Not active enough to gain access

[Naked_boi]

I get the galleries are protected but it seems to take forever to gain access and the site is not active enough to build up your score in a reasonable time before loosing interest in the site

Not trying to offend or start and argument, but if you're here just to gain access to a gallery, maybe that's not the best reason to be part of this community.

If you want to see nude people, Google is free and easy.

I know what you mean about activity, got to make the forum more active somehow

[NudisBoo]

Afaik its about the mods noticing youre an active member, its not an amount of posts you have to achieve

[Octavia]

I think they have started taking longer to let people in to the gallery, which is probably fine. It's a small part of the site and to me it's one of the less interesting parts.

The galleries shouldn't be your main focus of coming here.

Yes, the forum isn't always active but people are living their lives and don't have an endless amount of time to devote to coming here.

I've been registered longer than you have and still don't have access (I tended to disappear for chunks of time) but yeah, that shouldn't be your main priority and I question why you would want it so bad? Plenty of naked people out on the internet

The gallery isn't very interesting unless you wanna see a lot of stock photos of nudists which you can probably find elsewhere if you need them.

I'm not knocking the site or complaining but it isn't really worth having "get gallery access at IYNO" as a life goal cos you'll almost certainly be disappointed when you do.

I think people are hoping to find exclusive photos here, maybe of underage users, but they haven't understood that they are and will be stock photos, unfortunately this forum is still full of people like that

This is my theory too, which is bleak

I don't believe it applies to everyone, and I don't wish to imply I think that of OP, but I do kinda inherently distrust anyone who prioritizes gallery access.

It's the fact I am keen to share my photography not just for thr access

It's down to the fact I have photography to share and keen to share with the community not anything else

Just keep participating in the forums in that case.  They don't update permissions on any sort of regular schedule that I know of.

I was quite surprised by the answers to your question. Just ask and they will slowly accuse you of wanting to ogle them in the gallery. But then I saw that it was written by people mainly from the US and they have a different cultural attitude to nudity than in Europe. So I kind of understand their attitude :D

But otherwise you're right about the activity. My main reason for coming here was to meet new people and talk more, but it seems to me that everyone writes their opinion on the topic but doesn't discuss much with others. People reply to topics and don't develop the conversation any further.  Anyway, it's still more lively here than on nudist sites in my country.

But it's also true that I'm quite active here myself, but I also tend to answer the original author's question and not develop the debate further myself, I'm trying to change that, but unfortunately I'm still learning English and partly still helping myself with the translator. Anyway, I'm working on it to get more comfortable with the English language (which, besides the environment here, I also need at work).

I don't think it's that reason, because most of the photos in the gallery aren't of forum members, they are just stock pictures that certain people here have uploaded because they think they represent naturism well

The reason the members here don't want people joining who just want to look at pictures is because those people don't bring anything to the forum. They don't contribute anything, they just log in, look at pictures of naked people and leave.

If a forum is to stay alive it needs people to contribute to conversation (even if you think their contributions aren't as good as you'd like them to be), so restricting gallery access to only people who have made the effort to be active on the community makes sense to me.

It's very well said and make a lot of sense !
