It's been said probably a million times but LPSG goes through these up and down periods all the time. I'm just glad that I've always been able to find something that interests me enough to keep me here during the down times.

I think there is less substance, and this may be cyclical, but I also think that the long-term trend is worrisome.

Partly, that's just a result of the great increase in membership. It's less a family now, and many of the older posters have lower profiles than before.

Perhaps because we are dealing with more strangers, there has been a fall-off in respect, I believe. I think I'm less respectful than before. (Actually, I'm a dick, sometimes.)

There's definitely less substance in the Etcetera forum.

I still put in time here, but feel I get less back. And the relationships I cherished are now on a lower flame.

We've had these lamentations before, many times. Whether it's really worse, or permanently worse, I don't know.

Bliss: You asked the question. What do you think?

people always complain about internet forums changing. if you started a cleansing, in a year's time you, or someone like you, will be complaining about how all the interesting boarders are gone.

I wasn't refering to your butt measurement :eek:

Well you should - it is worth mentioning.

I really didn't notice a drop in intellectual content after the schism to which you are referring - there had been a slight rise in dross around the same time - so the intellegent comments did seem fewer and farther between - but people like Osiris and wldhoney arrived with us around then and while I do miss certain posters who no longer post here often (if ever) I think there are still plenty of good types around here too.

Well, then, everyone is going to hate me and probably will never talk to me again because I disagree.


Crapping:

When I joined (July 07) there was FAR more crapping and shitting. And even then, people were saying it was better then that it used to be.

Maybe I'm too new. Maybe there was a "golden era" long, LONG ago when things were different.

BUT, it's better now than it was several months ago.

And nasty people get removed pretty quickly (two in the last 10 days). So I think we have it pretty much under control...

Use the "Report" option on posts that are inappropriate. Also-- SAY SOMETHING! Some people do (and I'm one of them). I'm sure that some regulars don't like me because I say "hey!" to their nasty comments, but so what?? I also "stick up" for people when I see them being crapped upon.


Boring:

I believe that there WERE some interesting threads lately,such as the Men Crying at Movies thread, the Porn/Erotica thread, the Men Touching Themselves thread (just for gross-out, shock value), and quite a few others, including a few started by TallBig (even though people came down on him).

I also believe that boredom is a mindset -- it's almost impossible to entertain a bored person because the boredom comes from inside of them.

And it really gets my goat when people sit there and moan, "oh this is boring..."

Don't whine!

Start a thread that YOU find interesting.

Maybe someone else will find it interesting too.

OK, I'm going back to work. I'm not going to be here to defend myself, so crap on me all you like.

Maybe I won't even come back at all.

Boo!!

Thank you flim.

All I will say is do you know the difference between then and than!? :tongue:

Or are you a faker hehe. No English teacher would make that schoolboy error :biggrin1:

And I do agree. If you don't like the quality of threads make your F'ING own!

And age /= wisdom. All the over 40's used to do is have fleshpiles. Is that the intellectual element that is missing? Je ne pense pas! Zut alors!

If you're bored here, go somewhere else. Perhaps pick up a hobby? Or a hobbit?

Perhaps this thread is LPSG in microcosm. A serious subject is introduced, there is some intelligent response and debate, then the rot sets in and the mud- (sorry - shit) slinging starts and there is a general cultivated unpleasantness. Well - this seems to give some people pleasure, that's they way they are.

Having made that little observation, I should think that many who have been around for some time have noticed that the site now opens its doors to all, sundry and everybody: it is - for better of for worse - no longer literally "LPSG". It is for every shade of sex and sexuality and, seemingly, every topic under the sun can be raised, and is. It may have lost something, but it has gained as a most extraordinary (and probably unique) forum for debate, intellectual discourse, eroticism, advice and encouragement, those seeking some kind of friendship, exploration into every possible point of the sexual compass ... and, for those who get a kick out of it, a platform for foul language and general insult. And much more.

My tip would be: enjoy what catches your eye, follow it up, contribute courteously, ignore what you don't like ... and move on. The site can only be a good as we make it. It's meant to be fun.
