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 a lonely mother of 2, searching for companionship, when I stumpled upon TFP. Not exactly sure how I found it, I think I searched a list of forums somewhere, and something about TFP caught my eye. It was not the porn. I was drawn out of the shadows by some, who have now become my friends, mostly online friends, although I have met a few in person. I do not post regulary, but I do visit the site a lot through out the day. Some threads (like this one) just inspire me to reply more than other threads do.
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?
The porn does not bother me, it is far down enough on the site to not appear while I am work. Much of the time, I forget it's there. It does not effect my posting here at all.
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?)
I thought we used to have a parenting forum, and it was merged with Tilted Life? Which is fine by me. I come to TFP to try to be me and not 'mommy' anyway. I think there is a wide enough spectrum of boards and posts here. I can't think of anything I'd add.
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 think of anything to change. As a potential wallflower, I have been here for a little over 3 years. What made me stay? good question. The companionship that I was searching for and found, the ability to find out information on just about any topic, the way TFP has helped me find out who I am.
