Great discussion, lots of intelligent points made eloquently, plus the usual spear-chucking and chest-prodding as the testosterone overflows once more on UKP.
I've contributed further up this thread, explaining why I'm still a zero-reviewer. Right at this moment I'm recovering from an op, so I reckon I'll be raring to go in about a month. In the meantime I browse UKP, add anything which might be of value to the odd thread, and most of all look for comments and reviews about girls from my immediate area (Wakey / Barnsley).
Just an average punter, happy to have found a resource, and grateful to the Admin for setting it up, as well as to (most of) the quasi-admins who help to police this place voluntarily.
If I had one wish, it would be that the veteran posters are just a *little* nicer and more welcoming to first-time posters, without getting the suspicious hat on so quickly. This doesn't always happen, but sometimes I do read a post from a newbie who gets jumped on (usually something around 'use the fucking search, that's what it's there for'), and think to myself "Christ, that was a bit harsh....".
There's a slightly bullying approach to newcomers on UKP which I found a little off-putting when I joined, I'll be honest. Certain long-time members on the Yorkshire boards, where I spend most of my time, have a swagger which verges on self-importance, and I think that's unhelpful. Others are brilliant, of course, so as with all life it's swings and roundabouts.
I have maybe a dozen punts from the last four years which I could post a Review about, but I'm not 100% sure that any of them are still available, or easily findable. I'll look into that a bit, and will post a historical one if I'm sure that the WG is still around.
