Honestly, I don't get a lot of info here, I have gotten a little support from a couple people, they know who they are, but mostly I am here because I like the forum dynamic and I haven't come across another one that I like, not that I'm really looking though. for years, probably too many, I was a regular on a MySpace forum, primarily L&R. I am actually still friends with a few from there. It wasn't a trans forum, but I liked the type of interaction I got there for the most part. of course, I left it periodically as I have here, but after short breaks, I usually returned. Then they killed the forums and went with "threads" which were a dismal failure and finally they abandoned that kind of socializing altogether. Although the interaction there was usually more charged and newbs often ran for the hills before getting far, I enjoyed the variation in thought and discussion.
I'm not big on voicing my opinion on here nor do I do a lot of back patting, but that's just how I am. I figure most people don't want my advice anyway, they seem to prefer it from people that will tell them what they want to hear more than anything.
I don't even know how long I've actually been a member here, I think a couple years or so now, but can't tell for sure due to not having the original account or even recalling what username I had initially.
As to people leaving, sure some do, but some come back under different names or at least likely peek in as a guest periodically. Others have likely found other things to do, too busy with life or hold some silly grudge or two and simply can't play well with others.
Now this is about the longest post I think I have ever made here, so if you've made it this far, I feel for you.
