As we know, the fun social interaction posts are at this point definitely a staple of the fab forums. Not everyone takes part in them. Some are active. Some are lurkers.
To those that do take part, are you active in sending a pm etc, or do you just say you are in but sit and wait expecting others to send you a message?
Generally I will be active and will send messages. Now and again though I will say I'm in but end up not bothering to follow up on it. |

"It depends on who is in really. Sometimes yes and sometimes no...."
that's what I mean though. And hindsight should have said.
Do you keep returning to see who else is in, or just say in and then never check up on it. |

I do go back to check but sometimes it seems to be exactly the same people so then I cba... with face pic fridays I responded to each one I got actually as it seemed rude not to. |

I tend to keep my interactions in the open if its thread related.
I'd hope anyone who liked me would read my profile, then be brave enough to send a PM regardless of any thread going on.
I'm one of those who tends to avoid the PM me if you think I'm hot posts. |

I always join in.
Nearly all of my meets have been as a result of forum interaction, the games are a light hearted way to break the ice and strike up conversation. |

Im generally very active and don't like being passive. I find that a lot of people are passive though. Obviously that's their prerogative but I believe that the more people are proactive, the more positive connections that they'll make. |

Indeed. That's why I enjoy them. I do always wonder though to what extent each "player" is involved. |

Indeed, not to shame them for doing so. Just as you say it's about interactions and the more passive you are, the less interactions (and more) can be made. |

Rarely do we send these days as we're not meeting people at the mo'.
However, if we felt that we and the other party had something that was mutually inclusive we'd send a message.
Worked / works for us. |

I try to join in but most people on the threads live miles away and are too far to meet for a coffee/social so I don't message, even if I fancy them. I'm selective with my face pic and a little shy letting guys know I want to get to know them. |

I'd say they are, they keep things pretty much friendly and get people talking without it devolving in to chaos. And insults.
The fuck, kiss, avoid one's are different from face pic Friday etc. Though whichever it is, the number of friendships or something more that's has come from them is pretty high. Other threads, like this for example won't give that push to increase the intimacy or connection.
With that said all threads have potential to spark something between 2 (or more) people. |

That is understandable, but I think in the concept of those types of threads can be a good "excuse" to push that shyness away. Almost like a cover.
You never know what may come from just a simple interaction. |

I rarely join in on those sorts of threads, the times I do I'm active and message people first - I'm joining in to interact with others and I see little to no point waiting around for someone to message me. |

"I like to send messages.
Sometimes trying to be funny.
Sometimes being complimentary
Other times just trying to be helpful. "
 that's what it is ultimately all about in my opinion. Not about seeing who will fuck you, but just being part of the community with nice little reasons to break the ice without things turning nasty or heated debates. |

The whole site seems like that. Everyone waiting for someone else to make the first move.  |

"If I'm in then I'm in and will start by firing off a couple of PMs and hope it strikes a conversation.
Lurking doesn't yield much interaction for me. "
That suprises me  |

I have been guilty of saying I'm in and then forgetting, but usually I'm fairly forward with the messaging. I always try return a face or compliment if someone else goes first too, it's only fair. I'm not generally looking to meet off the back of forum threads though, it's just a bit of fun and socialising. |
