SM-201 Mission Statement

The mission of SM-201 is this

SM-201 is a project to create a free, complete, up-to-date, and reliable world-wide guide to BDSM and its history.

SM-201 articles should be useful for at least the following purposes:

  • For finding good content,
  • For finding honest history,
  • For finding honest reviews,
  • Become encyclopedic. SM-201 aims to inform people about BDSM, alternative sexuality topics, history, and a repository for a few "Special History Projects" by its author. If you find yourself needing references and footnotes on SM-201, whatever you're writing should probably go to Wikipedia instead.

I would like to think that someday, SM-201 will be compared to the Byzantine Suda. [Note 1]

There are probably hundreds of other uses for SM-201 articles; these are ones we try to keep in mind while authoring and editing pages.


Non-Goals

These are some specific non-goals; things people might think we want to do with SM-201, but we don't:

  • Create a site with adult content. SM-201 is not a porn site.
  • Create a new place for adult advertisements. SM-201 is not an advertising driven site.
  • Create corporate promotions.
  • Provide more search engine spam. Every page should be relevant, meaningful and useful.
  • Provide a personal homepage or dating service. This is not a social network for user profile pages.
  • Become a chat board or blogger site. There are plenty of Web-based and email discussion groups on the Internet, where people can talk about their experiences, ask questions, complain, make friends and joke around. SM-210 has discussion pages for each article, but these should be used to develop the article itself, and not as a "comments" area. Anyone can edit a SM-201 article; if you have useful information about a topic, put it in the article itself.

There are probably lots of other near-miss goals that people might think we have; if needed, we'll list those here, too.

Future

  • I am planning to reopen BackDrop at some level in the future (post-covid)
  • Another website (SM-301) to augment the current SM-201 site

Notes

  1. The Suda or Souda (/ˈsuːdə/; Medieval Greek: Σοῦδα, romanized: Soûda; Latin: Suidae Lexicon) is a large 10th-century Byzantine encyclopedia of the ancient Mediterranean world, formerly attributed to an author called Soudas (Σούδας) or Souidas (Σουίδας). It is an encyclopedic lexicon, written in Greek, with 30,000 entries, many drawing from ancient sources that have since been lost.
