I'm back, for real this time! I just wanted to say 'hi' and post an introduction. I first came here briefly, several years ago during not such a great time in my life. Getting a bit better, but now I'm trying once again to make a meaningful exit from the closet, once and for all! Thanks again for all the help so far, you probably don't realize it but it's been huge, even though I wasn't very active before. Just knowing that this site is always here is just a huge, huge blessing. I will be on Coming Out and Later in Life. Talk to you there soon, PBB
Thank you Sunchimes! I hope my "out status" matches yours someday.. gives me the motivation. Thanks so much
Welcome back! I first registered almost a year and a half ago and just lurked for a long time myself while I was working through questions about my sexuality, and I’ll agree with you that just knowing there were supportive folks here was helpful.
PrettyBoyBlue.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome back to Empty Closets! Since you been with us before, you know that we do care about our members and we're very glad that you have come back to be a part of our family here on EC. We hope that we can answer questions, give support if you need it and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) when that becomes necessary! There are currently 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. *****When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership. *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! If you have any questions at all, you can post a question on my Profile Page or send me a Private Message. .....David
Hi PBB - Welcome! I am also relatively new to this site, and I'm only now starting to post things. I will also be on Coming Out/Later in Life, so hope to see you there!
