...it just often seems like I'm the only one posting.

11:54 PM 10/2/09 · The base idea of a community is to make something interesting so that when the moderator's not posting themself, members tend to take up the slack and fill the time between with their own stuff appropriate for that place.

These are the 15 places I'd like more posting members to join:

Random: posts are big
Theme: comicbook art

Theme: a community for avid photographers
Bio: A photobug is someone that takes pictures simply because they can, often has some kind of camera or something that can take photos on them more often than not

Origin: turned over to me by the previous moderator
Theme: Place for LJ folks to meet and hookup
Bio: The idea is for people to posts casual sex type advertisements for themselves to meet others and fuck like bunnies.

Origin: turned over to me by the previous moderator
Theme: Who on livejournal have you had sex with?
Bio: There's a number of questions on the profile you copy into your post and answer.

Theme: A fetish fashion community
Bio: Nudity is not allowed...but latex is inherently see thru so that's okay.
Typical posts: Models or photographers posting their fetish work, people posting fetish outfits on models they find impressive.


Name: Sexy·Swimsuits
Origin: made by me
Theme: Shots of hot women in even hotter swimsuits
Bio: Other than a "no mesh" policy, posts of women in any kind of swimwear. Nudity is not allowed but so long as nipples are not in view and the crotch is covered...that's fine here.
Typical posts: Mostly single image posts, LJ·cuts only required with multi·photo posts. Shots of men happen on occasion but only in humorous ways.

If this was somehow unclear, though I can't imagine how, these communities are all not work safe. If you're a member of one of these communities then you'd best use the friends filter (Clicky!) It really is your friend!
