LuvyourShoes Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 I feel like thats the dynamics of all organizations. Church, social groups, community service orgs... etc. A few constants, mid sized group of people who contribute from time to time, and finally a ton of stragglers! Organization 101
Pumped Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 One internet group I am on has well over 10,000 members. Maybe 200 are what I would consider active and post weekly or more often.
Rob Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I've never been a big poster here, but over the past six months I've visited less and less. I visited just before Christmas and very found very few posts that interested me, the same again in early January. When there is less of interest to read, the wish to visit and read starts to dry up. Members do wax and wane in their activity, and I've never understood how many members can make multiple posts everyday - I simply wouldn't have enough worth saying. However, recently there seems to be a lot more activity and some really great posts, so I will be visiting more again.
Steve63130 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Rob, It doesn't matter how often you visit here, as long as you continue to be part of our community and contribute as much as you can. Thanks! Steve
hhboots Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I go through cycles, sometimes I post several times per week, other times I go several weeks without a single post. I guess it depends heavily on things going on in my life. I know another factor is that I usually feel that I just don't have that many interesting stories to tell compared with those that talk about their adventures out with such passion. I have only started a handful of threads in my 5 years here, but I do at least try to add my two cents to threads from time to time, and hopefully at least a portion of those are adding some value to the discussion. Anyway, I agree at times, it just gets boring after a while... it starts to sound like the same machine turning over and over, but there are still some very valuable posts to read here and I still enjoy coming here even after 5 years, so I'll be here for the forseeable future.
Impala Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I'm new, but I think I have posted a lot for the short amount of time I've been here. I'm just full of questions and uncertainties. And I'm not finished yet! I could walk on sunshine, but I chose heels instead.
Shafted Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Question will never be shunned. Everyone deserves to have access to the information here. Shafted, the boots that is!

chris100575 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 I check in quite often, but don't post as much these days unless I feel that I can make a contribution. My own experience with heels has changed too, when I first joined it was a secret thing that my wife hated, and posting here was a good way for me to talk to people with the same interests. Then we split up (not heel-related) and I went through the "coming out" phase to some close family and friends, where I felt I needed the support of a peer group. Now I'm happily re-married to a lady who accepts my heels and is quite happy for me to wear whatever I like. That's a wonderful thing, but it does mean that I don't feel the same need to talk about it, and my heel-related internet activity is mostly shopping.
Steve63130 Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Chris, Don't even think of abandoning us! Even though the forum may not be as valuable to you as it once was, your experiences are valuable to the forum, and to others who may not be as confident or comfortable with their heeling as you are. Stick around and post about your outings, no matter how mundane, to demonstrate to others how heeling can be done! You're a good example of a good example! Steve
Shafted Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 I'll second that! Shafted, the boots that is!

bluejay Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Chris, Glad you updated your situation. Keep your posts coming. I enjoy reading the posts of fellow heelers, no matter how mundane you may think it is. Happy Heeling, bluejay
chris100575 Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks guys, that means a lot. I'm not going anywhere but I'll try to post a bit more often. :-)
