Hi dadaist:
Just wanted to add a few words to those already said so eloquently by the others........I first registered here in July last year, and didn't post a thing for weeks! I was (what Sharniqua calls) a lurker I guess. I'm the opposite to you, in that I don't go into chat hardly at all...... I'm a bit shy (Yes, even online... surprising you might think, given my job!!) plus I often can't think of anything to say except "Hi"; but I LOVE the boards, especially the Games!!
What a difference now though...... you can see from the number of posts! But I have to be fair and say over 1000 of these have been since Xmas.. when I introduced my lady to this site.. and she has over 400.........
What I'm TRYING to say (badly!) is what Lixy and Jenna & the rest said... jump in and get your feet wet - head first!! That's what I/we did; we posted some fairly explicit pix a week or two ago.. and it was great fun!!
Starting to jabber now (more than usual) so I'll just GTF... C ya around the boards, I hope!!
DM

The sadist thing about Bulletin boards is that they are open to everyone, of course from an marketing standpoint that's great, but the days of the BBS (Dial up) were much better. The advertisement would be done through word of mouth, and those on the site would form a better and much stronger relationship. And the people on the board would always be within 100 km of each other (of course with a few phone phreaking exceptions) BUt the downside would be, we wouldn't meet all these great people from around the world. IT might night be great not getting noticed or having a post or or reply ignored (which is happening to of mine, about 50%, RE: Lurkers, my Story: A Little Bit Different) I didn't get any feedback, but then other things, i got feedback from someone who happen to be online at the same time within 5 min. So it's all the luck of the draw, it has nothing to do with too many people, favourites, or newcomers..just keep going and see what happens..

I actually became a member 6 months after you did. The first time I came to this site i was following a yahoo link to erotic stories, This was in early 2000, i spent the next year reading stories and reviewing the posts just being a 'lurker.' (Main reason i came aboard was due to the site change, YES that happened once upon a time) I registered because i realized that it would be worth my time to contribute to Pixies Place and I am happy that I did, there are a lot of informative, intelligent, and caring people, and i can't stress the word PEOPLE enough. I can't remember who it was but with all the additions we have had to pixies place we have also had our losses and i could tell the community was affected by it. That's how you know you've come to the right place.

dadaist, just take your time and enjoy. If Pixies is about anything, it's about being relaxed and comfortable reading and sharing with others.
As far as sharing pictures ... can you imagine me, a 59-year old male. The first few times were really tough. In a lot of places, I think I might have been met with laughter or snide comments and the first time, I actually wondered if that wouldn't be the case here ... but it wasn't. Here, people were nice. They made me feel pretty good about myself, something I really appreciated.
It's almost a surprise to me sometimes how close I've come to feel with so many Pixies! Never met any in person (to the best of my knowledge), but feel like they're dear friends. When I've needed support, they've been there. When I needed a laugh, they provided one. It's a surprisingly refreshing place with a whole lot of really wonderful people ... plus, of course, this one old man.  |

Da, I'm confuzzled about this thread... sorry but at first it seemed you were upet no one replied to your threads, I see quite a few reponses to this one ey. Then it seemed you were afraid to join in the chat room, I've been there & you've managed just fine, but you can always just sit back & listen. Then I got the feeling you were lamenting the fact you wanted to chat with some one but had no chat offers, your right I'm 'not avalible' but we had some fun/interesting chats, I thought. And I thought we were friends, but you need to be honest with your friends and not try to be someone you aren't -- J'D...

guess I am in a similar situation dadaist, chatting from time to time, reading mostly and ogling at the wonderful posts that everyone at pixies upload. Like you, I havn''t ventured into the domain of posting any images of myself, guess like you, I feel a little tense about it, but I have managed to share my words with other and have received encouraging comments or replies. Time is something that has a way of giving comfort and in time I have managed to overcome many of my own inhibitions. I guess you will find your own time to expand, explore and share what you feel is important and imtimate with others. However, I can say that this is by far the most friendly and encouraging forum I have visited, and do so at every opportunity. Stay with it, it does get better (that inner fear) with time. |

dadaist, Pixies is to a large degree about comfort zones
and the more you relax into the forum, the easier it becomes.
I have as yet to post because the bastards at NASA won't
re-configure the Hubble Telescope to get a picture past my gut,
but eventually I'll wear them down.
Go where you are happy within the Forum and just enjoy.
No law says you have to post pics or be an aggressive poster.
It's just for fun.

*sigh*
I knew eventually someone would just accuse me of whining.
Forum moderators, can we have this thread removed please?
