NN's blog post - Happy 23rd Birthday to NewbieNudes!

On this day, 23 years ago, I turned on this site.

A lot has changed in 23 years, but one thing has not. This is still, I believe, the best place online to be your true self, to drop all inhibitions and to fully explore your sexuality. On top of that, it's the place to meet like-minded people, form true long-standing genuine friendships, and just appreciate the true beauty of the human form.

As you all know, the last few years have brought considerable challenges on the business side of this website we call home. Firstly, with the introduction of ID verification and more recently age verification in many jurisdictions, including 22 states of the USA, the UK, France, Germany, and soon to be Australia.

While these did impact us commercially and continue to do so because many people are unwilling to partake in any verification procedures, I fully support them. We do not want underage people using this site or viewing its content, and thus we fully support the jurisdictions that have brought in these requirements and welcome more jurisdictions to follow suit.

Naturally, we were initially concerned about the viability of this site with these restrictions in place. The past three years however have proved that our members can see the value in providing some verifications, and we continue to survive, with even some growth reported in the past quarter, a very welcome sign things are only looking up from here.

As competitors and unmonitored pic posting sites fall as they will increasingly be unable to comply, we will go from strength to strength, and that benefits every member of this community.

Thank you as always to all of you our loyal members and of course our Moderators who volunteer their time to keep this place awesome. Thanks also to our dedicated small team of staff, without who we wouldn't be here.

So, Happy Birthday to NN, 23 years old today, here's to the next 23!

All the best to you all,
NN
