yes no maybe so?





okay. no hidden agendas. how serious do you really think of the internet? (bad wording, but i don't give a shit)

[rnicron]

Depends on who you are.

[Elba]

Well, it could get pretty serious, but for the most part it isn't (for me at least).

[DoubleJ]

I think that people shouldn't take it as serious as they do. It IS just the internet after all.

[Just_Dream]

The internet is very important to me. My life is the internet. I am online 24/7, granted, more like I am logged in for that long. The internet is serious business. I even found a boyfriend online. He's very far away right now and he's fighting for something he believes in and I totally respect that. I mean, sure I am forced to go through abstinence, but it's okay cause I send him my n00dz. I mean sure I've been through so much drama on the internet and a lot of times sometimes I pretend to be someones I'm not, it's okay. I have internet friends. That's all I need!

THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS, YO.

*pulls out card*


I miss you hunny bunny. I hope you're not doing something behind my back while we're apart.

[Melissa]

hi trashcan!

[Just_Dream]

hi trashcan!

Why you hating? I'm going to tell my sister on you.

[Melissa]

go get her. she can spar with ivonna ;)

[Elba]

Christina, you don't even have a sister.

[rnicron]

Hey sweetheart! I haven't been around much. We've been on missions everyday and we've been searching everyones rooms by night. We found some gay porno in one of my best friends rooms the other day, but we won't go into that.

I got your n00dz, though! Let me just say, ME LIKEY! I hope you're not sharing them with anyone else! Btw, what kind of camera did you use because it really accents your nipples?

Anyway, I haven't had a cigarette all day and I'm about to go have some brews with the boys.

I'll be home soon!

[Melissa]

[Just_Dream]

Omg hunny bunny I haven't seen you in like, 2 whole minutes, but it feels like two whole months! What kind of camera? Well definitely the one you gave me to me since right now I'm unemployed. I'm trying some freelance work right now because I just don't like working under people. But it's nice to be under people physically.

Oh love, you can read anything you like. I mean, I am bisexual and all. I love that you love all aspects of me! Especially since those n00dz were only for your eyes! I thought I would get creative, and I didn't want to be too nekked naked, so I decided to color them in. OMG I thought you'd love it!

Come home soon. I'll be waiting in my wet dreams. *melts*


EDIT - I do have a sister. She looks like me from behind. I don't have the resources to take a picture of us two together though. We don't like to do the sister-matching thing.

[Melissa]

WE ALL KNOW THAT ONLINE RELATIONSHIPS ARE FAKE.

[rnicron]

Oh, you naughty girl!

It's funny that I'm dating you, especially with the distance. I mean, I'm over here in Japan and everyone looks just like you, so why am I sticking around? I think it's because the girls here aren't as easy to get undressed. It must be a Viet/American thing.

It's obvious that what we have is magical; I love talking to you on webcam. I really miss seeing your face, even though I've never seen it in person. It's weird that I've seen your bits on a screen before I saw them in person. It would have made more sense that way.

Perhaps what we have, people won't understand, but trust me baby, just because I'm in Japan, doesn't mean we can't continue on. Besides, you look better on screen.

[Just_Dream]

Melz - I don't need someone like you telling me what is real and what is fake. Just because you go to college doesn't mean you know everything. You really my e-feelings.



OMG just as I'm reading what you've said, it makes me more wet lonely without you. But wait a minute, I thought you were in the Middle East? Is there something you're not telling me?

Anyway, as the song Barbie Girl goes, "you can touch my hair, undress me everywhere", even in your mind. Oh, I'm closing my eyes right now. Mmmm... so magical. Mmm... And I'm letting you see them on screen as a little teaser. So that when we meet, you'll already want more.

Oh yes, my pictures. It must be my high angles. You know, on myspace everyone says I look so beautiful in my high angle pictures. I'm so glad you like them too. And I'm really sick and bloated right now so I don't think we could meet up anytime soon. Let me lose some weight first.

[rnicron]

When I get back, we are definitely getting married! Actually, let's do it online since you claim you look better. I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable.

Have you ever thought about the day we actually meet? I've been wondering about how you're going to Photoshop your face on in real life. Besides, have I ever told you how annoying your voice is? It better sound nicer in real life or it's a no go.

Anyway, you know that I love you.

[Just_Dream]

I'm kind of having financial problems right now so I don't think we'll be able to get married soon, hunny bunny. Is it free online? Maybe we can just claim to be married for the time being. And yes I've thought about the day we'd actually meet. I've longed for it, and I'm prepping my high angle, but since I'm so short, you'll still see me the same way, since I will have to look up at you. I can smile though, but you know the reason already.

My voice sounds annoying? How can you say that, from all the times that I sang to you? I even sang in Japanese for you. You told me I sounded like Rihanna... was that a lie? I do sound better in real life, it's just that I like to talk in a cutesy baby voice, that's all. You told me reminded me of your pet frog, so that's why I did it.

But despite all that, I'll always love you! I could never love anyone else in real life, you know that hunny bunny cutey hubby.

[rnicron]

I haven't had time to do the research online because I've been so busy, but can't you just Photoshop us a marriage license? I don't see anything wrong with it at all. I'm am, however, excited that you are getting all prepped up for little ol' me. It means the world to me, honestly. I've seen the videos of how big transformations can get with just some simple make-up, so I can't wait to see what kind of magic you can work.

I know I've told you you sounded like Rihanna, but that was after the fact that you told me I look like Jay-Z. I mean, damn mang, wtf is that? Jay-Z? If I were Jay-Z, I definitely wouldn't be wasting my time with you. I could possibly have anyone I wanted, especially since he has Beyonce. I don't know why we lie to each other, but I know it makes your self-esteem go up. It's unfortunate I can't be there to be your only loving friend, but this online thing seems to be working well. I mean, who needs real life friends when we have each other. This way, we can both pretend we live a life we really only dream of.

I'm sorry that I can't be there to actually hold you in my arms, but it'll be sooner than later, PROMISE!

[rnicron]

This is still here? I'M SHOCKED!

[S-Majere]

Crap, that is shocking.

[rnicron]

Fuck you, Sarah.

[misoshiru]

wtf? i had an actual question to this.

[Elba]

Time to take out the trash...

[brooklyneast05]

i take the internet extremely serious, don't even joke about this please.




ummmmm, i take it in between seriousness and not seriousness. i don't think the internet is the most serious thing ever, but i don't agree with people who say it's not AT ALL. i'm pretty sure we all have taken it serious at one point or another. so it is to an extent.

if i want someone to shut the f**k up, then i seriously want them to shut the f**k up as much as i seriously would if i was standing in front of them.

i think with the internet you just pick and choose what is and what isn't serious. some people pick way too much. i have some friendships that i think are serious, and they mean a lot to me. they aren't "just the internet".

[misoshiru]

WHY THE FUCK IS THIS IN VIP LOUNGE? I HAD A QUESTION THAT I WANTED THE CB COMMUNITY TO ANSWER.

[brooklyneast05]

MOVE THIS PLEASE

get back on topic.

she even asked people to get back on topic. if people spam it's not the OP's fault. maybe the mods should just tell people to stop spamming rather than moving it to the VIP lounge automatically. i mean it's not like this would be moved if it wasn't yan lin posting it, it would probably be modded if that were the case.

[libertie]

Although in this case it absolutely IS intentional.

Sorry guys, I'm not gonna move this back to the lounge unless you guys are okay with cleaning this up and getting back on topic.

[rnicron]

Why do we need to clean this up. What's done is done. Give us a warning and move it back.

[misoshiru]

Although in this case it absolutely IS intentional.

uh...wut?

[Elba]

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been mysteriously deleted yet.

[misoshiru]

soooo....because people spam my a topic, it is automatically moved and put into VIP?



yeah. because that's really fair.

[brooklyneast05]

i mean it's not like this would be moved if it wasn't yan lin posting it, it would probably be modded if that were the case.

[Elba]

Maybe you should make a new one :P

And I agree. If tamponcracker had made the topic, everyone would have just been told to get back on topic.

[misoshiru]

yeah seriously though. If it was someone random who was posting it, and these exact replies were in it, would you have moved it to the VIP Lounge? Honestly?

[Melissa]

Instead of moderating threads, we like to just move it to the VIP or the trash can. It really saves us a lot of work. You should understand.

We don't like dealing with people, since we're People Staff and all.

[Elba]

lawl

[Just_Dream]

You know what? I am serious here. It makes me sad that you think I am spamming. I am trying to prove that I do take the internet very seriously. I mean, Tamacracker said I am Mongolian, and now I'm all up for Mongolian BBQ.

*sigh* I guess my love just isn't right for this community. :[

[rnicron]

Actually, Christina and I were confessing our love for each other. Is that so hard to understand?!

[misoshiru]

yeah seriously though. If it was someone random who was posting it, and these exact replies were in it, would you have moved it to the VIP Lounge? Honestly?

[Teesa]

^very good question.

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been mysteriously deleted yet.

i know

but anyways, sometimes i really do take things seriously, but i always have to remind myself that it is just online and that most people who post online don't really matter to me :)

[DoubleJ]

I always have to remind myself that it is just online and that most people who post online don't really matter to me :)

[libertie]

I'm going to go against what I said earlier and give this another shot. If everyone can keep this on topic, it will remain in the lounge.

[queen]

i agree with jc's opinion. i was gonna write my own essay of a post, but then i came across his, which stated my stance perfectly.

although i would add that i don't take cb as seriously as i take other parts of the internet. this is essentially my boredom forum ;o

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Calm down, waffle twat.

Waffle twat. I love it. (Not twats that look like waffles, but the insult.)

I wish Steven saw this thread.

[foxx]

Somewhat, but not usually unless people're just being stupid.

[Tung]

yep

I sent that to 1/2 of my friends

you better remove this, because I got warned for posting a link similar to this. in fact, it's been more than two weeks, and my warning still haven't been removed.

[superstitious]

It depends, really. For the most part, the internet shouldn't be taken too seriously. I only get really, really angry or upset if someone brings my son up for no reason, other than to insult me or belittle him in some way. Other than that, I'll get annoyed, sometimes flustered but that's the extent of it.

[hypnotique]

I'm Rick Astley and I approve of this message.

NO YOU ARE NOT AND NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN.

oh my god.... that was nasty

[misoshiru]

for me, I don't take forums seriously at all. why? because it doesn't consume my life. it's just a good way to direct procrastination.

[LoveToMySilas]

If this question is still being answered, I think it depends on what you're refering to online...like buying things or forums. If you screw up and start buying numerous things with your credit card then, yeah, the internet can be serious business. But forums, although it can be strict here and there, should be fun.

[rnicron]

Waffle twat. I love it. (Not twats that look like waffles, but the insult.)

I wish Steven saw this thread.

I CALLED ELBA A WAFFLE TWAT FIRST!

Steven has seen this, trust me.

[The-March-Hare]

It depends. Assuming you're reffering specifically to forums, if I care about the people I'm interacting with at the time, then yes, I'll take it seriously. If not, no. Which is true of everything, really, not just the internet.

[datass]

mmm
i dont take it seriously, maybe for a few one or two things. like my bf.

[lkajsfklajskds]

sometimes i take it seriously. but once im off the computer, its not serious anymore =P

but that only goes for people i dont now irl. when i talk to people irl online, i do take it seriously.

[Just_Dream]

I only get really, really angry or upset if someone brings my son up for no reason, other than to insult me or belittle him in some way.

Anyone who insults your son is immature and just phails/10.
He's so amazingly cute! How could anyone make fun of him?!

[libertie]

You know, in a lot of cases things that happen on the internet are not to be taken seriously. However, there are times when things can get rather personal and it's perfectly reasonable to get upset and let it affect you. If you're a decent person, you know when to realize that you've affected someone negatively in a very personal way and you'll stop. Unfortunately, most of the time we aren't that lucky and we just end up with someone who can't just go away and leave us alone.
