Where Is Everyone??

3 Sep 2009

since I came back into the fold....ive noticed the distinct lack of.....well call them forum regulars, stalwarts, long timers, old timers....not sure how to address them lol

I wont name names but am curious as to where everyone is....are they all enjoying long hols?, being snowed under with work, have they moved onto a new non swinging life??........:shock: is there a new underground swinging heaven I dont know about, have they found a newer site they prefer........
or is it as I suspect, they have all moved on in silent protest at my return

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
wherever they are I hope life is going swimmingly for them and treating them well, and hope they dont stay away too long.......along with all the new and interesting posters we have now, its always nice to hear from the long stayers too.......makes me feel all safe and cosy seeing names I know and trust!!
**doesnt do change all that well **

3 Sep 2009

I am also noticing a distinct lack of ...... well not regulars wink

Not a clue where everyone is hiding MrsB but it is only just coming to the end of the school holidays, so perhaps the 'stalwarts' will start returning and keep us 'old timers' amused again lol

I've wondered that too, I thought I'd seen them off by slowly boring them to death...
I've heard from a couple of folk via pm but not many.
Perhaps they are actually too busy swinging? Stranger things have happened...
Or maybe they have just got continually fed up of the sniping that was made against "cliques", the "in crowd" etc made by some whenever they posted something in disagreement with someone else. I came across this myself a while back and it isn't entirely pleasant to have your motives for posting questioned and entirely misrepresented simply because you disagreed with someone, politely. It was an eye opener for me so I wound my neck in and dove for cover.
Or, they could just be bored with the whole thing and living on an island off the coast of Taransay, eating Eels and seaweed and frantically masturbating themselves into a merry, myopic retirement.
Who knows?
But I rather like the idea of the second.

You know nola's thang for digging up old posts yeah....
Well what we ought to do is dig up an old post or two from somewhere in the bowels of SH but only the original op's post, not the thread that ran from it,and see how it runs now compared?
Mind one has to be careful of treading the unknown line between lockable and OK rolleyes

Actually, Nola could be down there, tied up with BIoke being forced to go through all the perverse threads from the past. The poor people...
Is there any reason why Cherrytree and Earthchild are not posting? Has the (I hate to use this cliched word) "vibe" changed here? I kind of think it has even in the short time I've been here. Not necessarily for the better or worse, but it has certainly been quieter and in a way that also discourages me from posting. It's not nice seeing your posts lie unloved and unresponded to for days on end. I wonder if the dynamic of the site is slowly changing and perhaps in time the Forum will slowly shrink in size. It certainly seems to be a site heading towards instant gratification, rather than one were an at least cordial relationship was built before we all spilled bodily fluids.
Or is it because of pompous shite like that above, that people run away?

Yes there is a reason I'm not posting, in fact it's a combination of reasons. One of the reasons is the fact that I have been caught up in some real-life stuff.
But mainly it's to do with the site. I would like to leave it at that.

3 Sep 2009

the forum relationship building was what i loved, the flirting, the joking, and even thread hijacking cos it was extremely amusing on most threads, i dont think the site itself is necessarily any different, but the posting has dropped off, sites go through ups and downs, quiet periods and busy periods, the chat rooms certainly get a lot of traffic, but even they have seemed quieter of late.
the schools are only just about to go back, maybe once life settles down again people will be back, things changed for me last year when i lost my dad suddenly, my total outlook on life changed, and different things became important to me, swinging wasnt one of them, and still pretty much isnt. A lot of time is spent with family and friends, making cakes, going to the gym etc
my health and people i care about became a lot more important to me and i guess a lot of my time is taken up with that. and the fact that its the same old crap in the chat room everyniight and i am bored with it

In a few words i'd say that the place is "more sex less sexy"

Nah, your not boring or uninteresting.
Preggers and paranoid is what you is. And luffly too, so don't forget it!
(I LOOK preggers and I'm paranoid too, so I know what I am talking about)
In actual fact the vast majority of people I've come across on here, male or female have all been rather good folk. Granted there are one or two whose genetic make up I would question and whose social capabilities match that of a flatulent rhino, but in general almost everyone I've come across has been top notch.
And Cherry, I didn't mean to sound like I was prying into your reasons for not posting, I just wondered out loud if there was a common reason why many folk don't comment as much as they did (myself included). Apologies if I came across as a nosy-parker, I was just waffling through my fingers (as usual).

I didn't take it as nosy-parkering at all, I just wanted to expand a bit on my previous post x

I kind of have ideas about posting something, but then I always think "oh it'll have been done before..." so I lose faith in it and sit on my hands. I suppose being a long-standing member means you have some idea of what's gone on.
Is there really nothing left to discuss?
I could name some topics Jeremy Kyle stylee...
"Do oddly shaped testicles matter in a relationship?"
"Alternative uses for ejaculate : No 1 : Food colouring"
"Is brushing your pubic hair with your wifes toothbrush always a bad idea?"
"Anal sex. Good fun or a pain in the arse?"

i dont think theres anything wrong with threads being done again, as people join the forums am sure they have the same questions we all had when we firt started, and the longer standing members experiences may have changed or developed since the original thread was posted, but there doesnt even appear to be any of that.
