Building a Community

Yeah I suppose, but people always say I'm negative and shit but I just think it's funny, I mean c'mon, would someone rather see me say

A) Haha funny shit (like everybody else)
or say
B) Thats the not-funniest piece of shit I've ever seen in my fuckin life. (like I always do)

I'd be lying if I said A.

Its natural for one side of your personality to overshine another part, its not saying your only good for one thing its just your mostly noticed for one thing, especially on the internet.

yeah but abusing of being negative is not a good thing too.

The point is you can build a name for yourself on this board other than by making jokes on our block. After all, people like Illuminattile, myself, not really ken, Jurhum, Calcuo... etc are far more well known from our beginnings in WoW.

Not Calcuo, but I agree with your point.

 

[Amara]

Not Calcuo, but I agree with your point.

Thats where he started, everyone was like - damn this new kid with the strange name is quite intelligent ... but he ruined that reputation later with all the freeposting. lol

The way I remember it, he started off pretty versatile. He'd make posts in WoW and in other forums. You, of course, noticed the WoW ones.

Edit: What I mean to say is, he was simultaneous. He didn't stick to just WoW in the beginning, as far as I can remember.

One sad fact though is that for females to get noticed, they just have to post a pic - dont even worry about posting, that doesnt make a difference. lol
Take for instance, Elmira - interesting, intelligent girl, doesnt post a whole lot but has been around a while and despite being very attractive hasnt posted a pic. Meanwhile someone like Suzy, hasnt been here long or posted very much but has posted a pic and has been noticed so much more.

thats so true. if you're a girl and you dont post a pic, you're totally ignored. i wouldnt be where i am i think if i had not posted pics. now i fell posting pics was one of the worst ideas i ever had.

 

[Diaz]

Yeah, I agree, if a woman doesn't post a pic I think she's probably ugly, that's just the way it is. But hey, that's what everyone does to me too. "HEY YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE YOUR PIC UP CHECK THAT OUT MAN YOU'RE PROBABLY UGLY zzzzOMG".

yeah. but it's worse for a girl than a boy here. tons of boys here dont have there pic up.

Come on now. The board is just reflective of how society is, was, and will be.

You can't blame SiGh and Taliq for that, who were probably Suzy's first buddies.

You think GhettoStar would be writing you poems if you didn't post your pic?

 

[Diaz]

Yea, in general it's worse for girls but some guys do still get the same "abuse"... it's mostly people that can't really bring up any valid points in an argument that resort to the "YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR PIC UP FOR A REASON YOU DON'T WANT US TO SEE YOUR UGLINESS LOOK AT ME I HAVE A PIC UP FUCK ME".

Well why dont you post it up and shut them all up instead of bitching that people do it? And dont give us that 'oh I dont have some', we know you do

He's shy...Just like Mikey was for a long time.

Well, lol, I'd much rather have someone say something like: Amara I respect what you have to say than Amara, I like you coz of your pic.

and that's true

Well, back then, no one had digital cameras, and I didnt have a scanner. When I said I didnt want to post my photo on here, I didnt send it to other people either; Diaz does.

Anyway, who gives a fuck about photos, thats not the point of the discussion. Photos dont make people assholes, although perhaps they may explain why someone is an asshole, but, they are still assholes, and thats the issue that needs to be dealt with. And no, I dont just mean Diaz.

 

[S O F I]

Well, lol, I'd much rather have someone say something like: Amara I respect what you have to say than Amara, I like you coz of your pic.

But, you don't acknowledge it. Could be for a couple of reasons:

1. Don't want to come off as snobby
2. Compliments are nice
3. Tell them what they want to hear

Am I close?

 

[Diaz]

and that's true

What are you saying is true? If you're saying what's in quotations is true you better just go to another thread and keep cracking not funny Mark Deez jokes.
