OK - that's interesting - probably explains why I'd couldn't figure out what it was meant to sound like :) The "Ha!" is something that English speakers write, but it's still a mystery to me!

On the topic of Forum Etiquette--->

Good question, Ephebo. I just adore the "flat-chested" look, on grown women. (And space-alien girls, who are definitely not human.) But, back on earth, in the 1920s, tiny tits were quite the vogue for human females, in that era of the flapper girl. As a young guy, I literally drooled over any documentaries about Louise Brooks, a sophisticated woman... a grown woman, with tiny tits, and perky brown nips. Search for videos about her at you tube. She was sooo elegant. All my classmates were hot for Hugh Heffner's bosomy, buxom babes. LOL! But I was attracted to scrawny, but athletic ballerinas.

And... to breach another sensitive topic... I am drawn to dolls because they inspire me to write romantic stories, somewhat in the "bodice ripper" genre. Yes indeed! Am I allowed to even mention that? ...or post erotic stories? Can you give me some guidelines? Right now, I am inspired by Anjou, at RealLoveSexDolls.com/158cm-b-cup-Anjou/. Is she not uniquely and realistically attractive? Do any of your forum members like to write, and share, erotically romantic fiction? Or am I in the wrong place?

So far, the only fiction that I can find, at your most fascinating forum, are stories that are vaguely comical or satirical. The dolls are posed in videos or stills, with comic book dialogue balloons, showing their conversational banter and inner thoughts. But all, quite dead-pan comedy.... no romance!

Hi 666, welcome to the forum. Yes, you can say "bodice ripper" here, and yes, you may post erotic stories here as long as, they have to do with dolls. You could post such stories in the Open Forum: http://www.dollforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14 Or the Batcave: http://www.dollforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=16

Maybe you'd like to read erotic stories written by dolls? Within the Dolls Alive forum, there is a sub-forum called The Blue Dolly. This was a very well received topic: http://www.dollforum.com/forum/viewtopi ... 25&t=54736 :thumbs_up:

You would need to upload the photos to a photo host, such as the Doll Album or whichever host site you choose, and then link to them with the "imgthm" button in your posting Full Editor. There's no way to thumbnail attachments.

Personally, I'm not even sure why quick reply exists, but a preview button there would just take you to the Full Editor screen anyhow, so you might as well already be there to begin with.

I don't know about the colour text codes.

We've had a large influx of new members lately and I think we could all benefit from refreshing ourselves with some of the unwritten rules of forum etiquette.
So, as it hasn't been around since it was resurrected by Slew in February it may be time for a look by a few new members.

As Vanessa puts it;

Definitely a good idea, no harm in being informed on proper forum etiquette!

tldr: ''I agree!''

Regarding Forum Etiquette, I was thinking about creating a poll to find out how many members special ordered their dolls with a real person in mind, whether it be someone they know in their daily lives or personalities such as models, centerfolds, porn stars or other celebrities, but then I thought about it and wondered if the Forum would incur some sort of liability if a member posted the name of anyone inadvertently, or on purpose! We have become such a litigious society and people seem to have such thin skins I thought I'd ask before I act. Without mentioning any names I, myself, searched for almost two years until I was able to locate a doll manufacturer who came incredibly close with a doll who's measurements and height were almost exactly the same as a certain men's magazine centerfold and "Centerfold" of the Year in 1997. I was also able to come incredibly close with a head that has a face very similar to her also. I always wanted to know what it would be like to be in the presence of this woman I considered a "goddess". Now I know! But on the other hand I know that a lot of people will settle for "any port in a storm", or want to create their own fantasy, no matter how outrageous that may be to others, but my motto has always been, "whatever floats your boat". I'm just curious to know how many others there are, like me, who based their dolls on a former lover, or personality. Thanks!

Mentioning that you would like a doll that looks like some celebrity is fine. But I wouldn't name a private person.

This forum is not a replacement for your personal diary. It is for communicating to others. When you have written something, ask yourself 'So what?' For example, if you agree strongly with a point of view in a topic titled 'Realdoll bum repair' and you feel the urge to say so with a reply that consists only of the text "I agree," look at it from the point of view of someone browsing the forum:

I disagree with the first part of this statement. From what I have read throughout this forum in my short time joining, 90% of the posts can be categorized as "diary" entries. Everyone is documenting their experience, and sharing their experiences with others. It's pretty much an open diary and from what I gather, is a safe space to talk freely about this hobby.

So yeah.. I entirely disagree with that part and whether I use the forum as a replacement diary or not, should not be considered "bad forum etiquette".

Please know that you are quoting a post from back in 2010, twelve years ago. Although some of the original post is still valid, some is outdated, or maybe questionable.

On this specific quote, basically it is not against sharing experiences, it is not against diary-like posts. It simply says think about if your message has some relevance to others -make your post meaningful. In that perspective I agree with the OP -but I'm not talking about good or bad netiquette.
