ORIGINAL: SacredDepravity As we sit here bitching and moaning, there are STILL only 3 comments of input on my breast nailing thread (which I greatly appreciate by the way) . I am sure there have been discussions before, but it is not something that comes up every day and there is A LOT that can and should be discussed on the matter. I'd post another more specialized or advanced thread, but either no one will participate or I would find a hard time keeping a handle on the ranting and raving.

The thing is, the more specialised a question or topic, the fewer people will have anything of use to say about it. Take 100 random collar me kinksters and invite them to discuss spanking, most of them will have tried it, or want to try it, or know something about it. Fewer will have any input on, say, cock and ball torture, by virtue of the fact that it is limited to male subs/bottoms and those who play with them. Fewer still will have much to contribute to a discussion about sewing a person's vagina shut because we're getting into a very specialised and more 'extreme' kink. I read your thread, but I could be of no help to you, I imagine lots of others felt the same. On the other hand, threads on 'basic' subjects like the difference between sub and slave are easier for people will less experience to jump in. Naturally they're going to get more posts.
Then again, if we never bother starting these threads, we're less likely to attract posters that do have advanced knowledge or unusual kinks. So I don't think we should stop trying. We want potential new posters to glance in and see that we're starting threads on all sorts of stuff.
A few people here have said they'd like to see threads about xyz - please start them! I for one would do my best to get some interesting debates and informative subjects moving, it's just that in my comfortable existence I don't have many questions I'm burning to ask.
As a side note, I think that sometimes potentially interesting threads die in lesser used forums. I almost never look in health and safety because there are rarely new threads, so sometimes I will see a thread I would have liked to take part in, but don't bother posting since it's already getting old. I wonder if the health and safety and equipment forums are all that useful - I don't think the small number of threads would clutter the other boards and they'd get a lot more traffic.
I totally understand and agree that the more specialized (I was trying like nothing else to stay away from words like advanced or extreme) will not garner as many responses as those more general and basic, but at the same time, I think there is a tendency for those with information to shy away from responding to these types of threads afraid of giving out information to potential morons. I'd just prefer to discuss and let the rest fall where it may. People do come seeking meatier information, but often don't get fed. I think it is an idiot that thinks they can blame information they got off the internet for negative outcomes and I don't know too many people who would defend such a position. This has happened in subject matter such as extreme physical play, internal enslavement, emotional control, etc. In other words, all the stuff that *could* go on for pages and pages. A rare thread of this type will do just that and do so without drama, but rarely. I'd like to see it happen more.
