I agree 100% with JT and Drake8.

Writing is hard.  Most don't even try.  I appreciate those who try and publish their efforts here. 

Thank you to all of the authors who have graced these pages through the last couple of decades.

I've just had an email from Martian Boy, who used to be a member and wrote some stories here. He no longer writes due to abuse he's received. He still looks at this site. He's looked at this thread, and told me it can take several days to write a story about a catfight.

Martian Boy's quote:- "When a person tells me about a fight they've watched, or in a couple of cases, they've been in a fight themselves, talking is one thing, but writing it down in a descriptive way, is far from easy. Some people who attempt to write about a fight, suddenly find out, the fight can be written down in a couple of sentences. Hardly riveting reading. Try describing the women's reactions when they are both pulling each other's hair. Try describing the way a woman is crying, when the fight is over. It's not easy. Well done to those who have even tried."

I don't do any chat, but you can PM if you need to.

It's not the fault of those that do a good job running it.

We had older members who contributed a lot when I joined this about 13 years ago.  They moved on, died, have other things in their lives to worry about.  I would say that the younger generations if they are even into catfighting/wrestling as much, do it by other means.  Message boards are more boomer, gen X, early Millenial (I'm borderline Gen X and Millenial).  Chatfighters has a lot of younger members, but their tastes are different than us old timers - seem to be more into cosplay, furries etc mixed with fighting.

People have no idea how much effort it takes to write soemthing even halfway decent.
