I personally love the forums, but sometimes one small comment can completely derail the thread.
I have three famous stories, 2 recommended reads and have come in the top ten in two competitions~ Come in and make yourself at home.
I usually stop in here when I am on.
I am pretty selective in the threads in which I participate - but I think they are fun, for the most part. I try to stay away from the ones where I figure nothing good can come of it. I am not particularly fond of controversy -- least of all controversy for controversy's sake. Often times there are misunderstandings that arise, and those need to be smoothed over. From an observer's perspective, it is fascinating, funny, and sometimes tragic to see how people interact with one another -- but usually interesting.
I try to avoid the one's with drama and tend to use the light hearted one. Drama gives me gas.
I enjoy chatting to someone I like and find interesting (has nice tittays). After that the satisfaction of posting a story is quite fun.
But when it comes to laughs and observing human behaviour - like a people zoo - the forum is the place. You just never know how people are going to react to the most random things. It's funny to me.
I love the forums. Both posting and for just reading. Some are more entertaining than anything on tv. They usually get shut down pretty quickly.

I've always loved the Lush forums in my seven years on Lush. Most of the forums are great .... but the Think Tank is an entirely different beast. It was created for more serious conversations ..... but sadly, its evolved to lots of "damn cute cat" pics at time to defuse tension with the thinner-skinned or when someone's truth(s) comments/analogies exposes someone's nerves.
Some of the drama that occurs with the thin-skinned or the drama-whores can be highly entertaining. But again, the Think Tank is for those able to swim with sharks and eels and such.
I applaud those who don't venture out of their comfort zone, otherwise they may delete their account!

Nah, this is my first visit here.
=== Not ALL LIVES MATTER until BLACK LIVES MATTER ===
There's a quite a few I visit often. I usually stay out of the drama causing or prone ones..... usually when I'm not busy though
The forums can be fun and a great way to meet people here, but some the questions do get a bit boring and mundane.
