What's the point of this place?

What's the point of this place?
That's a good question.  To answer that, lets have a short history lesson.

You remember that internet boom we had a few years ago?  It was great.  I was looking to retire in a few years, I had a good job working with great people.  But then that bubble burst, and I - along with a small group of those great people - were dumped.  Our company downsized.  Being mostly IT people, we were some of the first to go.  So I had a site that really wasn't doing anything.  Why not use it as a place for us to keep in touch?  That's what I did.  I found a free forum software and set something basic up.  Several of the guys registered, and we had a heyday of furious activity.

But time does things to people that don't see each other every day.  So we pretty much all drifted apart.  Some moved to jobs that were more restrictive of what content can be viewed.  Some ended up whipped by a kitty kat.  Others just drifted away or lost interest.

After awhile of using this place pretty much as a blog, or a place to throw something at my wife or killjoy.  There isn't much traffic anymore.

Frankly, I have no idea where to take this place now.  I'm not closing up shop, like many would do.  I still like to use this place to throw weird crap or life stuff out to the world.  So even if this ends up just being my blah blah place, I'm fine with that.

But I would rather it didn't.  I enjoy working on this site, even if under the assumption that few people come here.  I enjoy that I can post something to killjoy or Stingr or haase that might get them through a boring day.  I like having a repository of my favorite porn pictures.  So I'm going to very slowly start changing things.  Making this place less generic, and picking up the odd cheap slot on other forum's advertising.  Our first banner went into rotation at NHP this week, and even tho it has only gotten a smattering of visitors, I feel it was a good first step.

So, I do need something from you guys that do frequent the place.  I wouldn't mind hearing from our lurkers for once, too.  You don't even have to register to reply.  I want to know what you guys would like to see.  Things you find missing from other sites.

This place is boring.  Much of that is do to the lack of activity, but also because we don't have anything that other forums don't also have.

Ah, but what would you like to see on the site?  What would keep you coming back even more?

[WackyW]

I don't know.  I will have to think about that.

I would just love to see this place more active. I miss having a more adult site to post on. One that doesn't require me to say "bottom" and "shoot".
