Why did you join this Forum?

ThisGirl: I guess the idea was to ask "what brought you here to the BDSM forum, how did you discover it and what were the things that made you stay around?" Too bad if you haven't found the time to discover the rich variety of people and discussions here; 98% of us have vanilla lives claiming time too but the feel;ng that this is actually a community, at once open to new people and caring and warm, not just an on-and-off discussion forum, has made it a vital part of my kinky lifestyle sphere.

As for myself, I came here in the beginning, nine months ago, over the library page - I was looking for some stories and noticed there was a discussion froum attached. As I moved around through the forum, the Games and RP boards began taking my attention and I realized I felt at home with the mix of inventive pain, civilized and relaxed language (I don't feel really at home discussing things that matter in the kind of chatty myspace lingo u hear frm ppl who pretty, like, grew up prancing da web & lol R converting all nubies - it works better in actual chat but I guess I need to write the way I've been used to doing). good spirits and nice people that made this forum live and breathe.

Before long I was getting in touch with Dominants, subs and slaves on the site (including my present Domme) and the closeness this room projects has kept me around; some of the people around here I think of as everyday friends even if I've never seen a real-life photo of any of them.

I have been spending more time reading posts in the forums and I can see it truly is a community here...

It really is too bad that since the date I joined till now I missed out.

But I would like to change that now.

And to answer the original thread question:

What brought me here too was a search for bdsm stories and I was absolutely enthralled with the number of stories available. I was actually somewhat intimidated by the rest of the site- the forums, not really understanding how to get around. Now I've found it's not that scary, and there is so much to enjoy here too! I will keep coming back because this site offers the link to others like me... in the d/s world- whether currently living it or not... just reading words from other subs and from Masters and Mistresses makes me feel... comforted... that's a good word.
