Mistress Ayn & Mistress Kiva,
I think I said this before, but it is worth repeating: I can't believe many of the people over at MF who are legit, respectful, interested in real discussion and information exchange, just come over here. ESPECIALLY since this site was redesigned to look and perform like MF. I don't get it.

I rejoined MF under this name and domina.ms a few years ago to find out what was going on in today's scene when I was contemplating an active reentry into the scene. MF is a shell of what it once was with mostly subs there and a few Mistresses contributing. There are also few of the flame wars or attacks of the '98 to '00 period when I was originally on the site under a name I have long forgotten.

Mistress Kiva, oh yes when "Max" was involved and Mistresses had active pages on MF, the site was well moderated. I joined in '98 at the request of Empress Dominique of NJ, to comment and extoll Her virtues since she had a page there.

At some point the Empress gave me permission to serve Mistress Persephone, originally from L.A. I believe, when she visited to NYC. Naively I posted a review of my session with Persephone which was mostly positive, except for a couple of things that occurred that were disappointing to me. Well... the Empress ordered me to post an apology immediately because, mostly, it reflected badly on Her since I was Her property. And I was told to ask "Max" to take down the post. I did as I was told and the matter was settled in a day or two. (I then decided NOT to do anymore reviews.)

That situation was quaint versus what has occurred in the years since MF has had no moderators and, in the past several years, almost no active pages by Mistresses on the site.

I agree with what you wrote.

I'm still there, because I was there in the early days.

To me, nostalgia is like candy. A little bit brightens your day. More than that it makes you sick.

Sadly, many of the on-topic posts there are nostalgia for prodommes and sessions of the past.

I think we all tend to look back with rose coloured glasses. That's what makes nostalgia so powerful. It's only the best parts of our lives remembered.

Completely true.

It can also be depressing when you realize all that is talked about is the past.

Very true. It seems like the majority of posts are either nostalgic or complaining about how awful the scene is now, which are different sides of the same coin. The pandemic hasn’t spared professional domination. The fall out has been profound. I think it’s still possible to have a great time doing this though and hope to continue playing for as long as I can.

Yep.

It is depressing living off of the "good old days".

I hope people there go back to having experiences in the present and talking about those experiences.

Probably doesn't help that some people chased the women away be being insulting and ignorant.
