hey all...
i've been lurking here since my teens, but finally decided to become a contributing poster! these forums definitely got me through some confused moments in my (late-and-goddamit-probably-not-over-yet) adolescence. I'm 23, lived in NYC for 6 years and have just moved back to the small town where i grew up. it's actually really refreshing to be somewhere the subcultures are earnest and unselfconscious. i'm an artist and working almost fulltime on various odd jobs like substitute teaching. high schoolers... they'll put you in your place! also: i was going to bump a *videogames* thread that i swear i saw a while ago, but can no longer find... does it still exist? |

Hey Busties,
Been away for a while (school, housing, and work messes). Practically a Newbie all over again, I'm so out of the loop and don't know what people have been up to. Missed y'all and will try to be more involved! Good to see much of the same awesomeness going on. |

Hey all - I'm kind of a returning person as well. I just felt like I should say re-hello. I was a very active poster, about... wow... seven years ago? I have since gotten a real career, met my husband, got married, moved and life goes on.
I guess I'll have to feel the place out with what I just read about recent changes. So, in closing, hello all and I'm happy to be back. |

Welcome niki and I have the thread for you...under the F word, look for "A Gender Agenda", the place where we discuss the politics and meaning (or meaninglessness) of the g-word. I look forward to seeing ya around the Lounge.

Hello, I am niki. I've been around here for a year, but I guess never properly introduced myself (being quite shy) and have now been reprimanded for posting elsewhere without the introduction, told to post here so folks would know I'm not a troll. Truth is, I never really understood what a troll is. . . . I do live under a bridge and chase little goats. . . Anyway, here goes:
I am male (physically), gender-queer, very interested in gender query (or gender queery!) and gender theory. Likewise interested in all things sexual, particularly kink. Think of myself as femme/submissive. All kinds of role reversals intrigue me. So does consciousness expansion through BDSM. Middle-aged, attached. A writer, of sorts. I'm boring already. What would you like to know? |

creepy.
so, we are still waiting for the new rules? i read some of it and it seems GT was singled out because she threatened to talk about the ruckus on other boards. which seems really stupid because anyone who wanted to could do that without a threat under a different nick and how would the KGBUST stop them then? maybe i am not even allowed to point that out. WEIRD. however. depending on what the new rules are, maybe it will be for the best? i remember being frustrated with the lounge before (and posting about it) because C never seemed to give a rip about us other than the fact that the number of registered posters helped bring in advertisers. shortly thereafter, we got the new lounge format, but i ended up on hiatus anyway. so when do these bill maher-esque New Rules hit? thanks for the reply! good to see you too! |

 Pacifism kicks ass! Posts: 3,064 |
Hi there, Glowlita! I remember you! Good to see you around.
I understand why you might feel alarmed and confused. Everything was the same as ever until about a week ago. That's when the shit hit the fan. Basically, our old troll bombed the place over the Thanksgiving weekend, as usual, and it took many days for his posts to get cleaned up. Some people were irate at the lack of moderation. Angry words were said and one person - GirlTrouble (also known as Butta and Aviatrix back in the day) - had her account suspended. We've never gotten a good explanation for why she was singled out. You can read all about it in the Busting Trolls thread in "As The World Turns". The good news: After years of begging and pleading, they've finally agreed to give us a mod to work on evenings and weekends (when trolls usually hit us). So that's good. The mod started working just a couple of days ago. We're told that it is a Bustie, but they've chosen to keep the mod anonymous. The bad news is that today we were told by the head moderator that there will be some new rules around here. A lot of people were very hurt by the events over the past week. A lot of people have decided to vacate The Lounge permanently. Others are waiting to hear what the new rules are before making a decision. Unfortunately, this means that the old Lounge you remember - the bustling place where dozens of women made scores of posts everyday - doesn't exist at the moment. It's kinda working on a skeleton crew so it's pretty quiet and slow. But who knows. Maybe this ol' girl still has some life in her yet. We'll have to wait and see. |
