RedClouds
Redclouds is the explicit section of Voyeurweb.
RC has the explicit contri and Econtri images. Also, Redclouds members gain access to the 24/7 Real Time Picture Posting Bulletin_board (see RCBB) and video chat. Some FRC sites also allow Redclouds members access to their personal websites. Redclouds memberships are annual (USD 27.95] and non-recurring. The membership fee is a flat rate for all Redclouds services.
History: Redclouds originated in the early days of Voyeurweb. The background image for the VW contri pages showed blue skies and white clouds. In order to get viewers to look through all the contri, the explicit images were linked on pages showing red clouds in the background image; thus, requiring the viewers to search for the red clouds to view explicit images.
Stats: Redclouds shows combined (regular sections, RC-HoF, explicit Econtris and RCBB a minimum of 10,000 pictures at any time. It is by far largest and most frequented explicit amateur site on the internet. As of 21st January 2008 Redclouds had 1,292,092 members. The 2007 renewal rate (renewal must be done by the member - no automated renewal) of members is 87%, which means that 87 out of 100 members whose membership expired after one year, renew within 4 weeks after expiration. (2008 renewal data not available yet)
Communities: Redclouds hosts many different interactive communities, cliques and discussion groups. Fetish-focused couples and singles, Gays, Bi-sexuals and swingers are amongst them. Regional Redclouds parties and get-togethers are organized throughout the year by volunteer hosts - completely independent from the RC management.
Interesting observations: While at the non-explicit Voyeurweb roundabout 63% of the contributors hide their face on the displayed images, at the explicit Redclouds section only roundabout 41% hide their face. The most displayed sexual activity are BJs, followed by vaginal sex, masturbation and anal sex.
Redclouds does not require explicit content. Some contributors prefer not having their naked images available to people who have not used the Adult Verficiation system to become a member. While some bashers may complain that a Voyeurweb-safe set of images do not belong on Redclouds, the adults understand that folks running Redclouds decide what does or does not belong at Redclouds.
After their lifetime at Redclouds, contris are moved into the archive at Funbags.com.
Redclouds does not feature any trial memberships or free memberships.
The Sept'07 issue of Playboy (USA) featured an article on Redclouds.
