Ii can see where Greg is coming from on this one, it is frustrating finding someone who sounds just right only to find out they live in Galsgow or Inverness, but that again I wouldnt want to miss out on chatting to some of the wonderful guys in those areas!!
Biggest improvement Id like to see at the moment is some way of identifying a posters status eg, active swinger, newbie wanting to be a swinger, or just a sightseer with no intention of swinging!! This would help so much , particularly as the site cotinues to grow!!
I give up.
I mean... I really like the board as it is. My frustration is not with the Cafe. The Cafe is great. As a social forum for people to chat, SH is excellent. As a place to meet like-minded swingers... well, it doesn't work for me. But I think most places fail on that count, simply because 90% of people are timewasters or live in Alaska. There's not much that SH can do about that.

Aah, so it doesn't work for you, so that's what it's all about. I've met hundreds of people from here, not all sexually (I wish!) and they have been from all over the country. I have travelled all over the country to meet some of them as well, none of which lived in Alaska. Rather than changing the whole Site for one person who's been here about a month, how about that person adapting themselves so they can also meet other members? Just a thought!

Now there's a good point well put :thumbup:
If it was split into regional boards all the fun would be taken out of the whippet & flat cap comments.

I've just sat here for a few seconds wondering wtf cat flaps had to do with anything :doh: rolleyes Time for another eye test I think lol
Mal... that was my point. I was admitting that it didn't work for ME. I wasn't suggesting that it didn't work for other people. All my suggestions for the board were just that - suggestions. I was throwing ideas into the air.
Personally, I do think that the Let's Meet Up part of the forum is rubbish. I also think the Cafe part is excellent.
I am used to using other messageboards (non-sexual) where there are lots of local people and it inevitably ends with meet-ups and drinks. For whatever reason, most of the people who post in the cafe are not near me so this is unlikely to happen. I don't really mind this - the Cafe is primarily for chat, rather than meeting people.
I was making some suggestions. I would be happy for other people to make constructive suggestions about the boards... anything that might get people thinking or possibly improve the place.
I have to admit, I agree with the majority on here that I LOVE the boards as they are, but then I suppose as I travel throughout the country for business the issue that arises for you is not the same for me, I have to say I personally really like meeting people from all over the country but I guess Im just a cosmopolitan guy :-)
In all seriousness, I think if one section of Swinging Heaven needs to be changed it is all the false advertisers on the Ad's section. (Damn Spam)
But Overall I think the place is wonderful, so many friendly (and damn sexy) redface people :-)
In defence of some potential change as per my other post, I wouldn't want to see the cafe change either. However I have found it a nightmare to search for local people in adds or meet contexts, as we all have a different idea of what to call our area. I would like to see a limited drop down choice of 'area' in addition to the current free text 'Location' field to help us searching for friends close by.
Don't think that would change the boards, or adds that much. However at least you could search the lets meet type boards by area, and have a reasonable chance of seeing all the posts in your area. Now if you limit using keywords to say Surrey, you miss all the wonderful peeps who list themselves as South, or Godalming, or somthing similar.
Just where my thought came from smile
Please don't change it, only been here a few weeks and beginning to understand what it is about and what is acceptable.
I lke the idea that at some point we could meet & talk to people from further afield. Beginning to understand that this is like real life and not every conversation or post is with the sole aim of having sex. So what if not everyone is from around the corner, I get the impression that this is one large community not lots of small local ones
I also like it the way it is, unfortunately another London guy, and seems most fun is to be had up north, will sell my little two up to down and buy a mansion of fun up north
Better do it soon. When they remove the cobblestones from the M62, prices will soar!
