Like that totally real “17 year old” who came in and started a thread soliciting advice for how to prepare for her totally real 30-day jail sentence. And if memory serves, we currently have a “totally real” 14 year old who seems compelled to mention their age in every thread, just to let you know they’re totally real. And 14.
Someone that age is much more likely to turn to ChatGPT or character.ai for life advice. About the only way I’d start off on the “believing it’s real” side is (tip for future trolls) if they specifically mention they’re here to talk to real people instead of AI.
On the other hand, my 12 year old likes to hangout on Pinterest and tumblr, also places not really known for their youth culture.
I ducked out of that thread after reading half of the original post, because I’m too tired from having the same argument irl. (Of course here “too strict” often means “won’t drive me 1 mile to my friends house even though I have perfectly working legs and an electric bicycle.”)
I ducked our after reading half of the initial post because i thought it was a troll. 
The 14 year old was banned when they initially posted because they were too young, and returned after plausibly meeting the age requirement. I think they are real.
How they found this place is a mystery, but then, it’s equally a mystery regardless of whether they’re a legit teenager or a troll. So it’s no evidence one way or the other.
What if they’ve always been here? A ghost, haunting this forum like a malodorous article of clothing???
I mean, sure, well done… you have identified a male teenager’s sock.
…which has most definitely given up the ghost in some cases.
What I’m thinking is they are a student fulfilling an assignment for content creation storytelling and engagement. Find an online community and drive interactions. List was provided by the course instructor.
Like the Yalies who wrote and tried to punk Dear Abby and her readers. Am I remembering that correctly?
Brand-new poster Cobi just joined 45 minutes ago to grace our presence and regale us with the tale of how he was caught masturbating, by reviving a 12-year dormant thread on the subject. Turns out, he was spied in the forest by a young woman who was so impressed that she invited him back to her house to continue the proceedings.
It’s amazing how new joins, whether 14 years old like the previous one, or this new one, are always so full of incredibly fascinating tales. What a world they must inhabit!
The crucial question is: why should someone masturbate in a forest? Ok, if you’re out camping and you feel the need, but then please seek the privacy of your tent.
As an avid DA fan back in the day, I remember that. To my recollection, the Yalies were her former classmates.
Because if nobody is there to hear it, it doesn’t make a sound.
Maybe they have a dryad fixation.
A forest is a great place to get wood…
But what if he’d use both hands for the deed?
What’s the sound of one hand fapping?
Bout to call me Father Nature
The kids call it pineconin’.
(Not really, though who knows these days, maybe they actually do.)
It reminds me of a poem by Poet Laureate of the West, Dalton Wilcox:
A cowboy is a lonesome man
There’s none more lonesome in the land
He rides atop his only friend
His horse, a companion on whom he can depend
His woman may be miles behind him
Sadness and desperation may find him
But a cowboy who’s wise will turn to the earth
To lend him solace and even mirth
The earth from which all beauty springs
Such bounty forth she always brings
He’ll dig a hole with cracked, scorched hands
Pour in all the water that hole demands
Until that earth is moist, just right
The earth’ll never put up any kind of a fight
His cries of joy no one will hear
In case I am not being clear
I’m saying that cowboy is going to fuck a hole in the ground
We all do it, that’s what I have found
Any cowboy that knows that lonesome hell
Can fashion a land virginny well
If a cowboy’s seed worked like other seeds
There’d be cowboys growing across the plains like weeds
