I've had this topic for the forum on my mind. I'm not sure how to make it sound, 'nice'. So here is a dose of my thought's, un-tamed.
There is something missing on the Bimbolands forum, that Miss Bimbo had. People who talked about themselves. A real sense of Bimbo Vanity. Shared stories, and not just thought fragments for a reputation point. I loved the Miss Bimbo Forum for this reason. I didn't always make friends with the players, but I did enjoy reading the story of their lives. I find it amusing the personal details people will post on social media like drunken moment's and other compromising photo's, but in the forum they feel that they must hide every emotion and thought from the world.
A forum is not supposed to be written like a meaningless tweet. I blame political correctness, and 1984 Orwellian "New Speak" educated youth. People who are afraid to have non-conformist opinions, and expose themselves to have human emotions. Everyone is afraid of opinions, so they have learned to just hid them and say nothing instead. Bimbolands was made for non-conformists to gather and make a nation, share idea's and still everyone is afraid to even try to be an active bimbo on the forum. I totally disagree with abortion, but I'm not afraid to talk about the subject. The fear of disapproval for having an un-popular opinion, should be left behind in the real world, as soon as you log into Bimboland's.
I look at our debates and many players now have some very good debate points written for their Bimbo's. These topics could be the types of conversations everyone could write about daily on the forum but don't. I'd like to know why, because I will reply to any interesting thread or subject or opinion. What is stopping you from using the forum more actively and openly? This is the missing ingredient that Miss Bimbo's forum had, and it's reasons for it's wild popularity. The Forum sustained the game long after the actual game itself was destroyed beyond repair because players still used it and found it a fun and drama filled entertainment. Believe it or not, other peoples lives can be very entertaining to read about. Almost as interesting as your own. So what does it hurt(?) to share with your fellow citizens what your thinking about or doing, in a little more detail. I started the Founders Inn and Pub, for this very purpose. A Story, like one you would hear from a friend in a Pub. Yes, my real life story. It's not very exciting, but at least it does remind me of the good old day's of Miss Bimbo, and what I loved about that forum. Reading and writing.
I remember a dance coach saying to me one time before a routine, " ...give'em something to talk about.". It works. The judges no longer looked bored after the first trick I did. I took a chance and risked everything because regardless of the outcome, people were going to be talking about me at the end of the day. Even a momentary failure could still open doors of opportunity for me.
People talk about people who get noticed*.
In Bimboland's this translates to, *WRITING.
That is how Bimbo's become popular.
