I tend to call it the "manure pile" myself. I still use it. I mean... there are some diamonds in the manure pile (good fics buried under all the bad). There are even a few small forums (for small or obscure fandoms) that are mostly good fics.
I like to think that I write some of the gems that get lost in the manure there.
I see no problem with insulting the site, but still using it. Those who insult just... wish it could be better, you know? It's an easy system to use... you get readership... it's just that most of the good stuff gets lost under all the bad. You've got to search for it. It's like digging for treasure.
Some people, unfortunately, seem to get their only readership there.
Oh, and NC-17s are the staple of Adultfiction.net... which the Godawful Forum people call "The Pit of Uber-Voles." A few users post there.., but... how can you NOT call a place that allows "Rugrats" and "Gummi Bears" porn - and gets submissions - that?
