another sensible reply above !!
Its a forum on the internet ! we could all just sit and compliment and agree with each other , with the occasional 'in' thread about cryptic references to a munch or personal meeting .
However if it was like that then youd see the membership completely disapear quite soon . We come here because of the absolutely wonderful exchange of both funny AND serious opinion which is evident .
It really is what makes SH different and worth the visit. There are literally hundreds of forums and swinging sites where you can go for flattery from single fellas after a shag , or meat rack type meeting lists .
Here there are people with brians and opinions and some of them get up your nose and some of them are downright obnoxious and express some nasty and frankly poisonous ideas - but every single time one of em pipes up with some evil shite theres a dozen voices of reason and intellect to slap em down .
Its what makes the forum alive and you know what id rather have six ridiculous posts expressing outrageously nasty opinions and waiting for an interesting response than one more " Were leaving because blank blank whinge" thread.
Missing you already xxxxxxxxxxxx
Dont you think though with any forum thats as busy as this one when you go away even for a couple of weeks lots of new people have appeared. Ive only been here a month or so now but even still regard myself as a newbie!
I think the very fact that the number of regular users joining is a good thing or it that swinging and maybe some older time swinger see is as a kind of private club sort of thing??
I think the fact that the activity on this site is a good thing although I imagine it does also have its bad points much like anything in life! Cant have everything work perfectly there always gonna be flaws somewhere and you really cant please everyone.
If theres nothing on here I want to respond to or doesnt interest me I just dont bother sometimes that could happen for a day, hour, week or even a month.
Maybe its not a good thing that its getting so popular!? Could that be the main problem here!?
I agree with you Fruity.
I've never asked Mark - but I am almostsure he did not create this site just for me. - I just treat it that way. If everyone else does the same, then the atmosphere pretty well sorts itself out.

i just posted my first thread and i was so disapointed on the outcome, especially for being acuse of being a reporter, to me it really shows that this is a very close community which are not open to strangers, well i got the message and won't be coming back thank you very much to all those who did gave me some real advise
yeah good to see ya back ( did you leave then ?? LOL ) . Although glad to see a decent poster back couldmade the feckin effort with a new avatar :-)
Make way for the thread-killer supreme.....there!
Mike.
Well stop bumping this thread. Tune wanted it too die.
I'm new here and found this thread most interesting. I obviously have no comments about how it used to be, but joining in is a bit of a bumpy ride. Have had some nice people offering advice but also a fair bit of derision, I'm not really that arsed about it and can give a fair account of myself but I do think it will breed more of the same. As a new poster it is far easier to take the piss out of some other hapless newbie than stick your own head above the parapet and so it goes on. I am quite a fan of good natured witty piss taking and have enjoyed the banter but it could be off putting for new and established members who don't like it, and it does happen a lot. Another observation is the single guy wants sex posts I have made have been viewed hundreds of times and generated lots of replies, admittedly most of them indicating that I may be a sad wanker and should put more effort in, but I have seen lengthy posts from single guys drop off the forum in a flash, with little views and being bumped back up by the origional poster whereas my negatively viewed ones sit happily at the top for a couple of days, if people don't like them why don't they let them dissapear?? Can't resist a bit more slating I suspect.
As for RoadKnights parting shot. Can't say I'm really that arsed but I suspect it was harder for him to write than it will be for us to read, it will soon be gone, if only I would just let it die.
If you have read this far then...........
very well done.
Nice post Kent-man... a lot of sense spoken there.
Tune you just bumped the fLucker again........mike tried his best for you but even his magic touch isnt working....Mike your losing your touch mate.
See, now if you had started it we would have hi-jacked it by know.
So doesnt Tuney want this one up the top then ??
Sorry mate it was an accident
It was me this time Dave , it was them !
:lol:
