unwelcomed stories Options

[*Michelle*]

So, when you first joined Createblog, did you feel very unwelcomed? Because I know a ton of us did. I joined in April 2004, and unfortunately for me, I was treated like shit. I will not name her, but I'm sure some of you know who I'm talking about. I guess I stayed away from cB for a year or so, came back for 2005, and left again.

It sucks that some members treat you by seniority, like your post count or join date matters. -_-

^ ditto.

in the beginning, i actually felt right at home. all the senior members were really nice, and even trish, with whom i remember having a minor argument right before i joined, made me feel welcomed. it was pretty easy to get along with everyone. i guess i got lucky and joined while everyone was nice ;o. even the cbchat was more fun back then.

nowadays though, i do feel a bit "unwelcomed". my posts don't get as much recognition and i feel as if my opinion doesn't really matter. and when they do get recognized, it's for all the wrong reasons. i durno, it doesn't feel the same.

lol how sweet ;] ur2coo4cb.

if you want to be notice. you have to have a spark and be an a-hole to get attention. lol jk. i dont know. post more . and be active. thats how u get attention

well, it's not so much attention as it is just general acknowledgement. it seems (by using this word, i mean this is based on how i feel and not something that may be necessarily true) that there used to be a time when people were able to express themselves and disagree with others without there being major "e-drama" 'cause at the end of the day, one's opinion is respected and understood. nowdays it seems (again same as above) that you can't say something that might offend someone else all hell would break lose. i don't feel that same type of acknowledgement or understanding. i'm not saying there are no longer any "nice" members, but the general atmosphere is less tactful and just less open-minded, i think.

More people were genuinely friendly then. Few people felt the need to cause trouble to get attention.

I always enjoyed your graphics and wished you'd post more. But that was a while ago; I didn't know you were back.

lol, i'm still trying to get at that 3000 posts ;P. ur2sweet ;]

I remember you! I remember you once said something really nice to/about me (I forget what exactly) but it was sweet and made me sincerely smile.

i'm glad i was able to make you smile. ;] 'cause we all know the world needs a little more sunshine ;P
