ParticipantAre there any ladies into MMOs? I remember posts on some gaming, but new ladies appear oiver time.

ParticipantNo responses. Mighty quiet recently.

ParticipantThe house used to provide wifi for us, and as a requirement to get on the wifi the girls were asked to participate in the forum on a regular basis. They stopped providing wifi for us girls and so the forum has died.

ParticipantThanks for that, Alex. No chance any lady can pay for her own WiFi? Off of the Ranch, ladies can participate in the fora, if they choose to do so.

ParticipantDear Ms. Empire,
Trust me the forum died long ago for a variety of reasons, long before the aformentioned calculus/paradigm, perhaps the wi-fi angle was simply the coupe de maitre.
My Best,

ParticipantHow long ago, Maverick?

ParticipantHey Flint,
You’ve been around awhile you probably remember the somewhat sudden yet prolonged decline.
It began with the beginning of this particular incarnation of the forum. The prior board ( Version 3.0?) was probably the most active board of all the house LPIN boards and certainly in the top 5 of all the boards combined ( house and emancipated included.) at the time. When TPTB decided to change over (Upgrade…??) well let’s just say they didn’t have a comprehensive understanding of the undertaking. As a result they lost a significant number of players due to compatibility issues and the inability to migrate users.
I don’t remember the precise timing but it has been quite a long time.
As I look at the current boards I look with my mouth agape recalling the golden years of LPIN. When I look at the board and see the thread freshness ratings measured in days and weeks I am gobsmacked, I can remember them being measured in minutes and hours. The ladies were quite active with many of the ladies being very active and some making a very good living with their participation and well placed CSM efforts. I have had the pleasure of knowing a few of them beyond the walls of the house(s). I had been told repeatedly, during my longstanding and in the eyes of some distinguished presence and tenure on the boards and in the hobby, having developed a level of trust and body of experience combined with honest, forthright yet respectful reviews had in particular provided abundantly. One of them I’ll call “L” told me her first three bungalows were due to my referral or review and one of those callers became a long term client….in player parlance…. a whale. She kept him so happy for so long Jonah would have been proud.
The economy went south circa 2007 (some contend it was felt as early as 2005) this also took a toll on the industry statewide. After this particular point in time the ranch was actually put up for sale but I believe that concluded without a transaction. I am certain this had an impact on the site as well.
There were other issues of concern that made an impact in which I could wax philosophic but I’ll spare ya’ll the prosaic banter.
My Best To All,
Bret Maverick

ParticipantMaverick, I do now remember the problems transitioning to this board. We did lose a lot of people, as I almost gave up on it. I do see a slow decline, but can only do so much as a poster and not a sysop.

ParticipantI’ve been an off and on reader of this blog since about 2012 (but rarely post). It seems to me that there was a sudden decline in posts about six months ago and has yet to pick back up. There used to be many regulars, but now Flint seems to be the only one left. I wonder if Twitter is responsible, as most ladies now post on their own Twitter pages??
April 19, 2017 at 2:16 am #20487Flint
ParticipantMaybe that is the reason, Joey.

ParticipantI played WoW back in the day. Nothing can ever replace the hole it left in my heart when Pandas were added.
August 3, 2017 at 4:13 am #20774Flint
ParticipantI did initially but not now.

ParticipantI used to play a ton of Runescape. I tried to get into WoW but I was too into Runescape, lol. I recently got Elder Scrolls Online and I’m so excited to start playing it!
