What is the possibility of a subforum with an upbeat tone, where jokes and lighthearted banter might have somewhat of a chance of surviving amongst the "feminist barbarians are at the gates" type misery ridden mra's? I have every reason to be bitter and i understand anger can be healthy, but mostly aren't we just preaching to the converted anyway a lot of the time? 
 
I don't mean meaning being divisive, I want to tackle debatable issues from a different angle. Shit most(feminists) of them don't post here, they just read from the shadows anyways.

Hi SouthernGuy  - Interesting idea. Let's start a poll and see if others are also interested.

I am interested to see how this would work

Speaking of reading from the shadows, Dr. E....do you have any way of knowing how many people read this site in comparison to the number of posters?

[outdoors]

ya! seems like there are more visitors than members

It's probably the ONLY contemporary issue in wymming's studders.

My guess is that there are about ten times the number of lurkers as there are members.  We are getting about 200,000 pages read each month so we are making a small dent and it is getting bigger.

I like the idea. We can't be all doom&gloom and hope to recruit new members. I am guilty of this myself. I know alot of posters here have had their lives turned into a living hell with the family courts and the momentum the feminist have in the West; trust us brothers- we are right there with you, although we can't solve all of men's problems here. Dr E has put together a solid bunch that have their heads screwed on straight. Dan Lynch (MIA) turned me on to this site from the MND boards a few years back. Once again, I like the idea. A definite green light!

i am not sure how i got here anymore.I remember looking for answers,and this is where i found them!Sure was good to know that i wasn't the only one thinking the way i was thinking at the time. With all the locals telling me i had issues with wymyn-i learned from here that "ya i do"and its ok for me to stand my ground and the ppl on here have helped me tremendously-Thanx

i am not sure how i got here anymore.

I was banned from John Kerry's '04 presidential run message board for mentioning men's issues and asking a few softball questions. The fems in the ranks were appalled that anyone even questioned some of their age-old assumptions.

Dr. E invited me here after that as far as i can remember. I love the place and read frequently, I also live in New Orleans and with the Bradley bill and the hurricane, add that up...

Anyways, I feel like a lot of times on a grassroots level, I get more people interested when I approach mra topics from the point of view of a guy having a few beers with his buddies, not the divorced shill for all things anti-feminist. I find it often dissolves the tension and gets women interested too.

Now, I admit some could say a "locker-roomish" sub-forum might trivialize mra issues, but I think thanks to Dr. E the serious discourse has a solid foundation in the main board.

Thanks all...
