The couple that I looked at seemed deader than this one.

I think the problem that anyone has setting up an alternative to WP is that hard to get members to stick around whilst its building up the volume of members and posts per day.  People generally seem to want to go to an already thriving site with a huge number of posts per day, even if the  majority of these posts are dull.

And there are corners of WP, which are of interest
to people. It's just so damned spamful. Needs more
moderation - but that's not going to happen. So, it
ends up being like a kiddie land, in large sections.

Here, the spam's not too bad, mainly because of
the small size. But how many god damned "how
have you masturbated your cat today?" threads
does a site need?

Which site are you saying has those threads?  ???

WP.

WP.

I've not been on WP for about 4 years now.
Title: Re: other forums
Post by: Calandale on May 10, 2007, 04:13:31 AM
It was probably better then.
The heaviest moving shit is
the spam - and it's all of
the cat masturbation variety.

That and the more topical,
"are you like this too?" threads;
as well as the perennial pity party.

Ah, I'm not in a great mood - I'm
blowing work off, and blaming the
lack of proper distraction for my feelings.

Yeah. I really wish my connection had
stayed down. It's just too tempting to
waste my time on the net.

Even then it was developing a pity party feel about it.  I think sometimes the pity party stuff is useful, I suppose it can help people feel less like freaks, unfortunately it seemed like a lot of people were never leaving the party and I don't think that's helpful in the long term.

Well, to be fair, the only reason I was upset
about my post was ragging on that aspect.

I used to really try to help a couple of people,
but I've pretty much become callous to the
whole thing. That, and the couple that I was
most worried about disappeared. They were
in situations where they were being controlled
and forced onto drugs, and could feel their minds
being eaten away. Everything that I hate.

There was also a guy in Iraq, and no one
else seemed to have any sympathy for him
at all. But a lot of them are just in there every
day, posting how "they're bored" or some such
crap. Hell, I understand, but I just don't have the
tolerance for it. And give them any advice, and they
immediately shoot it down, neither trying nor looking
for their own route.

I think people sometimes just want telling that they can't make things better for themselves, its much easier to wallow than it is to get off your arse and do something about the things that suck in your life.  If people want to wallow, let them, but can they at least be honest about what they're doing?
Title: Re: other forums
Post by: Calandale on May 10, 2007, 04:41:33 AM
I guess. I just don't have the energy to care now.
I was getting something out of it, at first, but
burnt out, pretty fast.

Now, I pretty much just get on to see whether
the place is imploding, and to make a few comments
in the adult section - hole of xxx topics (hah!) that
it's called.

I got some fun taunting a couple of members who
didn't seem to realize it, but one's disappeared,
and it gets boring insulting those who are too
self-centered to even realize that they're under
attack.

Nah. I rather liked the game, at first.
It's just that it gets boring. Not as
bad as just flaming though. :plus:

well i just go to take the piss out of people.
i dont know if they notice either.

I get a kick out of it, when it's
done with some style. But, the
clueless just keep walking into it.

And we're not talking about picking
on the weak of mind here. Just so
damned unable to see how they
fall into it.
Title: Re: other forums
Post by: Kosmonaut on May 10, 2007, 05:33:52 AM
its hard to distinguish who the weak of mind are.
i avoid the severely affected and the kiddies are too easy.
but good for a laugh sometimes.
i will try to watch a movie tonight though.

I know. It's not enough though.
I need to avoid the net entirely.
Unfortunately, I kind of need it
for my work.

You claim to be fat. You are close to my age.
If I went for a male, it would be some slim
little androgynous thing. Preferably without
a penis.

Nah. I'd probably do all the holes, if it were a good
job. Might even fall for the little thing. You've got
me fantasizing now.

Uh...I did. Made it clear that THAT wasn't the kind of board she was
looking for. Might be my kind though, few enough people that my
masterful spamming might take it over. Though, frankly, it just doesn't
seem worth it.

I can't, but i can get some idea from reading the posts.
and even if they are 'severley affected'; well if they are giving out abuse or mockery, i figure they can take it too.
i think this is the main point; my bad choice of words 'severley affected'.

Well see, that's what I mean. Am I meant to answer yes or no?
Does severely affected mean not able to type?

I could have written utter crap and everyone here is too nice to say anything. If they did say something nasty, maybe they know I wouldn't get it anyway so they don't bother..... And who are "they" anyway?

Think I'll stop now. :: nervous laugh ::
