Is this place enjoyable in the long run?

I haven't been on here for very long, I think approaching maybe a month or so. I find that I like reading through posts, but I can't really think of much to add or post myself that hasn't already been said.

And when it comes to messaging on here its really hit or miss, with emphasis on the miss. Every time I have a decent conversation going it usually just stops and never continues as if they forgot about me or they were just done with me.

So I'm sitting here, without having done anything on this site for probably over a week. And I'm thinking, how do people come on here regularly, year after year?

I make friends by responding to posts and comments on posts. Not much interested in messaging, I prefer public interactions. I can almost always find something to say. And I try to make sure to let people know I appreciate their posts by at a minimum leaving reaction emojis.

Same but with one exception. I've a bud I've known for years on sites that have collapsed and we PM about sports and the like. Snooker mostly.
@rinkydinkydoink It’s great to find that kind of connection. Definitely adds to the enjoyment of the site. I’ve had that in the past but guess I’ve been lazy/reluctant about wanting to cultivate any new PM pals.

I, too, can do without it. Bad experiences and all that...
@OlderSometimesWiser same, I'm more the ' lets just talk in posts ' person. Talk to a lot of fun people this way
@Bexsy Well you’re the party lady. We just come to you!! 🎉
@OlderSometimesWiser I got the mardi gras beads to hand out! 🥳
