Three Years Of Fun And Games

Well, we're coming up on the third anniversary of our move here from the old board. We've had some ups and downs. More than a few of our friends have gone down in flames or are MIA. I discovered that there was piss in the Kool-Aid and did a 180 in my attitude re the hobby. Anyone care to comment on the state of this place we call home? (Please keep the whining about missing hookers to a minimum ;-)

piss? I thought it was shit flavored LOL

I haven't been banned in a while. Any of the mods want to help me out there?
To me, the board is serving its main purpose of "information exchange". I wish there were more "coed" bantering, but I understand what the first C in ECCIE stands for. As least it is still a "community" of people with a common interest. Just as in our "real" world, we have to live with the usual mixed bag of sages, bullies and wise guys, but the anonymity does exacerbate certain behavior.

Jack,

Valid points! EVERY community has its ups and downs and ECCIE is no different!

Jokacz,

I think that, IMHO, we continue to grow/build/flourish/ and occasionally get tripped up but that for good or bad, the good is outweighing the bad!

GP,

I kind of get grape with a hint of lime

Honestly, more and more of the actual Gents and Ladies are becoming backbenchers and lurkers/just ad posters. Us squeaky wheels are pretty much the only ones left.
I never took this site seriously because of the boys club demeanor. I appreciate and adore my regulars, ATFs, SD, and new friends I meet here, I take them seriously. Without messing around on this site (only for shits and giggles bored in my office) I never would have bothered with local Gents, Rochester, or Syracuse. I am so happy that I did, I have made amazing friends and regulars in those cities.
I am beyond lucky and grateful that I have become more fortunate as a result of this board. Not only am I more fortunate, I get to spend more time with my amazing family and friends in WNY.
I am happy that I decided to be a part of this board.
No need for an acceptance speech...all in peace

Are you referring to the site, the "hobby" itself.... or some kind of "self-realization" thing?

Havent been here too long but since I have been here we got a sugar baby thing going which is where I hang out most of the time.

I like it but I can be an asshole from time to time.

Also, how much shit some guys are willing to put up with for a little barebacking. Which, of course, no one here would ever do. And with very rare exceptions, when you remove money from the mix, there is not a lot of "friendship" left.
Love a cynical homie keepin it real!
