It's just me.

And there are barely any new cool people joining us nowadays.

I'm sorry for not being cool... wait a second, my body temperature is pretty cool if I think about it.

Awesome. We love normalizing disrespect .... not. Definitely an kink issue you need to work on.

Cope + seethe + mald.

Kinky.

Sailus is a princess. Everyone is a peasant in her highness’s presence.

A Soviet KGB Princess Polkovnik.

Please refer to SHF Lore S1 Ch13 for details.

Overall I'm okay. I'm not feeling down, nor am I in depression. I will say it's the opposite actually, I'm in a good mood recently. I feel somewhat melancholic only when I open SHF.

Aye. SHF from 2020 to mid-2023 is wild and fun.

But I think most of the new member get into the forum just to get feedback on their stories,and the response is also not so good,maybe that's why they just 'meh this community is not comfortable for me'
Actually the solution was simple,we just need to encourage them to keep writing,and give a few advice to make they wrote better.

Well, for most of the time old peeps have been busy with real life stuff, like me, so we can't be lurking here always. Some who give time and effort got 'burned' as well, coz some would take a mile once you give them an inch.

Also forum have lots of members, just that they are quiet. Prolly intimidated by the interactions they read, or discouraged by the 'welcome', or both. So numbers-wise, there's no issue. The problem is the 'quality of community interactions and experiences'.

Any case, aside from real life stuff, I've also minimized my time interacting with peeps here, since a lot of noisy new peeps (got no probs with talkative people, just to be clear) turned out to be annoying edgelords, or walking psycho landmines.

Gotta prioritize our well-being over community, after all.

SHF has been looking smaller than ever for the past month or so. Even before the most recent drama, peeps I like were leaving one by one. A couple are simply busy with their work, but a lot are distancing from the forums for multiple reasons. And there are barely any new cool people joining us nowadays. This forum won't die(probably), it's not the end, but I'll tell you something. I feel lonely whenever I open SHF lately.

Agreed…

 

[InviInvi]

I only ever open this to engage in mild tomfoolery with whoever's online or to rant about my unluckiness.

 

[Anon2024]

I'm sorry for not being cool... wait a second, my body temperature is pretty cool if I think about it.

So far you are cool.

 

[Hans.Trondheim]

So far you are cool.

And cold. She's a vampire.

 

[BouncyCactus]

I don't get the internet persona thing on SHF. It's odd.

It's escapism, and, well, this is a safe space for some of us to be a little...loose. It's ain't me thing either, outside of a few RP threads, but, eh, to each their own.

It is quite melancholy, I agree. It is like looking at your group of friends that slowly drifted away, because everyone is on their own path, their own future, their own success, their own troubles to worry about now. I'm happy for those folks, tho.

There are a lot of new people, but the issue is.. none of them are being welcomed lol. Their writings aren't even being looked at, and SH basically only support smut stories (those things get popular quickly). You gotta greet everyone, or else there's just going to be dead accounts everywhere.

I was a new member once. People are just as welcoming now as they were back then. The thing is, you can't expect others to act towards you after seeing you post 10-50-100 messages like they act with those who they have already exchanged 500 with.

People here have seen others come and go, exactly what this thread mentions. To know someone better you need to get them know you and you learn about them. That takes time.

If you keep interacting with with people here, everyone will slowly learn what type of people you are and vice versa.

Nobody can expect that just because they hop into a place, everyone will waiting for them on their knees as if they knew a new Royal McDuble has come.

I wonder why people leave. You're a smut enjoyer, I get it.

Pretty low to return hatred when someone tries to be nice to you. Nice job, now we know why you're sad every time you open SHF.

??? Are you okay? I read through this thread and my dude, you are coming off as someone really entitled.

You can be of course, it's your freedom to do so.

Awesome. We love normalizing disrespect .... not. Definitely an kink issue you need to work on.

Disrespect? Where? Someone disagreeing with you is not disrespectful. Someone asking you to provide facts for your accusation, where is the disrespect there? Honest question.

Try to take a step back, and look at it objectively. You are a relatively fresh forum poster. You come in with a claim. It is already a claim that in the past had been put under scrutiny and something that was a known meme even before I joined the forums.

That is why others want to see if you are parroting something you saw being thrown about, or is an established fact that you can prove. It is not disrespectful.

Although, I will be disrespectful now, because after just this one thread my first opinion about you is that you are way more entitled than you realize and for sure I wouldn't put any effort to welcome you here on my part because it is just a waste of time if I know we would never mesh anyway.

Does this mean you should be thrown off the forums? Nah. There are many people here, you can fit in fine and find peeps to interact with and be part of the community.

People here welcome others and will help out but it is the user’s task to be active and become part of the community not ours to lasso and channel new users in. But don't expect even that when your attitude comes in between it.

 

[ManwX]

I know. I hope you are healthy and doing well.

Thanks for asking. im doing fine

I know of it being a joke, but of course I do pity non-well known and well-written stories being less popular than smut.
(I despise smut)

I called 'em a "king" despite both our replies already conflicting, and they called me "peasant"

If you want to gaslit me that calling him king wasn't the same type of insult as being called peasant, then just stop now. You yourself said you don't get forum title shenanigans and inside jokes. Which is understandable because you are new, I guess.

 

[NotaNuffian]

I have this site in my bookmark and oddly Novelupdates still as my homepage.

I have no life and I probably will still be here.

Until the new porn work comes out elsewhere I guess.

-------------- and the posts merged, godammit ------------

Oh yeah.

Was going for the joke of "I have no mouth" and got stuck thinking of alternatives for cum/ ejaculate.

Here you go, 40 mins later as my dementia brain clicking.

"I have no life and I must jizz."

Got to keep my hand busy and doctors do agree on working that prostate after 26.

Bruh. You think I'm a toddler or something? Or did you forget my intial reply? It was to tell you mixed up sites and call you a dude, how very hateful. Definetely on the same level as coming here, not understanding the reason behind the thread, telling no one welcomes newbies and a harmful joke.

 

[BouncyCactus]

Motherf-

Thought that was my reflection for a sec...Maybe I should not be browsing the forum the moment I woke up...

 

[Prince_Azmiran_Myrian]

Not even princess can escape the drama.
It all comes seeking him out.

I have been mesmerized by the profile posts section, but I'll try to visit this side more often.

I'm sorry for not replying with something original. I will copy my reply from this thread.

I am not accusing anyone or asking people to be more active. I wanted to let my emotions out, that's it.
