I think it's sorta amazing that there are so many visitors are viewing this forum!! It's interesting....imagine how cool it would be if 76 MEMBERS were viewing! *hint hint*

Well...that is all. I'm bored, sorry hahaha

I confess, I lurked for quite a while before I joined. Once I realized I wasn't so alone in my fantasies, I took the plunge and joined. Maybe others will do the same.

I've been known to also read threads without logging in... Which means I'm flagged as a guest, although I'm actually a member...

I am always surprised by the number of guests. Think of all the new perspectives and ideas not being posted. All the friendships not made.

I seldom actually log in unless there's something I want to say. So Andrew, who knows? Perhaps a good proportion of those 'guests' *were* actual members?

And, after a few years of reading the posts, it all get a bit the same. There's a guy who keeps spamming about how he's going to donate his to a museum, but never does; there's the guys who ask the same questions which have been answered a hundred times in the posts, often in complete, comprehensive and exact detail; and there's the usual trolls who get past the... I have to say: usually excellent gatekeepers at the archive. Thanks guys, you do a fantastic job which most of us appreciate more than you get told. I suppose it's being in the arse end of an increasingly repressed united kingdom with no access to eunuchs which is getting me down. Anyhow, proud to be a member.

Probably 99% are NOT members. The number of hits this site generates, between the forums and the story archive, is astounding. Most of them follow direct inquiries, or just follow trails of links. As I recall, we get around 250,000 distinct ISP hits every month

Very impressive, one wouldn't think this was a popular site considering the subject matter. But then again, sexual stuff is very popular on the net anyway.

well, i remember i just stuck to the stories for ages before i got the nerve to slip into the forums. i'm still a bit shy but working on it. you would be surprised how many people just come to the site to browse and see what's going on. i have a few non-member friends that like to keep up with stories and occasionally skim through the posts.

I'm grateful for this site because it makes me feel less alone. I always thought my fantasies were incredibly strange and rare. Now I know that there are plenty more folks like me - and the ones here are those that are willing to admit it. Imagine how many more there must be...
