Ignored users

[Latbear4blk]

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.

The last few updates of the forum software here have been a shitshow.

[Latbear4blk]

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.

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.

Thinking on it, this sounds very much like a side reference to anal sex.

I ought to add: it is no fault of Oz. It is sloppy work by InVision, the commercial software product platform this site runs on.

It has gone to shit of late. Why I know not.

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.

I am jealous that you never see Marylander's threads Yesterday he actually yelled at me for starting two threads about Trump's covid illness.

Mary 1940 has likely started 800 + threads over there and perhaps a few here too

Put him in ignore! Your participation experience will change immediately, for better!

Thank you. I'm not thrilled to be back in America, but it was time.

When I first joined Hooboy, there was no "ignore" feature. Not long after I joined, I had twelve TROLLS crawl up my ass, wanting to infect me with their cancer. I could not believe members of that board were permitted this disgusting behavior, and I wrote Hooboy about it. One of the trolls on my list was deej. 

When the answers I received did not please me, I created a "Do Not Respond" list of usernames. I've never been good at remembering usernames so the list was necessary. In future attacks, I referred to my list. Self-ignore. I didn't need software to empower my online life.

Now I know that some TROLLS thrive on being utterly obnoxious. They have ZERO love in their lives and they're starving for attention, even negative attention. Because in their soul-less soul they are miserable. And they take pleasure in making others miserable, too. You can spot them a mile away.

Here's some learned wisdom: When shit refuses to come off your shoes, no matter how many times you try to clean them, throw the shoes away and buy a new pair. This is not the only place in the world for gay men to find a little fun.

I do not see the analogy. I am not under attack, and I am not suffering trolls. I am just looking for a way to improve my forum experience by eliminating what is not my interest.

How does one know something is not of interest before it is written? I never quite understood this because it doesn't make sense. Sounds like a bias against someone, for some reason.

I'm happy for you. Suffering a troll's wrath is such a waste of time and energy.

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.

The rating system there is crazy. Marylander 1940 is 80 years old and  extremely vindictive.

He calls  himself Marylander 1940, so I asked him if he was 80 years old and still  "hitting the gym."

 

 

[RockHardNYC]

"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.

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.

[AdamSmith]

The forum software is still a mess. I keep getting ‘new message’ & ‘new post’ notices from things opened & read days & weeks ago.

I like that idea.  So I guess I could say I threw away an old pair last month.   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.

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.
