Old Friends

Post by Sanj » Sat Jul 31, 2010 9:54 pm

To all members,

I have contact with some forum members but got caught out after the site crash losing personal contact info of fellow members. If you can get in touch with an old member please do. I intend to get hold of alfamale but don't know details for Lez! Couple of other members too...

Basically, spread the word and if u feel u can pass on contact details, do so through PMs. Oh and save them away from the site!

Without wanting to put a downer on things, please do tread carefully when getting in contact through other forums. I speak from experience that other forum admins can get pissy with people "spreading the word" through their forums... Not saying don't do it, just saying be careful. :D

Totally agree, I was thinking more along the lines of having established contact away from forums. A number of us have each others phone numbers hence being able to spread the word. I know Lez/ITBarbie (Jig, sort it) wants to be here, just wish I had their numbers! Along with other members I know, will ho through my sent mail tomorrow.

Yeah, just saying, coz in the early days of the Z4 forum a few of the founder members PM'd others on other forums and the admins/moderators of said forums "found out" and banned them.... No idea how they "found out" though, I always thought the "P" stood for PRIVATE ;)

Saying that, it sounds like you guys were looked after on other forums in a way the zed guys weren't... so hopefully there won't be quite so much trouble

17 years old and had her for 15. Never selling her, that is for sure. Stored in a dark cool dry garage.

Very appropriate for this thread, "Old Friends" :D

The 2 forums we have been using while we were homeless were very helpful and accommodating so hopefully we should be ok contacting old members.
