Change is Good
April 1st, 2006 9:18 am MST
It is a foregone conclusion that we, more than ever, are driven towards choice and variety in everything. And you may have noticed...being a tg online places you in the forefront of change, pursuing every possible outlet to explore your tg-ness, and demanding variety in that pursuit. Quite simply URNA is not the only outlet here for us to explore, and far from it! It is to Jon and Dans credit they recognize this, and constantly strive to make THEIR site OUR site. At first glance, I thought this latest evolution of the ratings system, effectively creating more "contests", seemed counter to the implied negative bent ive noticed from Jon and Dan on "ratings" overall. But it appears they are simply trying to strengthen an asset and make it more relevant to the broader community reflected at URNA today, and in the process move it away from a tired and pandering device dominated by the few. If we are going to rate (and apparently we are) it should be a mechanism for bringing us together and exposing us to the many facets of our community, not break us into factions, triggering the "manly" competitive zeal I have personally too often associated with the ratings here.
So three cheers to Jon and Dan for this latest effort to keep URNA fresh and engaging. I've already seen more new and eager members of our community as a result. I do hope this continues to be a dimension of this new face on ratings. Just another way to help us ALL appreciate that we are, in fact, SO far from alone!

Thanks Girls. The Main reason for Enhancing the Ratings System is to allow other people on the site, the GG's, the Admirer's, the Boi's, the Couples... to get some recognition. They are becoming a larger portion of our population and we hope URNA becomes much more Inclusive over time. Adding the ability to Rate this way and to Display Ratings this way, helps others to get noticed. We still do grant the Overall Ratings Winner at the end of the month the 1 year URNA Plus Membership, but, it gives people other than Girls (M2F) a better chance at being recognized and winding up the overall winner.
