Does anyone have any insight into the effects of pornography on culture, and what alternaporn may point towards? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.205.96.61 ( talk contribs) 02:47, 9 April 2005.
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? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 222.99.170.56 ( talk • contribs) 02:13, 14 September 2005.
THere's no explanation of why this is considered NPOV. Personally, I can't really see what the tag is for. I'll come back after a while and see if anyone has a response. -- Jacquelyn Marie 20:13, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
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? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.173.114.136 ( talk • contribs) 08:39, 14 April 2006.
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. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.173.114.137 ( talk • contribs) 10:44, 17 April 2006.
Here's a good example, follow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pornographic_movie_studios and you will see a list of porn studios. If you follow a link, there is a description or article, along with an external link. It's like a backdoor links repository. So how about starting a whole new article on internet alt-porn? I would be happy to pick this up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.173.114.136 ( talk • contribs) 08:46, 19 April 2006.
Fair enough, but I think I will categorize web sites, not studios. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.173.114.136 ( talk • contribs) 09:23, 20 April 2006.
I removed the following statement added by NicM: "Some also consider political pornography, such as Vegporn.com, to be altporn."
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 altporn site, so I didn't feel obliged to add any text about them.
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. BurningAngel and GodsGirls also might deserve some specific mention because of their importance within the contemporary altporn mileau, but I haven't worked them into the article at this point.

User:Vendar aka User:71.56.142.123 seems to have blanked a sizable portion of this article three times in the last 24 hours. Should this be reported as WP:AN/3RR or just left to Iamcuriousblue to repair or commented on as a user conduct issue where there is already a candidate entry for this user? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.127.62.7 ( talk • contribs) 01:26, 5 September 2006.
The result of the debate was no consensus after two weeks. -- tariqabjotu 06:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Altporn → Alternative Pornography — Altporn is a contraction of "Alternative pornography." See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (acronyms) and Alt-rock vs Alternative rock. JaysPuppet 06:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I removed the following quote from the article:
I could not turn up a source for this quote after numerous Google searches, nor did I get a response after asking about it on the Burning Angel message board. Based on this, I think the above quote needs to be treated as apocryphal unless a source for the quote can be found. Iamcuriousblue 21:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
This is almost becoming a page filled with spam and biased data rather than factual. AltPorn.net timelines for example, and the BlueBlood About Us page. As seen in any Blueblood related Wikipedia entries, the owners and affiliates are abusing the Wikipedia guidelines. They have been actively indulding in the creation of their own references in order to validate the false data they present as factual. A more experienced editor should look into every page being edited by this user and into the BlueBlood marketing inaccuracies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.101.38.155 ( talk • contribs) 14:33, 23 May 2007
I already removed the following statement added by a user: "Some also consider political pornography, such as ShhList.com [3], to be a good source for altporn." 109.40.1.42 ( talk) 14:58, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
I edited to remove the section titled "Racism and Sexism in AltPorn", which consisted in its entirety of a POV essay/commentary, perhaps taken from a college or academic paper, which is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. Please remember that Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and that an extended discussion of opinions about racism and sexism in pornography really has nothing to do with the subject of the article.
