First let me say that I appreciate everyone that contributes their content (pro or amateur). Though, as FIASCo said, the line can be a bit blurry.
If more "amateur" content is desired then it's time for some of you guys to step up and make that change happen. Take out your cameras and share photos of your wives, girlfriend, and female friends with us (18+). Invite amateurs from around the web to share with us.

Everyone says they love amateur content yet when it's given the responses are minimal yet you go googoo gaga over the professional content and praise their posts.

I love both types but am particularly fond of candids, which I used to share on here fairly regularly. However over the last year or two there seemed to be an increasingly hostile attitude (via comments made) towards those of taking and sharing candids- so I stopped.
The feedback was based on the fact that most candids (in my case admittedly all) were taken without the female's permission. I totally understand and respect that so I stopped posting them but this was a rather marked "about face" in collective attitude from even a few years ago when candids were accepted without widespread criticism. Just wanted to give my .02 cents worth.

^^I agree... But I also think that people just have a preferences on what type of feet/photography style that they personally like. Comments do make you feel good about your work but I don't think that the lack of comments should stop a poster from posting what they think is sexy in their own eyes.

It also has a lot ot do with quality. Professional sites generally have better photography equipment, which leads to higher quality pictures and therefore more traffic and responses.

Hey guys, My content is totally amateur, I use non professional cameras (canon g12 or sony w70) and most of the times, I shoot myself using a tripod. I never took photos or videos in studios or with professional photographer. cheers, Cynthia

In my language, amateur can mean unprofessional. I don't live with this money or pay my bills with this money, I'm not a professional model and it only pays my costs with the production of the sets (clothes, pedicures, shoes and sometimes travels) and the costs to keep my website running, so I consider myself an amateur.

Exactly posted a pic of my wife last week without a single response .. A professional topic was done after mine that I thought was pretty boring and gets tons of responses ... I am not asking for praise or anything like that but if we are all here for the same reason then the actual members should have more conversation with each others posts rather than the pros .. JMO

I wonder if the mods would consider a wives/gfs/candids only content page. The stipulation I would suggest is no paysites or clipstores in that section, no vendors. No links to those sites. Keep those in the section they are in now.
Cy, according to the definition above you would be a "vendor" even though you are not a professional model. Just to be clear I LOVE your stuff and it is not my intention to offend or insult. That is not my intent. Nonono. You are universally admired.
Rather, I am making a distinction between someone who post pictures and says, "Here are some samples, there are more you can purchase at my website," (vendor) and someone who says, "Here is a snap of my wife's feet, hope you guys enjoy and I'll try to post more," (amateur).
And then 70 bazillion people complain about how the wife's post doesn't have soles/tops/obscure subfetish pics. And then another 800 bazillion people want to know how they smell and the orignial poster is not a sniffer and the wife who is getting her first slow intro into the footworld reads the posts and gets freaked out and we don't ever see her again.
Wow, I really sold it, huh? Sorry for the off-topic. Bye all,
