How about a section for locations
Re: How about a section for locations
OK to get to some of your questions.
First the boundanna.com is for self bondage forum.boundanna.net shares self bondage, bondage together do it yourself(DIY) and a few others could be listed. Just click on the board index and read through them.
Second While yes this account is a new one but only due to my email being hacked unable to retrieve the account it was deleted by AOL, there for when i went to get on bound anna and could not remember the password i could not rest it. so i started a new account with my real name and info.
Third What i hope to find is the same as most people a place to talk to people share ideas events things relating to the life style of kink and bdsm in what ever level someone wishes to talk about it( As we all know some people are sure freaks some are not( sorry for the freak just a life style wording nothing personal)
As for my idea here is a more detailed ver.
Under board index a thread that states something like regions or areas or Local help
than under that have The different regions. I dont know what all regions there are but Im in america so one USA, nothing to other areas of the world just and example so look like this
USA
China
Austraila
Japan

I side by side them to Make this post shorter...Anyways find you state...im washington so WA
Click on it Wa but i would say have a warning note stating that this is a public post post knowing that others will see you location so i click WA
WA
Spokane area looking for local info PM me if you wish than over on the side you have your user name blah blah we all now that stuff...lol
so mine would be Stephen....
At this point other users can see i am in spokane and looking for local info and can click on my name and pm me and we can talk thru that instead of 100 post to find out what all i am looking for than they tell me they now this and that and i tell them thanks oh by the way any idea where it is safest to do some outside bondage than they post back yea check this out than thanks...blah blah blah get the idea i hope not sure how so show a bunch of post...lol
But in my eyes a section like this does a few things for people one it makes it easier to find your area and people in your area and those who want to talk...so i or you are not send joe smo a bunch of pms and they dont want to talk they just want to read stories...lol
also by cutting out the endless post by allowing others to find one another cuts alot of junk post out and puts one standard thread where they can be found and not spread through out the forums....
also i was not saying i paid for fetlife...i personally do not like fetlife. i did pay for a site and all i was getting was lets have sex tonight talking to people and what not was not there at all...
also i know that something like my idea is not a easy thing to add, and if it was decide it was not worth the work fine but please keep in mind i come to boundanna because i like boundannas page. the info shared the help from most the ideas of most....i want to keep enjoying this site.
also i was not upset my first thread was moved or what ever happend to it.. i did not make 2 threads but if it dubbed by all means it need fixed...at the same time that is what made me think of this idea so that things where not dubbed or here and there through out the forum....my idea is something like the bondage forum area and the self bondage forum threads... not having them would mix alot of things together...i use that as a way to view the intent of my idea. Allowing someone to willing post their city for others to find to create a bound that can share local insite and knowledge...it could be a winner it could be a flunk out...who knows right but its and idea...
to those who feel i am wrong for my idea great but dont bagger me about it, its an idea shared and nothing more to those you like it great but dont get pissed if it does not happend and to those i pissed off sorry the only one i try to piss off was the one i told to lock themselfs up with no keys. and that was because i felt disrespected and violated for posting my idea. nothing more nothing less. a simple i understand your though however i feel that it is unusable would have been fine... Again I am not using this idea as a way to get a date or a sex friend but a way to find things in your areas or areas you are visting in....
Again its an idea...like the saying goes oppions and assholes alike everyones got one...right...lol
I hope this sheds some light on things for those woundering what in the world was going on...

Not to say "go away" but instead, "Try here:"

This place has a "Find a friend" section...
I think Boundforum is a little bit bigger...

Re: How about a section for locations
sorry for being so late replying. been terribly busy in RL.
if you look @ the top of the page it clearly states "selfbondage-forum" under "www.boundanna.com"
if anna wanted this to be some kind of "kink-lifestyle portal" she would for sure set it up differently.
but this place is intended as a SB-resource & discussion forum, as can be seen by the subtitles under each forum.
*with a few "deviant" places for borader discussion.
even 6 subforums for continents isn't much setup work.
but now it get's messy: 50 subforums for the USA alone ?
if you hover over the "profile" link in one of your posts you'll notice it ends with "=5036".
yup, thats right. that's the total numbers of members in here, including the "dead wood"
* 2650 members have exactly 0 posts*
but, to make the stats look better, we'll just assume they are active here.
there are 7 billion humans on this planet, to make the stats even more "better-looking" let's subtract
3 billion for all the asian or non-latin-alphabet peeps who are likely to be under represented here.
that leaves 4 billion peeps, of which roughly 300 million are based in the us.
meaning 7,5% of members should be from the USA. let's assume we want to make the stats
still better-looking, and the US is vastly overrepresented in here. so we double their numbers to 15%.
that leaves us with 755, of which 2,167% are from WA (6,5 mill of 300). that rounds up to 16, and if we
subtract all the assumptions i added to make the stats more favorably, it leaves you as the sole member
from WA.
now that doesn't really warrant a subforum, does it ?
don't get me wrong, your input & participation is welcome, but you are looking for something this place ain't.
there are already a lot of places that cater to what you are looking for *free of charge*. one just has to find them.
don't take this personally. i just thought if you spent some time with that idea you would realize this isn't the place to come
to look for RL-contacts. it's a place for information exchange & advice.
now i wonder what gave you that particular idea.stephen wrote: First the boundanna.com is for self bondage forum.boundanna.net shares self bondage, bondage together do it yourself(DIY) and a few others could be listed. Just click on the board index and read through them.

Re: How about a section for locations
Not quite! I recently moved here from NY, and am living with my slave (who I met right here on this forum just over 5 years ago. She already lived in WA.) Having said that, I'm not asking for any help finding the kinds of info Stephen is looking for, I'm quite capable of finding that on my own!ponylady wrote: that leaves us with 755, of which 2,167% are from WA (6,5 mill of 300). that rounds up to 16, and if we

I'm also pretty sure I have seen others from WA on this forum, so your assumptions are off a little, but your point is well taken that each area of the world will have at best only a very few members. If everyone would just add a location to their profile, we would have a pretty good idea where someone is from.

Re: How about a section for locations
Well, for those of us, who'd like to share that information, the option is given. But I'm quite shure that there's a few people here who might not want to be identified for whatever reasons. And not stating the region you're from is the first step to prevent RL identification.cdinbonds wrote: If everyone would just add a location to their profile, we would have a pretty good idea where someone is from.

Re: How about a section for locations
Just about what I thought - a cluttered mess that would be a nightmare to moderate and maintain - especially since a most of those subforums would probably be empty. Worth the trouble?

As some have already mentioned, there is the option of showing your location. *Mind you it doesn't have to be specific* - I list Montreal Canada as mine, but if you take the entire greater Montreal area, there are about 3 million people in a geographical area of about 5000 square kilometers (I might be off, but I'm guesstimating just to make an example) - no chance that anyone can point me out in a crowd... well, maybe, if I decide to show off my wasp waist... . I don't think that listing just a country or a state can ID you precisely to anyone. No one has walked up to me yet and said "Hey, you're Bound Jenny!". Or maybe they're just too stunned while staring...
If anyone is looking for anyone else in a particular region, there is the member list where one can sort the list by location (click on the word "LOCATION" in the column header) and browse through that.

Re: How about a section for locations
If there was a sub forum for RL contacts, then there need to be a few rules...
1) just one posting that you're looking, unless you move...
2) anyone wants contact, they will PM...
This should keep the contact forum clean and simple...
As for as PM'ing first, the contacted person may not be looking...
IE: I'm in New Mexico, but unless I post that I'm looking, I should not recieve a PM from "SaraTieMeUp"...
But if I post there that I'm looking, I'm fair game if "Sara" contacts me...
I haven't checked, but I'm not sure if there is a section that describes what a user is looking for...

Re: How about a section for locations
Now I may be making a poor judgement here, but I came into self-bondage because I didn't have the nerve to "out" myself to anyone, so it was a way of indulging in kink, but as a solo activity. By definition, I wasn't looking for personal contact. I imagine, perhaps incorrectly, that a majority of people who indulge in self-bondage do so for similar reasons? I know this is NOT the case for everyone.
My thinking, then, is that those who wish to actually meet other people with similar interests already have the means to do so, elsewhere. The kink community is not hard to find in the UK (there are 6 munches within 50 miles of where I live, and that isn't London!) and probably similar in quite a few countries. It is therefore quite simple to meet up with others, and whilst they might not share self-bondage, they might well have other interests in common (for example, I was at a play-party this last weekend and there were at least 5 cross-dressers, plus TV/TG/TS ) and of course the SB devotee might well find a play-partner - which is what happened to me nearly 3 years ago.
Therefore, a specialist site like this one isn't really the place for meeting people or advertising to do so. Sharing information, on the other hand, is what this site does so well.

This is a selfbondage site. period.
There are some sub-forums for the sake of not having related interests considered as off-topic.

www.BoundAnna.com
SelfBondage Forum
the point I was making was that most people come here specifically for information on self-bondage, which is almost entirely practised as a solo activity. If you want to meet people, the "broad church" of a Munch and the local kink scene is a much better way of getting to know people on a face-to-face basis.
The other "interests" boards on this forum come about because people into self-bondage often combine it with other kinks, such as cross-dressing, and chastity, or develop computer software/hardware to provide an element of interaction during an otherwise solo activity. The "Bondage" board provides the opportunity for those of us who enjoy partnered play to talk about it, but to be honest, it is largely irrelevant to the main purpose of this forum, though perhaps it might encourage people who might like to try, to make the giant step into meeting other kinksters.
The other thing to bear in mind is something that has already been pointed out. This world-wide site has a registered membership of a few thousand. The UK BDSM site www.informedconsent.co.uk has around 150,000 members but doesn't have any boards on self-bondage, and very, very few people there have anything to do with it (on a recent thread there, when I mentioned self-bondage, some replied they didn't know such an activity existed!) Consequently, to provide any meaningful search capability for every country and locality would be a huge effort, mostly wasted as a very large number of localities would have one or no people in them. But there is nothing to stop anyone memoing someone directly if they appear to be in the same area. I have had some contact with people in the UK on that basis.

You forgot to nitpick on the software forum.tiemeupalso wrote:@lj,what speciality are you talking about.this is not just a selfbondage site.you also have bondage,crossdressing,chastity,DIY,etc.
As it so happens, a lot of self-bondagers crossdress while bound. Hence the crossdressing forum.
Also, a lot of self-bondagers practice chastity, also when bound. Hence the chastity forum.
And seriously, the DIY forum is a goldmine of self-bondage projects and means to pervert common items into bondage accessories (which, coincidentally, are used in self-bondage).
Need I go further? I don't think so. Neither should this be pushed to the point where everyone gets angry at each other. That is definitely not part of self-bondage.
So cool off, people.
