    An age-old question. Let's see if we can answer it.

    The poll is multiple choice, so feel free to choose what you like.

    Are you saying you're creepy because of your interest? Just curious.

    If significantly more people know of the person than the person knows, they are a celebrity in my book. If their name can be Google'd and there are many hits that aren't social media profiles, they fit my definition of celebrity, even if they are z-list...and I want to see their nudes lol!

    I really think rather than banning lower level celeb "leaks", there should be a single thread for the lesser known variety. That way, those who want to see them can do so, those who don't care can just avoid the thread. I don't see the harm in that.

    I think we can be a bit looser with our definition here in Celebrity Extra, but in Celebrity Photos we should maintain a higher standard.

    And for the record, I don't think Page 3 girls and the like, or lingerie catalog models belong in CP, and I've tried to push that issue on several occasions only to have my recommendation for a separate forum shot down. Maybe someday, who knows?

    I'd think you'd be able to differentiate between Google results that relate to work, inventions, advertisements, college accolades, high school accolades or sports results, etc. (which nearly everyone has) with celebrity type results (modeling pics, forum posts about them, "best of" picture collections, "hottest wives & GF's" of athletes lists, reality TV discussions, etc.).

    question was answered in late 1996 on alt.binaries.nude.celebrities.female (newsgroups for you newbs ((usenet for those who were there)))

    http://faqs.cs.uu.nl/na-dir/nude-faq/celebrities/female.html

    "Q: Who qualifies as a celebrity at ABNCF?
    A: Any personality who is generally well-known in the fields of
    entertainment, sports, television, and the print media, including, but
    not necessarily limited to, actresses, supermodels, female athletes,
    and other female personalities who can be readily recognized by the
    public at large. (For example, Monica Lewinski and Queen Elizabeth are
    celebrities even though neither have ever intentionally entertained
    us, while "Mary Feelgood," the newsgirl in Bumstead, IL is NOT because
    she is not generally know to the public outside of that city.) Since
    ABNCF is read by a number of users outside the USA, this may also
    include women who have gained celebrity status in other parts of the
    world but may not, as yet, have gained fame in the United States. It
    should be also noted here that as the title of this newsgroup implies,
    only FEMALE celebrities should be posted here (unless, of course, you
    want to be flamed to within an inch of your life). "

    It worked on usenet, then it worked on IRC, then it worked on the early celeb boards. Parts of it were swiped from Rusty-n-Eddies bbs before most of you were born and parts we wrote in abncf.

    I have no idea why it needs to be redone after only 20 years of success.

    This was an archived post from Foxfire (RiP) in 2002. He hosted and maintained it for us for several years.

    Just find the right way to decide who is and who is not ! ...
    The Mods have to say ... Up to you guys !

    1. Any Actor with an Imdb Profile
    2. Any Actor with a Recognizable Name/Body of Work
    3. Anyone the Paparazzi Merits Stalking
    4. Anyone Who Regularly Appears on TV

    6. Anyone Who Achieves Their "15 Minutes" of Fame
    7. Anyone with "Leaked Pics (videos)"
    8. Anyone Featured (even briefly) in a Lad's Mag Like FHM
    9. Naked Women in General
    10. Media Darlings of the Moment
    I think the following fall in the category of either fame-hungry people or victims of stalking:
    1. Any Actor with an Imdb Profile
    3. Anyone the Paparazzi Merits Stalking
    5. Any Public Persona We'd Like To See Naked
    7. Anyone with "Leaked Pics (videos)"
    9. Naked Women in General

    It's quite clear the troll phase of the last 2 months is over and the threads in the CX sub forum have simmered down a bit but it was annoying as fuck. I have only kept visiting because there is no other place like this. Superiorpics isn't as fast and active (I think) and nudecelebforum, well that got sold, reorganized, sold again and so forth.
    So I say: tolerating this content isn't much of deterrence towards the wayward crowd, imho.


    Note: this poll is really easy to manipulate if this gets linked on the "right" (depending on your view) site and I hope this will be accounted for.

    Because times change and so do opinions.
    I posted the poll for entertainment purposes and to get an idea of current opinion. No one is thinking of a policy change at this time or in the foreseeable future that would be affected by this poll, or any other.

    That's largely my opinion as well. Although I'd include male celebrities. :p

    The fact that this comes second so far...is majorly disappointing on who is viewed a celebrity!

    Maybe a Male Section, but with Phun advertising and the Big Female Ass pic at the top of the forums, I think predominantly it should stay female for productivity sake ;)
