Ive noticed that it is mainly same people commenting on topics... plus the topics also seem to rotate. I'm fairly new to the forum but am noticing the pattern. How long have you been chatting/commenting and how would you say fab has changed; and are the changes for better or worse?
Answer on a postcard please  |

I'm not sure how long I've been commenting, two maybe three years.
I have noticed that there are several topics which occur regularly and attitudes go in cycles. I try not to comment on certain threads because I know they will run a predictable course.

The same or similar topics do arise. It's because new people don't think to doba search for their topic and if they don't use the exact wording, it doesn't appear.
I use the forums a fair bit but can't take it seriously. |

I've been here around 3 years. I used the gobby determined method of joining the regulars - I just kept posting.
The same issues reappear frequently and can sometimes get lots of sarcasm. But there are generally some genuine responses too.
Poking the troll is a forum pastime, it irks the mods but done with care and mindful of the forum rules it can be fun  |

There are lifetime bans too. It's worth checking out the forum rules, then at least you know if you're walking into a ban. |

Been posting maybe 9 or 10 months, something like that. No idea if things have got better or worse in that time (possibly worse, because I've been here  ) |

Been here 18 months - have left a couple of times in that time span. Found the forums more or less straight away. It's the forums that pull me back. Sometimes they're the same , but there are days where I spend all day laughing. That's why I like them. |

Been reading the forum and posting bollocks for about 18 months...it hasn't changed much really,even though it can feel a bit like a revolving door at times, with folks coming and going. My favourite time in here was just over a year ago, but it was still fresh to me then. Now it's more like a comfy pair of shoes that I put on each day. My main reason I am still here is it helps me fulfil the goal of having a bloody good laugh each day. I've also got to know a few bloody lovely people on here and there are plenty more I'd like to get to know better. |

"Do you think they provide a deeper meaning to fab rather than just being on her looking for sex?"
I think so! Promotes a more friendly community feel & it gets you talking to people that you otherwise wouldn't talk to on here. |

Nice analogy "comfy pair of shoes" anyone else feel the same? |

Forum topics rotate a bit, yes. Sometimes flavours of a theme.
I've been here 3 years or so and my posted _iews have changed a bit, in line with my opinions. I sometimes don't post if it's tedious stuff. I add less humour now too.
I feel I'm miss sensible in the forums, though only others could determine that, as I maybe spout twaddle.
I tire of extremely long posts copied and pasted, for a user to add three or four words at the bottom. Takes too long scrolling down, through mass repeated posts to get the new bit of an opinion.
New users will likely continue to post the same stuff, especially single guys who've had no sex. We can spot the posts and ignore, if desired.
There's a bit more tolerance than there used to be, I think. |

It's all I really use on fab, having done the chat and cam thing, it's a bit of light relief, a bit of escapism and mostly makes me giggle.. I've met many a fellow forumite, and some long term friendships have been forged. I tend to stay away from the more serious threads, but have been drawn in occasionally... I ludicrous nonsense.. And often babble away to myself. Yes I've seen a change that's for sure... And arguably not for the better. |

I've been using the forums for less than a year so I consider myself to be a newbie.I do enjoy them and several times I've laughed out loud at comments that people have posted.I do avoid certain topics because they don't interest me but I accept that others do find them interesting.It's a shame that more Fabbers don't use the forums. |

Never been on the Forums in my life, never read anything, never commented on anything, and thats not going to change just because its a Saturday. So I can't answer your question. Sorry. Have a good day.

There are a few forumites I'd like to meet and maybe have sex with. I was in the chat rooms recently and some didn't know there was a forum. I also found out how tedious it is watching a man wank on cam. The backgrounds and their rooms, however...... |

I found the fora as soon as I joined 4 or so years ago and I've pretty much posted inane drivel ever since...I've made friends all over the country as a direct result of my mad ramblings and love travelling to the big socials (watch out Swingfields, The Wyrd Sisters are coming )
I find the fora endlessly fascinating but they go through phases where they're more bitchy than usual - love that there's new regulars coming along - one or two may end up on my hotlist  |

A good percentage of what i see in the forum is pretty insightful. Great place to ask a question and get some different _iews but there are also some right plonkers on here too...But that just makes it more fun if you ask me |

I think there's a fair bit more bi, gay and transgender tolerance than I used to see, which is a good thing. Not all tolerance levels have changed, and some people won't have changed their's upon anything. |

About 18 months for me. enjoy the patter here, met some lovely people. Like a good debate as long it doesn't get personal, but then again, it's sometimes fun even when it does. |

I feel like old father time.
There's been many changes (who remembers the old forums).
People come and people go, some fabulous arguments, some serious shit talked.
Some really serious interesting debates and some downright funny threads.
Something must keep us here, I like the funny and stupid but sometimes like to put an interesting thread up.
But for all the comings and goings and arguments everyone pulls together when needed. Can anyone remember when we held socials to raise money for a very special person? Think we raised over £3000 in total.
I for one won't forget the support I had when my dad died, the forums got me through those early days.
Not forgetting the good times, weddings and births and the couples that have got together and stayed together and the friendships formed.

I've been on swing forums for 10 years in a couple of weeks and fab for about 5 (on an old profile)
If you ignore the 'can't get a meet/shaved or not/biggest whatever/bareback/married/religion' threads, it can be pretty varied.
The same people seem to post as they feel comfortable in the forums and with each other, many have lots of history and long friendships so its like going to a pub with regulars in it.

7 or 8 years.
I liked it best some years ago. There seemed to be more banter and wittier - less precious folk about.
I still enjoy a look in every few days or so. Some 'good' folk around.
Might just be an age thing or im a tad jaded now Who knows.

Been using the forums on and off for about 4 years.
Sometimes I enjoy them and other times, not at all. When I'm not enjoying them, you won't find me hanging around here.
I have learnt to stick mostly to the fun and light hearted threads. Some of the serious ones, press my buttons too much. I'm here for light entertainment and perving. |
