HHplace died (pitifully as some could not keep OUT of the Womens forum*)

so why not keep the Heels 4 men thing?... there is only about, er 10 Genetic female posters left....

*ok so that problem has been fixed...

It was a conscious decision among us moderators to make the site available to all. It was also a conscious decision to keep males out of the girls' forum so that they would feel more welcome and comfortable here. This site is open to minors too so we take active steps to keep the site within what you'd expect for a maximum of a PG rating... (It can be a struggle at times LOL!).

If there is anyone who doesn't like what's posted here then why not start the kind of thread you would like to read? This site is only as good as the people who post here!

I liked the old site, and I like this one. That's reason enough to resurrect it. We might not have many female members, but we'd have a sight fewer if the site was called "heels for men".

100% agree with you Chris.
I appreciate all the work the moderators, past, present and future do for us in the running of this and the last forum.

So, here's a big thanks from me, keep it up!

Good Morning Everyone -

I wish men were as socially excepted in heels, as women are.....

Having said that, I have to express how I am feeling now...

While I am aware that I as a women, am in the minority here on the forum, and also aware that I am the majority as exceptable by society...

I am not sure if it is because I am part of the minority here, or because men don't realise the struggle a women here faces...I feel like I only "belong" in the "for the girls section", that my opinion and the opinions of the other "10 or so genetic" female posters are not as important, unless a specific question has been asked of us....

I need to tell you, that being an understanding women of a man (I live with) in heels, is NOT easy, while it may not be as difficult as the man himself, it is still difficult. While society would like to strip and flog men in heels, they are not very excepting of the women who support these men. We are all too often thought of in a negative way.....

When I first came to the forum, I felt it was a place of understanding, a place of growth, a place where we all, as like minded individuals can learn from each other....

There is one place for the girls, and one place for the guys, the rest of this forum should be an open and comfortable place for anyone with or without feet!

In future, I ask that we all be mindful of what and possibly whom we may be stepping on in our heels....

Thanks for some fine feedback and some thoughtful comments.

My one piece of advice about what other people think - I found out a long time ago that I can't help what others think, so I've got to be me.

It still is isnt it, or did I miss something here?
As far as I am aware, everybody is welcome here, feet or no feet, as long as we dont all tread on each others toes!

You're welcome to post anywhere on the forum. The only issue we had was with men posting prolifically in the women's area and driving the women away.

That's the only restriction, as we've never had an issue where prolific female posting in the guys section was driving male members away. I think the occasional post by females there is quite welcomed by the guys.

Feel free to post wherever you like!

I would bet that a female posting prolifically in the guys section would draw men in droves.

TXT-1 -- you sound as though you wish HHplace had died. I most definitely disagree. It was dying, slowly, on the old board. It was mostly being drowned under a tsunami of spam and most of the women left but it was not dead. And now, I get a feeling that it has been re-invigorated.

I like the board, I like the interaction between members, and I think it has a lot going for it. HHplace was not resurrected but it did get a makeover -- much for the better.
