I mainly use the chat rooms and have only barely glanced at the Forum pages; it was only the fact that Theladyisaminx spoke about them to me recently and I had another look; it's a whole different world. I just wondered how long it took other people to use the forums from the time they joined the site?

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:
hey medman, welcome!!

Hi Trev, as you say, the chatroom has dynamic chat and cams; for me when I am in the chatroom my mind is basically in 'perve mode', but I am polite and respectful. Reading the forums and interacting like this is different, that "perve mode" is switched off. lol

I think you are so brave if you use the chatrooms. Personally Im terrified of the place, they all talk way to fast for me, and being totally blonde, I end up whispering people, perving profiles and generally getting all confuddled :lol:
Also, just ignore GnV, if he tells you Im a scarey lady, it soooo not true, he only scared of me because he still owes me a back rub (my went bath cold waiting for him to nip over from France to rub my back for me) :lol:
As it happens, we only joined the site to use the forums, and was a bit a shocked when we found out about the chatrooms and the photos ads, was even more shocked when we realised that people on here actually meet up for sex (shock, horror) :wink:

I asked a question in the forums very soon after joining and they didn`t like the look of me and directed me to the chatroom .... Mrs flower and myself had a jolly nice time in chat and then Bilko started the chatroom lounge in the forum which is when I started posting a lot lol
Kinda got hooked for a while and then some brainless wazzock went and told minx about the forums and they`ve gone down hill ever since !!! :lol:
When I joined the site I headed for the chat rooms and never looked at the forums until some brainless wazzock, (which is a great name to call yourself Flower) threw me in here screaming and shouting and he bolted the door. I could hear his evil laughter echoing through the crack in the door.
I got chewed up and spat out by the lions its a scary place.
Medman loon Never trust a Minx! :twisted:
I have securely bolted the door and there is no point looking for any windows as I have already checked every nook and cranny of the place and there isn't any.
Good luck x rotflmao

You might find this link helpful :giggle:
medman! :welcome: Nice to see you here!
I agree with the pattern suggested, new forum members seem to get dragged in by existing forumites! This was certainly the case for me, I'd been using the chatrooms daily for a month or two when a non-chatter member "baited" me to join the forums. I have never managed to introduce anybody to the forums successfully myself - back when I read forums more actively I used to regularly mention the topics of conversation to the people I chatted with in the chatrooms... and the most frequent reaction I got was that the forums look boring! :-o

Reading the forums and interacting like this is different, that "perve mode" is switched off. lol

Pffft, no adjustment necessary :P

Hello Med! wave Good to see you on the flip side of The Site.
I started my SH journey after something in the forums piqued my interest from a Google search back in 2004, and I've been stuck here ever since. To be honest the forums are a more acquired taste and don't suit everyone's pace, but those who make a go of it do tend to find it a useful way to get to know people in a more 'sensible*' environment.

And you returned the favour by baiting me into the chatrooms. Now I tend to end up there most evenings! :lol2:

Wait until you get sent up the sh tower, or asked to go down into the depths of crypt, then you might start seeing the length of time some have been here.

Hey Medman, welcome to the forums and all that. smile
Found the chatrooms quite by accident at first, not even looking for a swinging site, knew nothing about it but liked the chatroom immediately, very, very funny some of the people in it back when 200 people in the one room on IRC was a busy night, got into the site bouncing along with them. Didn't get the forums at all when I did finally have a look mooching around the site, first post was quite typically a chatroom related question.
Took me kinda flouncing outta the chatroom for a bit to start reading the forum more about 6 months after arriving here and a bit more posting before I really got it and found my posting boots, first hundred posts even maybe but then a little light went on, been here since. Can't get back into the chatroom now, too fast and too many convos going on. The slower pace suits me but do have to rein in a tendency towards the overly-verbose a lot of the time! rolleyes lol

Hi Neil,
one thing I have just seemed to notice as i went back in the chatrooms earlier is just how easy it is to be another person as in persona; I can go in there and because of the situation with cams and if i don't know ppl almost act rudely to people (even though I don't think I ever have in the time I have been in there - never begged, ordered etc where I shouldn't, always said please and thank you). Yet in here, I don't feel that I can as I am talking to someone who will respond in more than just a few words like in the chatroom.
Everything's mixed up now lol.
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.
:welcome: medman.....
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!
