Fun Post

ricksang

This is why I can't get on board with SB (no pun intended).  I'm fully confident that I am mean and that I like being mean- no identity crisis here, biitches.  YOU CAN ALL SUCK IT! Oh really? B/c if I recall didn't she once say she hated FFF and that she hated being mean? What a fucking follower. I really wish I was around more. KIKI if you are lurking, be yourself girlfriend. It's okay, people will still like you. Being a b!tch isn't as cool as you think it is.

Right, I get that some people have always not been a fan.  But in general, up until about this week, it seems like they've been fairly well received, with people asking questions and trying to be the first to ask about the password or sex swings, and now most people are like BOO INTRO POST suddenly.  And I don't get it.

[QUOTE]I mean the tinychat, I guess, or the chats via facebook.  And it's not a matter of them being exclusive - like I said, I could join in them, theoretically. <strong> It's just weird to me to see an active discussion going on here, and then a parallel discussion of that very same discussion happening in a live chat.</strong> And then the chat conversation is done and gone, so if someone wasn't there, it's not liek they can come back & read later, like you can with threads on the board.   Maybe it's more of a "I don't get it" then a confession.

The conversations aren't parallels of each other.  The chat thing isn't a repeat of the threads on SB or vice versa.  I think people make friends on the board and continue that friendship IRL.  There might be some references to that frienship on SB, the same way people who have G2Gs together will mention them. 

I see what you're saying, but I think you're misunderstanding of what is happening on tinychat.  It's not an analysis of SB.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Fun Post : I fixed that for you. J&K doesn't get where the sudden intro thread hatred came from.  We get it.
Posted by J&K10910[/QUOTE]


I've ben thinking about this too. I don't think it's so much that intro threads are hated (at least not for me) as it is the way the intros are. I completely appreciate someone new coming in and saying hello, maybe a bit about themselves and having fun while answering some questions and taking a bit of ribbing.

What seems to be happening lately is people coming in, using the word "snarky" 3 or 4 times and claiming to be long time lurkers, while not being able to say very much about what they learned from lurking for so long. They'll also post right above a thread where a discussion about this has taken place and do just about everything posters have mentioned not liking.

I also think that after the Mica/Kat Eyes debacle, that everyone is a little bit on edge, creeped out and suspicious of anyone new. It just hasn't made for a good time to intro yourself. I never had an issue with intro threads until yesterday, myself. The whole thing just got really bizarre and out of control.

I don't get the tinychat stuff either. I don't understand why you would need two seperate places to talk about stuff. I guess it's similar to the OB thing, but seems a bit different to me.

That could very well be true.  I've only caught a few glimpses and there was a lot of "I like what you posted" or "why did so-and-so say that?" and I wondered why those things couldn't just be said on the board itself. 

I mean, I know I'm not around for a whole lot, and I miss the evening threads entirely, so maybe it's just adding to sense of missing out on a lot of the interaction on the boards.  I'm not complaining - it's the nature of things.  But I have noticed it lately, and I hadn't noticed it before.  I thought it might be worth a discussion.

Personally, I like a chat room format better than a message board format.  Here you can't tell if someone's responded while you're typing, or if someone's edited something they've said.  A chat room format makes the conversation flow easier.  You can converse directly with the people who are there at the same time you're there.  Someone doesn't get paged and then never answers.  You don't have to flip between different screens to follow conversations that bleed into different threads.  That sort of thing.  So no, it's not necessary to have two separate places to talk about stuff.  But if you're just chatting about whatever passing thought you have at the moment, a chat room is an easier format to use to do that.

I agree with Pirate that I do like the TC format way better than a message board format.  But, even more so, I like being able to have discussions without censoring myself.  On TC, I know that only girls who I am already friends with and can see live (therefore they are not Buffalo Bill :P) are talking with me.  There are not random lurkers.  I think TC affords a measure of security to open up that SB does not; hence, I talk about different things here and there.

I can see how it might seem exlusionary. 

Also, OWN, I think you should be around here more. You didn't know anything to say about me in the poll (this is a joke, but not the part about you being around more often)

This makes a ton of sense. And I don't think it seems exclusionary at all. I think most of the regs know that they could join in if they wanted to. :)

Some of us are self haters though ;)  i'd hate to put someone in the position of having to invite me because they felt obligated since I asked or blow me off because they'd rather not have me join in.  i need therapy.

Ditto what everyone already said about the Tinychat stuff. It's just easier and you can say whatever without worrying about who's reading it. Plus, webcam and voice chat. It's just another fun medium to get to know people with. I now know that at least 10 of you are real.

It started off in FB group chat with the secret santa. Then FB was super laggy, so I found a seperate, non laggy build-your-own chatroom deal. And thus, Tinychat was born.
