Nudists Go Societal With Skinbook Again!
Social Network - Skinbook Goes Back Online:
Skinbook, the fkk social network is back online but is it the real deal and is it legal? As many recall, Skinbook, the Facebook of nudism, took in as many as 100,000 members and became more popular than its top challenger websites True Nudists and Naturist Clubouse.
This all went downhill in September of 2010, when Skinbook's social platform, Ning, altered its terms and conditions prohibiting nudity. Now Skinbook is back on Ning using a former emblem of the first SB that replicated both the typeface and color scheme that facebook itself embraces, while adding a twistno nudity, different possession and more seasoned moderators.
For those who were fans of Skinbook, you may still have an unpleasant taste in your mouth when saying the name Skinbook. Most of this may be caused by an e mail that went out to all its members back on September 12, 2010 from the site's primary creator, Karl Maddox.
Nudist Social Network Skinbook
It is with much sorrow that I've come to the decision to bring Skinbook to an end.
After beach party (and money) we've put into saving the Skinbook network; the complaining, negativity, maltreatment and general lack of support we've recieved from our users has been quite honestly, disgusting I 'm no longer prepared to provide the Skinbook network to any members past or current.
As much as we've attempted in the last couple of years to bring together the nudist community and give the naturist lifestyle a favorable public image, the treatment of my team here at Skinbook has eventually made it clear (to myself at least) why this lifestyle is both fragmented from within and ostracized from without. What you take this to mean is up to you to speculate individually.
For me this revelation does not demand an explination, it needs just a reaction; my reaction being that from now on I see fit only to completely distance myself from this lifestyle (from both a philosophical and physical view) and most definitely from ANY medium which functions to promote it.
Good luck in your quests to find unity within your chosen lifestyle you need it!

For the purpose of legal matters we would like to make clear that we keep all rights to the Skinbook name, logo and any other affiliated media."
follow of Skinbook "The Facebook of Nudism"
Over a year has passed since the shutdown of Skinbook, leaving nothing in it's location other than a conventional care page on Skinbook.ning.com in addition to theskinbook.net; yet, a awesome website just emerged assembled by a assistant of Skinbook, who hopes to keep its name alive and well.
Even while Karl clearly states in his letter which he maintains the rights to the Skinbook name and symbol, this new creator, Dario, feels it's acceptable to animate the social network even while he was unable to find Karl while preserving a Facebook group and Flickr account under the identity of Skinbook.
"I thought I'd let you all know that I Have taken it upon myself to animate the principal Skinbook network, seeing as I already admin it on Flickr and Facebook likewise.
I attempted to track down Karl Maddocks to let him know, but could not find him everywhere. Anyway, http://solidcredit.org/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=nudist-video.net gather that he is no longer a naturist or a supporter of nudism and he'd likely just leave me to make of it what I will since the FB group has been sailing along nicely anyhow with no problems whatsoever.
With Ning, I couldn't use the exact URL he used to start it, so I've set it up as: http://skinbook1.ning.com"
Dario openly compares the fresh Skinbook Social Network to both the old and True Nudists in a forum. He states that Ning provides the user with better profile design and skin options for special customization. Not only did Ning prohibit nudity but they also tacked on additional prices for platform users. Dario considers these prices in his private evaluation between both networks.
You need quality, you need class, you want to ring societal changes - you gotta pay your dues for it!
Do http://damagecontrol.net/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=voy-zone.com see myself in competition with TN by doing this? Well, no, not actually. Individuals have a choice concerning where they would like to meet others and if they like it they're going to join (or re join if they were former members). I enjoy and respect this site and what TT1 is doing to make sure that it remains in good order. It is hard work running a web community, but I think if one's heart is in the proper position and you stick to it and give it what you have got the benefits are there.
I don't know Karl Maddocks in real life, but I think he did need to have a little stability and maturity to run a community like SB.
"There's https://sexbytes.elustsexblogs.com/?bmDomain=nudist-young.com and a place for everything" he says. A particular group was set up on both Flickr and Dailymotion to accommodate those who wish to share their photographs and videos with the group, although you won't be seeing any of this content on the genuine Skinbook website.
