Thread: I thought this was a friendly board!!!!!

  1. #1
    I came here expecting to make friends, but all I am getting is bad assumptions and people mistaking me for being romantically interested in them. I belong to another board and everybody there has always been very friendly and welcomes everybody that joins the site, I guess I was wrong in assuming that would be the case here. I have only had one or two people that cared to welcome me and/or talk to me. I guess I made a mistake in joining this site

    read my post in your other thread.
    Am I alone here? Is that it?
    Am I the only one who sees.

    Maybe we can learn to be just like him.
    Wear a little uniform.
    Yes, sir.
    No, sir.
    Thank you, sir.

    We're all just having a good time. Relax. Come on in, sit down, take a load off. We're harmless. Mostly. Unless you're French and LPM finds out. Then you're toast.

    Sweetness,

    I can bring over my beer stein (no teacup for me) and sit on your kitchen counter if that will help.

    The Lonegunman - you crack me up

    in the other thread it is stated that people are only joking, can someone point out the humor in this. I have a fairly good sense of humor, but these assumptions were not put there as a joke. Tuvi didn't sound like she(?) was joking, they sounded more jealous. I came here to have fun, that's all

    I think you just caught the good folks around here on a bad day. I've only been posting for a month now but I have been watching this site for a long time now since lpmiller does all the news posting and demands constant attention!

    This is a great group of folk unlike any. They are here for you! Our form of "humor" tends to confuse some but if you stick around I think you'll make some good friends here. Hell I think mojo and cruelpupet are great to chat with. Pennypinch, wellfareloser,oblongmelon, and TheHappySqurel are just a few other names off the top of my head I can think of that you would get along with too. I don't mean to leave anyone out here for if given time I could list off about two hundred folks that are all great!. You had a ruff start but give it time so you can know us and we can know you.

    I think that people here are generally pretty laid back. In one thread they may be making fun of your or angry at you. But in others, they may be your best buds, who knows. Maybe if you ignore them the bad ones, they'll go away. Haahaah.

    yeah yeah yeah, i know this thread is directed at me. all cuz of one post? sheesh. get over it! i'm not jealous of you at all, and why would i be?? it makes no sense! i said what i said because of the way i thought you came across. so maybe it was wrong and premature, but it was my opinion at the time. i got the impression, like you said, that you're not very shy. it was just weird how you were saying that passwird isn't your type or whatever. (yes i know it was a joke)

    so that's it. you don't have to and get all worked up about everyone on this site just cuz of 2 sentences from me. i think you're taking this whole situation way overboard. i mean you even started a new thread about your unpleasant experiences with ONE person! and you keep talking about it. "oh i'm so sad. all i wanted was a nice internet community with friendly people, but TUVI is so jealous of me! how will i ever go on after i've suffered through such traumatic experiences!!" yes, i know that was exaggerated, but you can give it a rest too.

    oh and btw, welcome. there, i'm the third person to welcome you to this site. but the number of people who've welcomed you shouldn't cause you to freak out and think that everyone here is like me. haha. what do you want, a huge party? not everyone is welcomed, so i think you should feel special for getting 3 welcomes. but anyway i'm not really like what i've been like recently either. i just haven't slept in like 2 days straight thanks to a huge lab report so i'm just in a bad mood or something. basically, you just seemed to be like an airhead so thats why i said what i did. now that i think about it and reread your posts, i dont think that and i dont think i should have thought that. but i'm just telling you my line of reasoning. so just take a valium and lets be friends till the end. travel down the road and back again, your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidante. (btw that was from the golden girls - i didn't make it up. just trying to add some of my sarcastic humor.)

    Hey Sweetness welcome to G|A. I hadn't said hello to you yet because everytime a female joins the forum it seems like a bunch of G|A male members swarm her, trying to get the hookup. I'm not saying that it happened with you, which probably shows that this board is growing in maturity(probably not though ).

    Any any rate, welcome. G|A is a friendly site where you can pretty much talk about anything, even deals!

    Cheers!

    Its supposed to be Cruelpuppet, but when I registered that name on AIM (5 years ago) you were limited to 10 char so I dropped a "p"


    As for the origin of Cruelpuppet, he is a character from one of my favorite game series.

    ZORK

    No, im not talking about the new ones, I'm talking about the old school text adventure. First time I played was when I was five years old, and I learned how to use my Commodore 128.
