Has anyone noticed that there is very little interaction on this board from many of the older members who used to post quite a bit?  Just wondering what has happened to this board?

Hey babe, maybe because its a sunday...lol and there seems to be alot of flaming arrows....or am I wrong? Thats why I keep the conversing to a minumum. Everytime I speak out of context I get bashed. Hope it doesnt happen now. lol We need to have a meeting of the minds again!!! hehehe

.....mostly just lurk now.  I am a little older, and less likely to post.  Additionally, the scene has changed significantly in the last few years. More scams, far more screening requirements that make occaisional hobbying very difficult.  For me personally, all of this makes the hobby less attractive, scince I often cannot see the women I wish to see.....   ....it all just adds up.

Not many people seem to have a sense of humor

In no particular order...

1. Heightened LE in our marketplace
2. Slower hobby due to economic climate
3. Many conversations happening elsewhere in private forums
4. The hobby is evolving and moving towards SD sites
5. Board was (is) more strictly moderated. Simply the delay in posts slow the traffic.
6. Drama is overrated. lol

rude and insulting...whether it is here on the boards or in reviews...it personally pisses me off that some people have so little class..thus, I am more often than not turned off by posting

It's an epidemic across all of the boards. We have always had disagreements. That's the nature of discussion boards, but the vast majority have strayed so far from discussion that it's nauseating just reading the boards some days.

Disagreeing is not the same as being disagreeable. More often than not, you'll see a perfectly legitimate question or subject, posted with good intentions will take a left turn right out of the gate, never to return to the original subject at hand. Most often, this will include name calling and personal attacks, guideline offenses that have been long standing on TER, but now seem to be tolerated. I don't get it!!!

Its gets more pointless to post as time goes by.  

More often than not, there is a smart-ass, or even sniping response to what might be an engaging post rather than an entertaining or humorous banter.  This didn't used to be the case.  Can anyone remember when they last had a good laugh on here?   More laughs or rapidity of exchanges can occur by PMs nowadays.

And I completely concur that despite more references and ladies to vouch for one, its ever-more increasing to get a date with a "new" lady of choice.  Everybody now wants too much personal and invasive information.  This seems to be an inevitable development as safety concerns mount, and I cannot blame any lady for this atall.

The result is that some of us Hobbits end up sticking with the tried and true, previously approving providers, and spending less time posting and looking and hoping.....The evolution of the industry.

And thats how it seems to be....

Peace to all

Hmm I have been a member for 10 years or so and I have never posted alot just when I had something to say . but I agree with crimson lass the newer members have been becoming more and more vocal on the boards and a little rough I am not judging or anything they are them  and I am me lets say a little more reserved non judgemental easy going and just post when I feel like it not that I need to post dailey or seek out confrontaion and look for attention thats just my 2 cents

I have no idea what it stands for either ???

I agree with all.  I can remember five years ago and better how there would always be banter back and forth between providers and guys, laughs, stories, schedules,   Now it seems the rules get so tight that to mention a lady you run the risk of being blamed for Shilling or the lady runs the risk of being attacked for posting more than once in her week period.   Just not what it used to be lol

That and couple that with more active LE and a crappy economy to boot.
