the dead zone? Two or Three innocuous post a day. Is it a normal lull that happens from time to time, although, in the couple of years I've been around, I can't remember a time like this. I miss the interaction. Wondering what drove the active board versus the inactivity of today and yesterday and the day before. I always looked forward to logging on and seeing 'wat up'. Is it the thought of being flamed , attacked or dissed that keeps you off the board, have we run out of things to talk about or has the economy kept us out of play and nothing exciting to venture forth with? Just trying to get back in the game, anyone feel like playing?

You nailed it.  Worst are rants, next flames, and last monopolized by a few posters.  Board is boring and unpleasant. Economy reduces play, but that has nothing to do with posting.

There is a bunch of unsavory stuff going on that has drastically reduced "play" on this board, and those involved know exactly what I mean.  I know that, personally, I have received a number of unwanted & unwelcome PM's from folks who I don't know, and who have no business sticking their business into my business.  There are better things to do with my time.  Thus sayeth BSD.

BSD , if you are able to be driven from the board, then I would submit to you that 'we' lost something in that exchange. Something to think about , I hope.

Rants......Don't read them
Flames.....Don't read them
Top 10 Posters......instead of everyone bitching about the top 10 posters
1)Don't read them
2)just ask staff to get rid of them,
3)better yet just post who you don't want to post anymore so maybe they'll get the hint. because this is YOUR board and you have so many insightful things to say along with the other owners of the board, then and only then can we get back to a fun board. Like this thread it's really interesting, informative and very positive so the responders can rehash what's already been said over and over...we need more POSITIVE and fun HAPPY POSTERS like yourself.
We are getting back to being a great close community again and getting some good posts as of late like
A)Ms. Mya Mayes or Sweet Sarah were out of town having dinner at a fine restaurant
B)local agency ladies and three elite independents made a monster for someone
C)Paul of Desert Divas and Ms. Mya Mayes at the Camelback Esplanade!lunchtime and a foursome with Scott and Sweet Saraha at the Ritz

Maybe we need 2 boards for Phoenix??? what ya think of that

IMHO, it is:

a. The economy. Metro phoenix is an economy that is predominantly based on residential construction, home sales, financial services, retail sales. There is relatively little manufacturing as a base for the rest of the economy.

b. Boredom. How much can we "talk" about this hobby? Even more than tasting a fine vintage wine, spending time with a wonderful person in erotic play is an experience that words really cannot grasp.

c. Conflict avoidance. There seems to be some drama and gossip involving a minority of participants in the Phoenix community that spills over onto this forum.

could be named the 'bored board' , need some help on the other if ' The Bed Post' does not work for you.

I think it has to do more with boredom of watching the same rants by the same few over and over again than anything else.  

on this board. A poster with an alias that does nothing to advance the topic of conversation. If this topic does not interest you, start one that does. Gotta believe that if the topic is about the board, it might be something of interest to more than a few. Anyway, your hijack and FU is noted , in the 'Rumour Post" also. Thanks for sharing.

lost a lot of interest as I see some of my friends unduly under duress.

they made their bed now they have to sleep in it. don't believe everything you're told, fools are born every day from the real users and abusers.

They just should be nice to everyone and not just those that have dicks with money

If you want to bitch about the top 10 use your real handle.
Most of the top 10 add some thing to the board and try to keep it interesting.
But you just rand and add NOTHING.
Get a life or some balls and use your real handle before you knock us.

Dick with no money. What’s your real handle?

Ill admit, I am not a big discussion contributor.  If you post something positive about a lady, you're shouted down as shilling.  If you post something negative (getting run around town for an incall, lack of time sense, etc) you either are a negative SOB or a long tirade starts.

Read other cities boards and you see some good discussions and positive comments.
