My ex-husband was on here allll the time, and I got curious. I lurked for a while, then posted in the LL, then started branching out once I started to recognize other posters.

That's what attracted the ex, I think, so I guess you could say that's why I joined... but I've really never paid much attention to them, other than an occasional exhibition thread.

Yeah...not so much. I think the Ladies Lounge covers anything I'd want to discuss with ladies only.

I really don't know, to be honest... what kept me around was a sense of community, a friendship of sorts with other board members. I left for a while because of personal reasons, but that was the reason I came back.
As for posting...well, it has more to do with attitudes than genders, at least for me. I remember being kind of intimidated by a female member back in the day. Also, I tend to get along better with guys...and with women who get along better with guys. So it makes sense, I suppose, that I don't mind the "male domination" here.
