- Max,
I was about to express my concern about the way lpsg.org has been going -- but when I logged on I saw that (as usual!) I was very late ... and a whole lot of people had got ahead of me.
I am one of the long-standing members here ... in fact along with one or two others like Donk an early migrant from the old large penis forum. I know this doesn't give me any particular status as someone whose opinions matter, but I am going to express them nevertheless:
The usual danger of a forum like this is that it falls prey to competitive bragging, show-offs, name calling, size queens (of both sexes) and the like; this is what happened to the old 'large penis forum'. But it has never happened here -- although there have been several occasions when someone has overstepped the bounds, on the whole the good sense of the vast majority of the members has dealt with it.
Keeping the forum on track has been achieved mostly by the simple expedient of ignoring someone who tries to stir up trouble or who posts something offensive -- I think this is the better way of handling it, though I can accept there may be some occasions when censorship has to be excercised. I think we can rely on Mark for that.
In logging onto this forum I accept that there will be some things here that may offend me, or that depict a life style I couldn't myself condone or accept. The net is very hard to police in this way; the only way is for me to ignore them.
My concern recently has been very different from most of the anxiety I have seen expressed in the last 24 hours. I take the view that the fundamental raison d'etre of lpsg is to help very well endowed guys deal with the challenges of having an oversized penis, and maybe to enjoy its advantages even more (and likewise for the partners of such men). As a young guy I could have been helped enormously by this forum and the advice offered here ... and I continue to post here only because I feel I might on the odd occasion be able to help meet this goal ... and to read the posts because maybe I still have something to learn .
But recently, in logging on ... and using the last 25 posts facility as I do because of time pressures, it seems to me that hardly one post in 50 or even in 100 would genuinely offer any help or encouragement or new ideas to someone who really needs lpsg.org. You have to wade through a whole heap of other stuff to find it.
I know that the cameraderie is important .. and the good supportive fellow feeling of a group of cyber friends; but I get the feeling that some newcomers may wonder what on earth all this is about .. a "party" which they have accidentally interrupted, and they may feel a little uncomfortable about joining, or a place with a real focus on issues to do with having a large penis. We've even had whole series of posts about the number of posts different members are chalking up ... What in the end can be the value of that ???
This may sound a typical rant from a middle-aged guy -- it is! --- but as Monstro (I think) rightly implied in a post near the end of the thread in "etc etc" .... internet dramas aren't worth it. Lpsg.org doesn't matter at all in itself ... what matters is that people get the help and ideas they need.
Rant over.
