Do you think orientation (Straight, Gay, Shemale) is important?

Hi,

Do you think that having videos categorized by orientation is important?

Thanks,
Adrian

Depending on the kind of site your running it could be very useful indeed. I for one would use it on my sites. big_smile

Yes this is important, some people do not like gay porn, some shemale and some straight.

Re: Do you think orientation (Straight, Gay, Shemale) is important?

Normally when dealing with different types of content its important to have (what we call "sub-categories").. meaning the ability to further filter content based on a specific topic, in this case sexual orientation.

Example: I want to see Category = Reality Porn , with the sub category (or filter) set for Straight. This means Only Reality Porn Videos that are also tagged with the sub category for Straight will show.

Many eCommerce handle product categorization in this format as well (for example: Many of our clients use multiple sub-categories to define deep-filters of products for their site).

Glad to see this will be utilized in the next version of ASPRO

Having subcategories is easy, it gets complicated (mostly for speed, and we are dealing with 1 million videos cases). If you have subcategories and multiple categories for each video, it gets tricky.

True, I personally haven't dealt with a site with over 250k items, in my example it was an eCommerce site with 250,000 products/users/comments within the DB. We typically used at most 4 or 5 different subcategories/filters for a particular product.. So the system does get a little tricky with so many variations .. especially with DB processing (so many checks can quickly overload the system).

I guess we can think of it like :  Straight / Gay / Shemale are sections of your site, and within each section is different categories for those sections.. Similar to how Magento has "Stores" within your primary Site (eg: Each store holds different content, with its own set of categories).

Just curious on your advice for handling such a large site, I assume the DB server would need to be built pretty heavily to handle everything for that type of site.

Re: Do you think orientation (Straight, Gay, Shemale) is important?

There are a few methods to handle categories/subcategories in mysql. For unlimited subcategories, the best method is http://karwin.blogspot.ro/2010/03/rende … ables.html, but i do not think we need it. I will test with orientation in the main video table (only 3 options, 1 = Straight, 2 = Gay, 3 = Shemale, and we can have more if needed) and categories how it is now. Will have to test though.

Re: Do you think orientation (Straight, Gay, Shemale) is important?

Yes, something like that. By default there will be 3 orientations (Straight, Gay and Shemale) and then categories for each Orientation. For the main orientation, there wont be any diff (exactly same urls as asp1), however for the other 2 the categories will be gay-amateur, gay-twink, gay-category-slug, shemale-amateur, shemale-category-slug.

Re: Do you think orientation (Straight, Gay, Shemale) is important?

Maybe instead of using labels like "Straight / Gay / Shemale" you could try to use categories of what's in the video (e.g. solo/duo female/male/shemale etc) that users will specify when uploading. Reason is that a solo video is not really straight or gay from the viewers perspective. I think it matters what's to be seen in the video, not so much the sexual orientation. Just my two cents :-D

Re: Do you think orientation (Straight, Gay, Shemale) is important?

My two cents would be not to complicate things too much. People come to watch videos, not to browse through categories.
Anyway, always best is to look at those giants in business. Not only they know what is best for them, but also what is best for people, based on long time experience.
Simple is beautiful!
I remember in times of big SEO directories, options for multiple subcategoreis was real hit some years ago.
And I was the one who developed it first, wrote code and sold to big hundreds of people. After my idea there where thousands who went same way.
So I do really know what subcategories are, how they can affect business. But in video business, any type of video business I do not find it good option. Too much mess for both, script's developer and website guests. That's just my opinion. Everyone can have it different.

Re: Do you think orientation (Straight, Gay, Shemale) is important?

I believe this is a wanted feature because after discussing with many webmaster friends of mine including the public, I have come to the conclusion that this could be very helpful therefore I am personally hiring a developer to help me accomplish this feature. I would love to see this in one of V.1 instead of waiting til ASP 2.

Re: Do you think orientation (Straight, Gay, Shemale) is important?

Integrating this in 1.0 requires the same amount of development time as adding it in 2.0. I have started 2.0 for some time now (i have a lot of the admin panel ready). It contains a lot of database optimizations (moved to innodb), easier admin panel, better conversion (and more conversions enable/disable), better user groups permissions and many small improvements/features.

It makes sense. Are we allowed to fork the project on github or somewhere private and help contribute?
