I was introduced to this site by jo AKA marshlander.

I was going through my email folders this morning and decided to have a clear out. I'm one of life's hoarders (Or should that be whorers!). I came across an email from marshlander from the 23rd March 2009 when he told me about this place.

At the time I was far too busy in a new job building a centre of power to take over the uiniverse... as it happened I got bogged down in paper work and... well that's another story.

I used to be a prolific poster to the gay.com forums but they were heavily spammed and the site admin was too concerned with protecting the delicate sensibilities of one or two individuals than clearing up the site of adds for pharmaceutical drugs (Some dangerous and addictive) and er... Pet Coffins. I found my self at war with members of an outside commercial organisation who regarded me as threatening their interests on that site One of the site moderators was also connected in a roundabout way to that commercial organisation so it was little surprise (although very annoying) that he moderated in favour of his friends.

A few of tried to warn the site admin what would happen. Members were deserting in droves to another chat site which constantly had to add new servers to cope with demand. But they wouldn't listen to their membership. Now they don't even have chat rooms or forums... In fact I don't even know what they have any more.

I like a properly moderated site, a place were people feel comfortable to post anything that's on their mind, safe in knowledge that responses are genuine and well intended. This place seem to be it.

I'm looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting stuck in.

If anybody needs me, I'll be in my bucket!

This is definitely the best gay forum I have ever posted on. People have given me valuable advice and I truly appreciate that. I'm still going through a rough time right now after my ex left me in suspicious and mysterious circumstances. Yeah I feel it's mysterious, because I still do not have a clear cut answer on how and why we're not together. There's some things that I know why and how we're not together, however I still do not know for sure how it all adds up. It almost makes no sense. I will never know what truly happened and I'm pretty much through with checking up on him. It will cause more grief and people on this site I have given me advice about the subject matter that I'm talking about. If my ex for some reason does find this forum for whatever and if he's reading... sorry I may have told somethings that may or may not be true.

Anyhow... this forum is the best gay forum on the world wide web. I am dead serious on that. This is 100 times better than the last gay forum I was on. I originally signed up as a straight person, then I totally came to terms with my homosexuality a month later. Then I came out to more and more as time went by and then I eventually changed my sexual orientation to gay in the field on that forum. That forum was not good at all and I will not say which one. It was such a restricted site and sometimes you were censored there. I don't see any censorship on this forum. This forum has some freethinkers and open-minded individuals. That's one of the best aspects of this forum, the open-mindedness.

I will continue to post on here for quite a while. I love the support and advice I've been given here. It is really great. I'm hoping to read some more great posts in the near future. I know I'll be posting more and more in the near future.

I want to say a very resounding THANK YOU to all who i have spoken to on this sight. Though i have only been on a few days (not just on this sight but on the net as well) I feel i have made some new friends some thing that was lacking in my life. I may have to change my name to Mr. Notso Lonely lol

I was looking for a gay board to express my difficulties as a gay guy. Yes, I have gay friends but sometimes it is easier to express few problems and also gay issues anonymously.

I found a gay board called Realjock but for a strange reason, it's no longer working. I continued to search and eventually found Gayspeak.

I love the tone of this board and its members. Wise, welcoming and friendly. I don't feel like a stranger even though I am technically still a newbie in here.

I think I'll stick around for a year or two. Probably longer.

You are both always welcome, as we were, ourselves, a few years ago. I think the quality of the members sets the pace for the rest of those who want to join. Be kind, sincere and non judgmental and you'll be able to help people through some tough decisions and tough spots. It won't make your life perfect, but it'll ease the anxiety, maybe the pain, maybe the isolation and loneliness.

I've enjoyed making virtual friends with you Mr (not so ) Lonely and Jay... and so many others. My friends list is brimming, lol. Keep up the good work and the respect between us all.
to all.

I honestly do not know how I found this site, However, I am certain I was searching for a gay porn site and this came up. As, I had never had a desire to join a forum gay or otherwise. But, boy, am I happy I did. You may not be able to tell, but, I am on here EVERY chance I get, I still am lost as to why this site is so magnetizing. I just think it is amazing. it truly has a community type feel. The people are amazing--all of them. I love the level of intelligence in the debates, issues, games and jokes. It just cheers the hell up out of me (literally). If I was a tycoon, I'd make it my business to see it here till I die.

Some 5,900 (almost) posts later and two years (almost) on this forum and it's still a good place to be. Affirmative action goes on here and we seem to get on pretty well together. There are a few who've left and that we miss, but they might come back some day. to all.

OK so it has been almost 2 months since I wrote my testimonial. I still go by what I said. This is the best gay forum I've ever come across. Yes, I'm still going through a rough time. I joined this forum back in August 15th and a couple days before I joined, things between my ex and I escalated (he posted an offensive song over on YouTube that was about me). Yesterday marked a half a year since breaking up.

Sadly, I have accidentally come across his new YouTube channel and found out that his old one was terminated. I'm extremely serious this time, I have not snooped on any of his accounts lately and I do not intend to unless we get back on good terms and work something out.

I noticed one trend lately, I see quite a few people leaving this forum. It's too bad that we never read their testimonials. Strange... but ya know what, I'm staying on here. If something strange comes up or whatever, I'll tell ya if I'm gonna leave. That's most likely not going to happen. Yes, this forum is really helpful and I'm glad reading other testimonials.

I haven't written a testimonial yet, surprising. Anyway, I've been apart of this site since October 2007... seems like ages ago now. I joined right when I was going through a really tough time with university and my own feelings. 3 years later, I now have a stable job, but the light of love still eludes me. Even though I vanished for nearly a year here, I can say I enjoy the people and the conversations here. It makes me feel welcome and accepted. Thank you GS.
