Of course I will have contradictions! I'm a Rock Goddess.
I was the third person to sign up here. Why? Cause I like discussions & online communities. Not everyone is into them.
I was simply thinking out loud with my first posting in this thread, then when I thought about it more I realised that I was actually turned off by sites that begged me to join. I have been begged three times to join bbs and each time the bbs turned out not to be worth participating in.
By and by people are checking out this site. Lamma only has a small population and an even smaller ex- population, what's the rush? By mentioning the site in conversation, I know tons of people here who have checked it out and plenty more that know about it but don't have the time or inclination to check it out.
I have also been a member of sites where hundreds of people posts. What happens then? Well people tend to start their own boards and create conflict. Interesting in a study of human behaviour!!!
I wont be taking part in getting more members to win a prize. Of course I will continue to tell people about the site cause I think there's a lot of amusing posts here.
I don't mean to be disrespectful Lamma-gung - you are a wonderful person. I'm merely stating 'my point of view'.
