I definitely think that girls are what bring guys out of lurkerville. I also totally understand why the girls here have curtailed the posting that used to occur. There are some sketchy people that have weirded some of the girls out. As for the "serious" posts, I think they are ok. It's what is weighing on the minds of people right now. Everyone just has to remember that opinions are like assholes and everyone has one (and if shasta gets ahold of you with the rubber fist, you'll have a huge asshole
). That said, I think it's just slow right now. I guess if there was a way to prevent people from accessing/downloading vids and music until a certain post count is achieved, that might work too. Of course, that could also run people off.
