Thunder et al, should we start a Clamper's Forum?

Seems to me the number of clampers and related questions have reached a point of critical mass … what do you think?

No.

Wow, a curt answer. Well, I’m sure it’s for the best. Dangle

Clamping is the easiest girth exercise. It’s also the best IMHO. I’d like to see it.

But there is a reason this is called thunders place, so look to the last post for your answer.

Yes, I believe THunder has a good reason, though he is being a bit coy. Perhaps it has to do with the dangers of clamping, which are considerable. Newbies (or even vets) jumping in with too much enthusiasm could really injure themselves badly. Despite my gains, I am still wary.

Ts right. Clamping is way too new, experimental and probably dangerous. I get a lot of PMs from newbies about clamping and X-Ulis. I probably should have kept all this clamping stuff to myself. Has anyone heard anymore on Mike2002’s clamping injury?

No we shouldn’t, it’d probably be a bad thing :(

Not so much the “danger” aspect, but if we keep adding forums, the Main Forum will be dead. As popular as the stretchers became, we didn’t add a forum for them and it worked out OK.

On the “danger” thing, I still would like it if we made an effort to steer newbies away from clamping before they are ready for it.

Ohh, that’s easy T, how about an advanced forum? (:

We thought about that before. The problem there would be how to keep the newbies out. They see something that says “Advanced” and they will say “Fuck this beginner shit, all the gainers are in the advanced forum, I’ll start there”.

Yes, I see, that would defenitely be a problem. I was mainly just pulling your ligs. :)

I think at the end of the day each member should assume a little responsibility as far as posting things newbies can see. I try to do my part by not outlining all the things I do or try for the sake of others safety, can I have a button? :)

How about blocking access until they’re members for longer than 3 months or so ? If they say they have Pe’d previously then tough shit, they aren’t coming in.

That sounds good in thought, but there are members who created an account more than 1 year ago and say they are just now starting PE. It would be hard to know about honesty just by join date.

How about a Password protected forum, where Thunder chooses who can join in?
