Has the Scottish forums died

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Im sorry if I speak out of turn, but it really seems as if we are died. They're seems to be no life about the place, quite happy to take whatever anyone has to say.

This is basically what I've been saying in chat.

People can't get out and do different or exciting things, so there's nothing new or interesting to talk about.

Maybe Mrs Doggy a tiny wee bit, but the main losses, in my opinion, are Sn00py, with his wit and wisdom, and good old Auntie Vax herself, Sexmadwifey, with her succinct medical advice and ability to bring out the best in everyone's favourite pantomime villain.

I think the forums go through phases of being busy or being quiet, being entertaining or being grumpy.

I don't believe the Scottish forum has ever been a very welcoming and friendly place. In particular for new people or anyone who may dare to have a different point of view from others.

Maybe there is a bit of fab fatigue too or maybe people are bored of looking at screens.

Because that would take effort , lots of people don't want to put in the effort which then has a domino effect. Result, fab gets boring , forums get tiresome, moods go down and the well, here we are.

As outsiders who don’t use the Scottish forum looking in, we think the main issue with the Scottish forum, and likely the same with other regional forums, is that’s its very insular and clique and not very welcoming to strangers of the group. This is by no means a criticism more an observation

I don't post much in here but when I do a couple of things bug me. More often than not some smartarse hijacks the thread and changes topic. A recent thread about escorts suddenly turned into a thread about cars. This thread is another example as it seemed to turn into a song association thread. Also when posting on here I seem to get so many messages about the post when the point of the forum is to have discussion in the thread.

I think there’s a few factors that impact the quality of the forum and most have been mentioned above. For me the bit that sends me off to other forums is the political rants that are more prevalent now due to COVID. I appreciate that everyone is entitled to their political opinion but I don’t come on here for politics I come on for a laugh and some good banter which the political topics are severely lacking. I chose not to read them now but when you come in to the Scotland forum and the top topics are majority political, I go elsewhere.

I know this is my choice too.

Well rounded answer and well said. As I've been saying for some time, I'm sure that's why the politcal forum was created because it was being carried over into other threads and people found it off putting. Threads going off at tangents can be fun and interesting but politics, religion and football are the three things people can rarely discuss amicably

I'd agree in principle but the reality is the "banter" is rarely there. It generally descends into bickering and often real aggression. My point is that the site made a seperate forum because many other users found it off putting on the main forum. Personally if you can communicate like an adult, not resort to name calling and present a reasoned argument, I'm all ears on most topics (preferably with a dash of humour)

I'd say banter isn't everything and a fiery debate can be fun for some folk. I agree name calling other users is not a great thing but it's part and parcel of life which should reflect through a forum. By the same maxim not everyone is sweetness and light all the time no matter what they claim

It’s quite difficult in the written word of a forum though to accurately get a read on whether someone is having a bit of fun or they’re being argumentative or anything else. Thankfully we’ve now got emoji’s to help

I know things are tough for everyone but if we don’t all at least try to keep each other’s spirits up then... that’s kinda sad I think. Even if there’s not much going on, it’s important to be positive, even if is a bit Groundhog Day. It won’t always be like this and there’s a lot of hope out there

Sorry to address the elephant in the room but some of the "regulars" haven't so much gone AWOL as been hounded out by the passive aggressive bullying tactics of some other posters. That's VERY sad.

I left the site for a while due to this and tag team bullying at one point. I now keep my swinging circle very private and don’t really participate here any more. I would do my own searching if meeting though wouldn’t meet under the covid restrictions No, it’s not the same site anymore.

Just my perception...there used to be more humour and interaction. It's always been a difficult place to break into but I wouldn't have said it was so hostile and unwelcoming as it is now. I don't remember the same level of "ganging up". I will admit though that certain individuals have always used it to discredit others. I've been on the receiving end myself many times in the past but it's only a forum on a swinging site so not worth getting in a fankle over. I do remember great fun times however.

As previously said by many there’s a confrontational element that gets wearying. Many no longer post because they feel intimidated or just plain put off by bickering. That’s not to say lively debate isn’t welcome, it is and should be both enlightening and informative, fun even. However when it descends into name calling and often passive aggressive bullying then a lot of people feel they either intimidated or just can’t be bothered with the angst. Most of us come here to enjoy relaxing and fun interaction. There, I’ve got that off my chest... and it’s a BIG chest

Ohhhh almost forgot .... only MY opinion of course (others are available)

"I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that most posts end up in a political bitch fest!

I don't mind a healthy debate about things but when there are half a dozen threads that have all gone the same direction then you tend to stop bothering to look at them.

Just my opinion though

Nope I agree Cede

You better watch kola , rookie will be along in a minute telling you if something on a swinger site is annoying you then its you that has a problem.

Ps would love to know who the smiling assassins are that you speak of.

It's like using sayings like institutional racism.

You can't fight against

Ghosts, show me examples of racism and I will stand beside you and fight it, tell us who these mythical smiling assassins are and I will stand beside you to call them out.

How can you stand against a ghost , how do we overcome smiling assassins when they only exist in opinions and your imaginations.

My dear Zest, you know very well the site does not allow naming and shaming lol and for good reason.

To get away from the comment he plays the name and shame card. Just my opinion but openly shouting about backstabbing and mythical smiling assassins is just as bad as name and shame.

How do you know this kola , rumour , pm , are you part of the crowd ? Not accusing you of anything bud but curious as to how you came by this revelation about the site.

your choice to believe it or not I don't need to justify anything to you I own my words

But your not really owning your words are you. You make a very derogatory comment about some users on the forums then when asked how you know this you say you don't need to justify your comments. Not really owning your words but that's just my opinion. Will leave it there , don't want to sound argumentative.

"Do we think it can be saved though....?

If a high percentage of new people were to start using the forums then in my opinion yes, otherwise no!

Some people remember the past through rose tinted glasses, there has ALWAYS been individuals who have used the forums to belittle others, to deliberately cause offence, to cause trouble to others and to be downright confrontational. But there were way more users in years gone by so there were more varied posts and a lot more laughter!

Now I rarely post for a number of reasons, I can read the title of a post and by whom it is written and almost certainly know who will respond and what that response will be.

Then there are the self proclaimed nice guys of the forums who claim to always be gentlemen and act so hard done by when nobody wants to meet them (I have a single profile and the messages I have had when I have said no thanks to them have been off the scale).

The fact once you have had a permanent ban from the forums for clearly overstepping the mark on so many occasions yet you are able to come back under a different guise and continue to deliberately provoke people on what is supposed to be an adult site is beyond belief.

Then there are the posts in which people interact well and a healthy debate is taking place and someone posts absolute nonsense and then their buddy responds with equal drivel and before you know it the posts is taken over with a few folk having a conversation about something as stupid as what cake they prefer! These as always are only my opinions.
