Members Latbear4blk Posted October 4, 2020 Members Share Posted October 4, 2020 I just tried the ignore feature in this website for the first time. In Daddy's forums, when you ignore someone you do not see the threads that person creates. I was so happy when I stopped seeing marylander's crap! However, I still see the threads created by the poster I am trying to ignore here. I would love to be able to erase from my screen all those threads.

Members Latbear4blk Posted October 6, 2020 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2020 Yeah, sorry @TotallyOzbut there are too many glitches. The one thing that is working better for me is losing in. Besides that, the boytoy experience has suffered. Buddy2 and AdamSmith 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RockHardNYC Posted October 6, 2020 Members Share Posted October 6, 2020 I'm not a big fan of ignoring people, but wisdom teaches us that certain people in the public square aren't worth the precious time in your day. Life is way too short to waste it. Luckily for me, I respect discipline. Probably has something to do with my childhood and my wonderful parents. I guess there's been some changes since my last visit? It's not every day Latbear4blk is speaking openly about his ignore list. So sorry to read the word "shitshow" associated with the changes. If AS says they're bad, there must be problems. Poor Oz. Running a board can be a such a pain. This is my return post. Let's see if I encounter software issues. I don't have any patience for bugs and glitches. AdamSmith, Buddy2 and Latbear4blk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any patience for bugs and glitches. Welcome back. Nothing really happened. The situation is actually similar to what I used to experience in the other site. There is one or a few posters who would be actually very easy to ignore because I have zero interest in everything they post (think of marylander, for instance). However, I cannot ignore them because they post a lot. The way I experience the forum would be better if I can see something appealing to me in the list of latest posts. o drama, as you can see. When I blocked marylander over there, not only his posts vanished, but also all those countless threads he opens. That is not the case here. It is much better now, but still would love if all those posts left more room for my interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotallyOz Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 If you add someone to the ignore list, you choose what you want to ignore. If you click posts, it will ignore all posts. It does not seem to ignore those that start threads but if you click on someone you ignore who start a thread, you won't see what they post but you see the title of the thread from them if others have posted in that thread.

Members RockHardNYC Posted October 7, 2020 Members Share Posted October 7, 2020 "Hitting the gym" at 80 is a good thing. I hope and pray my body will keep up. RGB and her trainer inspired many. Plus, a gym is a great place to see many naked male bodies. It's often worth the price of admission. There are a lot of younger guys who enjoy playing with older men, especially when the older men appear to be fit and care about their health. Caring about your health can be a sexual turn-on, even if it's just a perception. AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caring about your health can be a sexual turn-on, even if it's just a perception. This is a tangential line of thought, which we have mentioned before, but to repeat. A good number of intelligent sensitive younger guys enjoy hanging (& more) with middle-aged guys who treat them as full people & adults. And want to genuinely know them, not in any exploitative aspect. Numerous escorts I have been with have been surprisingly shocked by that.

A weird coincidence, my favorite poster over there also decided to quit about the same time I did. I know a lot of guys go back, but not sure if I ever will.

I know a lot of guys go back, but not sure if I ever will. It is a major shame that the escort board that gets the most traffic is owned by an imbecile and run by a bunch of asshole queens. But if being at a larger party is important to you, then what better choice does one have? I have been to some AMAZING parties in my day, but I always preferred smaller gatherings in my living room to elevate substance over drug-fueled noise. While this place is not my personal creation, I find Oz a much more reasonable gay board owner to deal with. Oz seems intelligent, funny, patient and highly tolerant. And I can relate more to his politics. Political bias or affiliation is not a litmus test with me amongst friends, but it's nice to agree with many thoughts and ideas expressed. IMO, Hooboy was the one with the sparkling PERSONALITY. Where he lacked management skill, he had SPLASH. Splash and sparkle died a lonely death over there long ago. And since money in porn has almost dried up, running a board like this must come down to a labor of love that simply empties the wallet every month. Where can you find a Hooboy in today's marketplace to fund and create a truly wonderful gentleman's club for escort lovers? I've crunched the numbers. That's a serious tough sell.

You just described most of the guys who work for me. Not all of them are gay, but they're all sensitive and intelligent. And they enjoy working in the company of creative gay men. I hire women, too. If you possess strong talent, I'm an equal opportunity employer. As for sex, I don't do under 30, even though I'll flirt with anyone. Playing "daddy" never turned me on. If I fall in love with a 25-year-old, I prefer to offer him a job instead of intimacy. But that's me. I already have a son, and our love runs very deep.
