And rightly so. I am not disputing that may be members loyal to Daddy, or that Old Timers matter. I am disputing the apocalyptic tone. Sure, there is always change, but the site seems pretty healthy to me. But let's drop the disagreements for a sec. I would love to take advantage from your sources and your seniority. What Deej's alternative nick names do you know? Quote

That may be an overly dramatic characterization of my voice, however, my disdain for a guy like deej can't be overstated enough. It took me awhile to learn what others had been saying for a long, long time. And I found out they were absolutely correct. 4 hours ago, Latbear4blk said: What Deej's alternative nick names do you know? My list is over six years old. She had more personalities than Sybil back then. She once sent me an email using a fake name to denigrate Oz and the MER site. I still have it. She vehemently denied sending it to me, calling me a liar on the board. When I called her on it by posting a screenshot of the two emails from the same IP address, but with different names, I got banned. I stopped paying attention to that lying, low-rent bitch long ago. I got banned numerous times for publicly criticizing Daddy's mods. If you want to survive there, you definitely don't want to question their tactics or their ethics. None of those assholes scared me. I didn't care if I got banned. Challenging their stupidity was worth it. AdamSmith 1 Quote

I do not understand what you meant. The changes in Friendboys ownership may have affected traffic because they translated into changes in the business model. I do not see the analogy with the alleged loyalty to the owner. Quote
Members Lucky Posted July 31, 2018 Author Members Posted July 31, 2018 It has been pointed out so many times that when things get slow here, it's inevitable that a thread about the other site would come up. Larstrup said he was under investigation, and that's a matter of interest to the poster here. I wish he had provided more details since his claim seems dubious. I did not know that he was on a timeout here. He should be back in a couple of weeks and then be able to explain what happened. I like the way the board is currently going and hope that continues. But I would like to focus here and not over there. So no more investigations for people here who donate there! zazzu 1 Quote

The name changing is not a consequence of a change in the ownership, but of the post SESTA/FOSTA panic. Quote

Things were slow, but they now seem to be picking up, and RockHardNYC is one of the reasons. We have new posters as well, and perhaps a renewed interest from existing posters. I thank Oz for that as he has clearly set out what he wants the forum to be and how he wants its members to relate to each other. We're friends, at least here! : Quote

Intent matters. I've never had a problem with any forum writer practicing his or her Dorothy Parker. It's often through snark we find the greatest humor in a personality. I enjoy differing personalities, but I especially enjoy those who are gifted with writing humorously. When people are all alike, the party tends to be boring as hell. That said, intent matters when using snark for effect. If your snark is coated in hate, then I say it's fit for the trash bin. Thin-skinned people are more exhausting than dining with vegans. If I'm in the company of a man who can't take a joke, who can't laugh at himself, I think TRUMP. Stay away. I love men with smart humor. The kind of guy who enjoys poking fun at himself. If you're too sensitive, you can't be any fun. I have no desire to see any forum become a wrapped sanitary napkin. A true gentleman's club, one that is fun and successful, should be a lively and exciting place to belong. However, to acquire such spirited conviviality, you need an owner who understands what is important. An owner with a lot of patience. An owner who knows how to cook with just the right recipe of rules. It takes time and a lot of tinkering. IMO, Oz is showing promise. I certainly love the new software design with all the white space. This is good news for us gay men who enjoy a fun escort. My apologies for the hi-jack. Latbear4blk and AdamSmith 1 1 Quote

Guest BtmBearDad Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 As a “newbie” here, but an “oldie” of sorts from the other place, this thread -the humour, the snark, the back and forth btwn posters- warms my heart! It’s also nice to see some familiar names from days gone by, and renew one’s appreciation for their musings. Thanks, gents! Quote
