The CreateSecret Discussion Thread Options

[HoodNigga]

Had to be done, so what do you guys think of some of the secrets and all that lol. Discuss everything about CreateSecret here.

[HakunaMatata]

Well, maybe not everything. To everyone:

It's totally allowed (and definitely encouraged from me) to discuss CreateSecret itself, but when discussing the secrets, really consider the following rules:

CONTROVERSY
Think before you post. Everyone is different and everyone has different stances on certain issues. A little tact is never a bad thing. When you have an argument, it's better to post with reasoning justifying your views. Avoid saying things that creates or has the potential of creating controversy.

PERSONAL ATTACKS
Flaming, trolling, member bashing-you name it-will not be tolerated here. If you're making an argument, it's always better to retort with reason and composure. Personal attacks are childish and have no place in these forums.

Quite a few of the CreateSecrets are very, very personal. So imagine yourself in their place, and think if you'd want someone criticizing the secret you felt brave enough to reveal.

******************************

A couple of the CreateSecrets have definitely gone into a folder I have of my all-time favorite PostSecrets. They're beautifully created, and I must admit that the funny ones really made me giggle.

[z3nn1]

I personally think some are funny, but done quite well.

Some are random.. no?

[*StanleyThePanda*]

There are a few I can relate to, and a few that are definitely put into my Favorite PostSecrets, as Kaycee said.
I also laughed at a few (for obvious reasons), and the Croissant one completely went over my head.

[Comptine]

i was surprised by how many secrets been posted already! and most of them, i can relate too.

a lot of them have to do with relationships though. i hope we get a wider range of secrets later. =)

[*Azarel*]

The "I wish I was stronger" one is beautiful.

[HakunaMatata]

i just hope you guys arent stalking the pictures or whatever and try to find out who it is. because i hope people post up more personal secrets to share, its always good to see something like that get posted because its anonymous. you can share it but you dont have to be embarrased because no one knows its you. =]
thats my input

By "you guys" do you mean the mods? We aren't, I promise. We have no idea who sent them in, and in case someone can track the maker via the url, they've been uploaded to another server to prevent that.

So, a couple of thingymickjaggers:

1. There was another rule-disclaimer thingy added at the end of rules.
2. It'd be awesome if there was...oh I don't know....more votes in the who thread thingy. Considering it's a tie. Sort of like bagels and muffins. Except with the latter, the winner is a lot more clear.

[*mishyerr*]

This is a great idea. I love it.

[michellerrific]

A lot of them are very pretty, words and pictures. I like reading the real Postsecret and relating to them too.

[*Azarel*]

The jealousy one is flippin' awesome.

[pikimoo]

The one about hopes for your future children... Yeah.. me too.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ Same here.

A lot of the ones posted are beautiful, some make me sad though.

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

Quick question. Why is this thread in the relationship forum?

[HakunaMatata]

^The discussion thread or the CreateSecret thread itself?

The discussion thread out of conveniency, and the CreateSecret thread is here because many PostSecrets are out about Relationships (and this forum reaches far further than just romantic ones) and this forum could use a little more activity.

[MeanBastard]

I want to make one, but my art skills suck.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ You dont have to have good art skills at all. Just find a picture, and put some text on it.
That is really all it takes.

Edit: What Kaycee said (below me) sounds better than what I said. xD

[HakunaMatata]

...so? Some of the most beautiful of the Create and PostSecrets, imo, have been extremely simple. They get the message across, and that's what matters most.

Of course, it is wonderful that we have amazing designers and I'm sure that's why a couple of them are so damn gorgeous.

[*Monochrome.*]

I dont know yet.I still kinda feel a little weird about trying to post ones seacret on here.Even if its private.Im sure ill warm up to this.

[cheerbee07]

the relationship one makes me sad...because it describes my entire life in one post card.

i can't wait to submit.

(great idea!!)

[*Duchess of Dork*]

"I've been waiting for my turn" Oh wow. Just tugs at me.

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Wow, lots of images being submitted. Some of them are so pretty.

[HakunaMatata]

If anyone wants to make anonymous comments, you can just send them through DeadFake.com to CreateSecret@yahoo.com, and any appropriate and contributory comments will be posted in the same post as the secrets. When sending comments, please be clear as to exactly which CreateSecret you'll be commenting on. For examples of comments, you can visit the PostSecret website.

EDIT://////// Oh Kara, I have no idea what you're talking about! Thanks, dear. :D

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ That "PostSecret website" link goes back to this thread.

[*Azarel*]

These make me sad. :(

[Rachel]

^Agreed. There are some that scare me, and others that make me want to cry (mostly because they apply).
