"Like life itself there is no point, we are here and that’s all that matters."
I should have phrased it better, shouldn't I?
I am after what people think should/could/might be talked about?
What is interesting to people...
I did not mean to ask an existential question. | |||

"I generally come on to chat daft bollocks and amuse myself. If I amuse other people at the same time that's a win. Think my threads are pretty inclusive "I think your threads (and others' of course) are definitely inclusive by design. Sometimes a particular topic just means more to some, entertains a particular group etc. Like I said, it is not something that is by design keeping people out. | |||

"I’ve been on different forums (two specifically on sex based sites) and a few parenting and film based sites. All things they have in common? Folk like to talk about sex! Be that in great detail (like on here) or just a few flirtatious sexual innuendo based comments on the other sites. Another thing folk like to talk about? Matters of the heart. This site allows all that and more. I like some light hearted threads and the threads that allow you to navel gaze. There is something for everyone on here and sure, it can get samey, but Fab isn’t alone in that regard, all forums and forumites have their ups and downs. Folk move on, folk come back. The forum remains. A social gathering of minds." In reality I avoid simple, sexual innuendo like the plague. One of my neighbours is a past master at it. I find it juvenile and as he discovered that he does it all the more. Yet I'll join in the innuendo here at times or overlook it even though I find it crass and nauseating. I know why I let it go over my head in here though. It does make me smile when people say they study the forums to 'get the measure' of a poster. How deluded they must be. Or easily fooled one or the other. | |||

"I’ve been on different forums (two specifically on sex based sites) and a few parenting and film based sites. All things they have in common? Folk like to talk about sex! Be that in great detail (like on here) or just a few flirtatious sexual innuendo based comments on the other sites. Another thing folk like to talk about? Matters of the heart. This site allows all that and more. I like some light hearted threads and the threads that allow you to navel gaze.

Not sure I agree with you on the very last part - or maybe I misunderstood it: I am put off by aggressive, bullyish behaviour in forums as much as by aggressive profiles and status updates. That is what I would understand as to "get the measure" of somebody and in real life I would avoid these people. Do people post to please others? Of course, they do sometimes - it is part of the social dance. There is a difference between being socially engaging and completing masking your true personality to achieve a certain goal though. But maybe I completely misread your post in which case, I ll stand in the corner and repent for a while. | |||

"I came back to this thread deliberately. The forum is a vicious vacuum. A black hole into which you are sucked, where time slips through your fingers like sand..... I came in for TWO mins to use the game thread before going for a walk and i'm STILL here ..... with walking shoes on. RIGHT........... i've gone." I cam back to this thread because I had no choice. I had to. I, too came in for a 20 minute break - I got pulled in, sucked in...and without a sandwich in sight! I have lost a couple of hours which I have to make up now. I don't regret it though - the threads (not just this one) and posts interesting! Hope GC has a good walk and does not get lost! | |||
