Sadly I don't think much stuff of any sort is going on here now Myrelin, since they changed the website (why??) it's all been rather quiet as most logging on seem to be watching videos. A couple of years ago Cruxforums was a thriving center of conversation & ideas, now it seems pretty dead!
I wont comment on any of you statements other then to say I think you are being unkind and overly influenced by your own proclivities. May I remind you that while the original name of this site was "Crucified Woman" and changing to “Crux Forums” has opened it up to a broader spectrum of interests. I for one do not like seeing crucified men, I had more then enough of that in church as a kid. Also as an admirer of the female form, it’s more the pose then the physical mounting of a female to wood that I favor. A view of the face and the upper torso of the crucified female is more or less the same as the purview of male during the act of having sex with a female partner, and that I believe is the turn on for me. (I have three grown children.)Sorry, I take your point about spammers. It's just that this site has changed a lot in the last couple of years, I prefer the discussions to the videos, & there seem too few discussions recently. Maybe all that is relevant has been said & now everyone wants to see the videos.
Yes there has always been that divergence of interests, & you are both right - sorry. I just wish we had more of the discussions that we had three or four years ago here, that was my gripe & nothing to do with the organisers of this site, which is still a great idea.
The problem with male only sites are that they are the domain of gay men, which I am not. It is the actual subject of crucifixion that interests me, not particularly crucified women, which I actually don't like as I find it a bit misogynist I'm afraid. I know this started from Crucified women, but it did become a more general site discussing the subject of crucifixion itself a few years ago, this has changed recently, which I find a pity. Just needs people to get talking again like the good old days!
I hope Melissa that I haven't caused anyone any annoyance, I just voiced my feelings & I know they don't match most others here. I respect everyone else's ideas & preferences, but we are all different & come to this from all sorts of different directions. It is great that we have this to come to & share our ideas.
If anyone has been spluttering replies that you've had to delete because of what I've said, all I can say is sorry & I certainly mean no harm to anyone.
I'm probably alone in my views, but I hope everyone can bear with me, every community has its village idiot!
Hi PhilX,
Please don't do yourself down! This is something I have to fight every day in my job. I wish you would do some more manips. Mr A. did loads with blokes on so you are not alone. I attach one pic we are really pleased with...but all the real work was done by you!
(myrelin simply gave the reply "bu*****t" which is hardly a well thought out reply and then stomped off vowing never to darken our doorstep again,)
Melissa
I am glad to see your improvement of my picture Melissa, I wish I could remove the original as I discovered that some people had mistaken it for Calvary & the nakedness caused offence & distress to some. This is far from what I intended. Three crosses was a mistake as well as the crowns of thorns (something I thought could have been of common usage for practical reasons). It was just a scene of a crowded execution in some place long ago - nothing specific.
I feel rather guilty that Myrelin stormed off, after all he had started the thread!
Thanks for your patience & I didn't mean to criticise the new format, you are all doing a great job!
Dave (PhilX)
PS I cannot work out what "bu*****t" could be, & I'm not going to try!
Here it is.
