The beginning of the end for "Life for Two" according to the local shopkeeper

I really feel like moving all the heavy-hitting discussions over to OFF topic is basically the beginning of the end for them—it’s where they start losing their sense of purpose and why we even bother, and honestly, I think in the long run, it’s going to have the exact same effect on the Life for Two subforum too.

It makes me wonder, how is a newcomer—someone who actually needs a shoulder to lean on or some genuine support regarding a specific issue—ever supposed to stumble upon our topic if it’s buried way over in the off topic section? 😕

Not to be dismissive, of course, but I have to ask: what kind of logic are we using here? How is it that we don't belong on ZUD, yet topics like dealing with difficult in-laws, helping out parents, long-distance relationships, porn in a marriage, or even when a husband tells his wife she's mentally unstable... those kinds of things, which are individual struggles and often quite superficial or fleeting, are considered appropriate?
Are we eventually just going to be left with nothing but wedding planning and divorce proceedings?
There won't be any actual life captured in between those two extremes....😢

So, provided our dear Jose White18 doesn't decide to delete this thread on a whim, I’m asking anyone who feels the same way I do to please leave a comment to show support for "bringing back the outcasts, Jose White18 style." 😍

I find myself wondering about that too.

Is it just that one thing, or could we actually count this as a first, or maybe even a second, signature? 😁

Why aren't you filing this where it belongs—in the complaint book? 🤷

I mean, I’ll be there, posting on every single possible 😍
(Aren't you going to leave a signature? Or maybe just save it all for the complaint book?)

A petition for all us forgotten souls to make a comeback.
(two more entries—I've got two places I call home)

I suppose every single post counts as a signature, doesn't it? 😁

eureka, wonderful!
Goodness, I wonder just how many of us are actually hanging out here... 😍

Oh, it absolutely is. Honestly, it’s just a total disgrace—nothing but pure, unadulterated hypocrisy to try and shift the subject like that. 👎

I'm signing on too 😁

We have officially kicked things off 👍
Let's keep this momentum going!!!! 😍

I've arrived👍

Signature, things are getting a bit more interesting now that they're locking everything down 🙄 and now we have this reshuffling too. This subforum is turning into a massive bore; surely this isn't meant to be the blueprint for how Life for Two should actually look? 🤣

signature ☕

I’M SHOUTING IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS AND SIGNING MY NAME TO IT!

We’ve truly gone too far 👍
We already moved on from those soft blue hues and dyed everything pink 😍
Now, we're heading straight toward a scorching, fiery red 😂

Signature? I say let it stay!😍

Signature + let's make a little bet—how much longer until this thread gets moved, locked, or just deleted entirely? 🥳 Give it about 7 more minutes and it’ll hit the one-hour mark... 😁

Thanks so much, everyone 🙂
You guys are honestly wonderful 👍
