Obviously you don't understand the nature of my original post. I said that there are those few who still hold onto this site, but there is a trend going right now that this site is losing members and not gaining many back, even fewer sticking around for very long.
Unless there is some new attraction to keep potentially good users around, there is no way this place be around in another five years. Just have a look at the new post once and take a long look at the amount of replies most threads have. Hardly any, even like a third of so of the ones that have replies are bumped. Just watch how few people end up replying here.
I am not saying "take this site down," I am suggesting that people starting migrating elsewhere or work on a miracle to keep good people here. We are being rendered obsolete because of how many people are choosing getdare over this place. Most people don't even post NSFW pictures on here anymore, so why not go to getdare which has far more people on it. As for NSFW links I've seen plenty of them on getdare that stay up. Besides, pictures and links are usually handled in private messaging anyways.
That means that all the advantages of this site are essentially nullified comparatively to how things are at getdare. Things have gotten so private and adult there that there is little purpose to this place at this point. Yes you can still meet other people. Yes you make new relationships. However, everything I just mentioned can be done at the sister website getdare.
mmm if you want a suggest about what should be added to this site as far as a big attraction would go I would suggest adding a set of chat rooms similar to what GD has, I mean it is one of the biggest things to actually do over on getdare (for instance right now it's the middle of the day and there are 37 people there, yes I do know that it might not be the middle of the day for them right now but still the current number of active users on KT as of right now, 28 now I know that there won't be as many given the fact that there aren't as many total users but the main point is giving people a reason to stay logged on and keep themselves logging back on right?) I know that for me in general when it comes to reading the forums over on GD I never read more than two or three pages maybe five if I'm super board in the unread posts section. This is because like my friend miss intereste said earlier the site is full of trolls, fakes, and one to three line posts like for instance:
"So if more than 5 people Pm me with a guess for The Penis Challenge I will venture outside for a public dare, Post ideas here and I'll choose the best to perform!"
That is a post that I just pulled off getdare took me literally three clicks to find (I'm not saying who posted it or anything because there isn't any point). The big thing to remember here is that GD easily has way more one line posts than KT people are in general less mature over there then they are here (from my personal experience) and it's far easier to end up getting hurt do to inexperienced doms/dommes taking on a new sub. I'm not saying that this site doesn't have anything wrong with it either, for instance one of the things I really like doing is posting blogs but lately (as of about last Christmas) the blog section of KT has kind of been pointless to post on, for starters you have these three or four account that have 3333 in their names posting about pointless stuff that isn't even site related (things like horse races) now personally I think that the accounts are bots and it wouldn't be much of a problem but it basically makes blogging pointless on this site especially if you combine that with the random trend that started around last January of new members either replying to threads or posting thread type content in the blogs area (which doesn't make much sense since I believe that area doesn't even receive as much traffic as the unread posts section does) Now then before you think I'm just saying this because I feel like ranting on your thread I'll bring it back to the topic, another good improvement that could be made to the site is simply put moderation of the blogging area, in other words have the mods go through the blogs and take down any ones that seem to be ads, replies to threads, just a thread, or randomly about horse races or other things that don't really belong there. The main reason why I make the point of saying that it's a good improvement is that literally the biggest thing for me on KT right now is blogging and when these problems started I honestly thought about leaving KT like you are now (if it weren't for a few fans like CuriouslyIntereste, Droptokon, and port86 I would have but since they like my blogs so much I decided to stick around).
Finally I believe that early in another reply you mentioned how with places like getdare why would anyone come here? well here's why for starters this place is in fact a smaller community yes I said it your main problem with this site is actually a good point, let me explain. First off do you know how many posts were put up on GD in the time that it took me to write up to this point (approximately 40 minutes) well it was about 30 posts (almost one per minute) now then on KT? about 4 or one every ten minutes. Now then this is the middle of the day when it gets to be 8 pm or later in the US it jumps to somewhere between 60 and 100 posts per hour on GD where as over here it maxes at around 15 to 25 per hour (and that might be a bit generous). Now I know your probably doing a mini see I win GD way more popular dance, well yes it is... but that also means that those 4 times as many one line ads or 4 times as many "I'm horny so give me a dare" threads are also over there clogging up the unread threads section of the site and when those four times as many, let's face it, shitty posts equals about 20-30 posts total then guess what the entire first page of the unread posts section... yeah it just got filled up pushing your extremely detailed and passionate three paragraph long thread, that you just spent three hours writing and reading over, back yet another page making it less likely to even get viewed let alone actually getting a response. Where as if you simply take your time to write a well thought out thread over on KT and to be honest it will get at least one response without fail, trust me even my unpopular threads at least get a response.
So basically are there problems with the site, yes definitely, are there less members on KT then on GD yes it's probably easily a 10:1 ratio in GD's favor, but is that some kiss of death? no I don't think so to be honest I've always felt that KT is about the quality more so than the quantity. The main problem with the site isn't the lack of people but the utter lack of things to do, most people, myself included get on check for pms, look at their threads, and maybe skim over the unread threads, then quickly hop off or just leave KT open in a tab refreshing the page every two or so hours in case they get a pm. Basically the only thing that needs to be fixed is what people usually do when they get on, if you can take that usual ten minute cycle and stretch it out to about 30 minutes or maybe an hour you'll easily start to see the online members list double in average size, how do you accomplish that simply take what you already have, improve it, and add more to the site. I've already mentioned it but adding chat rooms (and not just a carbon copy of what GD has something more KT like, now of course you'll need a lounge and bdsm chatroom but you could also add more fetish related ones such as a pet play, or abdl chat rooms you should also have an rp focused one such as the scene that is on gd because chat rooms are some of the biggest attractions for people that love to rp) and of course my suggestion for improving what's here is simply to improve the blogging area, start moderating it and set up rules so you can't post blogs that should just be threads, or post blogs that are just replies to threads, of course you should also make it so that blogs that aren't at all related to the site either should go somewhere besides the main area or just be removed, but that's just my opinion. Let's be honest here, I'm sure that everyone here can already guess this but there is just about nothing you can do to change the site that will fix it's problems over night, to be honest taking the site down and starting over from scratch? that would just annoy me and make me want to try going somewhere else rather than staying here always worrying "hey if it doesn't work this time will they just start over again?" now then how long will fixing the site take who knows a month? 3? a whole year or more? to be honest I don't really care because I really love this small community feel that KT has, warm people that always welcome new members and help them get on their feet as long as they ask for it, and nice mods that aren't intimidating to talk too in the least is a nice fun place and it's what's made me stick around for the year and a half that I've been here for, which reminds me I wanted to thank everyone for being so nice -bows-, but if you can't stick it out here for even a month then... maybe KT just isn't for you if you love surfing a huge back log of unread posts for one or two that might be ok-good quality posts or if you love posting to a forum where nobody will reply either because your a guy, or because your post just got pushed back a page or two with in 4 hours then you really should head somewhere else... but for me I love this site and everyone on it, sure it has it's problems like constant new members spamming every single forum with the same thread in a span of five minutes, or no chat rooms, and its blogging area has kind of hit rock bottom lately but I still love KT and it's definitely not beyond saving after all if you were to reboot the site then it wouldn't be our KT it would just be another GD that's focus is specifically bdsm as opposed to t or d you know?
