Ive decided I dont want to be here anymore. I dont post as much as I used to. Ive kinda lost interest in washers...at the same time gained a new interest in something else! There's a web site for this particualar interest! Not trying to be rude, but I also feel like I dont fit in here as well...

But I will come here from time to time though.

Thanks everyone for all past help! Hope you find future posting good!
 
You don't have to go, you know...

It's not like we are jealous or your mother (where were you tonight? Don't you know what the neighbors say about that boy?...)

Go if you must, but drop by occasionally - you're one of us.
 
Do you mean that you are removing your name from the roster so that it won't be seen in a club with lotsa gay members? Otherwise, you don't have to drop a club to join another, in most cases. Enjoy your new interest, but remember that your stein is still hanging behind the bar and we keep a welcoming light in the window at night for one and all.

I can see where he`s comming from

on many chat sites ,I got the same feeling ,but automatic washer is a nice site compaired wirh many,bear411 was the worse,discusting attitudes people caniblizing their bodys ect
 
The beauty of this club is that NO ONE exactly *fits in*

Much luck and success with you new interest and in your life in general.

I myself have moved on many times and often don't look back or want to see / recognize the person I was. It is a normal part of maturing.

You will be missed.
 
Good luck Corey, and have fun with your newest hobby. I can understand that interests do change over time.
Please feel free to visit anytime you like.

I can relate. I used to visit vintage TV collector/repair sites religiously but once I found AW.org I find myself here more of the time. I think part of it is that I can be myself here. On those TV sites the majority of the men seem super straight and I get the impression that most would have issues with certain lifestyles. But it's also because I've found more interesting things to read and chat about on AW's "super" threads. After a while, the technical electronic stuff that's over my head gets a little boring on those TV sites. This one is always good for some interesting reading.
I'd also like to state that for design and functionality, this site can't be beat. It deserves some kind of "webbie" award or something.
I think the one comment about Bear411 covers other sites too, in particular BMB. Seems attitudes have changed in the bear community and now it's not as welcoming to all shapes and sizes. The prima donnas have infiltrated and taken over and haven't left much room for regular guys.
 
What is BMB?

Are you saying the "regular" (Bree Vandecamp type) gay men are not welcome on the "bear" websites? I haven't been to one but I would think some of those guys would like the non-bear type guys. Maybe that is a wrong assumption on my part.
 
BMB

Stands for "Big Muscle Bears" .com
There's also just plain "Big Muscle" .com but I guess there were so many pumped up bear types that they warranted their own domain. It's all a bunch of posing and showing off, things they can do on line now as well as in person at events like IBR or Lazy Bear Weekend.
 
Well at least the people here are friendly unlike and I hate to say it quite a few over on the new Vacuumland site. Ida, Helen, Brett and Veda excepted of course as many others. The animosity over there you can cut with a knife but watch your back cause they'll knife you soon as look at you I'd put money on. I knew ahead of time to expect that and I wasn't disappointed. I was going to quit, after sending my dues in, but I figure what the hell, I'm not walking on eggshells for some old biddy in LA County and her fellow crones who have nothing better to do than purse their withered lips at anyones attempt at humor.
 
Compwhiz, I wish you much blessings on your new endeavor!

I'm pretty new here, and when you are a new member and just getting used to the established order, sometimes there's a period of acclimation that needs to be made. One concern I would have is that a new member, such as myself, would indeed alienate any established members with anything I might have expressed, and therefore, deprived other established members of the original posters' company....possibly someone THEY really loved.

I really do hope and pray that's not the case here, and I'd like to take a moment to publicly make amends to anyone I may have inspired to flee, or anyone who misses someone who did.

Appliances are good clean fun and I hope that, if your new interest doesn't take as much time up as you thought it would, you'll consider coming back, or at least lurk and keep up on anything that catches your interest!

Blessings, Light, and Peace to you, and everyone, in this beautiful holiday season!!

Petek....yes, the vacuum boards are just too attitude-based for me (not GOOD attitude, as in determination, moxie, spirit, etc., but the bad, backbiting kind).....

Maybe this will change, as the industry itself changes, and everyone finds a spot to feel comfortable with...
 
Just go through some of the old posts here and you will see some pretty heated discussions of the past. It happens from time to time.

I wish i had something to contribute to this site. I find this place is getting more and more interesting what with all the washer videos and washer tests going on..this is a washer lovers dream.

I will not give up hope though...who knows what's lurking in the damp basements of NJ.
 
I never fit in anywhere

But at least I find some kind of acceptance here at aw.org. So I'll be hanging around for a LONG time. Washers are a lifelong hobby.
