A lot of the time I'm sitting in the chat room, talking (generally) and having a laugh with the people I've come to know of on there.
A lot of the time I'm also quiet and 'doing my own thing' while watching the room go by and seeing who's who & all that.
Now, the reason for this post is to ask some people to climb off their high horse and off my back.
Why????
Well, because I've noticed a 'change' from some people who I used to speak to on a regular basis.
One evening, in the chat room I made a comment about an obvious male pic collector who was trying to pretend to be female. I made a comment that usually, that type of person is a saddo and is usually single.
This comment was turned into something very nasty and spiteful by someone who twisted it to the extent the above comment was made in relation to all single people and not just the saddo males who pretend to be females.
That isn't what I said and it certainly isn't what I meant. My comments were directed at those people who are in fact male and pretend to be female, not just on SH but all over the net.
Since that night, there has been 1 person who is constantly on my back about anything I say and another who sent an aggressive message to the room directed at me.
The other day someone else was on my back because I refuse most PM's from those who ask to PM with me
OK so maybe I'm being a tad over sensitive, but it's rather obvious to me that the person who reacted badly to my comments has now started "logging" what I say in the room to try and use my words as "evidence against me" in order to get me banned from the site.
I don't know it that person will succeed or not in getting me banned, if they do then I hope they are very happy with the result.
All over this site it says it's not an instant shag site. It's a place for like minded people to come together and share their interests with others with the possibility of a sexual encounter should the circumstances be right.
I understood the whole point of having meets, munches, party's at secret locations was to keep out the instant shag merchants who are there only for as much sex as they can possibly get without making an effort.
There are several people I would love to meet from the chat room, but, because I haven't been here long enough I won't get an invite to a munch. That's fine, I can accept that and I'm all too willing to accept that because it means to me if I should get invited to a munch then I'll be going to an event with people who I know of and who are out to have a good a time as possible having a laugh and letting their hair down.
I'm not going to start banging on about how good a friend I am or can be or anything like that, that is something for my friends to decide not me.
Yes I am direct, yes I am curt and yes sometimes I can be a bit aggressive in my responses.
But I am a firm believer that all friendships are based on trust, implicite trust that isn't developed in a few minutes, it takes years to build that sort of trust with close friends and months to start to build it with someone new.
I have been on the Internet for over 15 years, when I initially started the net wasn't what it has become today, it was full of professional people who exchanged text only messages via BBS sites.
I've hosted chat rooms, forums and I think I can say with a good degree of safety I've seen it all and probably done it all as well.
But, and this is what I object to, I don't see why I should be instantly receptive to someone just because they say hello to me.
I object to being slagged off because I refuse to meet people in private.
I object to being slagged off because I refuse to PM people when they ask.
I object to being tarred just because I tell someone to f-off when they PM me without permission.
The chat rules say that you have to ask for PM's before you send one to someone. I follow that rule and I have never PM'ed anyone without their permission. Why I shouldn't be able to react in such a way that lets them know I'm not interested.
I also object to being slagged off when I defend myself. I'm sorry but if you choose to attack me just because I don't want to talk to you, expect it back because I refuse point blank to sit here and let someone be abusive towards me.
Like everyone else on the planet, I have rights and I have the right to say no to anyone I want to say no to.
But it seems with some people they really don't like me exercising that right.
The fact remains, you PM me without permission and you'll get your head bitten off. I'm very much of the opinion that if you can't be bothered to read and follow the site rules then I'm not interested in you.
It is also a fact that I will be very choosy over who I do and don't talk to. Everyone does it, someone in the room today said "Hi room" several times and not a single person responded to them.
So I ask why is acceptable to ignore some people but not others?
I personally, (even if I'm so drunk I can't stand up), won't jump into bed with anyone on a whim. If it happens I go to a munch and my husband and I meet a couple we both like and they like us, then the possibility of us all going back to the hotel room for a "coffee" is much stronger.
I can't just have sex for the sake of it, well I can, but then that's exclusive to my husband and then that 'attitude' was restricted to late pregnancy because it was uncomfortable.
There has to be an attraction there for me to go to bed with someone, be that the shallow attraction based on aesthetics or something a little more meaningful in that the chemistry will be right.
If I was just after a shag I'd go dogging because to me that's what dogging is all about.
I know and understand I have been here only a short time and at the end of the day I'm still unknown and unproven.
I find the majority of people on the SH chat room do seem to be genuine, especially those who go to the meets, but there are a few who are names I've never seen before and so I'll be a lot less receptive towards them because they are unknown to me.
I don't know who anyone is on here, I'd have to say that the majority of the regs know of me in the same way I know of them. Which isn't really that much.
I'm very aware that some of the things I say might be taken the wrong way, misunderstood or taken out of context.
Since the very day I met my husband I haven't had another man (or woman) between my legs and I wouldn't want to give the impression I'm some sort of easy lay or slut.
I'm not under the impression that looks wise I'm the most desirable or attractive person on the planet, I am just like everyone else. Some people will find me attractive, others won't. That's a fact of life we all have to live with and there's nothing we can do to change that.
We all have different likes and dislikes, we all take to some people and not others.
So, I'm asking those people on my back to please get off it.
Thanks for reading smile
I know I've only been here a short time in comparison to others, but I have been a member of this site for over a year and have only recently started using both the forums and chat.
I'm currently in the chat room and martin_675 is in there trying to explain what's going on.
My Internet background is very extensive in the respect I have, (in the past), ran IRC chat servers, (at a much higher access level than the SOP's currently in chat rooms), I've ran forums and I've ran a few websites in my time.
So, I know a little bit about running sites and making sure they run smoothly.
The first thing I have to say is you can't please all of the people all of the time, that's a fact and there's no getting round it.
But .... (And he's the really hard bit to get past for any new owner), there is a very strong sense of community on SH and there are a lot of 'hard core' users who go to meets, go to munches and also make great use of the forums and chat, (in some instances both).
Many years ago, I ran an IRC chat server that also had a strong sense of community spirit for an ISP. The ISP decided to get rid of its own IRC servers and rent ones from an IRC server that was/is infamous for child pornography and have many hundreds of thousands of chat users with thousands of chat rooms.
The community as it were boycotted the current servers on that ISP and moved over to a 'new community server' which I paid for. Thankfully this boycott lasted only a few weeks and eventually the ISP relented and retained its (then) current servers and format.
What concerns me about the new owner ship are:
1) The Webcams
is well known for being the cess pit of the Internet with a huge amount of males who frequent the server and trawl looking for a "cam show" and react with violent abuse when turned down.
In addition, webcam feeds require server access rights to your computer, (all they do is take a pic every second then remotely display it on another machine, basically what you see is series of compressed JPG images hence the stutter), and the newly opened ports can be exploited if you know what you're doing.
2) The Voice
Again this requires server access to your computer and opens ports that can be exploited.
3). Pay to enter
I realise that all the current members will get a years free membership, but, (and this is based on what I've read here), very few people are willing to now pay for what they have used over the last few weeks/months/years for free.
But this doesn't change the fact that if from today your membership is free, then 1 year from now you'll have to pay.
This means in a years time, a massive amount of the membership will be dropped and the people paying for the service will be the only members. So in effect existing members will be told "Thanks for all the fish"
There are a lot of people on SH who are on a budget and can't afford a monthly subscription, so they will leave. Others will leave because they won't have the means to pay because they won't have a credit or debit card.
In short, as much as you've enjoyed using this site and meeting new people, it won't mean diddly squat if you can't afford a monthly subscription or have no way of paying to remain a member.
If this site goes that way, then I see it becoming a site full of blokes who are willing to pay because they think a pay to enter site gives them a better chance of meeting someone.
But isn't true, just because you pay doesn't mean that you'll get what you want, it means you have a slightly worse chance because the site will be flooded with like minded males. The real way to run a site such as this is to listen to the users, listen to what they want and what they'd like to see implemented.
Look at the existing community and see what that has to offer, improve what you already have instead of trying to change it into something you want it to be.
SH at this time has a sense of community I have never seen before, in all my years of being on the net and all my experience of chat rooms and forums, I have never seen people come together in the way they do here.
I fear a huge part of this community will be removed if this site goes to pay to enter.
I'm in agreement with charging for the webcam and voice facilities. That way people can be tracked and if they step out of line and don't respond favourably to warnings, then they can be banned from the site. If they get really out of hand, they can be easily identified by their payment details and appropriate action could then be more easily taken by the authorities such as the police.
I do welcome change, but I fear the changes won't be to the benefit of the site, but more to its detriment because it'll encourage morons who are only after a shag, a cam show or voice 'phone sex' and if they have paid for it, then they'll have a right to use those services because they have paid for them.
Also, because they've paid for the service, they'll use it all the more.
I wouldn't like this site to go down the tubes. I have my up's and downs here, (like when I start a reasonable debate in the chat room this seems to tax some op's attention spans and they stop the debate), and I know I mainly sit on the side, but I do like a lot of the people I've talked to on here and I really wouldn't like to see that community destroyed.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for but if you have specific needs, and live in scotland its hard to find that special someone. Though I have enjoyed some fun on the xxxxxxxx Mod edited out the name of a DIFFERENT site site and will continue to dip in and out, I am still looking for that elusive someone who shares my need for a fuck buddy. Anyone got and ideas?

Do you really want to screw someone you've only known a few minutes?
I wouldn't. I wouldn't know where they've been, who they've been with and what I might be catching from them.
I'd sooner go to bed with someone I grew to know and like over time, not put myself at risk.
Perhaps that's why you're not having much luck?
You seem to expect it all to be instant and people tend to be wary of someone who isn't bothered who they go with.

So.... What, if anything.... is the biggest thing you have ever won in a compertition??

About 12 or 13 years ago we were at a shopping centre in Washington, (The one up by Sunderland), and hubby bought a ticket for a draw to win a Ferrari GTS 308, (the one like Magums)
It only cost a fiver.
4 Months later we got a letter saying we'd won smile
Sadly we could afford to run it or insure it, but not both so we had to sell it sad
Quote by PrincessSwallows
I havnt the confidence to meet anybody on here cos I am not completey happy with my body,

Who you trying to please then Princess?
If you try to please everyone then you're going to have to be a size 8, 40 stone, blue/green/brown/grey eyed brunette who's hair is dyed blond :P
Oh, you'd also have to be an over 6' dwarf!
Personally I say sod it! I am what I am and I can't be anything else. I can't be all things to all people but if I'm just me, then maybe someone except for a few close friends, hubby & the kids will like me.
If not, well I can't force myself on them so I won't waste the effort.
Be who you are, warts and all Princess, not what you think others want you to be smile

Being completely uncertain of what might be offensive and what isn't these days, I'll have to gracefully back out of this one.
May I ask .......
Just how explicit and raunchy can one be with the game rules?

Wise words.
Well cover me in marmite and call me Irene.
I'll take down my tent and move on.

I'm sure I made this post earlier ......

Firstly, hello and welcome.

Thank you smile
Quote by Edin BBW
Out of curiosity, is your husband looking to get involved with you or are you here alone with or without his knowledge?

Well, I'd never be brave enough to meet anyone alone so we're most certainly a couple :)
Hubby knows I'm posting on here but he's not posting, he's 'remodeling' the living room at the moment so me and the kids are hiding from the hammering, banging, saw dust and table saw :)

Wibble.

I can't be bothered to argue semantics and I won't be drawn.
It's simple, if you don't like what anyone has to say, stop reading at the point you find the words disagreeable and move on.
Quote by dambuster
Stones and glass houses ?????????????????

You seem unable to tell the difference between a natural typo and the deliberate use of phonics.
We're on trial here ??????????????????????

No, but if you can't be bothered to spell out a 3-lettered word such as "you" when the keys are all on the same line and the letters are so closely grouped together, it hardly reflects you to be the type of person who could make an effort.
It would also follow that the use of phonics reflects the user to be lazy and lethargic, hardly a good indicator that they'd actually turn up for a meet but would be a let down and a no show.
To what end ?

No end
To see if we're good enough for you ?????????????

Am I not allowed to pick and choose who I'd like to talk to and who I wouldn't like to talk to?
Or are you suggesting that everyone who posts on this forum must conform and speak to everyone without ever forming an opinion that you may or may not like that person?
Personally, I like to set myself very low standards and often fail to achieve even those. That way, I'm rarely disappointed.

Isn't that a "self-fulfilling prophecy"?

sad we know that debs has a problem with her spelling but we can all understand what she writes and it brightens up our lives... so lay off her. mad shes a nice person

Woe!!!
I didn't have a go!
Quote by Debbiewebs
Amber thanks for you help here with Google ..............but its seems that you lack a under standing of dyslexer.............. you see i juse a ispell checker.......which gives a option..........but some times we cannot recognize the words when spelled right...and also the word that we do use can mean some thing eles.....and the ispell don't pick it up!

Debs smile
The first option is usually the right one ;)
And you're making the effort. Perhaps I should have said it's the deliberate use of "short hand" and "phonics" that irritates me, like the deliberate use of "u" instead of "you", stuff like that.
I didn't mean to offend you or have a go, sorry if it came across that way.

Hi Debs smile
All I ask of anyone is they do their best and make an effort.
Some people can't help their spelling, (though Google has a very good on line spell check for forums such as this), but making the effort really counts and I don't think it's too much to ask.

Hi Amber
good luck on here
I have had the pleasure of speaking to a few on here and all seem really nice

Well, based on the 3 people that's PM'ed me so far, you're right smile
Hi folks,
I'm Amber12 on here, or Emma on the ad's board.
Phonenix PM'ed me and suggested I should put up a post telling people a little about me.
Well, I'm 3<cough> years old, I'm very happily married to a wonderful man for the last 16/17, and I have 4 children. 3 Boys and a girl.
I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for, perhaps to make new friends and expand my social circles a little, but one thing that isn't on my mind is an instant shag.
My turn off's are:
Incorrect spelling, as in the use of "short hand" or phonics, (ie -->h r u<-- instead of how are you)
People who think I'm an easy lay. I'm not. I've had the same person between my legs for the last 16/17 years so I'm quite happy for things to stay that way. But, I am open to the POSIBILKITY of someone else joining in with us or perhaps a "soft swing" to start off with.
I'm attracted to personality more than I am looks, (though in my opinion I got both of them in my hubby smile )
So, I can't think of anything else to say, (well I can, but I'd go on for hours- typical woman lol), I hope you'll take me as you find me.

They stay in your outbox until the recipient reads them. Then they go in to your sentbox.

Oh right!
It's a kind of automatic message tracking then?
Thanks for that. I did wonder what I was doing wrong.
Quote by EagerSlut
I've got an email in my inbox from
Subject "Warning Message: Your services near to be closed"
It's 74k with an attachment.
I had several others the other day in my Bulk folder, one of which I remember was entitled something like "your password has been verified". I deleted them without opening as I considered would not send emails to my bulk folder.
I'm highly suspicious of this latest one, not least because the grammar is less than perfect in the wording of the subject and also because the ones in my bulk folder were 74k as well.
What's your opinion folks? Genuine or not?
Thanks

From what I've read ........
Yahooo will be closing its unmoderated chat service doors and moving the whole chat service over to the moderated Lycros because of its issues with the pedophiles and kiddie porn freaks swapping pics.
It's because of that reason they closed the user rooms.
I doubt very much would send you an email given they only seem to take action when they can be bothered or when the issues are serious enough to affect them as a company.
It seems to me you've been randomly mailed, (your screen name was probably harvested from the profiles page, or you being in a chat room), and I'd say you've been sent a password sniffer.
I used to use mail, but started to get loads of them so I started a new mail account.
For some reason my 'sent' PM's are being saved to the out box but they are not sending.
A couple of people have been quick off the mark and I wouldn't like to appear rude by not replying to their PM's
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
There are 2 buttons, "preview" and "submit" on the PM itself, I'm clicking on the submit button.
Thanks
