You're quite mysterious yourself Mr. Show up for 2 hours and then disappear for 3 weeks to 2 months. Lol
Yes, but if you subtract the reasons for most users appearing on this platform aka forum: porn, connections or "activity events" with humans, animals, them self (i.e. masturbating to mislead other users as example..), boredom, sexual restlessness or frustration, sexual curiosity and a few (lower %, surely) different aspects.. what's left?
For those which are true to their emotional and interest-based / fascination based form of living with animals? And just with animals, which reduces the chit-chat with humans to almost zero compared to those which want to find girls that first fuck their dog, then the horny nutcase (contacting user)..
There's not much reason to actually encircle the forum for longer periods of time at once, rarely are there "really new" developments or aspects to be seen, if one is (was is probably the better descriptive term, as nowadays it's just "me and my own interests / animals") since the 1995+ in the .nets and zoo-areas.
Much more neutral in that time, I have to say. But okay, it was fully legal without enforced or harming activities for the animals (at least this) then in crazy Germany - legal as in "one could be 14-16 (legal age of personal decisions in many aspects, as long as you yourself decided to actually start the activities, no need to be 18 to go around and fuck out - or vice versa - still it was a tricky and law-sided problematic aspect below 16, as it depended on psychological development if in relation to older humans (over +2 years of difference) and to start anything with animals (no matter if you were just 16 or above), as long as no animal cruelty took place and for sure: best-would-be-if-nobody-noticed-it.
And no, it was not less hated, there was just less social activity spreading over city borders due to almost nobody participating regularly in online activities, no "smart"phones of value for the description (okay, that's a problem which is still not wholly solved, but they proved to be excellent spying-on-people devices which those carry around with them self all the time even freely!).
It's all just.. Hmm. Let's say: The antisocial "social" Internet just made it ways easier for people to "fight others with their lifetime on blade's edge, while they don't have to do anything dangerous for them self at all". It made manipulation through companies, through bureaucracy, even just collection of information ways easier.
Not better, not necessarily. It's more comfortable to order something nowadays than to before 2005-2008, true. But it's not "better". Better would resemble a state of improvement, while most valued and respected aspects to that time actually experienced a grave downfall through "social" media which proved anti social in most cases, it proved to split people, create echo chambers.
Long story short: Nowadays I prefer to do something in the real world, even if I'm still heavily linked to the digital world. I just don't collect EXP anymore on game servers which shut down randomly (even as you could see a heart failure as the real life equivalent to this.. it's less probable that this occurs after some months to years because of greedy companys, d'Oh). I collect it in real life. I bear losses in real life. I hate things in real life. But I rarely let it take over a big time of my life time to fight those actually, as it's not deemed worth the value of my life time.
It's not ignorance either, just the greater reflection of "what is this?". If our sun shrinks and expands, nothing on this small planet will still be the same. Not one living being (no matter the amount of offspring) will survive those features of physical and chemical results.
Why should I deeply care about some online rant?
I can take the time and reap my own bio-potatoes ten meters southwards. As well as actually boil and eat those. It's a direct experience and it has a value - for me. It's something I like to remember. No matter how it all ends.
Value lays in the individual viewpoints and I don't follow some predefined bullshit lifestyles that occur all day, all night.
As such there's only a bit of time where I actually enjoy to be here, online - writing a few postings and disappearing again. And some time disappear forever. That's as well a physical and chemical feature, even if I hate it.
Well... I'd cuddle a vixen all day long if she'd let me. But I don't know if I'll ever get the opportunity or not. I still haven't decided on whether or not I'm going to try to get one of those "Russian domesticated foxes" when I eventually retire. That is, if the program, or hell, even the country still exists by then. Retirement is a LOOONG ways away.
If I were you (I ain't, that's why I am I), I would not wait or hope for any retirement. But just fuck that job up, cancel it and start a fox farm in some offspring country side? Who knows.
But if you value the profit through your job high enough (or need it fundamentally), then I can understand your retirement-plan.
Addendum: Ah, not to be misunderstood: the chapter regarding age was to clarify that at this time (and my age then) there were no legal represses for me to expect, as it was legally comparable to "going to a friend on own risk". Even if there would've been a "raid" or trap for zoophiles, they would've not been able to actually start any legal procedures, as nothing illicit happened. No risk for the people involved, (almost) no risk for involved animals, too.
As such it was easy to invite zoophiles or visit Zoo cons: nobody had to fear for legal hassle by visiting them. Nowadays there are more "trap wires" around the law concepts which could at least get used to ensure a lot of questioning, hassle, even surveillance and comparable. As such people got cautious.
