FR I am not so sure that there is a decline, as much as there is a movement away from what the forums were when I got here. Many here want to have serious conversations about topping and bottoming, extreme play, poly, and other things that relate to the, for lack of a better word, scene. Others, like me, hang out to discuss stuff in general, because this is one place I can hang out, talk about recipes and the sadness on the news that day, and know that if my humor, sarcasm, fat ass, freckles, or something catch the eye of a dominant male, he will know by my being here, that I have interest in a d/s relationship, and we might connect. There are some who, when they see a question from someone new, feel the need to make some remark about how stupid, ignorant, hopeless, pick your adjective, the poster asking the question is. This normally cause a chain reaction of others joining the dogpile, and I would bet that many who would be interested in learning about the "scene" run like hell after the baptism in fire. Of course, I am guilty of calling others stupid, without using a "you" , on things that are non scene and lifestyle related, because my knowledge on the subject makes me think they are spewing horse shit, so that may be why those in the scene, lifestyle, whatever you call it feel justified on calling newbies on their ignorance. Even though there is a difference in the two things to me, I realize I may not know everything, and my impression could be wrong. All that said, I miss the humor of Domi and Jeff and Aileen. I miss the serious discussions that used to be had involving merc n beth and others who no longer come here. I even miss the dick flapping contests between the funny and the serious posters. But I also understand that they felt it more important to be true to them selves than to back off a bit when told to do so by the mods. So, all in all, this typing leads me to say, it just is what it is. I will continue to come here and take what I want to, hopefully do something other than appear stupid occasionally, maybe even help someone find a smile every now and then. I will also continue to roll my eyes at things that *I* find to be ridiculous, do my best to remain within TOS, and, if it ever reaches a point that me stating my opinion about something is more important to me that following the rules here, I will give my opinion and take whatever is handed to me by the mods. I know, yall wish ya could have what I am smokin, but, it is all gone now til I get some more!
