Hi and :welcome: to our hidden little world.
We joined the site 27 Oct 04 and first posted in the forums on 14 Nov 04, however I barely used the forum until 2010. I think most people are the same, after all the chatroom supplies more dynamic chat, and of course cams, and the forums are seldom used by most users.
Since 2010 I have paid attention to almost every thread because the machine has me in its grip :borg:
And what you say here has a permanence to it that someone can still come across long after the thread has sunk into the archives so your real personality becomes more apparent as it's revealed more over time as you accumulate posts. Harder to fake it here for long for sure, the mask always slips at some point for those that try it. And the regs are very regular, will come across a core of regular posters day in, day out and though that core changes over time it's not as changeable or as large as the list of regular people in a particular chatroom so you get to know them and they get to know you fast.
Wouldn't say you notice that you've been ignorant of people in the chatroom all of a sudden if I got that right. Not always possible to respond to everyone aims a comment at you, miss a lot and have to be selective in the conversations you join in with depending how many you can juggle all at once but same applies here. You don't respond to every post and every poster but perhaps more obvious who you're choosing to respond to and who you're not if anyone's ever inclined to read anything into that at all? Just as selective with the threads you join in with.
Hey medman and :welcome: to the forums!
I like the banter of the forums - slower, yes but somehow a bit more affable (in my opinion) than in chat.
Looking forward to lots of forum chats with you soon!
