benefit from becoming more seperate from its sisters, not more alike. The forums have just been upgraded nicely - what YaoiAI really needs is upgrades to its fiction section, the ability to better read stories without downloads. The ability for uploaders to get abstracts and paragraphs automatically posted to the forums for advertising and to be able to edit their stories in situ. Definately better reading of stories ON the site, without downloading is the first port of call. Each site needs something different. Copy-pasting the same changes (just like copypasta'ing the same posts) to each site may not be ideal!
