Welcome @Pikfre

We're glad you're here.

I''ll bring my 640 nm UV flashlight to sniff for glowies; otherwise welcome!

Welcome !

Another, from Sep 4th:

Welcome to patrick.net @Itsthisguy24

We're glad you're here.

I think we already scared them away.

Lol!

Make a comment. I waited I think 5 years. Now I'm 13k deep. Opinions are just that, so don't expect everyone to play nice. More users is good though. I look at this place as therapy.

It would be nice to have more active female users. Not sure how one goes about attracting that crowd. They're all on social media. I prefer this format. Just comment and have fun, argue, debate, agree, disagree and realize no one actually gives a shit.

It's Patrick's site. Never met him. Have emailed him. I've disagreed with him on many things. Guess what I keep coming back. I always go to the airport reference. I could literally bitch at you on here or any forum. We meet in an airport not knowing each other and could probably talk for an hour at the bar.

Not a huge Crowder fan, but it's kind of like that. We all mostly agree on everything with 5% of ideas being an outlier or just being uninformed. Also, don't join and run when someone disagrees. We've had a few of those in the last couple months. Unless you meetup with anyone here, this is all fake. Don't take anything personal. You can actually learn a lot from commenters here. Sign up and start posting dammit. I need new people to argue with.

Maybe women are put off by the tits thread, or the argumentative nature of the site.

There are plenty of ta-tas on X.

I think that FarmersWon has them terrified of being raped by an Indian.

Welcome new users, and remember, Patnet is the original style safe space. Use ignore on the boring and anything else that annoys you.

Tits don't help for sure. I've grown out of that phase of life. I know women that actually like seeing tits. Rarity though. Wife is passed out now (ran 20 miles this morning), but I could rip her shirt off and fuck her. I don't need porn. Free speech guy, but I'll use that speech to say it's pretty juvenile to look at naked women all day.

I will say it's not super argumentative here. Does it happen, yes. We have a few hissy fitters that piss off. Women just don't do this format. They want to show photos of their kids and what they're doing. I give no fucks about your family. I'm raising my own kids. I don't have to brag online about average to below average kids. They are what they are.

Welcome @MelSmith

We're glad you're here.

Welcome @Rose77

How did you find this site?

Hmmm, @Juliawww there were a lot of registrations lately, maybe robots.

Are you a real person?

I saw it on a TV show and didn’t know anything about it.

I don’t quite understand how it works so I might not even stay on it.

Well, we're happy you tried it out anyway @Rose77

You've already got the hang of it.

Which TV show, @Rose77 ?

Sad I wasn't welcomed, but happy I wasn't suspected of being a bot.

The bots are real here at times unfortunately. Patrick hates google, I don't blame him. The weird lettering bot box to prove you're a human might help with that. I don't know those services though, I know google is the major one.

You are welcomed though. Semi moderator here, but I generally don't touch flagged comments. I am an ass hole though if you cross me ;) Joking aside, welcome. Some new regulars would be awesome. If you hang out I swear a lot. Just a warning. Maybe you've already been lurking and already know. I know some of the slightly or more religious users don't like it. They take it in stride... I think?

I lurked and stole memes for a while first. There was one guy I really wanted to /ignore though so I signed up.

Lol, that's great! Never occurred to me that someone would register just to be able to ignore another user.

And thank you for stealing memes! They are meant to be stolen.

Let me guess. That was me.

Welcome @ConservativeT22 !

And welcome to @conservativelady too!

I suppose I cannot know about the effects of the cheesecake thread, but I am going to say it's not because of the "argumentative nature".

I have been observing and participating with this site since the real estate focused days. I say this place has done a really good job. Interactions are mostly, relatively, constructive (and not uncommonly informative, funny and entertaining). I do not remember this site ever devolving into endless, insufferable flaming, from barely literate troglodytes, for example.

Tell me where a person can find better.

@Kep Thank you!

Let me know if you see a way I can get the site more visibility.

Welcome @mwhite949
