A couple of things, surcher, glad all is well and you're in good health sir. Happy New Year.Thank you, same to you. Yes, this place was very different. Being an asshole wasn't in vogue. Many of us were friends and actually got together semi-regularly, both men and women. Socials weren't looked down upon and to have 70 to 100 people show up throughout the night was not uncommon. Women would meet for drinks, or dinner and charging for getting together never entered their mind. A woman actually came and took me to dinner. She even came here, picked me up and we spent New Years Eve together. I spent the night at her house and, try as I might, we didn't ring in the new year with BCD activities. I spent the day with her and her kids. We were friends.
And damn this place was a lot different in 2010.

I met MLisa as she was a birthday gift from fellow hobbyists and Italia. We got along so well she followed that with a gift of herself as a Christmas gift. She brought along Lil Red Robin for a double, as long as I took care of Robin. I bought Lisa some lingerie for Christmas. She's come out a couple of times just to catch up over dinner. If she lived closer, she said she would have just been a friend with benefits.
While we still have some of the women still with us from then, it's mostly a new generation of women. Socials are a thing of the past and I might as well be a newbie, as I've been turned down for not having enough references and for them not being recent enough. Most of the women I've seen have retired. It seems like "off the clock" things, such as meeting for dinner, are heading in the direction of socials. Originally Posted by surcher

Another sign that it's the owners is the allowing of the private forums. If your general member on here knew what went on in there, all the ones who could even spell the word "privacy" would be posting "delete my account" threads in droves. Not only did they set them up, they put some of the worst trolls in charge.
