photographers like Richard Kern and Stephen Sayadian, BlueBlood Magazine pretty much started the genre. They also have the earliest recorded online presence, predating NakkidNerds and RaverPorn, which are pretty some of the first distinctly altporn sites that I remember. (What's your version of altporn history? Yet somebody else who thinks SuicideGirls started it all, I suppose.) If you actually have citable facts to add to the article or can point out concrete inaccuracies in the present version of the article, by all means do so. But if you're just going to snipe and make baseless accusations from behind an anonymous IP, I can only conclude that you're simply trolling. (Also, for future reference, new comments go on the bottom of the page and should be signed.)

SuicideGirls, and its debatable whether other sites are notable enough to warrant their own article. (EroticBPM, maybe.) Altporn director Eon McKai is notable enough to warrant an article, if anyone would care to write one. As for putting up a long list of links, I don't think that's particularly useful, and goes against the Knowledge guideline "Knowledge is not a link repository", or something to that effect.

I'm not clear on just what 71's agenda is and why he's carrying out these multiple edits of the blueblood-related pages, but he or she has gutted this article of important historical information on this topic for some unknown reason. I consider it vandalism and will revert it when I see it. However,

Well, categorisation is useful, and they don't link to external links, merely to other Knowledge articles. Most articles have external links, and in articles about companies their website is a pretty relevent one. Most of these articles do contain at least some information aside from the link in any

Do you mean the effects of culture on pornography? If so, I think altporn is a reaction to all the blonde-haired, high heel-wearing, fake-boobed women that filled much of films, pornographic and not, through the 1980's. It was kind of like how mainstream rock music went from hair bands to grunge.

viewpoint from a published source? Once again, "Knowledge is not a soapbox" to air personal views, nor is it a forum for original research. If there criticism of altporn from a notable, verifiable published source, then by all means, it should be summarized in this article. BTW, I'm not sure if you

To the best of my knowledge, "political porn" is not any kind of notable trend in altporn or porn in general. The "Vegporn" site is considered "altporn" because of the type of models it features and the "online community" aspect, not because its "political porn". Its not a particularly important

Based on the above, it is clear that "alternative pornography" is not the favored term here, so strict application of Knowledge guidelines would create a highly artificial title for this article. (A case could be made for changing the title to "Alt-porn", however.) Also note that in the case of

There are already articles on SuicideGirls and Blue Blood, as well as director Stephen Sayadin and photographer Richard Kern, which are linked to in the article itself. I'm not sure what you mean by "studios" - altporn is mostly found on websites. So far, there are articles on Blue Blood and

If that is true, then why are there so many of them here? There's a link repository for mainstream porn studios with their own personal web sites. The truth is that alot of people use this for marketing themselves and their companies.

I think this page should be renamed "Altporn" rather than "Alternaporn". A search for "alternaporn" on yahoo revealed 760 hits. "Altporn" brought 15,000 hits. The page "Alternaporn" should redirect to "Altporn". Thoughts?
635:
The three or four altporn sites mentioned in the article right now are in there because they're historically important in the development of altporn, not because I'm cherry-picking personal favorites.

I agree with the preceding statement. I also think a separate page should be started listing Alt-Porn websites in alphabetical order. I will be starting this ASAP unless there are any objections?

A lot of people may try to do so, but they are not supposed to. If you see a mainstream Knowledge page being used as a links repository then either a) fix it or b) list it {{prod}} or for AfD.
