There's been some negativity on the forum it's not as good as it was etc etc.

But today got me thinking, the forum is amazing. Where else can I talk utter dribble, have a giggle or talk openly about subjects I normally can't? I've also gotten support over domestic abuse and more recently my miscarriage during lockdown.

It's easy to knock this place but I appreciate the fora. What is it you like about the forum ?

That there’s a place for all the random bollocks that comes into my head, before I used to write these things down on post it notes and give them to people, they would then mail them to me with a ‘This’ or a thumbs up, that’s the nearest I could get to a reply and quote.

I don't get the almost obsession that the forum should be happy clappy all the time

That would be insipid and wholly unrealistic

When I'm not in the mood for the telly, it's a fun way to fill time

I like the fab forums as we can talk about anything. From random musings to funny or deep discussions.

A few reasons really.

There are some funny folk on here and some wise owls and it does make me smile when it’s good. I don’t get out much and it’s a distraction.

Also I guess it’s a bit like people watching without leaving the sofa, watching the drama, the flirting etc.

I haven’t been here long enough to have experienced the forum Belle Époque so many have alluded to recently. Although it is a little quieter at the moment than when I first joined it is still a great place to come and entertain, enlighten and occasionally nettle myself.

I like a variety of threads, silly or serious (the one on feminism a few day ago was great). I like the ones where a debate can be had and both sides appreciate the others point of view without the need for vilification.

I love the forum it’s great I enjoy interacting with people I’ve made some really good friends from using the forum you get a taste of people’s personalities and interests which help to spark conversations/dm’s

Also I just take it lighthearted and stay away from drama or attention seeking threads I don’t come on here for that so I enjoy my time on here

There and to the left a bit

The forums have always ebbed and flowed, peaked and troughed - and that's the nature of any internet forum, swinging related or otherwise.

Personally I do think they're in a bit of an ebb and a trough currently and have been since the start of lockdown and the reasons behind that are multiple (some personal/some forum related) - for me currently it's a "time waster" rather than a "time spender" but will still keep poking my head round the door while I still want to and there will come a time when the tide turns and they flow again I'm sure

This place has been a real mix of things to me, but like most people I love that I've made some damn good friends, and found people who make me smile every day.

And it's been an escape from the depressing and stressful things going on in my real world a lot of the time as well.

There are bad things of course but if the good didn't outweigh the bad then we wouldn't all still be here.

I stay away from the negativity of the drama threads and that suits me perfectly.

I enjoy a bit of flirtation, fun and laughter to distract me through the day in between my meetings or to entertain me during the evening.

I can talk about random shit and have a giggle at work with people I know well so I’m reserved on the forums.

It’s interesting reading some of the debates on here, but it does feel the same arguments just go round and round all the time.

Some posts do make me laugh out loud and that’s what keeps me coming back

I do love the forums, I wouldn’t have been here 9 years if that wasn’t the case. Ive had some amazing advice over the years and have some solid people whose opinions I value so much.

I’m not really enjoying the forums at the moment, I’ve always always had abuse and I’ve taken it all on the chin but lately I’m feeling ganged up on, almost like I’m being targeted. I asked someone I trust to give their view to make sure I wasn’t being paranoid and they’ve said they can definitely see it too.

I feel like I can’t do anything right and I’m getting jumped on all the time whether it’s my own threads or parody threads that feel as if they’re aimed towards me.
