Guest lurkerspeaks Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Over on "the other site", the forums flourished with posts, replies, responses, and general conversations. But over here, I can't figure out what it takes to get people to participate..If you browse thru most of the active posts here, the prominant names seem to be TampaYankee, TotallyOz, Tomcal, and MarkAnthony. But the numbers at the bottom of the page says over 23,000 members... I admit that I am guilty of not posting here as frequently as I could, but since the latest meltdown, i have tried to do my part and have started numerous threads and added to some of the already active ones as well.. I will also admit that I am the type person who will post, and then want to see how much activity that post receives, how many responses it generates... I created a thread on daddys site of "name three things a day that you are thankful for".. I created that thread in mid May, and as of the meltdown, it was still active, with over 4100 views and 215 responses... Why can't we get something like that going over here where people will WANT to log in to see what has been added today???? I want to see THIS site flourish and grow. I will do my part..But how can we get others to join in??? Quote
Guest FourAces Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Lurker I hope you're successful. It has always puzzled me why posters would continuously take the abuse and lack of respect handed out at daddys site over the openness and respect found here. I understand people do not like change but change in this case would be for the betterment of all persons posting to the other site. Clearly the even handedness of balance here is light-years superior of the heavy handed moderation at daddys mc. OZ has given us a very escort / client friendly forum to use and I think its about time people take advantage of this space. Otherwise I'm sure when it comes down to it OZ and TY might feel that it no longer is cost effective or time effective to maintain the forums on their site. In that case on the next daddy-deej meltdown where does everybody go? Will it be like the ending of Lost? Quote

BiBottomBoy Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I never repeat myself. I never repeat myself. Quote
Members seattlebottom Posted July 26, 2010 Members Posted July 26, 2010 I can't speak for others but I rarely participate in the forums because most of the topics are not of interest to me. It does seem though that the escorts are a lot more active on the other site and it's usually one of their posts which starts either a fan fawn or flame war. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 You could always try to start an interesting topic? Quote
Members seattlebottom Posted July 26, 2010 Members Posted July 26, 2010 You could always try to start an interesting topic? LOL...assuming I'm interesting, that's kinda cute. I'm basically a shy person even on the internet, I would hate to start a subject and then see it die after a few (or no) posts. I'll gladly chime in here more often though. I've got a trip to SF planned for late September and I'll try to set up an itinerary based on what the guys here think I might like. Quote
