Well welcome aboard Zach.....Nothing to be nervous about! Most everyone on here is really quite nice, and if there is any information you need or questions that you might have on almost ANY subject, there will be some member who will have an answer for you, or at least THINK they have an answer...LOL Good luck, and glad you decided to join us. Best to you, BVB

[gnosvotos]

Welcome Zach! Just joined myself. Seems pretty great so far, I have a corner to hide in if you get scared though.

[leigh.bess.toad]

Welcome both zenm and gnovi. Glad you are here. BVB is right -- it can be a pretty friendly bunch. Most of the guys here won't bite -- unless you are into that sort of thing, then you'd have no end of volunteers.

 

And BVB -- looking forward to finally meeting you in 2-1/2 weeks at the Palm Springs weekend.

Allow me to add my sincere welcome to both zenm and gnovi (and gnovi I really love your Avatar). This forum has its highs and lows, like most things in life, however the highs that it reaches can be truly amazing. I have learned so much here and gotten some excellent advice which has helped me immensely. And its also a great sources of amusement and entertainment at times. For whatever purpose you participate, I hope it meets your expectations. Again, welcome aboard.

Thanks! I had been wondering that myself and thought that it must have been due to the forum software being updated? Very good to know.

Though not as timely as my compatriots, I too would like to welcome you...this site saved my sanity a few years ago and has been a great place for me to come and be myself...not something I can do in a lot of places. Welcome and do not hesitiate to contact guys here either through threads or via PM if you need anything....and I do mean ANYTHING. LOL

[bigvalboy]

Sorry gnovi...I did not put out the welcome mat for you also. Actually I have had a couple of members mention to me via pm that you were new and beginning to post. Soooo glad you are aboard. Remember, there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum. I have been here for about a year and I am still amazed how knowledgeable some of the members are. AND if we don't have an answer, most of these guys are really experts at research. Best to you, BVB

Oh my, background intel running on my appearance? That's quite a welcome committee!

Gnovi, you have no idea:):)..."Fasten your seatbelt, it's going to be a bumpy ride"......Just kidding my man!!

[gnosvotos]

Bumpy rides do sound exciting, at least in theory...

I also want to extend a welcome to the Forum. You will find it to be one of the best decisions you have ever made. My admiration for the Forum and its members (even with some ups and downs and oopses) has been a delight. In your best of times and worst of times, with posts that seem minor or silly to crucial matters that influence us all in our chosen lifestyle, they are there with support, advice, and caring.

 

Enjoy every minute of the ride (maybe have your schock absorbers adjusted though for the little bumps in the road

heh thanks boston bill! i will actually be in boston tomorrow, for about 20 minutes heh. just passing through on my way up to new hampshire. but i LOVE boston, such a awesome city! i had a TON of fun there the last time i was there, and it was the only time in my life i got soooo drunk i walked into the car door instead of opening it for the cab from the bar, then walked into the front glass doors to the hotel, then i walked into the elevator, then i fell down in the hallway to the room then i walked into the wall next to the door to the room, lol. needless to say, i had a blast. ok rant over. nothing to see here....

[gnosvotos]

Haha! Sounds like your trip to Boston was Absolutely Fabulous, zen.

 

Always wanted to visit myself, some day I'm sure.

Damn Bill, I didn't know that Rick Perry had been here. Oops.

[zenm]

I feel a group hug coming on. Well I guess it'll have to wait for Palm Springs in 2-1/2 weeks.

[leigh.bess.toad]

Zenmn -- one thing. This place can become a family in many ways. The men here have helped me through so much, not the least of which was coming out and meeting my now bf/partner. I would wager that I have probably met more forum members than any other client, at least in the last 18 months since I've joined. Between escorts and clients alike, I'd say I've probably met at least 50 forum members in person.

 

It can be a family. And like families, we sometimes fight (or feud). But these members can be a lifeline to sanity for many. We've helped support friends through major surgeries, car accidents, breakups, new loves, loss of pets, and coming out for quite a few guys. We've had our annual gathering in Palm Springs and a new tradition of an annual gathering in DC.

 

You'll get out of it whatever you want. That part is up to you.

[bigvalboy]

LOL LOL LOL..Ya know Zenm, I was thinking the same thing. I was just about to leave, and I turned on my computer and saw all the posts, and I said to myself, "This has been quite a day for the new kid" Nothin like gettin your feet wet, you just jumped right in. I love it!!!
