Bored of the forum?

Contributor: Dusk Dusk
Does anyone else ever get bored of the Forum? I look through here and I feel like I've read and commented on everything. Not to mention half of the new discussions have already been started before and are just on repeat. I miss being around more, but it's hard to find an interesting discussion to join in on.

I think sometimes it's hard to see the good stuff around the games, year old posts, and things you've previously commented on. Sometimes I go a few pages back to get to things that interest me but I wouldn't really say I was bored.

I would really like to see a much different style of forum. It can be tedious to find things but I believe Gary started a thread two or three days ago about how to fix it. I suggested something a little more towards a Livejournal set up. It would be much easier for club events/discussions. People would be able to reply directly to each other and things wouldn't get so muddle up and the guests wouldn't feel like they've been a (text) war zone (my perception).

Sometimes it gets a bit slow, thats when I go check on EdenLink, EdenCafe, watch video's on EdenTube and Sexis. After all those stops I come back to see what's new.

Make sure that if there is something about the forum that you'd like to see changed so that is isn't so "boring," you check out the Furum Update Suggestionsthread.

I rarely go more than 4 or 5 pages back, but I sometimes do look up threads under random topics. Generally I just kick around for a while before or after discussions, or when I see something interesting come up in my wall feed. Other than that, sifting through all of the stuff I don't want to read becomes tedious, especially because even when I am paying close attention, I sometimes miss the discussions that I would actually like to participate in.

Ok I have to say I get bored when I stay up all night and activity is lower because the majority of the world sleeps sometimes. Lol

But that is usually a cue that I should be asleep, too!

I really need to work on that once class starts again. I will have to do Eden when I do my inet class

I get bored of the same discussions about favorite sex positions, or how many have had sex outside, or just a link to a toy and a post of "i like this".

I do get bored when I am on constantly & have read everything, but I have been busy lately & only coming to eden every few days & that has seemed to help keep things "fresh"

I get tired of those "I like this" posts too - and all the other ones which are clearly just point farming, plain and simple.

I don't get bored on forums...at all. Like dwtim said, there's always SexIs, EdenCafe, EdenTube, and reviews too! It'd be easy to kill an hour on EdenTube alone!

Ever look back at forum posts you started a long time ago and see what other people have posted on in the meantime?

I haven't been around here long enough to be even close to bored.

I also don't think starting new threads on topics that have been covered already is such a bad thing. There are ALWAYS new people coming to eden and it's nice to hear what new people think about something as well as the eden vets.

Personally, When I'm looking for information or a discussion to participate in I look for the most current threads not the ones from 2 years ago. Sometimes I like comparing the threads to see how people felt about things then vs now.

I think your boredom stems from a dislike of EdenFantasys in general.

You had no problem commenting on a hater's post about how much the Eden community sucks... remember the comment you posted last week?

"I almost have no words for what I want to say. I admire you for leaving. I have a goal, and that is one day to leave, but only when I am really at my wits end and know I can survive well on my own. Right now EF is a practice run, a chance for me to work on my writing skills and it pains me to see the shit going down there. Perhaps I have a hope I'll change it, I don't know. But perhaps one day I'll be in your shoes and can feel like less of a douche for staying."

... yeah, not cool.

I'm surprised you're still here. No one has a gun to your head making you stay in a place you obviously don't like.

also research changes, what was considered safe a year or two years ago is not now. Materials improve, lubes get new selections with safer ingredients.

I enjoy some of the same old discussions because with new products and research the answers can always be different.

I don't usually get bored with the forum because each time I am on here reading I never read it all, so there is usually something to catch my interest the next time.

Yes, from time-to-time I do get a little bored. Probably has more to do with the fact that I'm sitting at home on a computer instead of OUT doing something. As a SAHM I'm home a lot, so in the evenings it's like "ugh, I want to DO something" but being broke limits that, so I browse the net, especially the EF forums.

*shameless pimp of the clubs*

Have you checked out the clubs? There's several on different topics. From blogging to movies to photography to writing. The conversations are usually pretty good and you get to know other contributors more. Getting to know the contributors has been my favorite part of being in the clubs.

Of course, if you're not interested in socializing here, then it's all moot and you might as well move on.

Clearly people who get bored don't spend enough time being silly/random/sexy in The Orgy Thread

Well, Andi (you don't mind if I call you Andi, do you?), that thread might be a little TOO random for some people! It also goes in spurts. I also wonder if some people might feel excluded.

(which you totally shouldn't... post a pic (doesn't have to be of yourself) OR grope someone and you're in...)

Don't bring this hate here. I am entitled to my sharing my opinions and it is neither your right nor your job to make giant assumptions about how I feel. I don't agree with everything that has happened here but neither do I agree with the hate fostered by others for this community and what it has to offer. I wrote this thread because I have seen the same forum threads popping up day after day and I would like to hear about and talk about a new topic once in a while.

In response to some of the lovely responses, I think I need to check out more of EdenTube since I haven't spent much time there lately.

I've been trying to get more involved in the clubs but my biggest problem has been Pacific time and not being able to be present for meetings due to being in class. I'm interested in socializing but it just hasn't been working with my schedule as a student.

I tend to put in some effort when I create a discussion, or a vote with a lot of options. I track all my threads and there is always new posts to read so they are always interesting to me. Other than that I just search and pick good threads. I don't have a problem bringing back old topics if they are good and just been forgotten. I don't like games however, some of them are just plain pointless. Like the gazillion of men vs women I'll take a look at forum suggestions topic I got some ideas.

I can understand that. I'm not in school, but some of the earlier ones are difficult for me just in Central time zone because it cuts into my day-to-day. The great thing is being able to go back and read what you missed, and leave your opinion. Lots of people check back.

But this problem was one of the reasons that I chose a Sunday evening for Eden Flicks. It's at 9 EDT and there are lots of people who are just home hanging out by that time. By the way, the movie for discussion for June's meeting is The Graduate and it's on Netflix.

Yes because obviously if anyone gets bored with something that must mean they HATE it. Well, 78% of the people that have voted here agree with Dusk, so why is she the only one you're picking on?

To me it's a little creepy and unsettling that you follow Dusk so much to know this but have posted so little. You're only other post was to instigate trouble as well.

I don't come on the forums at all because frankly, most of the topics ARE boring and constantly repeated. Does that mean I don't like Eden? No, I just don't care for the forums. Also, I've heard all the stories from the "haters" and I felt the same way as Dusk for a long while. But ya know what? Then I actually had a good experience and don't believe what those "haters" say. The real haters are the people like you who put down other people's opinions and tell them they shouldn't even be on here. Everyone has their own reason for being on Eden be it free toys, community, practice writing, trolling, whatever. It's not your place to tell them otherwise. And yes, no one is holding a gun to her head but she's still here, so obviously she likes SOMETHING about the site.

Now, go back to your cave troll.
