Then I've misinterpreted your point, can you help me out?

I want to understand the fascination with bumping, threads being on top, threads containing your name etc etc...

Thanks!

skysidhe · 04-15-2006, 01:16 PM

Have a good weekend too!

@ jinx

Although I don't frequent that board. I don't believe that top is regarded as best. When I was there my threads or those I commented in could be at the top for days with just the kind of stuff flint and I were going through. Noone liked them but it becomes sort of a feeding frenzy Something to relieve boredom.
Same for clone threads. If there isn't anything of substance then you try to find a clever alternative. I have done them too but since there is such wonderful depth and substance here it isn't really necessary and seems silly and childish.

Why not go there and make clone threads? Doing it here is like driving your brand new bright shiny car through a mud pitt.

Just my opinion. Not written in stone anywhere as far as I know

lol I think she called me a cow :P mooo

Also when you have a bunch of the same usernames doing the same ole stuff it makes the host site less unique. If I wanted to be at AG I would be there.

I think all that talk about individuality should be taken to heart. Let's all be individuals while we are here and not acting like 'the borg'. Let's not assimulate or try to assimilate another sites behaviors and ways into another site. Let's respect the individuality of this site and it's members.

I have high hopes of fun and learning from many wonderful and separate personalitys that are on this site. I wasn't looking forward to the waters being muddied and having it looking like AG.

Bringing same usernames and habits as a group into another system is rank and nightmarish.

sorry

We don't have site stats on AG, and they mean nothing to me here, nor does posting often mean I like "seeing my name in lights". It's only a message board. Everything does not flush through AG in minutes. How would you know? Good posts last, boring ones don't.

If thread display is ranked by activity or recency, obviously you do. In a smaller pond like this one, you have the opportunity to convince yourself you're a bigger fish.

I "understand" it just fine, nor do I have a problem "accepting" it...at AG. I already know 'way more than I care to about AG just from the blather about it here...and based on it I have no desire to go there. Folks who do enjoy the AG style should go there and enjoy it. I just think having The Cellar swamped with it just because AG's become a word flood would be a tragedy.

I feel no implicit collectivist obligation to "accept" stuff I don't like. So go examine your "inner self", mine's doing just fine, thanks.

I'm pretty sure that everybody on this board just sits around waiting for me to post one of my witty witticisms.

I could be wrong.....

As for your poll, this forum is very much listen first, egalitarian, support others, anti-attention whore, ... Very much in contrast to the flame-everyone FC-spinoffs that I was used to. Very much better here.

I can recommend several existing communities that already use rules closer to your own. Why bother the good folks here?
