Spring Fling! Options

can i point this out linda belle, since it's posted on... HITHERSTON !

Relations with CreateBlog.com

Most of you, especially the older members and those who were with us at Retrofied, know that all three admins of this site met at createblog.com. Most people consider Hitherston to be a branch-off of Createblog.

Lately there has been a lot of animosity between the two forums, especially when Hitherston was released at the same time as CB3. Suddenly, both forums, which had been walking on ice to begin with, found themselves providing the same kinds of free resources, and competition and hostility blossomed.

Do we need the hostility? Does Createblog become a better forum by hating us? And do we become a better forum for bad-mouthing them?

Createblog, almost by definition, caters to the needs and education of the blogging crowd. That is what CB was created for. Yes, it has branched out since the original creation in December 2003, but even a first glance at CB will show you resources for MySpace, Xanga, LiveJournal, and other blogging websites.

Hitherston, by definition, was created as a focus forum, mostly for the design of personal websites and portfolios, and the graphics that go with it. As the co-creator, I can attest to the fact that we went out of our way to make sure that we would stay out of CB's "domain," and this is why we never added subforums for blogging sites, like many offshoots of CB tend to do.

With this in mind, I don't see why/how we should be so hostile to each other. To make a possibly cheesy comparison, America is an offshoot of Britain, but we're at least civil to each other.

To my forum members, I say this; please, no more bad-mouthing Createblog on this forum. If I, or the other admins see this, there will be personal merit losses and other disciplinary measures. I am serious. I don't care what you say in your AIM chats or on your own domains, but I do not want to see it here.

And to any Createblog members who see this (and I am sending this to the approprate leadership at CB), please, let's be friends. Maybe we should try and replace "competing site" with "affiliate", shake hands, and call it a day.

way to keep the tradition of the "animosity" and "hostility" going.

Sure, just don't throw them at people. You can scramble them though.

whats the point of having eggs then...

[Retrogressive]

I'm sorry, I'm just really tired of this.
Plus I didn't write that Spencer.

[add1cted2f1re]

lets all just be happy friends, eh?

[*disco infiltrator*]

To scramble! Eat em up, yum yum!

I'm sorry, I'm just really tired of this.

We are too; I suggest you stop trying to fuel it if it's so tiring.

What's the point of being friendly 100% of the time if nobody is ever. EVER. friendly back?

you know what? I don't even care anymore.

whats the point of having eggs then...

Eh, why not? There are quite a few people I'd like to throw eggs at! But then, someone's going to have to clean it all up. (Not me. =P)

[*disco infiltrator*]

This ends now....

I certainly don't want egg thrown at me!
I'll be hiding in the DJ booth.

[add1cted2f1re]

hey, id clean the eggs if i get to throw em

[*incoherent*]

i guess i could say sorry too, but your forum doesnt coin everything out there in forum world, so if another forum out there in forum world uses your idea to an extent, move on.

toya...i know you're in here. go with me, por favor?

[*Statues/Shadows*]

Spencer, if you must say things after you're told to stop, could you at least define your pronouns?

[technicolour]

My god, they have therapy for reasons.

Aaaaannddddd...I like spring flings. Especially with eggs. matt, i'm going to throw them at you. =P

[*incoherent*]

Spencer, if you must say things after you're told to stop, could you at least define your pronouns?

are you talking about coin?

if so, you know coining? coming up with your own idea and claiming it.

besides which, i posted at the same time as sammi.

[*disco infiltrator*]

*sigh* Coin is a verb, not a pronoun...

She means pronouns.
Things like:
you
your
its
she
he
we
me

Yeaaaa..

[*Statues/Shadows*]

No, that's a verb. Like, to coin something. I know what that means.

What I meant was, who is this "you" to whom you refer?

(oh, yeah, Sammi got it first)

[*incoherent*]

*sigh* Coin is a verb, not a pronoun...

She means pronouns.
Things like:
you
your
its
she
he
we
me

Yeaaaa..

i was never good at english, but i see nothing wrong with what i said.

nicki, that comment was directed to linda belle. i was saying her forum doesnt come up with everything. if another forum uses the same idea (cB being the one at hand), the world wont end.

[*disco infiltrator*]

It doesn't really matter; let's settle down...no need to cause a ruckus.

[*Statues/Shadows*]

nevermind, so many edits

[technicolour]

LB/Hitherston I think is what he was talking about?

[*Statues/Shadows*]

Yeah, I've got that now.

[*incoherent*]

alright. i think its cleared up, so let's drop it.

i have to get ready for prom anyway.

[Fabio.]

I have to agree with Nicki ... spencer could very feasibly be talking about ANY forum who believe that their ideas are the one and only and that they have THE MARKET on such ideas and that nobody else is entitled to them.

Oh yes. OH yes.

[*incoherent*]

Oh yes. OH yes.

thank you. it's been cleared up. perhaps actually reading what i've said in past posts would have bettered your doubts.

[Fabio.]

I, on the other hand, was not talking about Hitherston.
