You know come to think about it...  A more socially adept OM wouldn't be such a bad thing, with or without the name being an issue.  But, I worry if this would go back to being a hopping place that it wouldn't be the same.  I like it how it is now, very similar~ish to Outminds.  The other sites that I checked out they were more like casual sex hook up sites...  I just thought I'd put that out there, so that maybe we could prepare ourselves for that possibility, but in a way to try to prevent it.  Which I know it would be a lost cause in the aspect of having private messaging, but you have to agree.  Looking at a persons profile and reading forum posts of that nature is vulgar, keep it in pm's!

Thanks for the feedback! :)

No worries though. This will not be a casual sex or hookup site. The idea of making it more "social" is simply to make it easier for everyone to see what's going on. Like, if you post something, making it easier for other users to see and respond. We would warn or ban users who were doing sketchy things on the site. We're definitely trying to keep the site PG-13ish, lol. Hopefully too much of it won't be going on in PM's, haha. XD
I must apologise, I did want to put this in the feedback, but then I was also curious how others might have felt about the possibility I brought up.  I love the site being PG-13.  It makes it a generally happy~go~lucky, care~free place to visit.  I'd like to think that PM's would stick to just purely platonic friendships, but I know not everyone in the world feels that way.  So, oh well.  At least I won't have to worry about having it shoved in my face all the time.  Outminds I recall had a few problems with that, but it was hastily taken care of, haha.  And from what you just stated I feel you'd do the same.

I'm looking forward to all the new you all have planned.  Maybe it will bring in more people! Woot! ~_^  Here's hoping, right?  But, then (I'm guilty of this myself) the people who are on here on a daily basis...  If we'd be more active, haha...  Then maybe we'd get more people to show up!

 I miss having articles and resources listed on how to find stuff and basic answers to questions. I still have some of the stuff that I wrote Hint hint.
 ya know it's not like we're lacking members, we're just lacking activity. we have over 600 members and barely a fraction of that number are active in the forums and such. i think people join this site thinking it will be more like the others, kinda sad.

True, true!  I look at the members number from to time!  Thinking "awesome, it's gone up quite a few maybe there'll be some more posts."  Then I check and nope.  But, the last few weeks really haven't been bad, not alot said...  But, not all that silent.  The shoutouts have had a few things and the posts that have been posted, well the replies recieved kinda covered all that needed to.

I wish I had some of my old stuff, kinda miss going through it.  I never thought about keeping any of it for the "just in case" and I'm a pack rat, I usually save everything.  I guess with Outminds I was naive and passive, grew to accustomed to it being there and not thinking of the possibility of it going *poof*.

Oh well,  I sometimes, when thinking back... Almost prefer here, not sure why though.  Anyways, if the people that joined don't like us pg-13 folk, well that's their loss.  haha

 Maybe we could each commit to raising the activity level by doing something. Like I could start doing LGBT history posts once a week or posts about random important LGBTQ related news articles. Anyone got anything? Post links to interesting stuff?
I get random ideas for forum posts on Advanced Anime in the forum games, like, random stuff like Answer With A Song Title, or the excuse game. So I could post a few of those. =D (I alread posted the excuse game, but I titled it You Know You Want To Click This." or something like that.
And speaking of non-active members, I think all of the daily/weekly active members have already posted in here, save for LG and maybe a few others. D:

How about some kinda crazy membership drive ...  :)    Woooooot!

Anyways, how is everyone doing?   

~valerian
I second that
 a drive for crazy members???
 Where are we driving the crazy members?

 As long as the crazy members don't drive that could be bad..... or are members driving someone crazy?
 Am I on the passenger list or the pilots list? 
I love you guys!
