I think he’s talking about “artporn.” I’m not sure why he chose to post it in a comment, but I think you shouldn’t take offense.
I think we can all agree artporn is not the best name, but it does represent how the idea differs from typical art sites: a modern approach to art where enjoyment and freshness is above all else. Where insights come from people who know about as much about art as everyone.
Posts are uplemmied based on enjoyment without politics, scandal, or hopefully any outside forces other than “Wow, I love this. I can’t believe I’ve never seen it before.”
If there is a better way to express that, I think we’d all be open to a change.
Also, hats off to crafty individual for making artporn (even tho he’s not fond of the name either), and posting so much great content. I am so grateful for all the work he put into this. He should be proud of all the joy this community has brought so many people.
Fair enough if I’ve got the wrong end of the stick, I was rather taken aback that anyone could infer anything pornographic from that linocut…Stand down red alert, lol

No worries. I think we’re all friends here, at least I’d like us to be.
which is a good example of why these porn based suffixes can cause problems.
