People

You guys are just going about this the wrong way.

You come off as whiny, needy, and self-pitying.


Of course we're bullying. And of course there would be a sense of being something of 'an old boys club'. That's normal for any societal group.


You either fit in or you don't.


Trying to force a relationship just doesn't work, since it basically requires a lie from at least one of the people involved.


It's obvious that you guys are having trouble mingling with the regulars of IB, for the most part. And if you guys can't handle the abuse and bashing, it's best to move on to other areas.

You are, essentially, new kids on the block- and IB is the wrong side of the tracks.

It's true that not everyone outright hates you. Just like a regular street gang- some will be content to leave you alone as long as you don't get on their nerves- others require little in provocation, and just don't like the looks of you.

But what is true is that you've little in terms of friends here. My own stance is neutral- a little annoying, but I see no value in either beating you nor defending you.

CTFG is the nicer part of the neighbourhood, whilst the comments in the doujins are more of the Downtown city square. The rest of the forums can be explored, too.

You may very well have better chances of meeting kindred spirits there. You're always welcome to try here again- but don't wilt and complain if we're rough. It certainly doesn't help your case.


TL;DR - Get out. You're not currying any favour here. Try elsewhere, and then come back once you've wisened up a bit. It simply ain't working.

If you'd know anything, I've been around and have talked to Solid several times. Out of all of those, I think he is retarded. So yes, I have formed an opinion and it falls in line with what a lot of people here think.

Also, you only bring that up to form a defense and get people to lay off hating on him when he fucking deserves the hate he gets.

Doubt it. These kind of people only think about themselves.

He does it purely for the sake of argument.

That's probably more likely the case. Can't wait til he tries his bullshit with Waar.

So that's how it's gonna be? Grow a thicker skin and post like the rest of us or fuck off until you do? Thats one hell of a motto to give to a new user slick.

Growing a thicker skin never hurt anybody.

In fact- that's kinda the point.


And it's not quite a case of bowing your head and conforming; We're not telling you what to post- just what not to post.

Setting boundaries and imposing a format are not the same thing.

Don't think that you guys are alone in getting picked on- we have Shinji, who's been here for God knows how long. A model shitposter who simply refused to leave- to the point where neg repping him became almost reflex.


Like I said- sometimes people just jive, sometimes they don't.

I don't hang out with these guys nearly as much, since I don't live near anyone and I don't use Skype, Steam, etc. but I get along with them quite well, because I'm usually able to determine when something can be interesting and funny to share, and when something is only interesting and funny to myself.

I also don't bitch and complain when I get neg reps or if people derail my topics.

Or take aggressive and irate stances against people and automatically adopt an "Us Vs. Them" attitude.

I was simply sharing my point of view and offering alternatives.

Your snappish reply is not helping your case.

That place reeks of passive aggressiveness and at times has it's own stupid little skirmishes.

Sure it has it's share of nice people. But it's a bigger circle jerk than IB.

True, but I think they allow others into the circle much more readily than here.


Although I haven't had much success in there 'sides from Circe's thread. And she abandoned that one with a slow waning away of Fakku in general.


Where do people go to hang out nowadays?

Steam?

More than likely they will act like you don't exist.

Also, I guess people hang out on:
IRC
Skype

Everybody loves a good circlejerk.

Also, from that argument, I'm starting to dislike that grizzinmypants guy.

That guy doesn't have an opinion of his own and just tells others to so they make up for his lack of opinion. It's people like him that should just off themselves.

sauce uncle freaky?

I think it might be Bingo Tart.

Sure. FYI, there's a video of it with sounds. I don't have the links anymore though.

Do you realize that's what we tell every new user that thinks they can just jump in? Because that's what we tell them.

Get out. Lurk more. Come back later.

What does you reading his first post have to do with anything though?

Why are you angry because someone didn't reach the same conclusion as you?

Also what's to say that he/she/it/(Ashened Sky) didn't just lurk before?

I doubt you like to "argue" due to your avi(more than likely the result of your anal frustrations of being put in your place in a different corner of the internet), but if you are going to do it, at least "argue" for things you can prove.

I don't know what this means, but I like it.
