I don't understand. You mean if it was created for the forums or connecting singles?

I understand what you are saying. More people would be here if it was not a dating site and more people would be falling in love.

All true actually!!!

If more of the members were active in the forums, it would allow for an expanded feel for the personalities... so yes, quite possibly it would help more people to connect.
It is, however a less personal way of doing the connecting so it has it's downside as well.

Never that many people on here at one time...even in the forums....

I disagree.

I've been here for almost two years and still think it would be a good idea.

Yeah not sure what you mean exactly. I'm not thinking it's really going to matter so much how a site is set up. People are just stuck up and I don't even know why they get profiles on things like this except probably to bolster their pride..or on some sites..obviously there are lots of fake profiles designed to make it look like there are a lot of nice looking people and to waste the time of the sincere people who happen along.... I've written several people in my area. None of them even write back. The only people who have written me are older people I'm not particularly attracted to...I mean..crumbola..I'm a 46 year old virgin who still like..plays basketball and football and stuff. Kind of looking for ..well..I don't want to date my grandmother...!

Yeah I'm a rare case. So I'm looking for another rare case. Someone who has held out for the right person. Instead of some person who just married the first clown who came along and manipulated the 'right' way.

I just go to the lord and figure he can bring the person to me..I'll never find her. I pretty much just witness to people on these sites and try to encourage those who actually communicate. I haven't seen any activity on this site for a long time. Mostly just talk to people on myspace since it's where most ministry opportunities seem to be these days for me net wise. -Bob

Most people arn't articulate or engageing enough to participate on a forum.

I've said this to many people as advice. Blog as much as possible and post in the forums as much as possible. Don't go over board just to hear yourself talk, but definatly express yourself.

I personaly find a woman who can complete entire thoughts to be very attractive.

The harsh reality, though, is that if it were JUST a forum this site would not surrvive. We would get flamed within days of that format switch and you'd see nothing but little kids running around starting trouble. When it is setup like this we can all approach it as adults, and thats how it should be.

maybe it would survive, maybe only the ones that really like communication would stick on the forums!Maybe it would be more challenging that way.If you didn't have much to say, you'd stay aside.confused

Think about what bores you here, from time to time...

You also have to consider the rules of the internet. I've watched this grow since the late 80s (I was a lucky lucky guy to get in on it as a kid) and it's a tricky thing.

I say give it a try.
go to and start one up. It's free and secure (I could even host one for you).

The idea of a forum is to get like minded people together to share dieas and thoughts. So it might work.

I think the forums are an important part of connecting people on this site...

I was on this site before there were ever forums and I found it more difficult to connect with people...then again there were alot less people to choose from too. I got invited to the forum one day and it stuck.

I pretty much gave up on this site for finding love because everyone I was interested in was too far away to make it practical for me. I had some luck on a local dating site and dated a very nice guy who is still my friend and then we decided to just be friends.

Then one day I came into the forum and met someone and I never would of thunk it but it turned into a really great relationship. We have been together for a year and a half and love each other very much.

If it were not for getting to know him in the forum first we probably would of never connected so I do think the forum is a good thing.

From sharing ideas we can get to know eachother and connect. Relationships are all about companionship.
Bodies do get oldroll eyes

Maybe it depends on what someone is looking for. Some don't need the match to open her/his mouth.

Serious threads are good to see what kind of person we are dealing with.Some just get lost and can even end up throwing bad words, then you know.

As one said, it's easy to promote ourselves, wether in profiles or in the joke threads. Better to see a lot of both, than to believe the guy is cool just because he is constantly...showing the peace emoticon!

laugh

Anyway, just trying to say that you won't be a 1/4 of the road if you fall in love with a scammer that shows some emoticons and then...
