• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    "Trans"-ferring. Hah.

    I'm not applying it; the population is. I'm stating what is, not what should be.

    I sure hope they do. I tend to get my first impression from the avatar, though, and it takes some time before I'm used to the person with a "manly" avatar being a woman. I suspect that some others do as well. But seriously, Grimdour, good luck with this, and I hope one day you'll be able to...
