I'm not being an arsehole here, but stating the obvious.

[seventiesdemon]

Are the female contingent, becoming irrelevant on LPSG ? Apart from the few who have been here for some time, there are very few, if any, new recruits.

Am I wrong?

 

[MickeyLee]

The ladies of LPSG can never be irrelevant. We're fucking legendary.

The site has changed too much. Of the ladies still active in Coven Country most are long haulers from a very different era of LPSG.

Even we are posting less frequently. I am hoping the current ebb is seasonal and my witches return to post whoring glory asap.

*I felt that post @Tight_N_Juicy

Old threads get bumped and the lack of devil woman energy is depressingly apparent. *la sigh*

Etc., changed heaps too. My recall is keeping up with that forum was crazy. Like, go to lunch for an hour come back to the thread you were following being on the 3rd page.

*old guy at the county store voice* 2008-2012 were great years.

I hope so too Ms Mickey. We all eventually call it quits, just that I find the other half of the population is sadly lacking these days. Most blokes probably won't like this...but I think the brighter half of the population also hahahaha.

Not a crawler or a creep about it, just observation.

It gets old, what with the random dick pix, free sex worker requests and anti woman views so many will openly espouse.

oh, and the constant sexualization of my career.

and the site owner does not care.

I don't care?

This ML the once banned talking, NOT Mod ML. So, yeah.

My earnest belief is that Mr. LPSG knows what LPSG is like for women. He gives a fuck that showing up here with boobs is something like being a French fry to a flock of seagulls *critters not band. Flock of Seagulls owns*

His record for stepping up is better than any other LPSG Big Boss.

He made unsolicited dick spam/DMs an Inappropriate Behavior violation. Without that skip jail "reminder" as a buffer. And randos can be banned for it.

As seen in the post above me , he replies to our posts. Pre-Mod me had my PMs answered with personal replies. Never happened with Rob.

WI & AaW both have more freedom to post on some topics banned in other areas, in policing our space, veering threads into side tangents and the like. Coven Country is more like the old LPSG in tone than any other area because of it.

The straight porn forum is still a nightmare of "I have issues with women that I express through misogynistic violent trash porn." Even that's improved in the last few years. Several threads LPSG women have railed against through Rob's turn were quickly vanished once Mr. LPSG took over.

Trans spaces exist now. Derogatory terms are word filtered out.

Asexual folk have an Ask forum.

The Safe Space forum at the beginning of Covid Lockdown.

In hand with all the contest to keep spirits up. A few folk got a bucks boost when they might have needed.

He's assembled a fripping dope Mod Squad

TL/DR - Mr. LPSG cares/listens. He tries to find compromises to keep all sides content. He's honest and follows through. LPSG is his business, he's good at customer service.

Not a bad dude.

 

[MickeyLee]

Post Ramble: my post isn't intended to read lecture-y. The vibe should be gratitude list.

Like...nothing is perfect. Change is always an option. Look how far you've come...check list.

I still have a squick list. Some days my squick list feels like a fuck it all/this poop back breaking straw.

Blah...it's a run on brain day. Thank you for your patience

Speaking as a long time female member of this site and not as a mod.

This site has always been home to a pretty high number of misogynists. I have read, and continue to read, some pretty disgusting crap. My overall opinion of the opposite sex has really taken a hit. I try to fill my real life with as many good men as possible to offset what I encounter here.

But you know who didn’t care? Rob. I’ve been shown nothing but respect and kindness from Mr. LPSG. I believe he has treated the very few women here with a high level of respect and has consistently taken into account our opinions. I pretty much echo everything Mickeylee has said. The man cares about his business and tries to keep the membership happy.

Are there still misogynists here? Yes. Do random dick pics get sent? Yes. Do massage therapists get sexualized? Yes. And much worse. Some of that is against the current rules - misogyny and dick pics for example. Is it Mr. LPSG that doesn’t care, or is it the membership that doesn’t care? That sort of content has to be reported by membership - not Mr. LPSG. There is no way Mr. LPSG (and by his extension, the mod team) can read and approve every single post made on a daily basis. It is up to the membership to report stuff against the rules.

Has this site changed over the years? Yes. But that is a direct result of the membership. Some things were better 10 years ago; some things are better today. The only constant is change.

 

[seventiesdemon]

Wasn't meant to turn into a cut the tall poppy down thread. It's just I've noticed the dwindling numbers on one side and wondered why. The site has changed due to the growth of the net and the opening up of many more places to go. Yes, it's becoming more of a male oriented site, again, just wondered if any one had any idea to why.

I still enjoy the site when I visit, have a muck, and poke around, post a bit of drivel then toddle off for a bit.

 

[Holly Doors]

Yes I'd like to see more activity, I enjoy the women's forums and all the online friends I've made here over the years so I won't be going anywhere soon.
I'm not really an online kinda person really, really can't stand social media or anything Internet related tbh.
Apart from shopping sometimes, banking cos I'm forced to as physical banks are closing all the while and this site I don't use the Internet. Can't really put my finger on why I like it here, probably the chill vibe it gives me I guess but even tho it's changed a lot I still keep coming back to see what's happening

 

[deleted924715]

I can't speak for other ladies, but the changes in the site have led to me spending less time here. Not in protest, just a natural drift.

To me, this place used to be like when you would go to after-parties and every now and then would stumble across a cool group of people you wouldn't normally cross paths with (and a couple of pricks) and the conversation can get a bit cheeky, a bit deep, a bit funny and a bit random. You're always pleased when you see them and you know you're going to have an interesting time. Maybe a fight.

Now the site has more of a commercial feel, more of an "organised" fun vibe. I adore the mods we have now, but I'm not a fan of locking and cleaning up threads. I didn't contribute to the Politics forum but I liked reading it. I'd rather have the Politics crew than the Only Fans crew.

(Personally, I've found Mr. LPSG to be a good person. You can't please all of the people all of the time, but that seems to be his goal)

There are a lot of people on here who probably think I have a Pollyanna outlook on life. Everything's perfect in my little world.

Well, I don't like to drag a whole lot of my real life onto the internet. Real life ain't like that at all.

I've worked in a male-dominated industry for almost 20 years. I have been the target of so much misogyny in my daily life that I can turn if off quickly and go forward leaving the neanderthals behind by not giving them the time of day. I don't have time fighting useless battles.

I do the same here. I see the same kind of people on here. They're not worth my time. You're not going to sway them with words no matter how rosy or sharp they might be.

There may be a little satisfaction throwing a zinger now and then, but I can almost be certain it never lands near the target.

I should have been gone a long time ago. In fact, when I turned in my mod badge I thought I'd step away and fade into the mist.

But this is my community now, and I very often forget that it's about big weenies.

Oh wow, I know that comes as a shock to some of the Y chromosomers, but yeah, there have been days when I don't have a single peen thought, and I'm here almost every day! It's always the same rotation: Pinterest, Facebook, Weenie Town.

Irrelevant? Not us. Maybe the way we view this site is a whole lot different than the majority of members, but we're a small, stubborn community.

And the wonderful weenie-havers who are a part of our little community are awesome as hell, and I love every one of them!

Yeah, was a time when I thought I'd be a gonner too. Left, came back, changed the name (not that that made much difference, can't disguise the crazy )

Getting on in years I think, not going out as much dancing etc, not that I or we were ever flitterbugs out to paint the town red. But just found visiting once a week or so filled the need. Binge for a night.

I'm still am active on the work scene, I love too much what I do in building, plus people won't let you go off into the wilderness if you have a good rep.

I posted this thread as I've noticed the gender scale has tipped way to one side. Sins of the times I sspose, when the joint first opened up there weren't that many sites that catered for adult sexuality...with forums and not just pictures. As the internet aged, into it's early 30's, more sites have popped up which cater for different tastes, or needs. Perhaps it's just another sign of communication between the sexes becoming more distant. There are other social reasons too I spose.

Anyway, it's still a good place to visit when you don't feel like getting dressed up
