Please don't treat this as a whine, it is more of a genuine question.
What purpose does this forum serve? Most internet forums exist either as contact points or discussion forums, but as I will exaplin below this forum doesn't really seem to be either.
Reading through the posts below there is a host of unanswered single male requests.
Other than that there is are a few posts which attempt discussion but seem to have been dominated by sarcasm, such as the indoor dogging post and the guy who was "looking for sex in GM area." There seems to be an "inner circle" of regular posts/moderators who seem to quick to dismiss people they don't know. This is of course understanable as there are almost certainly many people here who have little or no interest in the subject. But to this extend might it be a good idea to keep membership to this forum more limited?
I fully understand the need to keep locations secret, but it does slighly beg the question as to the purpose of a forum at all- pm's and proper contacts could be sent through the ads sections, as ultimatly a pm in itself is little safer than a forum.
Re-reading through my own comments this does seem rather "preachy"- please don't treat it as such!
It would be good to see some genuine and positive feedback here!
