We are a unique group of people. I am referring to the forumites on this site.
We have come such a long way since the inception of this cyber world we live in today. I remember my first exposure to communicating was through Usenet. After a long procedure of logging on, one could search topics and start participating in several discussions. These were usually one liners. From there the techonolgy exploded. I even still remember an announcement from Xerox in the late 50's, early 60's where they said they had formulated a system where a document could be copied and transported by telephone across the country. It developed into the faxing practices most of us are familiar with today. I was there when the fax began and I will probably see it's demise in the near future. Today we are in a most advanced state of communication. I cannot even begin to list where we are. We can do everything from email, to paying bills online, to video chatting with friends and the list is endless.
My purpose for this is to talk about you, the forumites of this site. In the past recent years I have belonged to many forums and chat rooms. These were usually restricted to the nature of those sites, i.e., male gay issues, political stuff, religious stuff, and so on. I first subscribed to
Broke Straight Boys to be able to view all the scenes my heart throb had done. Occasionally I would glance at the forum discussions for curiousity but I was not interested in joining the converations. One day I saw a post about dead porn stars. I wanted to respond but could not because I was not registered. A couple of weeks passed and I kept reading the continuing posts. I gave in and registered primarily to respond to the original post I had read. And, here I am today.
You folks are GEMS in my being. This is the most unique experience I have had in recent years. Not only do we talk about
Broke Straight Boys, the models, the scenes, but also ourselves. We share thoughts, music, history, experiences and at times things we would never dream of sharing with others outside of the confines of these forums. In the few months I have been a member I have gone through the entire range of emotions from hurt, anger, acceptance, and more importantly LOVE. You have made me cry and you have made me laugh.
I offer to you, my forumite family, my huge hugs and kisses. I also extend my deepest apprecitation to the owners and staff of
Broke Straight Boys for providing such an excellent site and forum to allow us, your members, to be a part of your family also.
Peace, and Love!
