"Attention?
What other reason?
Isn't fab turning into the ultimate social media site killing it as a hook up sex site?
*Runs & hides....
"
Sometimes attention, sometimes passing the time of day, sometimes for genuine discussions.
Why can't it be both? Most people don't use the forums anyway so not sure how it makes a difference? |

Bit of banter but also interested in what other people have to say on certain things. Curious to hear other people's life experience, too.
If I did not like the forums, I would not have been here for 10 years, give or take.  |

Well it is called the lounge? There's a swingers forum too? |

The forum is a very small part of Fab, only 0.02 % use the forums, the vast majority don’t even know it’s here, we are screaming into the void, it is a speck on a speck, floating in space. Cool your jets. |

Less and less atm.
The flirting has died down, as the intention behind it is fruitless for now.
I miss the forum flirting, getting to know potential meets, planning fantasy situations!
You got to know a person, their desires and quirks, sense of humour...
Now there much more pettiness and arguing.
I'm hoping it perks up again when meets are allowed  |

At this moment there is approximately 29500 people online on fab of which approximately less than 200 are posting in the forums!
But the negativity in here today is quite depressing ... I wonder at myself for posting really! But hoping my more realist/glass half full sensibilities will cheer someone up! |

Bit off every thing
To make friends
To maybe meet someone nice
To build a report off who I am before even chatting to someone as they can read my posts and see what kind off person I am before ever have chat to me
To flirt with people
And sometimes the odd bit off attention |

Mainly just some sort of chat to pass boredom ect, will it carry on when social life returns, yeah probably.
It's led to a few chats away from the forums and possibly to chance to meet people at some point aswell |

Meant to add - the forums are, over time, a great way to get to know people. Obviously not in detail but you do get a sense of whether or not you are on the same wavelength as somebody else.

The green arrow shows you post and engage in threads that are not always sex (swinging) threads. |

"Started a fun thread if anyone wants to fantasise about things to come.
Let's have some fun  "
I can confirm it is a fun thread, lots to see and do and there are drinks and nibbles |

I couldn't agree with you more about forums! They are something that I actually discovered out of boredom, and further exploration of this site during lock down when even meeting up direct with established contacts would have been stupidity on the highest level, and it may have been a pointless exercise simply messaging people who you liked the look of at this moment in time. What I actually discovered that it's an outstanding way to get yourself noticed by people from different parts of the UK with whom you might just have a meeting of minds. Also judging from the private repsonses I get, it seems that there's a great deal of people who read the forums but don't actually post on them, which suggests to me that posting on forum's is a fantastic way to bring yourself to the attention of others, and this is obviously going to result in successful future meets after look down as we get to know more about the people who we are connecting with. |

Being single, it's a fun pass time posting and having people to interact with bit of bants & a flirt.
I think cause of lockdown restrictions Fab was turning into basic social media. Hope it leans back bit more to a fun swingers site. |

It is a swinging site, the forum's are not just for talking about sex. |

"To pass time and I get to learn an awful lot about people. For a single,shy person it's invaluable. "
Also learn who to stay away from without having to be rejected. |

I post to have a laugh, a joke and feel a bit more involved. It gives me a tiny insight into some of the personalities here & vice versa. Attraction is more complicated than cold mails & picture trawling. |

I post threads on subjects that interest me, to hear different points of view, and thinking points.
If people don’t like my threads there are plenty of others. Easy come, easy go  |

I don't have a six pack (I have a keg)
I'm not hung like a sky remote. Not even the small ones.
I don't have a full head of hair anymore.
But I have opinions and I feel like I'm reasonable and rational so I can be a good forum poster.
(I'm also too serious and very dry)
So it's a bit of both. It's how I get to show off until I get to dance with people or kiss them. And I get to talk and feed that side of my ego |

I thought the lounge was always a place for chatting and general banter.
There are plenty of other places on here to look for hookups.
The site caters for both chatting and hook ups, and IMHO is a better place for it.
Plus, I prefer the completely open conversions you get on here than on a social media site. |

Because I can.. I certainly dont post as much as I used to. Was quite the forumite back in the day.. but guess time has made me feel less inclined to post as much. Plus I genuinely prefer to keep a lower profile these days
I tend to post to share knowledge mostly these days or to have a laugh with friends. |

It's a combination of factors, lockdown boredom certainly being one.
However, I would also say that there are some stimulating debates with thoughtful, well-informed contributors who articulate viewpoints I haven't considered. I don't object to the general smut and silliness either
And of course, it's a way of interacting with other users and sidestepping the perennial single male curse of not getting any bloody messages  |

Meeting new people, having a laugh, venting, enjoying a good argument, raging at a stupid one.... sharing thoughts, memories, feelings, and at times even therapy  .....
Mostly its just being part of a community that whilst we're all so diverse and unique, all share a common bond |

Swingers chat forum may be the better option instead of the lounge. |

Why do I post?
Because the spider who's moved in doesn't respond.
Because I like to make people laugh, cry and vomit.
Because there are times I do have interesting things to say.
Because sometimes I don't want others feeling ignored.
Because I do attend forum socials and if I don't get involved on the forum I won't know who thinks I'm a cretin or who's drink to flob in.
Because actually, some people here are fucking awesome humans

The forums make up a very small part of the site. Therfore they are unlikely to change the site.
Ultimately this site is whatever people want it to be. Do what works for you.
There's no right or wrong way to use it.
As for why I post, many reasons. Sometimes I say something interesting and it's good to start a discussion.
Sometimes I say something silly and it might make people smile or laugh.
Sometimes I'm bored and it passes some time.
Mostly though, because I can! |

"To piss people off so they block me
Blocked lol.... Only joking you carry on pissing people off "
Having been around the block, no pun intended, for a few years now, with a wealth of experience behind me, I can never quite get why people block someone, especially when genuine 24 carat nut case's are fully aware that all they have to do is get a new email address, then upload a fresh profile, and get back to you, AGAIN! If that's their intent. I personally find that ignoring someone is far more effective, especially when there is the facility in place to look at a message, and mark it as unread. A couple of pals and I, each professional guys with a good standard of living, and reasonably experienced were debating this subject of being blocked by people we haven't even messaged, and we have all come to the conclusion that we are being blocked by rank amateurs who have read, and digested our profiles, and realise that they are out of their depths. That comment should piss a few off lol |
