MK, that was wild. I had know idea they ranked sites. I can't imagine why UMD's numbers have dropped off. It seems pretty constant over there. People may stop posting but they probably don't stop looking. Ever. Unless they've sworn off "porn" in whatever form it means for them. That'd be a big reversal for a lot of people.

I'd guess UMD's numbers were glitched originally, like it counted when you hit the "back" button from photos but nobody noticed it, and then that was corrected. Maybe I am talking out my ass.

This forum is the only one I know that is totally free, without registration, that still functions at all. And this place functions VERY fucking well, considering. Shit, many registered forums don't run this smooth, police themselves so well., and have such freedom. It also moves pretty fast, which is a bonus.

It is true, this forum is not only more successful in terms of traffic than any other forum in the wet & messy genre, it is now ranked number 1 as the most visited site of any kind in the wet & messy world, and now beats the UMD forum for traffic too. Both UMD and this forum were created in 1998, and historically over the last 14 years UMD has always led this forum in traffic rankings, but for some reason UMD's traffic has slipped in the last 6 month or so while this forums traffic has remained constant and now has overtaken UMD to gain the number one spot.

The data is all here on our Topwam rankings site.

http://topwam.com/toplist.php

This data is gathered independently from the Alexa traffic rankings site (which is owned by Amazon.com --so the rankings data is not influenced by anybody from the wam world).

For years UMD has always held the number one spot cos their forum has all the bells and whistles and features that this forum does not have...but for some weird reason UMD's traffic has been going downhill in the last 6 months while this forum's traffic has remained constant. I am pretty sure I know the reason why this wetlook forum ranks number 1 and the Styx wetlook forum is number 8 in the rankings.....and the owners of that forum know the reasons too....i.e. this forum allows candid media to be posted and also focuses on Youtube links a lot, while the Styx wetlook forum has always banned candid videos and does not encourage youtube postings....and that was their decision and perogative to do that.....so this forum is much more diverse and liberal, whereas the Styx wetlook forum is mostly focused on modelled wetlook only....and they prefer things that way.

The real mystery to me is why UMD's traffic has dropped off so much in the last 6 months....cos this forum's traffic has remained constant.....so this is like a top of the line Mercedes that is running out of gas...and gets overtaken by a more fuel efficient pickup truck....ha ha

True, there is a lot of freedom here.

The downside you identified is actually an absence of accountability, which is what a membership system would create, even if only in a small way. Being accountable for your words doesn't deprive you of the freedom to express yourself, but perhaps it prompts you to adequately consider the effect those words will have on others before you utter them.

Why is this forum so much more successful than others?

Website:

Because it's open, with no tedious joining or registering rigmarole. Even a lurker may like to say "thank you" for something especially good; a casual visitor may make a contribution.

The downside is you sometimes get comedians making a nuisance of themselves, but on balance free speech works best.
