This forum has the potential to understand what others go through and offers an education to those who are seeking a 'relationship'...

I'd definitely have to agree with New Believer on this. The advantage to a message board forum -- as opposed to a dating site -- is that over time you can read and absorb what someone else is saying, and thus you can get a much better sense of their overall personality. So, over time, you can figure out if they're someone you'd actually like to know better, even if its only to become online friends.
And let's face it: most dating sites are a "hit and run" situation at best. They're specifically constructed to showcase a person's most positive points and do it in the quickest way possible, which ALSO means they consciously know that they're trying to HIDE a person's biggest shortcomings. Plus, toss-in the fact that most people at a dating site will bend the truth a bit about certain things to seem more attractive, and you've now got an equation for things going sour pretty fast.
On the other hand, sites like Adult Friend Finder are actually MORE honest than the average dating site. That's because a sex site like that makes no bones at all about "who" is meeting "who". Basically, everyone there IS looking for a fast hook-up and some immediate sex. So if that's all that you're after, you're better off just admitting it to yourself and going for it.
