Heydays

CS was once a vibrant site offering the possibilities of finding romance among the copious volume of regularly active members. These days, the number of people online at any one time barely fills one page.

Has CS’s heyday come and gone?

Different people see different heydays.

The same way as nearly everybody from this side of the world remember their schoolday summer holidays as being long and sun-filled.
But they all had their holidays at different times, and not all summers here were long and sunny, it is simply rose-tinted glasses.

Everything ebbs and flows. We just remember the times that were good for us as being the best times. I remember my first year of CS as being like that. I couldn't wait to get home to get into the Chatroom. It was so much fun.

But I'm sure there are lots of people now who are flirting and dating too, and they will remember this period as being their CS heyday.
Its the blogs that keep most of us here....i mean...look at the Swiss selection....laugh ...
Anyway...not looking......uh oh
calypso laugh laugh your one in a millionhug

Yes sol cs blogs is friendly uh oh most of the time and people do meet up, but romance now there is this story mmmmconfused about a needle laugh laugh

You still have time sol, but reckon go to see who is on line and there seem to be loads of people but maybe not us regulars if you get me cheering cheering
Molly..

Perhaps we are in the flow... Looking forward to another ebb.
Cal...

I wouldnt say the state of the blogs is that good either. Have people run out of ideas to blog about?
Red...

Thats the point.. there are so few online these days
doh sorry so you have peeped, well there are usually men around and the dive bonb me with passion and distance no obect, age is a number doh chat up lines all the same no imagination methinksrolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Morning Sol, Morning all...just passing through, I was not around in the CS Heyday but I think a lot of people have gone. But the time differences do make things difficult.cheers
Morning map i have just looked who is on line and loads of ladies, but men are too young age does make a differentce. I should put that on my profile grin
i was on here years ago. the place got wild sometimes. there were a lot of characters and playfulness. on occasion, it's like that now. i think the fear of being banned or accused of being a troll has put the damper on things.
Hi Sol et al,
Just looked and there are 290 ladies online or within the last 1 hour.
As this is the 'quiet time', that doesn't seem too bad.
Guess it's similar numbers for men.

confused
Map...

I wonder whether those that have "gone" found someone or just gave up trying?
Free...

If you were here years ago, what made you leave and why have you returned?
Rob...

At this moment there are one and a half pages (about 70) of women online, in years gone past there would be at least 4 to 5 pages.
Sol, i got booted for being friends with another CSr. to be honest. i mainly wrote poems and blogs. people started reporting anyone on a whim. i'm back to post poems and blogs. i like the banter.
on the bright side, i did make friends and still stay in touch.
Sol, The few Ive spoken to have left because it takes up a lot of time when hooked on CS, Some are not bothered anymore either,I do know that a few ex bloggers and non bloggers/commenters do read the blogs if they have an interest to them. In my case I should be working not dilly dallying around here.
As a noob I cant say for sure but if you always keep looking back you only get a sore neck.
Pat...

Are you sure you replied to the correct blog, havent a clue what you're talking about
Map....

Fortunately, I can work and dally on CS at the same time. grin
Free....

I take it you got caught up in whatever your friend was involved in that got you booted. Usually people dont get banned just for being friends.
it's the past. it (here) got me through a difficult time. i'm back for the blogs.
Z...

A learning curve many people on CS have been through. We were all new at one time.
Molly, firstly if half a dozen pick pockets were waiting for you at the gate then you'd probably think twice about going out. It's not as though being on a dating site is important to life.

One of the reasons I rarely blog\comment these days is the constant bickering over every last detail of what I've said, as I said before I made a comment based on what I'd been told, on many occasions, it really didn't need to be picked at imo, like the people who I've mentioned deleted their profiles I don't need the hassle, there are more important things than having to defend something I know to be a fact.
That's fine Z
I was just curious

If you keep looking back you only get a ore neck... Its a metaphor for the pointlessness of constant retrospection. However, like hitting your head on a brick wall, it only feels any good when you stop doing it.
I don't understand why CS isn't doing brilliantly, but it could be that it simply doesn't advertise as much as the big sites, which never stop pouring bucks into advertising.

We should all be promoting it - but yeah, it's like having a bar like Cheers where everyone knows you and teases you and pokes fun at you and some of the regulars are pretty embarrassing. You're going to take an outsider there? uh oh

But we should. laugh
yeah: dunno
No. The best days are still ahead.

The sun must set in-order to rise.
Conrad has been here a long timeconversing He now has the
same aura as the grandfather in " Heidi "laugh thumbs up
Only guy, I wouldn't know. I've never been part of the in crowd or a hey day (a hippie term? lol)

But if you feel things are getting a little slow, feel free to liven things up! grin
Sola, then it must have been the global recession.laugh Have faith. If Brexit doesn't create much of an online boom here, there will be another Messiah like Bernard Madoff.doh
Absolutely correct and now its just war.
