Contributing to the Site

Well... as a "founding" member of the 1000 post club... (that was a surprise to see!)

I remember back in the day when lily and delia spent some time in the F&G sections. It was a different time but it was fun.

I also remember a time when Radiance must've had a little more time on her hands because I saw her in the chat room often.

Things ebb and flow - our personal lives, this site...

I came here in 2006 looking for D/s information. I found it. But - as a few others have said - I found a lot more - mostly through the F&G threads.

2 years ago, I didn't have much to contribute as a "newbie." So I don't think I would've met the people I did - very important people in my D/s education! - if it hadn't been for the flirting & posting in the F&G threads.

I think Fun & Games has its place for those who wish to play.

And for those who wish to debate, discuss, question - this is also the place to be.

*group hug* :rolleyes:

While I don't contribute much to the fun and games or the welcomes, I actually see value in them. As some have mentioned, the fun and games acts as a kind of chat and get-to-know-you place. Many of the friends I have made from this site were those that had interacted with me in either of those threads and I'm extremely grateful.

Personally, I pay little attention to post counts. If you want to know the meat and bones of a person, just look up their posts and profile, or better yet, send them a PM!! There are several members I feel I "know" based only on what they've posted! All of the personal interaction and connections contribute to this site in whatever mode works best for the individual members, in my opinion. A person can glean plenty about someone by reading posts they've made in any thread. Tone is not hard to recognize either. All of which, for me, appears to be contributing to the site.

With so many negative connotations regarding BDSM, the lighter side of this forum helps to soften that image! (Again, only my opinions. Just my initial impressions upon joining the site a few months ago.)

Just my opinion but I believe thrall contributed very much to the site in April. It may not be just my opinion since I see she won 3 categories where competition was encouraged. Good for you thrall.

I think these two sentiments say it well, and say it all-inclusively.

Much like life, people contribute in their own way, on their own time, and with whatever piece of soul they choose to share with us all. There is no real good or bad - just what we have chosen to reveal...

And isn't that really what it is all about, on this spinning mass of rock 'n water?
