but this is primarily a youth rights forum, not a girl love forum.

Have you actually read the rules? Because you have it ass backwards. This is a girl love forum, not a youth rights forum. It's called Girl Chat, not Youth Rights chat, for a reason. It was initially intended to be an all-inclusive board for GLers--everything else was extraneous. I have been here long enough to know that the initial incarnation was pretty diverse. That the majority have since become youth rights advocates does not change that fact. If they want to change it to a youth rights forum, then they are perfectly within their rights to do so, but that is NOT what it was supposed to be when it started.

In fact, the board's continuing focus on the pro-contact issue has alienated a lot of potential members, I'm sure. We used to get new members almost weekly. Many scattered after the PJ/AZU terrorist campaign, but the fact that VP does get new posters almost weekly I think says much about what this place has become. Even the moderates like Sancho Panza have mostly fled. It is no longer a welcoming place to be for anyone who doesn't support the pro-contact agenda of the main group of posters here.
