The New Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

Interesting...

I think no matter what we do in any forum, people are going to come and go. The ones that want to be here will be here. The rest may find their place in another board or just leave Lit altogether.

I'd rather the posters here stay themselves than see the forum overrun with personal ads and picture threads (which is ok, but how many different submission pic threads do we need?). It seems like the forum died even more after pointing out that some of us make people elsewhere uncomfortable. Those people aren't participating here so I'm not going to bend over backwards to please them.

As was mentioned in that thread, people who post regularly and sincerely seem to be the ones that become regulars. I'm all for more people joining in, but lately it's just people asking an "I'm new tell me how to get started" thread and then we never hear from them again. Doesn't matter how nice we are to them.

Alright, I'm done ranting...

(; ̄O ̄)

I've noticed a few people posting a bit more often here in recent weeks, though it's not like the place is overrun with newcomers. Ultimately, you're right that it's the folks who post sincerely, authentically, and regularly who form the community. Others who de-lurk will do so from time to time as they see opportunities to say something they feel is important - or funny, or whatever.
 
^^^ this :) So can we just go back to being snarky and cliquey again? :D

Yes, permission granted! :D

What the heck? :confused: I posted in MWY's thread and I'm still participating, if less that I once did.

And the noobs posting "how to get started" threads have always come and gone. At least during the the two years I've either watched or been on the forum. It just comes and goes in waves. *shrug*

Just venting. :rose: A good portion of us participated in that thread.

Gulp.

I wasn't going to post here at all. Ever. I posted only because I wanted to give thanks, which felt important to me, on the body play/ sneak a peek thread, then to thank acknowledgement.

I'm so nervous to type this my hands are shaking. I'm learning so much from reading here over recent weeks but I didn't think I'd ever engage. Ever. I cannot see my partner and I ever going to a munch for various reasons.

Some of the kindnesses towards others I have read here on this board is so touching. Some comments have reinforced my.....caution.

How many non intentional 'I wasn't going to say anything but' s do I make before I give in and say hello some where?

My husband and I don't do the local anything. This place was my intro and how I was able to start learning. It is my local community as far as I'm concerned. :heart:

The nerves subside, I think I rewrote my first post 20 times with shaking fingers before I hit 'submit.' f^_^; )
 
It is interesting to think about the community here. I posted pretty regularly for a couple of years and then disappeared for the most part for a couple. It is nice to see that many I loved reading their posts still participate.

And many of us are quietly happy that you're back. :rose:
 
Soooo...when did this place turn into the worst parts of Tumblr? I feel like I've missed something here.
 
Weren't a bunch just moved and deleted? :confused:

I'm also a little confused. Why was Sneak a Peak moved but not the other photo threads? :confused:

I'm not 100% sure what happened with the thread moves. I can see that the Spread Eagle Bondage thread, which is almost exclusively pictures and gif files, is still in the Talk forum but I can't find the Control Me thread any longer at all. There was some discussion in Shank's thread about its proper location and I saw Etoile post there that she was moving it. I don't know about the excess gif file threads that were started the other day.

Just to be clear, Control Me wasn't moved to the Cafe? Why would that be moved out of BDSM. :confused:
 
No good, I wonder why those threads were deleted and not just moved. Copyright issues? I have no idea.
 
I used to be a regular poster in a few select groups. Eventually those drifted apart, as did the friendships. The most important thing you will find here is acceptance. There will be areas where the trolls and jerkfaces rear their ugly heads, but for the most part you will be accepted. Regardless of shape, color, creed, persuasion, belief, or lack of belief, someone/some group will accept you.

Welcome to Lit. Thank you for being brave. We were all there once.

:rose:

I purchased new running shoes today and I'm kind of excited to try them out. I'm not fond of the color scheme, but I was being more picky about the price. All in all, my old shoes were about as supportive as wrapping washcloths around my feet, so this is good. Very good.
 
I bought soap and the texts on the bottle are paired as DK/SE and NO.

Where is the world going? Can I trust anything anymore? :eek:

Mayhem! Chaos!

Is this some kind of code? Do you need me to call someone? :confused:
