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.
If it was split into regional boards all the fun would be taken out of the whippet & flat cap comments.

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.
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!
