Hey Skinnykid, when is your next triathlon?

Use to post here more frequent. Now I just post limited stories and the rare comment. One only needs to read what happens to those who don't meet the "unpublished rules" to see why the volume of posters has dropped to a trickle. Heaven forbid you don't meet the standards of the self appointed moderator. I am not surprised new posters who get scolded decide not to return and former frequent posters decided to leave.

I totally agree, as the old saying says politness is a golden key that opens many doors, courtesy always has its place (sorry for the misspellings(Im french)
Never the less I miss the old board witch has bene replaced by this one. speedo-on...

You will be delighted to hear that I have added myself to that list - do carry on with your fawning admirers and read even more twaddle from those who join a "forum" with no intention of contributing anything intelligent.
(btw frequent should be frequently - grammar is a golden key for authors as Louis might say)
PS: I have had my uses as some personal notes of thanks from Mike will testify

[LeanHunk]

Been busy with school, extracurricular activities, socials, internship/job searching, and training.

Looking forward to contributing more.

I wonder why www.thespeedoforum.com has more posts/contributions. I think menswimsuitboard.com has more freedom to make post, In the above mentioned site your messages will be tested. I once joined that forum, then I made a post how I started to like speedos, the the forum owner sent me a pm saying I cannot talk about my childhood , because they could be pedophiles in the page, well... wait a second, I just wrote something about my swim team when I was 7 years old, nothing strange or gross, so what was wrong?! some time after that my account was cancelled "for not making any contributions". bloody forum.

so I feel confortable in this forum since you can say what you feel and what you think with no jerk testing what wrong or right. this is because I like this page more. maybe some members, study, go to gym, have a family, kids, and so on, so they cannot dedicate much time like before. sometimes I read old post and it gives me ideas to new posts.

Obviously sometimes readers don't completely comprehend posts properly or the post wasn't written clearly enough to avoid confusion. Sometimes readers will feel compelled to react or over react instantly, without re-reading a nd giving the author some benefit of doubt. It happens. When it does, and you get sick of it, a private message is appropriate, so is ignoring it, which looks the same to the rest of the viewers. It doesn't have be a big fight and most of this is plenty hilarious without added drama.
Nothing here has to be taken so seriously as far as I can tell, and I would worry about the quality of life of anyone who totally "lives here".

I myself have taken long gaps from time to time due to work and other priorities. Even when I do log on, I like to read what others have to write about.

I do certainly enjoy the pics that people post of themselves or of others. Don't particularly care for model pics more than I do for real people pics (water polo players, diver, swimmers, etc.)

[skinnykid]

me too. I'm not a big fan of models. I just like sharing pictures of suits that we have.
