Remember When?

Am I the only one who remembers when people actually introduced themselves in PM's and had conversations before jumping right into wanting RP's?

I didn't take this time, but I do like to know my partners a little before do RP x3! And I mean to have real and long conversations, not just a couple of notes with just one or two lines each xT!

It's really sad when you just RP with someone, but you don't know NOTHING about the other person xT!
Imagine that this is you~

Some thoughts:

First, perhaps he/she feels an introduction is unnecessary, because his screen name is at the top of the PM.

Second, if he/she has been a frequent poster, he/she figures you know who he/she is, by reading his previous posts. Of course, if he/she is not a frequent poster, then some background on both the individual, and the character, might be appropriate.

Not necessarily. Personally, I do prefer to chat with and get to know someone a little first, but it's a matter of personal preference. Some people just like to get into the roles, and I am ok with that, too. I don't think people should be condemned for not wanting to chat it up before a role if that is not their thing. To each their own.

Well, its only polite to introduce yourself first before you start asking favors.

Not only that but a brief introduction is also necessary. Just the question ''Do you want to rp'' is something I personally can't really do anything with without knowing about what someone would want to rp. Saying who you are and what your tastes are helps with that.

No, you're not.

Chadmc90 started a thread about this as well a short while ago and was told by various members to post on his profile that he doesn't wanna RP.
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=27900

Now going back to gaggedrock29's question; as someone who gets pmed A LOT, I can definitely tell you something has changed over the past year.

Posting stuff about not wanting to RP on your profile won't change much since most of the the "kik generation" these days won't even bother to follow the forum or check the profiles of those they bug to RP.
Just had ANOTHER case of this tonight.

cutefeet15 pmed me out of the blue asking to chat.
When I responded and asked what he wanted to chat about, all I got was a line of half-garbled words, typos and no punctuation asking me if I was a sub, a dom, if I wanted to RP and what my Skype was.
Upon asking the user why he messaged me if he couldn't even bother to browse my profile beforehand, I got another rushed one-liner "so what would you do with me and you don't want any pics or videos"

So I write back:

"I wouldn't do anything with you. I don't even know you.
And no, I haven't asked for any pics or videos. You're the one who messaged me, remember?"


His parting reply:
dude your nobody I can promise you that.



NICE! So I've been very active on here for a handful of years and talk to a lot of guys on here, all of them were polite enough to introduce themselves properly. THIS year has been very different though. I've started getting a lot of these rushed RP/photo requests from guys that don't post on the forum besides posting their kik and skypes everywhere. Usually I just ignore them, which is what I think I'll continue doing after being told that I was a "nobody" by someone who pmed me :)

So yeah, there's definitely some kind of trend going on that's new here.
These guys are easily recognisable though. They're usually in their late teens to early twenties and bug you with these typo-ridden one-liners.
Profile warnings will do little to hinder the new kik generation from bothering you, so don't bother.
Just be ready to get name-called if you decline their rp/pic swap invites :quirk:

I prefer to do things in person in real life no role plays for me.
You will have to subdue me to restrain me. I been a bad boy so make sure you torture me too with anything but pain.

Everyone is different, however I do agree. At least start out with a "Hi, how are you?" At least be respectful and introduce yourself. I love role play scenes, but I at least want to know a little bit about you first. There are many that just come here to read the stories. I have been into tie and gag games for years (personally and cyber). You still need to be respectful, especially if the person says "no".

My issue is that nobody here seems to just "want to talk". There's always gotta be some end game. Some angle, be it role play, meetups, or what have you (I'm not talking about trading inquiries here).

I get hit up with so many requests that I just went ahead and changed my bio to reflect that I don't do role play or meetups. It's nothing against them personally or anyone that does it. And it is flattering. It's just not my cup of tea.

However, by saying this I'm effectively shooting myself in the foot because once I've I've set this precedent everyone seems to pull back. Even if I'm the one that initiates the conversation. Why? Why does a casual conversation about the wonders of bondage have to culminate is me doing you a favor? Why can't we just talk like normal people? We both obviously like gags. Let's start there.

I've only been on this site for a little over a year now, so I can't speak to gaggedrock29's nostalgia for the old days. However, if there was a time when the user base was more sociable then I long for that time.

Just the mere fact of these posts/comments reflects that not "everyone" is of the same mind. I for one believe that sharing this deviant side of ourselves to one another is a beneficial activity for our personalities and psychological well-being. Don't give up!
To tie or be tied? I'm not one to care as long as there are gags!

I like to role-play but then again, I like writing stories based off of them. Therefore, I feel like I am contributing. However, I see where SolidSnickerdoodle is coming from. It's good to "talk" and have a normal conversation. Some people just want to talk about bondage and role play, because of this website. I will not say that I am one of them, because I do like making acquaintances/friends, etc, and talk about whatever is on your mind. I agree with Burlap_Mac as well. We all think differently. Some just want to talk about bondage and role play...others are an open book.

I always like to chat before rping, in fact i probably prefer to chat about experiences and how people would tie me/how i would tie them than doing rps. rps are still good though.

No, I don't have kik.
