I've been here close to 7yrs now. I miss the WA state chat room used to be very social. Last minute get togethers for BBQ or pool party in summer. These days people whisper hello and not sure why that has to be private. It's just full of wank cams or 3 secs in and a private chat request comes up.

OP, in regard to your second point, I think internet dating in general has changed. I remember when internet dating was in its fledgling state, 15-20 years ago. It was generally considered for use only by the ''desperate and dateless'', nobody would actually confess to being a member of one. I was a member of one around 2003 and the total number of people, men and women, who were members in the Northern Territory was only like 200 or some low number like that. Filter out who you didn't think sounded or looked your type and you maybe had 10-20 people you could message or receive messages from. I think this had the effect of people appreciating messaging more. Fast-forward to now, and it seems every single person (and some in relationships) on the planet is now a member of at least one internet dating service. Even here in the Territory a filtered search (women between the ages of 40-60 within a 25 km radius of me) yields over 500 profiles. Changing my filter to men seeking women with the same other criteria yields over 2,100 results - and this is in Bumfuck Nowhere. If all of the men are messaging all of the women at least part of the time, that's a lot of messages women are receiving. As is often talked about here in the forums, some women simply can't keep up with their inbox. There is also the simple fact that women can indeed knock you back for seemingly trivial difference. It is a different beast now, and yes I think it was simpler way back when, but it is what it is now and we all just have to crack on.

These days people whisper hello and not sure why that has to be private. It's just full of wank cams or 3 secs in and a private chat request comes up. Yes - I also found the people from WA very social and so easy to chat with. Miss them all very much. Tall

I hear what your saying, and broadly agree. With regards to your 'filtered search' - how many of those 500 profiles would be active, though ? In my normal search in a larger age range of local women, there appears to be only around (an estimated) 80 women who are regularly active, from a much larger base. Also, as mentioned by yourself as well as women in other forums, I understand some can get overwhelmed with responses at times. But an increasing number also do not seem to care about old fashioned manners. Thanks for your input. Tall

I remember the old chat rooms, and the "forum regulars" seem to have gone through a few generations of change as well. Probably the same number of forum spats over off-shoot friendship groups (funnily enough, the same arguments about it on here, were on more vanilla ones for other forums I'm on - same same but different)

when i first joined the chatrooms were fabulous. the banter was great. you got to know more about the essense of the people you were chatting; something you could never get off a profile and a series of messages.most of the people i ever caught up with were off the back of chatroom conversations. second time round, i went in a couple of times and it was unrecognisable.

I had the same experience with NZ dating, social meet ups, long chats and lots of fun. But the internet and internet dating has changed. I guess we were just lucky to be part of that unique time in internet history.

Agree the old chatrooms were very easy to find friends to talk to. Even during the mid-week days, you could usually easily find 100 - 150 people logged on. The Friday nights and weekends usually went ballistic - going through all the rooms there was easily around 500 +. Sad to see nowadays there is generally only a handful of people on, sometimes even less. Probably a number have moved on to other directions, but most of the ones I have known still have their profiles here (I know, easy to forget to worry about removing). Have seen the odd one still sneak a look in, but then disappear again for considerable time. Tall

Today is my twelfth year in here. Gawd, I remember when every post had to be moderated. Then the time when all posts and even new topics could be posted without moderation... And now we have moderation on topics again and some people have moderation free posting. I've been blessed to have moderation free posting for nearly all of that time, and it can be a lot of fun, as long as I think before I click lol. Peachy

I only named a few examples in my intro - it wasn't my intention to cover everything, otherwise there wouldn't have been any scope for others to come up with stuff. But also I did not get into the forums on my initiation - I only started in them about 5 or 6 years ago, so I don't know if there was any / much difference compared to what I know of them (I'm learning too). Glad to see other forumites bringing up memories from the past too. Tall

Forums Topics are too moderated now. This has its good and bad points. There’s less diversity in topics as well which is a shame . People seem more inhibited to post. Flashback to ITouchMyself 😂😂 What a firecracker. Ha ha

The complaints about repeated topics has been an ongoing one in my experience. I can't remember how many topics were destroyed by whingers complaining we'd had that topic before. So glad we don't see so much of that these days, it ruined any chance of actual diversity. Speaking of diversity? Yes, losing Touch did take diversity with her. It was at the time she left the moderation got more serious and it was the reason she left, so ironic post by you Earthqueen. You keep complaining a thread of yours is stuck at the top of off-topic, I'm going to take this chance to suggest you contact 'customer support' to help you out though I would have thought you'd been here long enough to know that for yourself, so why you haven't done that yet makes me wonder. I do miss Touch and I'd have to disagree that she didn't know how to back down, we'd become great friends again by the time she left after a year of disagreement between us. I think I'll throw her a line to see how she is going lately and report back. Hawty, I used google search and your posts on your old profile seem to have disappeared though I can find quotes where people have replied to you, I can't find your actual posts. But the earliest quotes were from 2009. That was the year no moderation came in, so much fun we had. Bunny? I'm not sure what you mean but do remember a rash of Easter Bunny photos lol. Tall lol, I was just leading into my statement of having been posting here for 12 years exactly yesterday, and funny also that you posted in the forum but didn't mention it. It wasn't a criticism of your post just a giggle. Peachy

Not taken as any criticism - understood where you were coming from Would be interested if you could make contact with I Touch and let us know how she is getting along. I know there were many who found it hard to take her, but privately we both got on quite well with one another. Hope she may have found her utopia. Tall

When the site was the hot half of RHP until so many snowflakes shifted over from the vanilla half and ended up objecting to hot pics endlessly. I still don't get what they thought was so hot that they wanted to be here. Guess they had a melt down. That was before your time Anti. Then came the days of the Facebook like button and the new rules that dumbed pics down even further. Sigh... So many memories. Peachy

Yes they have changed a lot. I can’t even get a reply or anyone to chat too. Not always looking for sex just some lovely women to just chat with and pass the time when feeling lonely. Been in the chat rooms and it’s no longer the same friendly greetings and people that want to strike up a conversation.

I miss posting on the forums and interacting with everyone. I use to post a post a week or two or three! But alas the demands of a full time 50 hour per week job and personal commitments mean I’m just not on RHP as much as I use to be. I just turned 30 a couple of weeks ago and remembered when I first signed up I was only 18!!! 4 years on the site as a single girl and 8 years as a couple and lots of things have definitely changed. It’s great that some of the originals are still around on the forums posting though! :D Taby xx

Not sure if I can really speak for changes, as I joined here very late in 2014. I don't know if the demographic or ability to make connections has changed at all, or the functionality of the site perhaps. I'm pretty sure though that I had met anyone that would become intimate with by the end of 2015 (although I have still a couple of those connections).

Yes - fondly remember always hoping for Chatroom #1. Logging in and finding you might be in #3 (or worse), and constantly trying to fight your way up the ladder into #2 or #1 - waiting for someone to log out and then quickly jump in before someone else noticed. Just had a quick look before typing here - 3 people (arrgghh). Oh how the good 'ol days are missed........ Tall

Supa... I believe they changed the chat rooms to give it a facelift....and I think the outcome that eventuated was there was suddenly a huge amount of lag time between typing a contribution and it appearing, and when it did appear there was half a screen of other contributions and it became harder and harder to have a conversation....

Remember when Bobby Ewing died a the end of one of the seasons? Patrick Duffy had been given the flick, but the following season ratings dipped so bad without Bobby that they brought him back for the season after that? ITM2's return is kind of like that. (Let's just casually forget that they tried to write Bobby Ewings' death off as a dream - for an entire season)

The hardest thing in the world is finding someone who loves you like you love them, or vice versa. With the few I've connected on a deeper level with, either they've been more into me or I've been more into them. We have to remain positive that the right person or people will come into our lives, probably when we're not looking, when we least expect it. A big part of the reason I left was because I was feeling used. I came to the conclusion that men generally don't want anything more than a hole. I might get slammed for that, I acknowledge it is a different world online, but I was giving so much and it became very lonely in amongst it. Plenty of sex is great but it becomes exactly that, empty almost. I'm still lonely to be honest. But we must stay positive

Gosh they really were so much fun! My ex and I were always in there... the WA room was always pumping with so much banter going on. There was also the option to cam if you wanted to which we sometimes did... I remember we put on a show with a paddle pop once... that was a lot of sticky fun! 😂 But if you didn’t want to cam then you could just chat... we met some great people just from hanging in the chat room. Everyone was so friendly and chatty... ah the good old days ☺️

I go back even further to pre-internet days when you brought a contact magazine and responded with good old pen and paper sent via snail mail. (A lot of hard work back then but worth it). People were much more considerate and friendly back then. The internet has produced keyboard warriors and people who live in thought bubbles where it’s easy to “flip the bird” and formulate an opinion about anyone and anything without speaking!!!!

They aren't faceless here. Many people know each other and support piss poor behaviour because they think their way is the only way and they have each other to support that outlook. SMH, Peachy, that's something that really hasn't changed along with that old chestnut about how it's only online so it doesn't matter. What a load of crap. Real people, mazing to think if we treated each other decently, it would be a better world.
