How has VEF been of benefit too you

[bawjaws]

a real benefit
A forum where we all suffer the same pain seeing the Page 3 girls we once fantasised about are now considered vintage
A forum where, when a pretty girl is featured, the first question asked is not "has she done anal"
A forum where I seem to be not the only person who hates women with tattoos
and a Forum where we all talk to each other.(well sort of..)

Apart from the superb filth (of which I've hopefully made my own small contribution ), the other thing about VEF is the General Discussion section, which has allowed me to vent about my football team (Walsall FC), share info about films I've seen and books I've read and some political discussions that whilst they may become heated, are usually conducted without trolling (or if trolling occurs, the member is dealt with rather sharply).

In fact, the combination of friendly (although opinionated, and on the whole respectful) debate and top-class filth is what makes VEF a top drawer forum.

Add me to the list of people proclaiming "I came for the porn and stayed for the people." This is one of the very few forums populated by respectful, friendly people. Kudos to all of you. And thanks for all the...err...art.

I have read so many great posts and truths up to this point thus far, and it would be rather difficult to add to, or to further elaborate on what has already been said ... in doing so would just be repetitive (and the Mods frown upon that --LOL)
Instead I will quote those famous and true last words spoken by Dorothy in the final scene of The Wizard of Oz, "There's no place like home!"

When 'Streets first started this thread yesterday I read only one response from our friend Mal Hombre. I decided to sleep on it before responding as I was too drunk to do it justice. It looks like this could turn into the most successful thread yet, three pages in 24 hours A fitting tribute to a cracking webite.
I have to thank rotobott for stealing my thunder.

They were the EXACT words my inebriated brain composed last night.
I've downloaded the porn, so why haven't I walked away? It's all you guys. The content attracts an older clientele who are usually more moderate in their responses so there's not that nasty edge you encounter elsewhere. I spend most of my time on the GD&N forums and it's nice that when someone disagrees with me, that's all they're doing, not entering into a point scoring fight.
You'll see above I've emboldened the letter 'A'.
I was once a member of a forum where a grammar nazi would have seized upon that mistake, detracting from the issue I was hoping to discuss. I wrote that not everyone has the benefit of a good education or English as their first language although all have equally valid opinions. They didn't agree. Academic snobs who've isolated themselves from a wider world view. I walked away from them and cancelled my subscription.
When I first joined VEF I was struck by the loyalty of its members and you all know why. VEF is a keeper. One thing that tickles me is that my profile says I'm a senior member, even though I've only been here four months.
Undeserved flattery but nice nonetheless.

vef has benefitted me in many ways, like finding details and pictures of models that i didnt once believe i would ever find and also the general discussions and the comedy thread which i really like partaking in and having a good laugh with other members of vef,

[exfarmer]

After losing the job i loved through injury i then sank into depression. I also tried to find a release by dabbling in some of the so called legal highs available on the internet (now Banned). I sank into a very dark place.
Now obviously I'm not claiming VEF bought me out of it, but a combination of a great family, good friends, doctors, and the good people i have met on here are helping me to get a bit better.
Coming on here a few times during the day and joining in some of the discussions in GD&N made me feel i wasn't at home alone all day. Threads like Three Words That best Describe You etc gave me a laugh.
I have met some great people on here and hope to meet many more by being an active member of the community. Oh! and of course there is the porn the films from my youth (70's 80's) and earlier is so much better than the nasty sometimes violent porn of today.
And of course there is the Gail Mckenna thread i was in love with that lady on page 3.

IMO, the best reply on here
I was similar while I was separated

Good luck exfarmer

VEF is a release from the shit you have to put up with in everyday life, ok you get some shit here - but its not real

When my dad died two and half years ago, i was amazed how the members of VEF supported me and offered so many words of comfort, people who I could pass in the street without ever knowing. Family problems still persist for me, and the messages ive received from Mods and Members have been the reason why I use VEF as my escape.

When I have a bad day at work, I just log in and go on a posting frenzy, you see VEF makes you want to contribute, its our community and we try to make it the best that we can.

Oh yeah, the content posted aint too bad either
