Nola I have no upset, I was just making I felt an observation of what I saw.
I didn’t know who reposted them it was just I was going through the threads and one of the things I look for is the date first posted to see if I would have read it before.
And I started to notice a trend so started counting, and thought I would comment.
It is funny though 99% of all that have responded to this thread have been here from 2004-2007
Hi! :welcome: to the forums.
I think when writting an ad or profile just be honest in what you are looking for and tell people a little about yourself.
I do believe some people join this site feeling it will be a quick fix, and generally it isn't. A lot of people like to become familar with talking to someone first, and take things slowly.
Time and patience is a virtue.
I did look at your ad and profile, all seems ok with them, you are pretty young that could be a factor with some here.
I think the best advice I can offer just start talking on the forums, or pick a chat room near to where you are based and get yourself know a little.
Hope this helps a little.
After reading the forums of late and at one time myself being a thread maker.
All I seem to see are threads dug up from years ago.
I know a lot of people have strong feelings of what used to be but I believe being a relative newbie here, we get put off from doing new threads as they seem to go into oblivion very quickly.
I like new topics but feel the old threads belong to others and dont really feel part of them.
some of the topics are really good and could be repeated like a new thread.
I think it is better to have threads that people here presently can have input in I just feel it could be a bit off putting having pages already.
Am I the only one that feels this way?
Just a word of warning as I just read a thread on another post about pictures appearing on other site.
It is very easy to take a copy of peoples pictures here, what some will do with them well I wouldnt like to think.
The only pictures that I believe to be safe are the ones in priavte files.
I am sure someone will correct me I am wrong.
Another thing I have found someone sent me a private picture link the other day, and when I opened it anyone that had peviously sent me a invite all come up, so I could see all their private picures too.
Kent I have taken my children up to London for the fireworks a couple of times now on new years eve and have never had any problems. But we have driven and parked near blackfrairs and walked the rest of the journey. We also went up for the Queens birthday celebrations with the children to the mail when they had the concert on big screen. It was really busy getting back to the station but we did expect that so planned to hold on to the children in case we lost them. It is to be expected the amount of people at these types of events are going to be huge and some would be drinking etc. But I have never seen and trouble.
There are too many diverse types of people, or differing opinions here, for it to be lovey dovey nicey nicey all the time, and in my opinion.
To be able to have a disagreement then to be able to show that at a later stage that people can be civilised towards the same person shows true adult behaviour.
To have a disagreement then to be able to be polite and not hold a grudge is the way forward I believe. There will always be times when people disagree and seem to argue.
I say leave them be to sort it out themselves it is when others jump on the band wagon and try to interfere I see that it can then all get out of hand.
What I have seen in the past if people are left alone to fight their own battles generally it all sorts itself out.
When people try to calm things make jokes, start to interfere I see it as stoking a fire. That was only a simmering pile.
Live and let live, be and let be, Mods are here if it gets out of hand, I see them as policing the forums not the normal posters and a fine job they always do too.
Neither. I'm a party animal who doesn't dance. I don't just sit and observe, I chat to people and enjoy myself in ways other than dancing. Although yes, once I've had a few drinks I'll probably have a dance as well.
It implies a lot of things which aren't true, and just because people aren't dancing doesn't mean they're just "sitting and watching other people enjoy themselves" 
you have to get your balls out! 
, more to the point, if it gains people's interest to come back and post, good on the rejuvenated threads :2fingers:
