Is the Eunuch Archive Dead?

Or maybe the real problem is that castration was only a passing fad?

How True, you try it once and never do it again.

The EA is alive. River, however, hmm how do I put this? He's the perfect example of rigomortis in motion

Hi, Sorry, I have not added any more to this thread I started, as I have had a lot of personal issues to sort out, including our 7 month old having an OP, and my mother-in-law dying, and having to arrange a funeral etc...

The idea of posting the original message was to try and gauge how many people actually read the board, and care to some extent about board and the subject matter it contains, and more importantly the minority community it supports.

Whilst I think most people agree, that a lot of posts recently have been well off topic, it is good to know that there are a good number of people who care about this board. I may not post very often, but I do login at least once per week, sometimes a lot more often.

The very ironic thing is that although I have been looking to be castrated of the last 15 years or so, if I had reached my goal, I would not have a fantastic 7 month old son with my 2nd wife, but having said that we now have 5 kids, and my desire to reach my goal of getting castrated in the UK is as strong as ever.

I hope the board lives to a ripe old age, and that there are more active posts in the future on the subject of castration and eunuchs.

All the best

Andy

If you look at near the bottom of the message board page you will find What's Going On? On the next line the number of people that are reading posts at the present time is listed. Currently Active Users (http://eunuch.org/vbulletin/online.php):.

You will see at least 100 people in the message board at any time. Often 150 or so. The most we ever had on line in resent times is 277 last Friday. So the readers are increasing.

Think a vasectomy may be more what you want. That will prevent more children. I do not see where you listed the reasons for castration.

I have no choice but to completely avoid a couple of avatars on this site plus some of the links. I'm very certain that many others completely avoid this site altogether for that reason. Many of the younger persons who have been around the web all of their lives are very adept at avoiding places like this. I am unable to tell most people that I am here.

Point taken. However the reverse is also true. Think any one that is looking in a site with the name of Eunuch, should expect to see images like in the avatars. This site is to provide information on castration. Big part of that is to provide other sources of information. How can you not give out a link to information on the subject. Some may to to sites that are not to your liking. No way can we filter out such websites for some people. If management has an issue with relevance to the site the posting is removed. If you want to see nice little bunnies kitty cats and dogs then go to a channel that has that in the topic. Think many people pick a avatar that in some way describes there interest or status. If some wants a bunny that is their choice. Some avatars are removed if they relate to something that is not supported or allowed in this site. Minors references are not allowed. Hope the younger persons you are talking about are not minors.

The eunuch topic is not something that is talked about in "normal" life situations. Think most people are uncomfortable taking to others that they are or want to be castrated. Some do walk around with a T-shirt or hat with a reference of eunuch on it. They are making a statement to others. No one needs to know that you are in here. It is just not any of their business. You should not be assumed of being in here. You are here for a reason. It has meaning for you. You do not have to justify your presence here.

Hope you stay around. Many good points you have had in other theads.

You can turn off avatars in your USER CP.

Have you ever tried talking to someone, let's say who is well shaven but has a head of hair coming out their nose? Ridiculous! Huh? Or how about someone that stinks to high heaven? You know that nobody else will talk to them for the obvious reason but here you are having to listen to them and you really just don't know why since that person is not at all interested in making himself presentable. I have been at the hot springs many times, naked and talking to other naked persons but never anyone with a hard-on. Most people would say that if they are only interested in making themselves a full blown itiot then they can just go to hell and anyway who wants to have to LISTEN to them?

When it comes to surfing the web and you find yourself in a pornographic area because of the amount of pop-ups that come up your first natural response has to be shut down and reboot. The reason is not because of the pornography itself but because of all the pop-ups and solicitations that you're just not interested in.

Anyone at the library or at a coffee shop who comes upon a site with pictorial "pornography" must legally shut it off immediately. Most people know this and so therefore they will avoid such places too. Words don't normally matter but the pictures do. And the librarian will not hesitate in yanking your card. At a family home you'd be suspect too. I, myself go to great lengths to hide them.

Yes. I can turn off all of the avatars but my most favorite solution just like in the fifth grade is to avoid itiots. In grade school kids liked to cuss just for the fact that they could use such language and get away with it amony your peers. But then after a while and you keep on like that you simply become a dweeb. It's all about the socialization process and some of us seem to be pretty short. Of course you can go the other way and become a prude too but this isn't about that.

The log-on page for EA has a warning about the contents of the site. That should be enough to discourage the peck-sniffs or those using computers where they might be seen by people who are supposed to be protected from truth.

The whole point of EA is to be a meeting place for those with an interest in the issues - medical, physical, psychological, moral, political, etc. - surrounding castration and gender. Sexual identity and its expression, especially in non-normal ways, is the subject. I see no reason, once someone has read the warning and chosen to log on, to be coy or evasive.

I don't know what the big deal is. Aside from the fact that avatars can be turned off in the User CP, I don't allow pornographic pics to be used, and insist on a certain amount of discretion, simply because we are occasionally viewed in public places. We also like to be taken somewhat seriously, which wouldn't happen if the place were loaded up with porn. If one considers avatars such as A-1's to be pornographic, then they have my sympathies and concern for their closed state of mind, or that of those they are "protecting."
