Guideline 38: Longevity.
Why do people come to the literotica board? Why do a smaller number register and, of the registered people, an even smaller number lasts the distance to achieve at least 100 posts?
Yes, the board does not openly welcome people and some new posters find that a little daunting but, on the other hand, the board studiously ignores new posters so it is relatively easy to find a niche, particularly on forums other than the GB.
I’m sure there are many reasons why people stay, just as there are equally a number of reasons why newly registered people leave. (I’m not referring to the number of alts registered by existing posters so they can run around venting and screaming under another personality for a few days.)
Why people stay: fun, cyber sex, friendship, cyber sex, flirting, cyber sex, intelligent conversations, cyber sex, political discussion, cyber sex, humour, cyber sex!
The reasons why people leave are a little more difficult to pin down. Perhaps it’s shyness, boredom or disgust. Perhaps they take one look at us and simply say no thanks! That's out of our control and, anyway, why should we care what other people think, right? Isn't that the Lit catch-cry?
But we could help new people stay and act a little more like a real community.
Would it be so terrible for established posters to be courteous and just a little welcoming?
Quote from Guideline #3: Insulting someone does not make you witty and glamorous. It makes you rude.

Guideline 39: The Cool Thing.
Fashions come and go at lightning speed on the GB. Don’t even try to keep up, it’s not cool.
Wait a minute, maybe it is cool now? No, it's not...is it?

Guideline 40: Couples
Ah, the scent of sugary love and sex hangs over the board like a violet mushroom cloud. PM’s full of longing endearments whiz around the board and cyber copulation occurs in ways that Bill Gates never dreamed off when he launched Microsoft! Soft is not a word that is used on the board, Bill, unless it’s soft core!
Couples come together (I apologise immediately for the poor double entendre), and stay together from anywhere from fifteen sweaty minutes to years! There is a history of couples moving off the board and walking hand in hand in real life so anything, and I mean anything is possible!

*big bear hug*
I have a motto when I get in the dumper - small victories. Win a few of those and suddenly your outlook will change.
How the hell is the world going to keep someone like you down

Sin, I am starting to hate school
Do you know how bad that is? I love school. I am a SuperNerd - I have no fear of school! But I cut two classes today which I really shouldn't have, since it was a compulsory subject with attendance requirements.
But it's just so...incredibly boring. I hate it. And there's too much damn reading! About really boring stuff! It's just yuck.
That is bad. Even when everything else is crap, school has always been my last refuge. I lock myself in the library and think happy thoughts about philosophy.
I've hit rock bottom, and I think I'm starting to dig.

Sweetie, you are preaching to the converted - I went through three years of that crap. The good news is the reading will slow down. Also, stop looking at it as reading and start looking at it as "analyzing" and I know you will have the better of it.
Are you sure you are bored and not a little scared? I am just asking.

Not scared of failing. Scared because it is new. Scared because what if I made the wrong choice. Maybe not. Just a question.
Well, I say you give it some time and if you continue to hate it then cut bait and try something else. But give it a fair try.
Myself, I am seriously thinking of chucking my law practice.
