Sorry @dicentra, it's taken me a while to get to this.
1. What made you want to join SG?
As much as I wish I had some grand story about why I joined... I originally joined to see these beautiful alt women getting naked. My original purpose here was that shallow.
2. How much do you use the website in your day to day life?
I try to get on as often as I can, reading and responding to blogs and sets. But lately I've been kind of burnt out, so I haven't been on as much.
3. How much does SG mean to you?
Let's put it this way. Two of the people mentioned in the dedication page of the novel I published (The Ones Left Behind, you knew I had to include the link) are members of this site. Members, not models. Since my original shallow intent for joining, I have come to love the community I've found here. I've found and lost friends from all over the world throughout the years. Not from any kind of falling out, just because they decided not to renew and I was too dumb to get contact info. Some of the people reading this have had such an impact on my life, it's crazy. You all helped me to pick myself back up. You helped me push through and follow through on a dream of mine. You make me feel seen, loved, accepted... This place means more to me than it probably should.
4. How can you be more involved in the community?
By trying to more be like @fredhincanada or @dicentra I know a lot of you know what I mean when I say that.
5. What would you like to see change?
I would love to see more interaction. And maybe a return to member blogs being featured. I haven't seen any on the front page in quite some time.
6. What are the things that make you want to stay?
The people. The connections I've made over the years. The connections I will make in the years to come.
7. What content would you want to see more of?
You know what would be cool? Some kind of weekly, or monthly member feature. Get to know random user kind of thing.
8. How likely are you to come back once your subscription runs out? (For people who do pay, obviously.)
If I can manage it, I'll be back. My finances dictate that decision. If it were up to me, I'd be here until the end.
I know I've been away more these these days. I've fallen behind on messages, on blogs, etc. But I will try to be more present. I'm just a bit burned out from spending the last two months marketing my novel. I made it to 3 sales this month. I would love more, but I'm happy that three strangers decided to take a chance this month.

This is such a heartfelt way to answer. Thank you. Your answer to 4 🥹 I am honoured that's how you see me and Fred is a great guy, too. I really hope more of us can work together to bring more community back again. I like your idea for question 7. I think everyone should be appreciated here, I'd love to see more equality. Don't worry about not being able to post much, it's okay to just rest for a bit when you need to. You're a great friend. Thank you again. ❤️
