Mass exodus?

[Gopher Gary]

It's the nature of I², and the personalities that stick around. For some it's only fun for a while, and after that while it stops being fun and becomes something else entirely.

For me this place can sometimes seem down right nasty and exceedingly unfriendly. Very unwelcoming indeed. I can only imagine what it might seem like to someone with a similar personality as like me who doesn't have history with the site...

Not saying I² should change or anything silly like that, just that it's good to be aware of what I² is and isn't, and it isn't the most welcoming of places, so getting new people to come here is always going to be hard, and every member that leaves is going to be sorely felt.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OMG YOU'RE BACK TOO!!

There's two kinds of people here. There's the kind who think about putting me in their butt, and the kind who think about eating me. Which are you? 

Not me.  I wonder if you have a sibling so I could have a nice pair of fur shoes.

Yes, you too. 

  Gonna make me some Gopher Stew

Why not both?

I don't know which to do first.

Masticatory Masturbation or Masturbatory Mastication?

That's nasty to you? Such a sensitive little flower you are.

   

 So says the odeot who sinbinned me for creating a ficticious, satirical charachter.

                        

Yes, right. That's what you did.

And you're still butthurt about the sinbin. You really are sensitive.

[mdagli1]

Let the baby cry. Eventually he will drown in their own tears. Haters gonna hate, just let them kill themselves over you. It's entertainment that ain't funny.

I remember about 7 ish years ago there was another AS forum set up that had some of the older calmer WP members on it like Sophist and BeeBee. I liked it there, of course I couldn't help trolling so I ended up leaving because I couldn't control myself and stop annoying them. I can't remember what they called it though. Edit - it was called Gestalt and is a dead link now

[renaeden]

Gestalt was great in its day. I learned quite a lot from it. Wish I had access to it though, there was a thread I made (others did too) about me and autism. I would have liked to copy the information to my computer. I've lost two blogs too. Just hasn't been my luck to keep things online.

oh I wish I had put more effort in there now. What kind of things did you learn there? One thing I remember about you, is you making a thread called "I'm a not very smart autistic". I felt the same way.

Haha, vaguely remember that thread. My view is still the same. I still haven't found anything that I'm particularly good at. Tried my hand at computing, I mean autistics are meant to be good at that, right? Not me. Mediocre at best. Very interesting and fun though.

I started going to uni to study psychology while I was regularly posting on Gestalt. Couldn't fault the encouragement and well wishes I got from people on there. I learnt stuff about the brain, how it works and autism differences. Wish I could just go on there now and pick some threads that would be interesting for you to read, because my memory isn't that great.

yeah, all my aspie friends my age work in IT and coding, I've tried to do library courses but I just get bored. I'm sure I could force myself, but I'm never going to compete with someone who finds it as naturally interesting as I do literature and travel (for example).

I'm still not sure I know how to explain to myself how my AS feels. I think a lot of it is I just don't care about group fun, like when people at work are singing along to songs in silly voices and stuff. But how much of that is just me being a grumpy sod.

you used to like sci fi TV a lot didn't you? I'm watching Babylon 5 for the first time this year.

[renaeden]

I was wondering if you worked. What do you do? I hope to have a job by the end of this year.

I do like sci fi. Really looking forward to the second season of Discovery. And apparently some other Star Trek is going to be made too. Babylon 5 is excellent. It's been a few years since I watched it though. Ivanova was my favourite character.

[Tom/Mutate]

at the moment I just do menial jobs in a sports staduim - carrying equipment around and serving people etc. It's a pretty grim/shameful job sometimes, but my life situation is ok in that I get wages and an apartment on disability. It's a bit embarrassing doing it in my 30s though, and I don't really like the sporty atmosphere (everyone macho) sometimes. I haven't seen Discovery at all yet, really want to though. I don't have a tv streaming thing right now.
