    Hi Chronic,

    As other members have mentioned we don’t post just for points, majority of us actually don’g get points from the forum. We post because we can offer advice to others or have questions ourselves and are happy to help..

    We have a lovely little well BIG group on here that are always so helpful.
    Welcome and hope you can join in the fun with us! 🙂

    Not guilty,! welcome chronic you stirred us all up. Ha ha!

  • 5 yrs, 12 mths ago

    teehee, that’s a cheeky open line!

    Welcome! And I hope your future posts will be really thoughtful, or not…

    Hey Chronic: I was quite unimpressed with your opening post! Other members, much more polite than myself, seemed to set you right, so I left the matter.

    But,

    I appreciate the honesty of your follow-up post. An honest mistake was made, but now you’re here! This forum has a very strong sense of community.

    I don’t know anyone from the forum in real life, yet I feel like I’ve got many close friends here. We’re a mix of women from teens up to seniors; some are students, pensioners, stay-at-home mums or professionals, from many different cultures,

    Stick around, Chronic!

    I think we can safely say we’ve turned this potential frown upside-down!

    Chronic babes, welcome to the fam-a-lam!

    Hi Chronic 13
    I’m fairly new too. Perhaps read some threads and see how close these ladies are. They all care about each other and I’m a bit disappointed that I’ll never get to meet them. Some posts and reviews are clearly and disappointingly all about collecting points and doing it as quickly as they can. But this site is about helping each other not just helping yourself.. Perhaps take a back seat for awhile and regain your confidence.

      Well I know you are a newbie Okatko but I`ve seen you around in the forums and that`s great. It is all such a learning experience in here navigating all the articles, forums and from what I can see, you are doing great 🙂

      I`ve never met any of the members here yet I feel like I know them from just chatting in here. You never know Okatko you may just get to meet them some day.

    • 5 yrs, 12 mths ago

      Hi Okatko, yes you are fairly new on here but already your name is familiar as you join in the forums with questions and responses.

      It’s not about meeting us (that might be a disappointment!) as we do get to know you on here and many members prefer their anonymity.

      Unsure where you are from but members have formed friendships with others in their area and keep in contact and sometimes meet up. It’s a leap of faith for many of us and it takes baby steps and as commented on here, others have been stalking or circling the forums before taking the plunge.

      And then we have our times when we disappear from here as our life takes us elsewhere or we need a break – but it’s not forever.

      So contribute as little or as much as you like – I think we’re a friendly bunch but we are protective of our safe **h(e)aven **on here.

      This reply is also for Chronic13 and I feel that other members have eloquently responded to you. I’m pleased you came back on.

    Hi Chronic 🙂

    At first glance, this might seem like just another beauty website to someone, and unfortunately, we’ve had quite a number of spammers creating threads in our forum recently, so I can understand that that might create the wrong impression for a new member.

    Although there are a mass amount of members (I think around the 150,000 mark) there are only a fairly minute number of very active members on the site here that contribute regularly in the forums and articles, etc.

    These active members are of course very close, and consider beautyheaven as their second online home. As TheUglyDuckling said before, we’ve documented many ups and downs together on this site, every one here is very supportive of each other and it’s not just a beauty site.

    As you can imagine, no one likes seeing a points racker, so I’m sorry things started out on the wrong foot for you. I just want you to know that it really is the more the merrier here and the other members here on this site are always friendly to genuine members. So please don’t be afraid to jump back in on the forums.

    beautyheaven is an extremely rewarding site to be a part of, in the literal sense, but also the type of reward you can’t swap points for – being involved in a wonderful community. I hope you can feel at home here, Chronic.

    So beautifully said, TUD xx

    Chronic, do jump in and chat with us, we’re always happy to welcome members into our wonderful and sometimes crazy family 🙂

  • 5 yrs, 12 mths ago

    How beautifully said, TUD. THANK YOU!!!! I don’t need to add any more to the other comments except to say how our regulars are special and part of our lives. It’s wonderful when new members join in and respect the bonds we have.

  • 5 yrs, 12 mths ago

    Chronic, if anyone will be able to understand where you are coming from, it’s a long-term member. We don’t want you to feel excluded, which is why we’re sharing this with you. We (I) definitely want you to feel a part of this absolutely amazing community.

    I hesitated joining the forums for the longest time and was admittedly a bit of a stalker, watching and reading the e-conversations for ages before I eventually joined in on an existing thread. It was members like Meedee, jatz, misfortune8, IndieAna, Trish, Petal, duality, Kassalee, Kats, PinkHornet, ray_jay, iGilded, anne, Emma… and my 2017 Elfies! the list goes on and on, who have contributed significantly to my personal journey of self-discovery and growth.

    The site itself may be about beauty, but the forums are a sorority (and a fraternity for the few) and we support each other in a very unique but special way. Together, we have gone through births, deaths, marriages, separations, divorces, trials, trivialities and other types of tribulations. We share silliness, information, gags, positivity and overcome negativity. At the core, we do it together.

    I want you to feel welcome. We simply don’t abuse this precious privilege BH has given us.

      Oh, Duck! I`m touched! (In the head, but that`s another issue!)

    • 5 yrs, 12 mths ago

      Aww thanks TUD – I saw my name up in lights then along with a few other beauties 🙂

      BH is the best

    • 5 yrs, 12 mths ago

      TUD You have a wonderful way with words and I am certainly glad that I have had a small part to play in your journey as you and your posts have had on mine.
      Just like you when I first came across BH I was more a reader and would hang in the forums just reading and laughing along at some of the antics. I real time I am someone who will often sit quietly in a group and just listen to others….its how I learn. I dont know what it was that made me make my first post but I do believe that my first post here was to thank someone for something….its so long ago that i cant remember what.
      BH becomes such a big part of our lives and the reason for that is largely because of the wonderful members that take part in these forums.
      Oh and you are right….its is a privilege to be able to take part and be included in BH.
