Hi Jean *hugs* I enjoyed reading your thoughts and also the clarification in your meaning after Gigi's post. That's what a forum is ALL about; conversation, dialogue, a discussion between two or more people. The objective and results may differ, perhaps ending in understanding, or in disagreement but as long as we engage each other with "truth" and provide mutual "respect", we learn, acquire an appreciation for somebody else's perspective. Why would be want to ALL be the SAME, I prefer lots of flavors over just vanilla...... just say'nYES, I agree with Gigi, I am NOT a fan of DRAMA, the contrived type. But I am a fan of "DEBATE". I want to stay open minded, I want to hear other points of views. This does not imply these discussions have to cover RL things, I too agree this place is an escape for us ALL. A different WORLD that comes with its own discussions and politics too. I am a relative newbie, although I am active in forum, I have not yet celebrated my one year birthday. I am also an avid reader and have read much of the history here. For those that have not looked, let me share .... there are treasures to be found in these halls, these threads. I understand Jean's words, when I look back upon this forum's history I see a world more engaging, more inclusive, more dynamic than the forum today. There is a small group here that keeps these halls alive, not as many as it used to be. Is that bad? Is it good? I can not say for ALL, it is relative, we are each here for our own reasons. I say contribute when you want, take what you like and leave what you don't for others. We should be, BETTER be, all ADULTS here. We do not have to share the same views and opinions, just respect that we are different. Have the courage to believe in your convictions without the need for them to be right for all others. I am not sure bout all of you, but if I tried to please everyone around me ..... I would NEVER get anything done.While the "game" develops and grows in numbers it appears the forum is shrinking. There are countless explanations, each personal. I find this sad, I happen to enjoy the forum, preferring words to the click of a mouse, but that does not make it better, more right. It just fits for me. We ALL have RL that demand our time, while our time here is voluntary. I think everyone must be true to themselves, be SELFISH with their spare time and do what they want ...... as long as it does not prevent anyone else from doing the same.Jean, thank you for launching this discussion, it is a perfect "trap" for me. I am a chatty creature, I can't help myself from rambling. Probably more than my two cents ....
Hello Jeanona,I am a newbie joined here April 2016.LOL had my route to go through stages in the game as many of us.So I will open my mouth and share my mind ( just hit the keys )First of all, like "LOVER" said, a .big problem is the language barrier English is the language of the Games website and majority of players.Also, the forum is in English. Many Members posting in English but English isn't their native tongue.So my wish and maybe a hint, please don't be shy of your native language and post in the information where you coming from.It might help for the "english" to look at the other writers than with a little bit more of understanding.It was happening to me when I posted a (from my view sarcastic) thread about some frustration what causes a shitstorm. I deleted than many of my posts cuz I was frankly just pissed. Expressing in a foreigner language is hard. And I know it from first hand.SO a little bit more welcome to all might help.Some posts I do need to read more than 2 times with help of a translator. AND NO Google translator isn't the best to translate a longer sentence. We never should forget what the game website capture for clients.SOME like me hey let's look giggles hot stuff for free too WOW sex free and anonym, great game.But then, we start to talk to the AVATARS. And find out, hm...... might be a nice Typist behind that Carton figure.A friendship developed, Feelings grow. The play continue, BUT then, A post just let the Ballon burst.TROLLS and SOCK PUPPETS spoiling the game. A scream out to the AChat Gods was like a cold invite-is wasn't answered. That what happened in the past too much too massive. I am in many other 3D games but honestly, I never faced such a trolling or sock puppet shit play.Simply Rules and policies are not been followed what is a shame to those who do.It's a game, yes a sex game but still a typist is a human been who should at least have some kind of manners. Call it internet etiquette. That was my 2 cents of my thoughts.Ein liebes SERVUS aus good old germanyCougHi GsCougar,First of all thanks for the hint I'm not ashamed of my native language, I simply forgot to add that information here on the forum. Just corrected. You're right a big problem can be language barrier. But it may be overcome if we motivate members / or new members to relax and to try to communicate with us despite the language barrier. Just like you've done in this post. So thanks a lot for that.Also I appreciate for sharing your thoughts and experiences about the game and main problems. I agree with you - players should have some kind of manner. Shitstorm lol sadly I wasn't here to see that side of your temperament, I like your spontaneity and the way you express your feelings in English, although it is not your native language.In addition I enjoyed very much in your topic Good Bye 2016 Hello 2017, in all those wonderful pictures from party 2017. You and BB also were so sexy, cute and irresistible in dancing. At the and I admire your and Vaughan relationship . Just like in a movie - its amazing.Nice to meet you GsCougar !
I joined here when the poker room and the meeting places were a dream. As far as I know there wasn't much drama. And had to start chatting / rooming without the use of such additions. The drama / conflict, started when people started to meet each other socially. I'm not complaining about the poker or the Meeting Places, I think they are a wonderful addition. Some People like / love conflict, they like to make trouble. They live for it. I for one, don't. It spoils this place almost to the point of just forgetting about this place. The good / nice people draw me back in. These trolls / idiots can't be eradicated. But they can be ignored to a certain extent. As of the Forum. Lots of ideas have been ignored / forgotten. No response from the devs. Why should we even suggest ideas ? When now I know they will be ignored or not commented on by the Devs. (I know that this must take a lot of effort keeping this place active, but just a comment from them would be nice). We just have the usual forum members making comments (which is nice) and that's it. No one else. No one new nowadays seem to stick around. That's why threads die. No one apart from the resident forum members give a S***. Unless there is a competition that need votes, then all of a sudden lots of new members appear and then, never to be seen again. If this sounds pessimistic then ........... it is. It's how I feel these days about it all. Now back to the shy and retiring Zuz. , Oh and welcome back. Edited today, when thinking straighter.
