That's too bad. When the posting pool consists of the same people and no new people to add some interest, things get stagnate. And mean. Boards I have been a member of have gone that route. Or die because everyone leaves except a few diehards. I guess it depends on the owner of the board and whether there is an interest in building it or not caring and letting it go downhill.
I repeat, that is a shame. I like populated message boards but don't much care for the hatred exhibited more than the lightweight conversations. So I will be up front and say I do not know if I will stay. I will give it some more time but if this thread is what the board is about, I probably won't.

Welcome. We don't have many women here, so I'll tell you about the men. If you like smart, sexy, rich men boy have you come to the right place!

I believe our shortest male poster is 6 feet...most are 6'1 and 6'2. None of them work for anyone, they are all their own bosses and fabulously successful. Most of them play the stock market in their downtime and are making money hand over fist there! Not that they need more money. In fact there is a thread now entitled "going short, all in", where we have some of our movie-star handsome gentlemen trying to decide who made more on the market today.

And built? All very svelte and very well built (especially where it matters most).

They all have fabulously gorgeous, sexy, and brilliant wives who adore them...except for the ones who haven't wanted to tie themselves down to just one fabulously beautiful woman and date several smart and witty beauties a week!

You'd think that'd be enough. But no. They are all also absolutely expert in absolutely every field and subject you can think of! They even know more than nationally recognized professionals who are highly prominent in their own field. The JPP fella eschews becoming prominent in one field - each is an expert in all fields!

In other words, when you found JPP, you hit the jackpot. Have fun!

We're not for the faint of heart. A lot of us (such as myself) have known each other for over a decade. This board itself is over 7 ears old now, and more active than it has ever been. Give it a month and let the drama shake out.

There's plenty of chit-chat here. Often weeks go by and I have posted nothing but chit-chat. Other times, not so much. Message board are a lot like Islands, if you didn't bring it, you won't find it. And I don't mean you get what you give when I say that. I mean, you can pretty much find whatever you want here.

Hey, she sort of does! But she originally only had a white stripe down the left side of her nose. Grey hairs started coming in in her final year, so it makes her look like she has them on both sides.

Mine's a rescue dog of 12 years ago. I got her when she was 14 months old. The only dog in the mix that they had to keep in a crate because she'd jump out of the open pen. I bent down to see who was in there and our eyes met...

She's a mix of at least 7 terriers, weimaraner and shih tzu. The ST is only 3% or so, and I'm sure that's why she clings to me like wet paper during a thunderstorm. The other half, they have no idea.

And they have private conversations only they understand, using special names for one another. If I hadn't met English public-schoolboys as a student I'd give up, 'deed I would - and I got by then by planning to beat those to death, slowly! :)
