i joined originally so i could review stories, then i read some threads to learn and listen to people who were living the lifestyle hands on, flesh to flesh. i actually joined the academy if i remember rightly, but have not been there for a long time.

why do i keep comming back? the library still has some of the best reading around for free, the threads are varied and interesting, the member base is large enough that if i just feel like lurking for a while no-one gets upset, but if i want to say something i wont be howled down. i live in a fairly small country town, with not much chance of meeting people face to face, so for me, this forum is a life saver.
