The number of new posts most certainly have declined to any and all of the subjects. Or is this just my imagine.

Yes, unfortunately there are only very few members who contribute to or start threads.
A pic can have hundreds of views and one comment.
More members have to contribute to keep the forum going.

I found this, I was posting pics and rarely got a comment. It always seems to be the same people. Perhaps the forum has come to its logical natural end. Also seems to be less people joining and more people aren’t getting involved. Due to stuff going on outside of this I do not have as much time as I would like. Plus with the COVID-19 pandemic perhaps people are focusing their attention and energy elsewhere.

What Spedoaddic said was what I was thinking too. Has the forum begun to fade away? Hope not. Time has become precious for a lot of us.

I'm somewhat in that boat. I've been checking in on the forum every now and then, but my heart hasn't been too into it because I just haven't been anywhere. My local weather is cold, no access to water/pools, and I haven't been able to travel anywhere in nearly a year with no plans for travel for nearly 6 more months. I haven't worn a speedo in such a long time that I just don't feel like I have anything new to share.

I hope not too. Perhaps people just haven’t got the energy and motivation to pop on here and leave a comment or start a topic. We will have to see what the next few months brings.

You have made a very valid point, due to COVID-19 people are not going out or feel like wearing their Speedos. As you also said the cold weather doesn’t help. Especially here in the UK. All very good points zaps. Nice to hear from you.

I had access to a community centre pool and I wore a different speedo each day for 10 days. But Toronto is back on a modified stage 2 and gyms and pools are closed. Sadly, nothing happened in the open showers of the mens changerooms. But the lifeguards (the females), always smiled at me - and I don't have the fittest body and I was almost always one of the shortest guys there at 5'7". I seriously wanted to make out with the lifeguards.

Pools are closed here and so is my gym (well - the gym is open but the pool is closed). Rivers and lakes are now quite cold, plus our lake beaches are closed due to covid. All this means not much chance to wear speedos.

I check in every 3-4 days lately, but like other have said already, Covid has closed local pools so I’ve spent more time at my local nude resort swimming in the buff, so not even my favorite thong is necessary. Thanks to the weather cooling off, most of my time in the buff is at home vs the resort. :-( So sadly that doesn’t give me any good stories or information to share with the group. Prior to Covid I was at the pool 6 days a week... Gary Majdell Ultra Greek 4 days, Desmitt thong the other two. Was kind of hoping to go for the thong and a third day, as the two I did wear it for were adult only swims. Soon as we can get life closer to normal I can’t wait to glide thru the water again in my favorite suits. Keep the faith people, we’ll make it through this. So will the forum.

I check it out regularly, but just don't comment on everything. There are loads of pics, and Id go there, but I just dont comment on. A like button would be good, there would be a lot more reaction with that! Same with a lot of whats written too.

I'm here on a daily basis. I really enjoy the group of guys that post here!! Occasionally I will post a couple of my own speedo pics, but they don't generate many comments. Makes a guy think, why bother. As I am typing this, the front page shows that there are 374 users on this site. It would be great if the lurkers got involved on the forums and contributed! I'm sure we'd all love to hear from some new members now and then! Keep posting guys!!

I used to love it here but recently things have changed, not sure why!!?? I did say in my last picture that I would not be back!! Sometimes it felt a select few would only reply to each others posts..... but hey ho there are no rules to say you must reply to all posts.
I do enjoy the site but like Scottiebum said I think more people should make comments even if it's just a to posts even if no text is written!!??

As mentioned earlier, my lap swimming in no more due to C-19. So not as much to share these days. Although I did manage to rock my speedo twice totally out in full public view (once paddle boarding a local lazy river and once after getting my SCUBA certification (had it on under my wetsuit so after class why not work on the tan right)) so sadly not much to add these days. I do hope we can all get our speedo wet more often.
I may not be doing much, it I’m not going anywhere.
