This reminded me I need to change my avatar. I'm a real female, by the way, and have been around the boards since Sept 2005. I began exclusively in the RP sections but after a year or two I got distracted by real life so now I'm pretty much just in FB. I try to get back into RP periodically when life slows down.
Now off to bend my fox...that sounds dirty...

I started hanging out in the friendly banter and media forums during a GB week (07 or 08, not sure I think someone was getting married), so yeah, confusion was pretty constant for a while. And, I'm gonna go on a limb here, but I'd say that the male-centricness of the rpg forums is mostly due to
a: Total population (as in, world total)
b: The fact that the forum is about 3/4 mechanics to 1/4 rp, and from what little I know about female roleplayers (I've met a few in the flesh actually) they tend to prefer rp over mechanics and optimisation.

Don't be silly! None of you have genders! You're just faceless text, representative of an anonymous and amorphous whole! I'm the only one of real importance because I'm the only one who I can prove exists!

Welcome to life on this forum. Half the time I don't even look anymore. The understanding that there might be white text is like IRL, when someone has a really good deadpan but you've known them for years so you can sense the sarcasm.

But I'm not listening to it now, only last night

Actually, I think most people live in tropical or sub-tropical areas. India, Indonesia and Mexico are at least the most densly populated places, aren't they? And they're all pretty warm all year round, aren't they?

Eh, except for that it's just amateaur (HOW DO YOU SPELL THAT?!) Aussie hip-hop. I'll see if I can find it for you, though.

Serps:*Amateur, and no, you shouldn't do away with the original. Otherwise how will we know where the meme has come from?!
Actually, on that note... my broomate recently decided that aussie hip hop was not completely bunk the other day after some song about black dogs hit his intertubes' radar.

Nah, see, bra, it's so that the vehicles don't get jealous of human women getting attention due to having primary and secondary sex characteristics.
...Plus we just like depicting nude women, for some strange reason, as we've been doing it since we had caves.

Their are girls here. However at certain times of year some people gender bend including some very prominent forum members that i will not name aloud. *points at Cobra Ikari. Points at Serpentine. Points at Vorpal Tribble*
I suppose it's just that time of the year for them.
Don't kill me! *hides*
Anyway, I am a male, and I am not genderbended. So I am all real, and all natural.
(Yes, I'm aware that the phrase should probably not be applied here, but screw it, it sounds funny. )
I suppose it's just that time of the year for them.
We like to refer to it as molting, really. I'm too busy contemplating the essential mysteries of life with beard and life without beard and what beard and not-beard truly are.

Should I go with my meat puppet or my processor (artificial sexless abstraction)? Also, if meat puppets, do we count original bodies (male grown into neuter female), all bodies (male and female), or current bodies (male)?

Waitaminute, are these good, recently brushed teeth kisses? Or typical boy "I only brush once a day and forgot this morning" kisses? Because I think I should know before...
Aw, crap.

No! Because Europe! And, and China!
Seriously, like I said, interwebs access is much more popular in places like Europe (gets really cold, even the warm parts get rainy and dark, ya?), North America, and Japan. Add in that these are the places where people are most likely to speak English (Australia again excepted ), and, uh, yeah. I WIN!
I mainly just felt the need to justify my argument more, did not mean to be arguing in a serious manner with you. Thread is way not serious enough for that.
I now return to our regularly scheduled silliness. Ni!

Plus, like, stuff we can't even mentionname it's so board-unfriendly. @_@
Like, Nameless for instance. ??? accounts for the vast majority of traffic you know.

There's a fair amount of feemales, as far as I've seen.
People just tend to assume they're male, either 'cause a) they don't look at the little gender thing or b) the person doesn't put the little gender thing on.
Welcome to the Internet, where the men are men, the women are men, and the little kids are FBI agents.
