I pimp out Pixies as much as I can. I have given this link to many friends that I have met on other boards. Some stay and become a major part of us and others come once and never again. I am choosy however on who I give the link to. Pixies is family and I don't want just anyone sitting on my sofa and eating my chocolate.

I'm much like DB. Must be why I like him so much. I play the games and make my rounds to see what there is to yack about.

I do like the more touchier topics because it's fun or informative to read others opinions on touchy subjects that affect us all.

What I'm guilty of and I think many of us are is that we come here and expect there to be threads to post on. What we fail to do is start some threads of our own. I know Lilith is the best at starting threads to get us going and I want to issue a challenge to all Pixies to begin starting threads. If each us just did one a week we would have plenty to say.

I know for myself it's just not been as easy to sit and play here as I once did. Some people have a hard time with hearing that, but a mobile baby controls me now

Like some of the others said, I'm not interested in coming here to talk politics or religion It's personal to me and I just don't come to an adult forum to discuss that stuff, besides it just makes someone upset.

I love to play the smut games, no harm done there at all.

I just recently shared the site with a long time friend, but haven't really trusted anyone else to know all my business....

I've tried to start up new threads but they aren't as popular as others. We just all need to do our part in keeping this place going.

Hugs

I have noticed the same changes and have mentioned them to other, hoping it was just the time of year and when the weather cooled off and kids were back in school, things would pick up. Pixies has become a home away from home for me and I love the people that I share it with. I have told a few people about Pixies, but only very special people.

As part of the furniture *LOL*...yep Pixies has slowed....but don't panic honestly

It's just going through a 'changing of the guard' moment is all...seen it before and i'm sure i'll see it again...older regs move off and new regs move in

Dunno bout the the other OLD as dirt REGS here...but my life has got busy...i hardly get online let alone to Pixies...though i do try to get here at least once a day

There is a different trend though that i dont like....there are more and more controversial threads appearing...and while i certainly like a good debate ....opinions are like assholes....we all got one and some smell bad to others *LOL* Bring back some lighthearted stuff and people will follow..

One thing i will add.....Members need to get off their ass and post new threads....not expect the same old regs to start things for them....to keep them amused....the regs need some amusement too and it does get hard for the same people to keep coming up with fresh topics....

Maybe go dig through the archives and bump up some older stuff, for the newer members to post there thoughts too??

It's an interesting observation.

At the time i tend to log on (between 9 and 10pm UK time) Pixies is almost totally dead. I have frequently been here and there has been no post in over an hour. On some occasions i have posted and filled up a full page of new posts without another name breaking it up.

The reason I originally started visiting Pixies, was because by the time i stopped being Mr Family Man each evening, it was too late to do much with my hobby (writing and recording music). It was great to see the banter in smut games and i loved it dearly. I do love it still when it it is busyer. And the adult side of things was rather appealing too of course.

I have got so fond of some people. But things are changing for me. My youngest is nearly 10 and likes to hog the computer as much as me. And I find I am not doing anything constructive as i appear to be addicted to Pixies even when it is dead!

Now i regularly kick my own ass and make myself do other stuff, leaving pixies up and running, intermitantly looking to see whats happening. I even started to get the music thing happening again. But the result is that I hardly post any more.

A couple of weeks back I even asked Lillith if it was possible to delete my ID to force myself to be more sensible in how I used my time. I will be suprised if i leave Pixies entirely... I am far too adicted, but lately it has become more like another place i go to check my mail. And of course, as i'm not very active these days, even my pm box is feeling rather rested, lol.

Now this isn't a complaint please note... just an observation of how changes in life effect things and how weak willed i am!!!!

It surely has to be true that new blood is needed to keep things interesting and stop it dying out altogeather eventually.

I'm still posting regularly, but I often feel a bit guilty about posting because I will come in and there are few if any new posts. I feel like I am dominating the Boards, so I go away for several hours or a day to wait for someone else to speak. Not much happened while I was only intermittently available during my vacation. I've tried to start a few new threads here recently beacuse I had sensed the slowdown.

Personally, I have tried to be a bit more upbeat -- I used to use Pixies to vent and I am trying not to do so as much anymore. I have not recommended any friends of mine to join Pixies, mostly because the side of me you all see is very private for me, and none of my friends see it. My persona at Pixies is a very real facet of my personality, but one I don't want to share with my RL friends. Perhaps that's selfish...but it's the truth.

What will help? Some new threads, and some new blood. Both would be a great help. If we all chip in on the threads portion, naybe we'll get new members. :-)

Did anyone notice Lil's new AV. That ought to attract some new members.

i keep my avs off during the day - the rumpus room doesn't have a door in the new house. - and almost always forget to turn them on if i get a chance to visit after the kids have gone beddie-bye.

i'm sure i'm missing all kinds of sexy pictures
