Where is

I've always deeply appreciated his contributions and commentaries in the erotic art with a twist and black and white threads.
 
I miss him and some of the others too.

I miss the emoticon AA used sometimes, you know the one that moved its shades down.

Sunfox was back for a while I think.

Luna and Trinique, black nite rose, dusty wolf to mention just a few have not been here for ages.

The sweetdommes, ghosst and pure are also awol

Did I read somewhere that Sinnocent and IYM had also decided to disappear?

:(

Sinnocent1 and InYourMind left because of the attitude some people displayed here. I miss both of them. :(

I really miss some of them too.... I know some of them have gone to other sites.

Yes, they did. IYM got sick of the fluff, and quite frankly Marquis. :rolleyes:
 
AA is kind of scary.

Which, of course, means I absolutely loved reading his stuff. I miss him too. I miss IYM and Sinn, too. And I haven't even been around here all that long. :/

ghosst was on last night, and SweetDommes were on her recently too I think...it's hard to be sure with all the old threads.
But I'm sure about ghosst.

Cause of the fluff or cause of Marquis?


Frankly, the fluff never bothered me. I am all for fluff and having fun. I like having fun and have done my share of flirting and hi-jacking threads.

It just seemed to me that there were way too many people here that were not of age. I felt the forums had just turned into a playground for underaged children. Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against younger people. In fact, Quint is someone that I admire for her talent, intelligence and her insite more than most other adults.

I have been around longer than almost anyone still here. There is a reason why people have left. If you care, you have to ask yourself why is that happening. Even alot of the regular posting new people have come and gone in the last year.

You cannot blame one person for this happening. It is not Marquis' fault. It is how he is. There were however alot of the poster who had been here for a long time that were passed for the Mod position. This did not sit well with many who had been here for a long time.

Rules were broken without consequences, complaints fell on deaf ears and people left. It is as simple as that.

May I ask what rules?
 
Perhaps broken is the wrong word... may circumvented would sit better.

I am not trying to start any shit here... Gracie asked me a question and I simply replied to that. Certainly, I am not the only one to watch the mass exodus from the BDSM forums.
 
we've gotten far off topic -- where's AA?

When I'm not here it's because I have nothing to say to what's being said or because the whole world wants a session, or I'm getting laid a lot. :)

I hope nobody infers anything else if I'm not around.

No, I have noticed the exodus as well and if I am in any part the reason for that I am deeply regretful. I'd like to think that my net effect on the forum has been positive and I've had many pms to support that idea. Of course, I'm sure there have been just as many private messages I'm not privy to saying the opposite, probably some by the same people.

Oh well, my intention as moderator was never to lead, but to serve, and if the forum is unhappy with my service than I am happy to be released. I will be starting a poll on this, but before I get into that there is something I want to say.

It has never failed to amaze me the cowardice and insecurity of those who choose to attack my maturity. In this very thread I was called out by name in a negative light several times and when I ask, politely, what the issue is, I cannot get a straight answer.

You quoted my name as "Exactly why I am rarely seen in these parts myself" then backed off from that statement with every request for clarification.

To say that I haven't made any contributions of value to this forum is something I see as unfair no matter how I look at it. I've shared much of my life in D/s and otherwise on this forum and have started as many topics on BDSM philosophies, play practices and relationship issues as I have on cathartic exhortations. Of course, it's a subjective questions and I don't presume to know what any of you may find valuable.

Yes it's true that I do enjoy the ocassional fluff thread as much as anyone else, but I start my own fluff threads and do not hijack the serious threads of others. Unlike others, who actually come into my fluff threads and pick fights with me. While I truly regret the loss of Sinnocent, any distasteful disagreements I had with her Master were entirely initiated by him.

In fact, while I have no fear of drawing the flame sword should I feel it begged for, I have always sought to take the higher ground and walked away from countless insults and lies. Never the least controversial character, upon becoming moderator I became the immediate target of ribbing from every angle and even some true blue paranoid delusions of persecution.

Oh yeah, and there was a little incident where I went up against an entire forum called the GB, had a thread removed without my knowledge and lost support from almost everyone who wished me the best as moderator. I did not cry or whine, complain or sulk. I got my thread rightfully restored after showing evidence that no one believed existed and the only time I ever mentioned it since then was when I took the fight onto the GB to defend the BDSM forum against things said about us on our own grounds.

Yet still, I am hounded for being a 23 year old Dominant, as if I should somehow feel guilty for this or be ashamed of my youth or the nature of my personality.

And while those more "mature" have left in pouty huffs over events inconsequential compared to what I have been through, I have held my ground.

And although I've felt the effects of the exodus of fine posters just like everyone else, I will continue to hold my ground.

Moderator or not, this is my home and I am here to stay.

So be nice.
