USThumper: From what I've seen, most of the state forums never amounted to much. Most of the people here in the states come here to the international forum. Maybe if they had one for the whole US it would get more use.

That would be a good suggestion, wouldn't it?

tennesseejudy: I guess before forums in 2005 people just wrote to each other?


rolling on the floor laughing

And in some ways that was so much better! I still prefer to go out with friends, read and write private emails, and make telephone calls than log onto CS.

As for the ghost pics you mentioned you had seen way back in the earlier years, that speaks volumes in itself no?

I've been here since Feb 2007. As for finding love on here? I've had some false starts which went belly up for varying reasons but I'm making very good friends with someone who shall remain nameless because I don't want to suffer the CS curse.

I wrote to CS about a month ago suggesting they make a USA thread because all the state threads are dead but I have gotten no response from them. Either they didn't like the idea or maybe they are already working on it but it would be a big improvement. They could even break up the US into maybe 6 divisions ie NE, SW, SE etc.

Jan1305: 2006 for me, but Ive had long long breaks in between.

I do still miss some of the members way back then, and somehow the forum banter was generally more interesting and intelligent. Of course there were arguments, that goes without saying with such a diverse number of people scrabbling about on forums.

Most people yearn for the "old days" though don´t they.


Murcia lovely city
Lorque is also great
you are lucky

That would be good. So CS has a ghost and a curse too?

But isn´t an International Forum better than just a USA Forum? From a cultural point of view I mean. It´s surely a good thing to communicate with, and learn about other cultures and nationalities. Sometimes Americans are too insular, and the fact that only 10 percent hold passports supports that I believe.

In actual fact, the posters here overwhelmingly outnumber posters from other countries anyway, so I don´t see why you are complaining to be honest.

Even breaking it down into US States is divisive in my opinion.

PeachesandRay: I came in sometime around June or July 2005. There was only what we now call the International Forums, no forums for each state or country.
I was here for about 10 months before meeting Shelia in the forums. In a way I credit Lionhearted for giving us a push together

Now and then I see someone from way back then. People who have been here longer than I.

Solitaire, Tumpa, Rilly and a few I don't remember the names to

Earl


10 months was not long. I remember seeing Tumpa, bet he could tell some of the stories.

That's because other countries have their own forums so most people from these countries don't go international.

I stopped into a "Goodwill" store on my way home today and saw a VHS movie called "Hope Floats" I thought about buying it but it looked like a chic movie so I decided not to.

Nope. I have two teens and making a move was not an option. But Slim was able to and did move to TN from Michigan.

LOL Tom. Yes, it's definitely a chic flick. The sad part is the name of the movie is the best part of it. I found the movie itself to be rather depressing!laugh uh oh

laugh No it doesn´t, that´s an old wives tale.

Declaring a relationship on CS has no bearing whatsoever on whether it fails in the future. That is solely down to the two people involved, and how they get to know each other as time passes.

Most people here declare the fact they have met a significant other, as occurs in real life. Later, with more knowledge of each other, things may not work out for a variety of reasons, again as occurs in the real world.

No great mystery.
