So, hello, my name is Orchid, and I've been browsing around CreateBlog since February; I just never signed up until now. And, well, I'd just like to make a few comments about this whole website.
This is just an assumption, you know? That in Createblog, everyone is supposed to support each other, give advice, and have fun and enjoy being here. Well, I haven't been seeing much of it. I've noticed some members giving out poor, ill-humored advice, something that's ought to make the starter of the topic feel bad. Stuff that won't help the starter of the topic AT ALL. I'm not pointing fingers, I've just noticed it A LOT. It's especially happening to the newbs. Oh wow, I don't see why the newb would want to stay here any longer if the responses they get are "You're just stupid." Well, not exactly but somewhere along those lines. Guess what? Some members just don't type normally. They can't help it, and when they make a post about something and they kind of typE lyK dISh, people who respond to the topic make stupid posts that have nothing to do with the subject and say "Oh please type normally." And I know that seeing someone type like that is annoying, but it'd be a lot better if the members here just set that aside and give advice to the person without making irrelevant comments. And I think some members in here at just a bit conceited about themselves. Well, conceited isn't a good word for it, but something like that. Such as, a while ago, someone made a topic about being too tall and not liking it (I'm not exactly sure it was specifically about this, but something like it), and the reponses he/she got weren't exactly helpful. Such as "Shut up and feel sorry for the short people," or "Stop showing off your height." I'm pretty sure that person wasn't showing off anything but was really disturbed by it, and I know there isn't much to say about it, but at least give some reassuring responses. It just seems like people are being cruel to each other, and I don't think this is how createBlog should really be like. It'd be alot more fun for others if members made encouraging comments and stuff like that. this can be ignored if wanted. I'm just saying something out of my heart, and I hope everyone can read this and change a bit. Thanks, Orchid |

QUOTE(islandgirl4eva @ Jan 12 2005, 12:15 AM) I used to be afraid to post things. I've been a member for over a year and I've got less than 500 posts! OMG...I'm still a little apprehensive about posting. I don't really have a lot of friends on CB. I try to talk to peoplem you know, PM them, but no one really writes me back. It makes me really sad. Like, "Why am I here? No one cares about what I have to say anyway!" But there are a few people here who I feel actually care about me. Thank you!  I know exactly how you feel. I've been browsing here for awhile (but just became a member recently) and I am sometimes apprehensive about making posts (haven't made very many, as you can see...). But overall I think people here at cB are pretty nice; there are some people who can be very open with their opinions, but I like it here (very helpful  .)

sarcasm online is best expressed with bold and italics, but it requires the reader to know you a bit.

i notice it a lot actually. not directed at me but, at other people. when i see the rude comments I just dont say whats on my mind because if i did then i would be warned 24/7. whats really funny to me is how if you were with some (not ALL) of the people in real life, they wouldnt be able to say that to your faces...

QUOTE(M1SSxCHR1SSY @ Jan 11 2005, 8:56 PM) i have to agree with him i haven't been with CB for a really long time or anything but i still do feel like it is a helpful community despite those few people who aren't helpful/nice. i mean, it's not like it can be helped that there are a few of those people who are rude and always irrelevant to topics because that happens in any community whether an online community or a real coommunity. But, i have to say that the majority of the people on CB are nice, friendly, encouraging, and helpful. so i hope that you are able to look past those few people who aren't nice and helpful to see those who are because a lot of them are out there. I agree. Most people, overall, are friendly, but I admit there are a few people who aren;t so nice. You're right too, Ollie thanks so much for your concern! I hope it sheds light to those..erm..let's just say who needs it.
