What a lovely thing to do. How romantic (and kinky)!

But after years of feeling 'alone' it has been great to read the pearls of wisdom on IC.

I look forward to getting out and meeting more people in the flesh at some point.

In the meantime, thank you for letting me share in your thoughts, experiences and lives.

I dared to try and dom a dom in the chat room. I know NOW that one's just not meant to do that, but I'm very bad at following rules

We've been together a year and the journey just gets more interesting, and the foundation of our relationship more solid.

There are a lot of intelligent, thought-provoking posts admist the dross. There are also some tear-inducing ones, some that make me belly laugh, and others that make me angry. I "stalk" via my bookmarks.

Chartreuse sums it up for me:

Since getting together with Topman, I've also made some lovely friends from here, and I enjoy the general chat on the boards and the weblogs.

The only downside for me is the loss of Off Topic, which I think devalued the site irrevocably. But it doesn't look as if Admin is going to reverse that anytime soon, so I enjoy what's left of the site.

..and through it I met someone very very special to me.

Thanks IC .. and Jahc for starting such a nice thread x

I am ecstatic and without IC I doubt we would have met

I came, I saw, I concurred

A while ago I was grumbling about not being able to find any more of the steel bars, like the one I use as a suspension rig, and for dancing on the ceiling. I think originally it was for a Fetters suspension body bag jobbie, a friend has one very similar which came with one of those.

Then out of the blue, a mail from a chap who does metal working, a quick exchange of memos, and a few weeks later he turns up at the door with a finished item, what a star! A nice chat about this and that, and the guy just gives it to us, gratis, free and totally for nowt. Just how kind is that?

So, another friend made, and I hope we get to know the man and his Missus better as time goes along.

Totally chuffed with that, brilliant, mate!

So nice to read such a post even if not aimed at anyone in particular.

I have been touched by the kindness of people within IC. I came to this after a break up and thought I would try for 2 weeks and here I still am.

I have since become a regular correspondent with some people which is lovely, and hope to meet with them in due course. I am not an easy person to get to know but I have had a lot of fun building friendships within here. I always try to make time for intelligent and articulate people.

I find it an extremely nice and comfortable place to be and in the last few mins just received a memo with the simple words 'good profile' which I find uplifting and helps me to realise I am doing a few things right then.

One of these days I will drag myself along to a munch. I am much more likely to be hiding in the shadows of a club where I do not have to talk to people. It is not that I am aloof, as people in r/l tend to think, but as David Lee Roth once said just a shy boy.

Space travels in my blood. And there ain't nothing I can do about it.
I know I'm being used, that's okay cause I like the abuse.
I can resist everything except temptation.
It's always funny until someone gets hurt and then it's just hilarious.

Now IC-mates form the core of my friendships; they're the people I'd much rather be with, and it was through IC that I discovered CCK where I first met my partner (even though he doesn't remember that incident - long shall it be known as the "Cake" Encounter - DanceswithPussycats and Romola may recall ).

And because of IC I got to find out about Munches and got to play with lots of people.

Thank you, IC! (Nice one, Jahc)

Misscreant and I are totally happy, in love, D/s and quite sickeningly romantic.

Take heart, it can happen!
