I was reading old topics I made and I realized that a lot of cbers had interesting characters. What gave me this idea was a very old thread I posted. Then I began reading certain people's posts - more notably Seon Ho.When I was reading some things he posted in some of my topics - most of which were schoolyard insults or comments about my effeminate hairstyle. It was interesting, seeing as how I never got along with him, and we hardly talked, though the way he acted towards me, despite how trivial it was, made a subconscious impact on me. I didn't remember much, though when I read his posts, I was overcome with nostalgia of my first visit here. I have this picture in my head of him being a very assiduous, yet brusque individual striving to perfect his career, yet venting his anger out on strangers - almost as if he were xenophobic and rather prejudice.
I need more, though. I'm feeding off the kinds of people you are, and I want to know more - so even if you're relatively new or joined after 2006, I'd like to know about you. I'll mostly be reading your posts, though, not what you have to say about yourself here - in other words I'm going to be observing how you react to the people around you in the createblog virtual community. Though, I do wish to know how you want yourself to be portrayed in the event that you might actually end up as a character in this amateur novel. |

Thanks. I've noticed lately that the general insight that createblog holds now has dumbed down considerably - what happened to the people who actually had something to say?
Sure, many of them were just as vulgar as some people on here are now, but at least they were interesting. Now I just feel like I'm talking to a bunch of /b/tards and fourteen year olds. No offense, guys, but I really feel like cb's dumbed down. However, it's not so bad. This gives me some general concepts on how I'm going to paint the city my character lives in. |

^ it would just be easier to disclose who you are then have to wait for HS or admin to look it up?
I tend to think CBC is a better place to get to know me or anyone else because its not smashed into a simple post you get to see that person be them in real time. |

Now that the forum isn't as strict as it was before, the more mature members have taken off. Its understandable. Even for me, this forum has taken a backseat to other forums that I frequent. Subconsciously, I don't feel like I even need to put for the effort to debate, or to make an insightful topic, as I did 3 years ago. I'd like to bring that back, and periodically, I'll make an attempt but I feel as though it should be a collective effort. James actually made a comment about wanting an influx of new members. I have to agree. QUOTE(ohshieza @ Jun 19 2009, 05:46 PM) cant you just IP trace me? or was that for admin only? Admin only. (-_-) |

Sadly the target demographic for createblog has decreased. Maybe cbers should find a way to make facebook layouts.

I was thinking maybe createblog could emphasize more on its graphic design, as well as a few other things. Maybe we could spread the word, advertise, do something beyond myspace/xanga layouts. |

We could, but is that what people want these days? Blogging and twitter seems to be hot spots these days, not sure what we could do, but its just a suggestion.

I remember on BR they used to have their layouts set up where you would make a topic with a screenshot of the layout, the live preview link and then use this thing CODE dfsfsdf to post the code.So one could just make a new forum category for the time being?
