1) How did you find out about TFP, when you first joined? Did you lurk for a while, or jump right in with posting? What helped you open up and start posting?
I was looking for info on Chantix and quitting smoking and happened upon a thread here at TFP. I found myself reading other threads and joined. I believe I began to open up when I found that I wanted to hear others' opinions on a situation I was going through at the time. I also totally enjoyed reading posts and opinions in every sector of the boards.
2) From the beginning, how did you feel about the porn aspect of the board? (And the fact that as a result, there are far more male than female members here)? Has that ever made you hesitant to post more often here?
I really didn't even notice the porn aspect at first. It doesn't bother me as far as posting goes, and I've found some good links here when I do feel the need.
3) What kind of "female" board topics/forums might encourage you to post more often, if you could vote for something? (E.g. a "wedding" forum, or something for parenting, or any other topic that might be interesting to you?)
Not sure ...
4) Can you think of anything we might be able to change on the boards, to make it more appealing to potential new members? What is it about TFP that has made you stick around this long?
I can't say what, if anything, should change. Those of us that find it appealing base it on what we're interested in and the personalities we encounter here. That's the reason I'm still here. Even when I don't agree with the masses, it's refreshing to hear others' opinions and thoughts and keeps me open to new ideas. I've formed a couple of friendships here that I treasure. I also have a great deal of respect for the administration of this board, having been active on other boards in the past.
