Just my two-cent's worth really. I'd be interested to see what other forum members think of my ideas, and of course feel free to add your own!
* Names for the Agonees - Not their real-life identities of course, but I've always thought that simply assigning a number to each Agonee is an oddly dry way of going about things, after all plenty of the contributors are already listed on other sites. It would be nice to avoid a dual-personality situation though, for example #0048 is called Naomi at ISM, Mardi at Abbywinters, and April at Girls Out West, which is plainly silly.
* Better video quality - most clips are fine picture-wise, but tend to be a bit on the small side. I can recall Hi-Res versions of some of the clips were posted briefly in the Press section a few weeks back, these were amazing to watch and really enhanced the viewing experience. It would also be nice to have more choice as to movie format, for example in my experience Quicktime has always tended to provide consistently excellent results.
* More clips per week - this might seem greedy, as four new clips plus the Overkill section is already quite healthy. But I don't think the site should necessarily limit itself to just one clip per contributor (or occasionally two if we count Overkill); there are plenty of contributions which are generally agreed to be popular (e.g. #0085, #0160, #0200), perhaps more could be done to presuade the Agonees back to supply further material. One way to do this might be to provide a two-tier membership as is the case at ISM and Abbywinters, e.g. a Standard membership buys you access to the four weekly clips, whilst an Extra membership (for more $'s of course) gets you access to a much-extended Overkill section, plus perhaps weekend updates. There's nothing wrong in wanting more of a Good Thing, after all!
* Upcoming thumbnail teasers - similiar to ISM, where you can get an idea of forthcoming updates by way of the 'Look Out For These' section near the top of the front page.
* Greater presence on this forum from the BA staff - Shannon was quite chatty during the first week, and a chap called Richard has occasionally posted on here, but other than that nothing. Come on, this is a real opportunity to interact with your (paying) customers, you shouldn't let it pass by! There's an interesting story to be told here, trouble is nobody at BA seems to want to share it with us.
* Beautiful Agony DVD - now this has been mooted on another thread I'm sure, but I think it would be a wonderful idea and could really help to bring the site to a far wider audience. I guess the content would be a mixture of popular existing clips plus a few unseen tantalizers.

better - more - greater ... Good is not good enough, is it?
It´s always the same, pity...
The only good idea is to get rid of the #-cover. A change that I recommend for long.

Dont change anything:
Names might seem like a nice idea, but not every contributor would wish to be named and there is a real danger that stage names would degenerate to something like porn-star names.
Better quality video would be very welcome, but these could be placed in overkill.
More would only be good if there is no drop in quality. One new agony per day is enough, if there is more material that that, I would prefer rejection of some offerings in favour of highest possible quality.

NUMBERS do degenerate. Although you´re right about the porn-star-thing I prefer the agonees to be *named* in another manner than by numbers. Perhaps the problem is another one: not the act of quoting the person behind the number (if I refer to a #-clip), but to SEE them as a simple number, as material or stuff. THATS what I dislike!

I would love more indepth presentations of the agonees. The agonees that appear in OV section and talk about themselves or the agonees that debate in the forum (like Ruby) are good examples. I enjoy the clips much more now hat I know a bit more about them.
So please encourage the agonees to be more open.

hey- thanks for the compliments about my contribution Patrick! (why would I say it was me if it wasnt??)
If I was lying then I would have picked the hottest girl on the site and then claimed to be her- actually no, I would have been much more conniving and claimed to be a man and then post from an obviously female perspective .
Watching it is excruciating at times- I sort of dont feel like it is me. Plus I have never actually seen my face when I orgasm. I Dont spend enough time in front of the mirror obviously. Also I keep on willing myself to get there- altho I know that I will, but its like come on girl, you can do it. Its like other photos on ISM or whatever- you do become pretty detached, as an image of me isnt really me. Its just capturing a moment in time, a frozen glimpse. Or 10 minutes of my life .
If feel that way when I watch other agonees too.
Sometimes it makes me really turned on, to watch myself and see the concentration on my face and the blood rise to my skin as I get there. My jaw is uneven and I didnt notice it before really all fascinating stuff.
An agonee is like a study of the face.
Funnily friends who I have told that I am on the site havent been able to find me, as my thumbnail shows me in the throes of a good come!! Ha

I'd like to see a possibility to comment on the individual agonies, kinda like at ISM. That'd be really nice.

Ruby,
I am sure you are telling the truth. It is just that on Internet you can claim to be anybody if you wish.
I love your views on different subjects and your agonee of course. any plans of doing another one?
What do you think of my idea that a couple should try to film an agonee together during intercourse? The camera could be on the girls face for one clip and on the mans face the next. I would love to see a girl climaxing during real sex, the trusting and the motions add a lot to the exitment...

What is ISM?
Offline
We've asked a few people to get their partners involved so look out for those on ISM, though I have to say the success rate hasn't been great so far.
What has been working well is to get some comment from (almost) every Agonee, after the fact. Some are recording their own impressions, in private, on the spot. Others we interview. Look out for these soon...
ISM = www.ishotmyself.com.

I think a nice new twist would be to see a few that use either the water jet from a jacuzzi or the bathtub faucet. I've seen a few of these in the past and have read that alot of women "started out" by using those methods. Way back when my wife and I first got together she demonstrated the Jacuzzi method, what a turn-on! She did it while I held her and she came faster than I've ever seen her before or since!It may be a challenge to film one of these since camcorders and water don't mix and the running water or the roar of the jacuzzi will probably drown out any sounds the woman is making.
On another totally unrelated note, I've noticed a few of the agonee's have been wearing headphones. It gave me an idea for a product that would make Apple bigger than Microsoft. A vibrating ipod! :-)
I've been a member for a couple weeks now, what a great site! The one thing that always frustrated me about all porn is that they don't show the girls faces enough! After a while, seeing all the genitals gets so boring! The face is what makes each person unique! I don't even mind if a few are faking it. To fake it they must STILL have to reveal a little of what they look like during the real thing! I think all of the participants of this deserve alot of credit, even though they are not revealing their bodies to us, they are revealing much more of themselves.

In response to Richard of Bath & wells:
I agree that bigger videoclips (bandwidth allowing) would make for a better user experience, but you seem to be missing the point in regards to the rest of your 2005 wishlist - the temptation to turn this into a cheap porno site could be/would be there with enough numbers....
Read this interview, might give you an insight: http://www.eros.com.au/journal.php?id=253
Btw: I found the site interesting and made for a refreshing change. I'm a cheap bastard though - interesting art piece, but not sure that i'd pay more than $10Aud for a month to be be a member.
Original idea - good stuff.

I can't see how any of my other points would result in Beautiful Agony becoming a "cheapo porn site", quite the opposite in fact.
Thanks for the interview link though, extremely interesting reading, it certainly makes me appreciate just how quickly the site has expanded already.
PS can anyone identify the Agonette at the top of the article? Not sure I've seen her clip on the site so far.........?

I think there are plenty of good and great ideas being mooted here, and I guess that that is one the pleasures of being part of a forum such as this -- a chance to collaborate in the creation of something special.
I don't know who the girl in the great interview is is but BOB&W i just had to say that "agonette" made me giggle, I love it.

Yes Ell 215 was a great interview It seems to me she has enjoyed masterbating with partners for some time and her willingnes to tell us about her experiences was wonderful

I think showing the agonees chest would not convert this page to a cheap porn page. It would still be erotic art.
My biggest wish is to get to know where the agonees are from. Sometimes I
see an agonee and think: Well she looks french, or she looks greek...
I know its part of the mystery but couldnt you tell us their origin mabe a month after the clip has been posted?

She's #61, but the still wasn't taken from her video, it was done with a 'proper' camera.
