Didn't know if it would be better to revive a dead topic or create a new one, but I am curious about the part I highlighted in BiDaddyDon's message, as your message (I presume in reply to him) doesn't really seem to address it.
That the "Default" category is not shown on the
categories list page, the "Our Niches" list and the "Narrow Selection" list sort of makes sense to me. Though, I don't understand why the category is not just kept around for legacy reasons and why one can select it when creating a gallery, as I would assume it's just going to potentially result in uploaders getting fewer views when selecting it if they could have chosen another category, even if it's "Misc". As to get to the default category, a browsing user would first have to find a gallery that has the category, and I don't think there is much interest in clicking on a category called "Default".
That the "Bi-sexual" category is also not on the lists is however a bit weird to me. Sure, it's a bit muddled from its - I would guess - original intent of categorizing galleries with both heterosexual and non-heterosexual content and things like bisexual MMF group sex, as some users seem to use it to signal that they're bi when posting photos of themselves.
Yet it very much makes sense to categorize a gallery with it, if it consists of the aforementioned content. Which, again, I would assume results in the uploader getting less views. Most users are probably just going to search for "bisexual" if they are looking for that content and will probably not even get most of the galleries categorized under "Bi-sexual", as a lot of those galleries don't have the word "bisexual" in the description or title.
So, is there a reason why it's not on those lists?
