lol

@jushavnfun: so havnfun....as a newbie what got YOU to participate....mebbe we can draw some more in that way?

@JLaDawn: Honestly I think we have alot of "young" scared members that are afraid to open up to any discussion other then PG material. Maybe they have seen a nude pic, or gotton a dirty message, but remember when we used to be able to discuss toys, sex on horseback, sex in a church and no one ever thought twice about it? A few would still participate in those threads, but some would just be to scared. And lets face it, we're adults so adult topics are mandatory for entertainment, atleast every now and then

@Briteeyes: not just the sex topics either....we cld discuss religion, single parenting, government or heck ANYTHING. And tho sometimes there was drama(yep u & I wld know ALL abt that) we weathered it and cld still converse like adults. Why not now...I bring a topic and no one will respond unless it is funny or fluff.

*raises hand lmao Because, people get attacked for their opinions girl. I'm sure you know all about that as well. If it's funny and fluffy, people don't take it all so seriously and can actually get through a thread without getting dunced!

Another thing I have noticed is that too often the very first or second response to a thread is negative. Mebbe thats putting ppl off?

@JustMeAndYou77: ur right I know all abt that too, I get attacked for my opinion all the time...but if I am giving my opinion respectfully those attackers finally figure out they just gotta quit trying.....mebbe the newbies just don't know how much enrichment the forums CAN bring to their search for love so they just clam up?

I love participating, I'm on my phone and sometimes its hard to keep up in conversation.

I wish it could got back to the way it was but i dont see that happening any time soon. Though its seems like good memories to us dinos that have been here along time.
