What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

There has always been some difficulty in getting to know people here, but it seems worse now. Aside from a few select people in my DM, I really don't have a good feel for a lot of people here. I think part of it is just the sheer volume of posts, it's overwhelming at times to try to keep up on even a few threads. Maybe that's just the nature of what life online has become. With so many people here, it's easier to feel alone while being "connected".

This site has changed over the years, and part of me misses what it used to be like. What really saddens me is there has been an endless stream of interesting people come on the scene and eventually fade away. That may just be the nature of a site like this, where the anonymity gives you freedom. Likewise it gives people the ability to just walk away. Good or bad, it is part of the draw.

It seems like there are a fewer threads with longer and more in-depth posts and discussion. Maybe that's why its hard to get to know people. I do miss how it used to be.

I think you are right. There seem to be less of those. Maybe we're all getting sick of discussing the same thing over and over again?
Although, corralling all of the political posts in one forum was a good idea!

Sometimes I find myself looking on the "What's new" page for threads with the fewest pages, those tend to be more interesting. And it's easier to catch up on two or three pages of posts and get a feel for what's going on.

Lit definitely feels different than it did even a month or so ago. A few Litsters took a step back (either by leaving, taking a break or posting less) after someone made them feel uncomfortable about what they chose to share. Some are looking for a new outlet because of new rules regarding nude photos on Lit. It was stated that some individual pictures would be edited out of posts, as well as some photo threads outright deleted. Some people left entirely, whether because of those or other reasons isn’t always clear, as most didn’t say their goodbyes or give reasons before they left. All this is coinciding with Skype shutting down, so I’d imagine it’s also easier to look for outlets to replace 2 forms of communications at once

The discussion is more fresh then. Over time, there's not really much new interesting things to say about a topic in most cases.

It does seem different now. What happened?

The nudity rules are weird to me. I don't understand why you can say almost anything but you can't have a natural naked body in a context where people would be expecting to see nudity. All I can think of is that they might be trying to make the site more friendly for advertisers or certain laws or something.

You did ask, but sorry the answer isn’t better news for you

There are a LOT of people here. Some share a lot of themselves, inside and out, and it is easier (at least for me) to connect with them as whole humans, while others remain faceless strangers for a while. That can change, but it takes time, some opening up on the part of the faceless ones, being observant on the part of everyone else, and some good timing and/or luck.

I joked about the possibility of @Mr_bogey not existing because I haven’t seen his face or much else (I think maybe his feet/ankles once, but I don’t like feet, so I resumed scrolling pretty quickly LOL) but we’ve chatted and he’s posted about enough other things in threads I frequent that I have formed some sense of who he is over time.

It’s entirely possible that I’m only selectively observant and have missed some very deep shares from you, but without scrolling through your post history first, I’m struggling to recall any personal details. I think I’ve seen you most in game threads. It’s easy to give 1-word answers in those threads, and equally easy for people to skim over whatever they missed and skip straight to the last post to reply. Some answers can be really interesting and/or hilarious though. Purely social threads are a great way to get to know the myriad of personalities here too

I just gotta say sorry if it sounded like I was attacking you or something.
The previous posts about this weren't about any specific user or anything, was more generalized.
No need to deep dive me and my post history, I know I'm pretty socially reserved and background quiet.
Heck, even in this reply to your paragraph, I can barely think of something else to add.
I wasn't even really expecting a reply to my first post in this chain. Was just an off thought.

I'm curious how things are going to change going forward. The nudity changes may drive a lot of people off. Good or bad, that is likely to shift the dynamic here.

Either way, I'm going to be here.

I don't know why I keep leaving.

Some of that may be due to existing US law. There are laws on the books the required web sites to keep records of all "models", to verify their age. None of the images here have those records associated with them. I doubt members here would volunteer that information to the website owners.

By not having that information on file, it may just be too big of a liability given the current political climate. It might be as simple as removal of those images or shutting it all down. Although artwork depictions of nudity don't quite fit that scenario.

 

[AtramentousRex]

You ever really want to be friends with somebody, but your cray keeps acting up and you always say stupid shit?

 

[QwertyMaster]

I'm thinking this thread got more serious than my silly, horny ass can handle.

I for one am loving the discussion's...
For a few years, I only really posted my naked body in my own thread, but as people do, I've done some changing of who I am...
I'll still post picture links, but more R rated, not XXX rated..

I like showing off that I think also..

 

[italiansexylady]

I love my family

omg i just realized what i accidently left in my text box. when i sent that. I am sorry.

 

[LostHorizon]

I always look at the background when people post pics as much as the actual picture. You can tell a lot about a person sometimes.

I do this too!

Which is why I make sure I crop out the crap in the background of my own pics

If you and the cat are home alone and suddenly the cat is hissing and screeching in the hallway, I don't really think yelling “Hey…hey!” is going to do much good.

 

[ericalauren]

I just showered and now I'm thinking about how yummy my shower gel smells. It's Pacifica's Strawberry Peach shower gel, fwiw. What shower gel did you use today?

 

[~Elizabeth~]

Will this damn day ever end with all the 4th shit?
