Uh, Oh. I've been drinking again
You know the worst thing about getting links from forums?
It's actually participating in them.
Really. I've been hanging out in some forums, chatting around here and there trying to get some links in signatures and it's been terrible. Really, lots of people in forums are very unwelcoming. What I've found, is that a forum is usually dominated by a few individuals with like 10,000 posts, and as soon as I say anything, commenting or what not, they come back with really harsh comments. It's like a private club that doesn't welcome outsiders.
On one side, I really don't care. I'm just there for the links.
But on another side, Jeez, I'd like to add something to the discussion and they're not into it, because I'm not part of the club. Damn.
Maybe it's just that people speak more openly, more harshly in forums because they don't have to face the people to talk to. Don't know.
Anyway, forum here at WA is pretty good. Appreciate it guys.
Watching Silent Hill.
Lame.
I moderated a forum for a couple of years, and we had some serious jerks. I always figured it was because there was no accountability. Live in GA and rude to a guy in CA? Who cares, it's not like he's going to jump in his car and drive 3000 miles to kick your ass.
I don't know how many times I've met with guys that come out with one liners, like 'Don't post here if you don't know what you're talking about"...like they own the place.
What can I say, I'm a sensitive guy. Hurt my feelings.
