Status: offline 		I think it's both. I don't do much active looking on the other side. If someone eventually comes along, great, if not, oh well. I'm not holding my breath either way. I'm just making sure to not seal myself off to any avenue that might produce results.
I enjoy so many of the posters and there are so many intellegent people here. There are people who post that don't write as eloquently, yet have valid points and insight to offer.  I love it all.

Well, I would have to say it's both too...ever so slightly co-mingled.  What saddens me is that it is likely to become more of a sex-site; based on the advertising done.  I used to enjoy Alt, too…but not so much anymore. I realize bills have to be paid; but advertising sex partners brings those who just want sex partners.  Talk about watered-down BDSM.  <sigh>

Status: offline 		I stumbled on to this site, I have had good and bad experience.  It has been both a community meeting hall for me and a dating site.  I have learned a lot while on here and made some friends.  Some people I think are just wanna be others are just too big headed, and feel they are more important than they really are.  I probably fall into that catagory sometimes.  Generally I just get some great fun and ideas out of this site so I call it a reasonably well rounded center.

Ok...I know this place is set up similar to a dating site...

I also know that it calls itself a "BDSM Community"

I see it as both of those things by definition.

What does everyone else think this site is for and what reasons are you here?


I see it as both; a community and a personal's site.

As to why I am here. The one that I am with now recommended that I participate in the forums here.

Status: offline 		I'm here to use the Browse Photo menu  option, look for hot women and then proposition them. Profiles? wtf are profiles? I just know that their whole life, they were waiting to hear from me - and when they get my message, they will know that their life is now closer to ultimate fulfillment.

Just kidding. I'm here for the boards.

I'm here to read the message boards, ask questions on 'em,interact with other people in the lifestyle. And if I'm lucky, maybe form friendships with like minded people, and if I'm -really- lucky find a play partner or even a 24/7 partner.

I like playing some of the games too.

Community is a nice word to describe it; lunatic asylum might be more accurate.



When I used to work in a psych hospital, we used to joke that the major difference between Us (the staff) and Them (the patients) was that we had the keys. So, Im wondering, if we are in an insane asylum, who has the keys?

I used this site as a "dating site" for about a month and a half, and then I met my boyfriend/dom. I had not even gone over to the message board side until I met him (to read his posts, naturally). This is the first message board Ive ever participated in. I still sometimes like to browse through the profiles on the other side, but mainly just to see what kinds of things people are saying in their profiles. If Im really really bored, I play a game with myself where I look only at a person's picture and try to guess what their orientation is. Basically, for me, the other side is an email account where people from the forums can reach me. Im not sure this side is so much a "community" for me as a place where I can hang out and learn and voice opinions. I have met a couple of submissive friends through the message boards.
