Genuinely curious - what's the point?

[Diligaf]

I'm new around here, but every time I visit and check out the "new posts" this forum is always in the top hits. Not saying there aren't plenty of encounter reports, but this appears to be the most active forum thread on the site.

From looking through all the threads I can't find a single example of anyone changing their mind. So here's my question:

What's the point? Why do you all spend your days (literally from some of the post counts here) posting this all on a board designed to be a hooker review place?

I completely understand why board management likes it. It drives eyeballs and people click and get the popups - so profit. You all? There are multiple places on the internet where you can scream into your echo chamber. Why here?

Thanks.

Some guys like to hobby (see the ladies) and debate politics on the side without having to go to a separate website. Not sure why the guys who do not hobby like to debate politics on ECCIE.NET. You would have to ask them. Guys with good educational backrounds like to debate politics on here. I think that is part of the appeal.

The penal code in the state of Texas has changed with regards to the Hobby recently. ECCIE.NET went dark for a little while back in 2018. When ECCIE.NET came back on-line some rules were changed about how girls could post what they could say or wear. Some forums were closed. Some users (both guys and gals) started to leave ECCIE and go to other sites where rules are not as strict. This has resulted in the Political Forum being as busy as it is. I only have about 3,000 posts. I will never catch the guys who have 20,000 plus.

If you need a website with more hobby related information go try ourhome2.net ( AKA OH2). Most ladies have gone over to OH2. Some of the ladies have an account on both websites. Good luck.

I think you’re on to something with this. I’d hypothesize that it’s because the site caters to an expensive “hobby” and those who partake in it are typically of a higher income/education group than you’d find somewhere like Reddit.

Obviously I could be way off base but, from a relative newcomer’s perspective, there’s a different vibe here than most forums.

Welcome to the cat box, Aspiring Valued Poster.
#1) Read the rules
One of them surely has something to do with respect of posters, topic and something about the board, in general, and even the moderators... On the upside, you get friendly reminders (coaching tips) about it from time to time.

I must admit, I have no idea what this means, or how it's remotely relevant to my question. But thanks?

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the bus ride.

It's about the best way I can describe the Political Forum on ekky.

This is my first post with quotes, glad I figured that out!

I'm new and have been lurking for a few days, couln't post until my account was activated. Been reading lots of stuff! And I am also really puzzled by why anyone would want to post about politics on a site like this.

Anyway, yeah, I don't have any idea what he's saying either. I have a feeling he will tell us though, from other stuff I've seen him post. We probably won't understand that either!

'cause ain't no one buying what you're selling. Though I do hate to disturb the telling book-endng of this particular thread.

Seems a fair enough way to summarize the rule about staying on or within the OP topic actually.

The defensive perception is unintended. My bad.

Because I can.

Color me skeptical and in [BOLD] 12 point font, but I seriously and technically doubt it, but I probably could, yet don't see a need for it.
