Yes, it’s definitely technically interesting. Also interesting that it would still take significant human effort to make a longer story out of AI clips.
It looks interesting as a demonstration of the technology, but (due only to my bad overthinking habit!!!) I found it quite hard to watch.
- I couldn’t see where Gary had consented to it (though obviously if he’d objected it would have been removed.)
- I struggled to think of a story that would include this episode. I settled on the guy having two friends who have entered an event. The friend in red has done well and is being congratulated by her two friends (the guy and the one in green). Looking at it that way, are we thinking unkindly of the friendships, as if we’re being encouraged to see them flirting and therefore doubt their sincerity in the relationships? I know that mixed-gender friendships can include flirting, but (again overthinking) I wonder if that would be a barrier to really close platonic friendship.
Looking at it again now, though, I see it more as a piece of street theatre and problem 2 has gone away completely. I once saw an odd. situation unfold while I was having coffee at the South Bank Centre, and it later dawned on me they were performing a show.
Another possible story would be that the women had dared each other to do this. The lesson for me is to be less lazy and try harder to work out what could be happening I didn’t like my first explanation and then it stuck in my head.
I was surprised (unconcerned, not bovvered, just surprised) that our patreon account names appear on the page. I know what you mean about getting usernames mixed up between sites though 😁
(Sound of door opening, footsteps fading through it, door closes…
…footsteps getting louder again, door creaks open…)
Yes, that worked too.
I arrived on the home page and clicked on the new log in button. It took me to the via-Patreon login screen, which worked, so here I am 🙂. The new button has changed to say log out (and so has the link under my name.) Now I’ll press submit and then see if I can log out with the new button.
I remember Jean-Paul Gaultier saying the main purpose of the Eurotrash TV show was to laugh at naked Germans. (Apologies to any Germans here!)
“Top Ten strange conversations I’ve had on this site” might work as a forum 😁
Our Aldi has good food and nice people, but getting naked there might be a dare too far. (Though I wonder if they’d ever do a “Aldi in the Altogether” day? I could be pursuaded…)
I can’t believe I used to understand that kind of thing 😂
Nobody minds (or I assume nobody minds) if you “like” what someone says without giving a reason. There’s a risk that people might get addicted to having their comments liked, which could be an argument for not having a like button in the first place, but liking a comment doesn’t feel like an act of destruction. Disliking feels far more loaded. If I dislike your comment, do I dislike you? Does dislike represent
- a friendly, smiling, gentle shake of the head, while saying “that’s bollocks” and everyone – including the Sayer of the Bollocks – laughs and debates the issue
- a grumpy demand that someone shuts their face
- a threat of expulsion from the group
The answer is to replace “dislike” with an expectation that anybody who is bothered about a comment will explain the issue. That also has the benefit that it could get more discussion going.
I think I muddied the waters when I mentioned using like/dislike for voting. A vote should be presented as a vote.
I dislike the dislike button, for the reasons others have said.
“Up vote”/“Down vote” can work if someone is looking for a correct answer to something. People can upvote answers they think are correct and downvote answers they think are wrong, which helps everyone see what’s most likely to be correct, but that’s a very specific application which I’m not sure we would ever need here. I suppose it could also work to judge the feeling of the community about something. “Can this box on the site be coloured dayglo hivis purple?” “Can I get quickly changed on a public beach without covering up?”
Overall, I dislike the downvote button, except for when we’re literally voting about something.
(I hope the bold text isn’t as bold as it looks!!!!) (Edit (by copy/bin/paste) – No, it’s fine 🙂)
Apologies for my sense of humour. (I often have to say that!!) I confess that I took the 1K size limit as a challenge, and subverted the lack of a “like” button as a bit of mischief.
And disliking one that has 2 likes puts it down to zero, but then liking it again puts it back to 2. Doubtless all will become clear as we get used to it.
@Jesss, I’ve liked yours so, if it does notifications you should get one. (Or maybe several for you and @Ed as I’ve been playing with the arrows!)
Not been, so no, but – now you come to mention it – nude on/with a bike sounds like a good dare.
(I think @ed’s original post got duplicated. I’ve replied to this one, not the other one.)
I think that the yellow and black boxes are good for navigating around the site but individual topics are best included in the forums. A forum for “Nudity in the arts”, or somesuch title, could be useful perhaps. The topic comes up in the media from time to time so there would be things to discuss. It wouldn’t necessarily need photos, if they are something we’re moving away from.
Agreed
The pagan site I used to belong to (until it suddenly closed down 🙁) used to play word games on a couple of its forums, which now I’m old and cynical I suspect was just a way of keeping the site updating. The best one was adding a line to a story, which went off in all sorts of random directions. Maybe that could work as a blog. If comments were only allowed from supporters, it should limit the spam / undue weirdness.
Well, if the overall background represents sand, and the orange colour is obviously fake tan, then yellow must be the sun, which is always nice to have. 🌞🪣🍦⛱️
The blog can be a good way of starting a conversation, though I agree with @ptHarry that comments on blogs have limited visibility. It was a very long time before I realised it was even possible to comment there, though now I know about it I do look out for updates. The blog can also make the site look currently active, but to make that happen, someone would need to keep it updated.
Maybe we take it in turns and whoever makes that month’s least popular post has to wear one-too-few items of clothing for a week.
Black on yellow might be a bit in-yer-face. It seems to say “stop what you’re doing and look at me” which isn’t very friendly!!
For me, the clearest one to read is probably the one for “recent posts” (white text on purple(?) background). The original black-on-fake-tan scheme was also readable on my screen, but I do have it turned up quite bright. If you’re looking for a colour scheme for the site, where do most people get naked? I haven’t been counting but I imagine it’s out in the garden or woods, so something rural could work. Otherwise the colours in “undressing Gaby” could work well (and poor Gaby would have another claim to fame 😁)
I don’t actually remember but I wonder if it was a fairly empty page with a 505 internal server error. I’ve seen one recently, and can’t think where else it would have been. I’ve seen those in the past on a test site when the database doesn’t reply quickly enough to the web server. Or it can happen if the database gets an invalid query from the web server, but in that situation you’d hope the Patreon add-in you’re using would deal with the error using a friendly message and not throw a 505 wobbler.
There’s a very high chance I’m talking bollocks as usual!!
After I logged in to see and reply to the pricing question, I logged out before remembering I was going to have another quick look around the site. When I tried to log back in, the Patreon login screen gave an error which I assumed was a Patreon problem. It was the same on the community site. It was working again the next time I tried it later in the evening. The sites seemed to be working – I didn’t notice that they weren’t – I assumed it was just the Patreon login temporarily broken at their end, not nakedexperiment.
I can’t imagine that members would be repelled (or new ones attracted) by making it £4 instead of £3.50. If hosting is charged by the character, you might be quids in 😁
OK 🙂
@ed – “Does this solution work for attachments? It’s not ideal but it sort of does what we need.”
Do you mean the workaround of adding them by editing a new post? Yes, it’s a usable solution.(And it’s now putting replies after the message being replied to.)
“I think we need the BIN option and then can lose edit.“ – yes, I think the same.
“editing by binning and replacing” – yes, that’s a good substitute.I imagine that if participants can’t delete or edit anything that they’ve posted, they won’t post. Attachments are nice to have, but the ability to repair errors and indiscretions sounds more important. Not having a “bin” option is OK if someone can still blank their message, or completely change it, if they think better of it, at least within the time limit for making edits.
“it offers me to add an attachment when I edit” – I’ll post this and see what happens when I edit it…
Yes, the attachment “choose file” appears when I edit.
It wasn’t a new attachment. I used the instruction from the instruction box (that I no longer see) to include an existing image from elsewhere on this site. It begins <img src=… I’m not currently seeing an attachment link.
Testing with a link to an image that’s already here, so not attached, just included in the post.
Sorry – when I said delete, I meant bin, and no I can’t see that here. The attachment link has now disappeared. Maybe I saw it before the age verification started working. The little box of instructions has also disappeared, presumably as intended.
If this is still here, I didn’t manage to delete it. (“Is there anybody there? Knock once for yes and twice for no”)
(Edit – No, there’s no delete button.) (But I’ve just accidentally deleted something inconsequential I posted on the other site when trying it out!)
“Generally, I like new replies at the bottom of a thread” – they’re certainly easier to find there instead of them getting mixed in the previous discussion. (I wanted to say missed in the mist, which must be a very common exprerssion I’ve never noticed!) I just have to remember to mention what I’m replying to.
“Did you intend attachments to be allowed ” – The little instruction box that appears when typing a comment includes something about images (<img src=…) which I couldn’t get to work. It blanked out the contents of the quotation marks (the location of the image on the web) so the image didn’t appear. Then I noticed that attachments were possible so did it that way.
We played years ago as a small mixed group of friends. It never became boring but it was a bit of a habit we got into and eventually we each migrated to different parts of the country, so all in the past now. At the time we trusted each other to be discreet (and cameras, even digital ones, were much bigger then!) but it very occasionally crosses my mind that what if someone now decides it was a bad thing that messed their life up. We were adults. We were friends. 99.9999999% of the time it’s a happy memory. I’d definitely play again!
The software told me I was replying to post number 699 but then it lists the reply it at the end of the discussion so it’s not obvious to the reader that I was replying to a specifc post from @Jesss – I’ll try to remember that in future (but clarity was never a strong point!)
Is this naughty or just fun? Is it fun because it’s naughty? That’s what I think.

And how many of us leave our headwear till last when playing stripgames?If the new community is essentially the old one in a new location, I can see it making sense to carry on recognising past achievements. If the decision was to, in future, include publishing a photo as a necessary part of completing the dare, then unlinked X would just mean “past achievement recognised”. It wouldn’t be relevant to newly completed dares. That would make sense.
I’m always curious about what people look like naked so I don’t mind the photos and, in my previous life here, I usef to send some in. I wondered what it would feel like to be seen naked by more people, and it was enough of a thrill for me to keep going. Mainly, though, I like to hear what people think about nakedness – why is it often scandalous? why is it interesting? do some people really think it’s about sex? So videos of people talking about being naked are definitely interesting.
