Was when I signed up for VIP.  First meeting three weeks later, in a tiny hotel room in NYC we both still laugh about.  Who knew it would last?   You told me it would... all I can say... :)

Seems that discussion posts have been on the upswing over the past week.  Maybe we are getting tired of the ISO posts dominating, at least for now.

Remember when this was a really great board? Where is everyone? Ever think we can make this something like it used to be instead of just an ISO board?

Nice to see you pop your head up here DD!

...going on 15 years at TER.  There certainly have been many changes. I am in for more discussions, fun topics and hell, even the song of the day, remember that?

You should get the TER Gold Watch! I've been here since the summer of 2002! Time flies! I remember when all this was coming to the internet!

...and it keeps getting better and better! So glad you signed up and have been a fabulous TER contributed over the years. I told you so.... :)

I agree, it appears that more discussions are popping up. Great to see so many of the "old timers" poke their heads in as well.

We've been friends, lovers, allies, protagonists, across so much over this time.  The places we've been, the adventures and misadventures.  It hasn't always been perfect, but it has always trended positive.  See you in NYC in a couple of weeks...four days, and counting.

and it's been pretty rough. I've had 3 surgeries and need another one next month, and then Keytruda and Opdivo (a form of chemo called immunotherapy).

My next post will probably be my retirement :(((

but, I have had other issues on my mind the last few years and have drifted away and lost interest.
I thought I had crossed a bridge early last summer, but had a big set back and am now just slowly getting myself back to a semblance of my former self.

I do miss many of you, though.

Take care everyone.  
Hopefully, I'll be around again sometime.

so to those who have sent pms, I can't get them.

Hello Gentlemen!

It's great to finally see some names that I recognize from the past!  As a former "provider of the week" and "tushy of the week" back when this was my home board, I am happy to be back in the mix with you all!  

2Cups,  
Was wondering where you have been??? I am looking forward to re-connecting soon!!!

Keystone,
Remember this?  I think I "invented" this award!

Sydney replied:
"LOL and the "award" would have to be a GOLDEN cock!! "  

I would love to see this board make a comeback in a positive way!  The numbers don't lie! :) (reads are down)

Guys, PM me so we can chat!

since admin started allowing ISO posts on regional boards, it killed them.  When I was a moderator, I complained about that, but admin did nothing.  So.....we're stuck.

LLAP,

and sadly it has really gone down hill.

I have been around for 8+ yrs. and still remember soo many different fun topics.  I generally
don't post much anymore because, quite honestly, It just does not excite me much these
days.  Plus on top of that I am really working on getting my 2nd biz off the ground and  
been caring for my elderly mom more and more. As well as working on planning meet and  
greets....yepper one busy lady!

I really wish TER would bring back the good ole days.  So TER admin, how about listening
to us and bring the fun back???

sun set on those days. It's been a struggling board since I came here (in '11 or '12). One post I remember that was particularly fun for me was one started by a lady, I think, who wrote the beginning part of a story. The next poster was to continue the story by adding his or her own ideas, and so on. I think there were only 3 of us who posted on it. But that was a hoot for me!  

I don't think it is down to ISOs as to why the board is not active. I also don't really see how admin could "bring back the fun", other than perhaps allowing mods or something. But I do believe that with a sustained effort to contribute to conversations here in a constructive and civilized way, we could easily make this a fun place to be.  Just look at how many of us have already participated in these threads about the lack of life here? That's more conversation than we've seen here in ages.  

I'm willing to put in the effort if others are! You guys up for it? 😊😃

I remember the years before I moved to Florida when I would read the Florida board almost daily because it was so much fun.  I read it and posted on it occasionally and that was a big help to me when I did migrate south to God's Country and started to meed some of the local TER regulars.  I felt as if I had already known them.

And I would like to make one more point.  It's not only the Florida board (and other regional boards) that has slipped.  Many boards on the TER site have gone astray.  I used to participate in the P&R board back when there were a good number of reasonable adults who liked to discuss political ideas and the news of the day.  Now it's nothing more than a piece of trash, inundated by people who wouldn't know how to spell "maturity," let alone behave with some.  And some of the other regional boards have so little activity that you might see a post from over a month ago on the front page.

I guess there are many reasons why the Florida board has changed but here's hoping it can change back for the good and help up relive some of those fun times.

the separate ad boards came into being. Other contributing factors included allowing ISO posts as well as the elimination of the mods because now there is no sheriff in town to keep the riff raft in check.

But times changed.

Ive never been a VIP

Posting sometimes was easy...and other times (or atleast once) there was a mod who refused to let me post).

It used to be there was one board for Florida but now it is split into ad and basic hiya and ISO board

I originally was bagman and had that name lost in the wind so been using this name since ????

When I was traveling I used to post an ISO and it would be rejected because someone else apparently ran an ISO

I sometimes would post an ISO about Pompano and sometimes it was allowed and sometimes it wasnt allowed.

I would like to post more often but dont know anymore what I will be allowed to post and since Im not a vip Ive never been able to read the 55 messages sitting in my mailbox and Ive always posted my email address [email protected] but some people wont send email there. BTW I closed TBB years ago so its not like I'm trolling for my ghost town board hahah

If this post goes up-I hope all is well with all my old friends-and you know who you are

...hope to see you soon. Stop by more often.  

Always Sexy~
