what does 'adult board' mean?? I hope it has a different meaning in the US to what it impplies under UK parlance!!

"adult board" refers to discussion of intimate human interaction. If I'm not doing "it", I might as well talk about it. I guess I could have / should have ommited the type of board.

I dont know, the youth of today - I have just spent the afternoon wandering how and why the phrase 'circle the wagons' has relevance upon an 'adult' site

my mind is boggled

Gryphin, that story is the essence of what's wrong with America. We've got everything backwards. We have forums specifically set up to freely talk about sex with total strangers, but you can't say anything that's even remotely politically incorrect. (Now I'll probably get Banned for implying that something is immoral.)

Getting back on topic, I notice that my # of Posts is almost equal to my member #. Coooooool!

Growltigga, you have a good point, what the heck, does "circle the wagons" refer to, hmmmm, don't ever remeber hearing that one before and I've been on this earth awhile now, now my curiosity is up and running every which way, I think some studious scientific research into this is called for to,ahmmm,aa,hmmm, to facilitate information for purely the most scientific of reasons of course...

Back to topic, I don't understand why the number of Posts means so much to some people on the Boards? Its a nice touch, along with various ranks, which only means that they have been active in that forum and gives a little boost in morale, but some people really are/get hung up on this and I mean realllly hung up. Don't understand it. I like the idea but not to the point of ghosting/etc to boost my numbers. makes no sense, oh well, maybe its my age showing

just some ideas mac

Hmm, Sociology, Defensive Tactics, and Galactic Conquest. I guess this is not too far Off Topic.
"Circle the wagons" Historically was a form of defense used against bandits / marauders and such. Used in the colloquial it means a group of people banding together to support or protect each other. In the case I was referring to, one of the participants on that board used the expression to explain the actions of the group and its response to a perceived "attack" on them. Someone else "corrected" her because that was how wagon trains of the settlers in the "American West" would defend themselves against the Indians and it might offend a Native American. Side note: The spell check in MS Word capitalized “Indians”. Go Figure.
