The site is what you make it and the people on it are those that you cultivate as contacts friends or those you swing with. in the sixteen months I have been on the site I would say that the site has evolved and is a somewhat different place/environment it was a year ago. I believe it takes weeks and even months to build up contacts and for people to trust you. meeting people at social events such as munches and mini munches is really the only way to build up this trust between other people. I take little notice of anyone who is either scathing or condemning of the site after a week or even a couple of months for that matter.
Those that do all the moaning and whinging are usually the ones who expect it to be instant shagarama and expect a meet within a few days. We even get people asking to come to social events on the day they join... yea right, as if. Let them moan and whinge if they want to, they will soon give up and move onto another site to moan all over again. How on earth anyone can even comment on what and who we are when they have only been here a week or so is just beyond me. They don't see the efforts that go into organizing the munches and the social events and the efforts of the moderators etc. They don't have a clue about what makes the site tick and I don't suppose they are even interested.
What I say to them is if they need to moan and whinge about time wasters and not getting meets after being here a week then go and find a site that will provide what it is they want. This site IS successful so they wont change anything here. Those of us that have been here a while know this so why spoil success. If they really do think the site is full of time wasters then the door is that way. There are time wasters in all walks of life. Live with it and try and make the site work for you. it wont work for you by moaning, thats for sure. 17000 people cant ALL be wrong, they cant ALL be time wasters and in fact many of us know they are not because we meet some of them on a regular basis.
Just get on with it and stop expecting instant success. weed through the so called time wasters and build on the people who make the site what it is. After all thats what we have had to do.
