. I mean, I'm not expecting him to start hanging around again or anything, but it would be nice if he at least said hi and let us know how he's been doing.

Hello!

Thanks for the invitation. They must have short memories because I was on that board (or the previous one by RandallFlagg) a couple of years ago and I left for a reason. I come to message boards for fun. I didn't find that board to be much fun. For one thing, that board has a finite number of posters. They talked for a while about about going public, but I guess it never worked out.

The decision to leave was very difficult and I agonized over it for weeks. There are a few posters who I've known for a long time and who I really like. I do miss them. But there are also some who I no longer care to be around on such a small board. The RFS board isn't as much fun as I would like, but there are plenty of other boards here to provide me with entertainment. And I still see some familiar names such as yourself. I now feel that we should never have left the RFS board. I would rather see a return of the former posters here. I think that was the original plan, although it apparently changed somewhere along the way.

I am curious as to why Gendo is barred from coming back here. I can't imagine him doing anything which would warrant that. The IMDb can't even bar Aye Lewis, and Gendo isn't a known troublemaker.

It's always a pleasure to hear from you.

And while i'm not leaving that is the reason i started reposting on IMDB more activity.

There are already too many people here. It should be restricted to people from Tennessee and Cornwall.

OpiateOfTheMasses wrote:I tend to think of this place a bit like a small pub tucked away in a quiet corner with the posters being the regulars. Some frequent the pub more often than others, but they're all regulars. So they get to know each other's habits and sense of humour, etc. And if anyone else were to join that it can be quite intimidating being the newbie - just like walking into a slightly strange, remote pub where everyone inside it obviously knows each other very well.

And the other board is like a low-rent dive of a club that lets anyone in. As such it's always busy, but most of the people there you'd want to avoid and you're generally keep one eye on your drink and you feel the need to keep checking your wallet. You also keep wandering why the floor is so sticky when you're walking on it. And don't get me started on the toilets... But there's anonymity in the crowd and you don't need to worry about being picked out for doing something wrong, because look at that guy over there - what an asshole he is! - so newbies feel less pressure too.

So whilst you're normally happy in you're local having a quiet one, occasionally you fancy a change. So you go to the dive for a bit. Then you come back.

[I think I've contorted this analogy as much as I can now, although if we changed the name to TittersPlace we could offer lap dances in our bar...]
