Your Advice To A New *litster*

I know - the odd thing is that this site prides itself on FOS, and it becomes a vicious circle on here

The odd thing is that there was a word filter put on here to block certain words being posted believe it or not

tenant or ******t being one that I know of

What did you say that got censored :confused:
 
In your profile do not list your Instant Messaging accounts unless you want creepy lurkers begging for more pics.
 
If your profile shows you've been a member for a lengthy period of time, and you've got 0 posts to your name, don't expect that if you PM someone that they will reply; Common sense says if you aren't gonna talk to anyone via the forum boards, don't expect others to talk to you via PM.
 
Thanks to everyone for the advice and warm welcome. I got vibed out by the general message board the other day. It's good to see that it's not all Thunderdome here.

I don't have 0 and I find that when I send a pm, I seldom get a reply. I guess filling out a profile is that important. Lessons being learned everyday.

Thanks!

Ooooooh, GB kicked your ass, huh? Tough break.....They are a tough group......hang in the PG...we're a ton less Douche-ee-ee-ish. And.....Boca Juniors? :p :D
 
Ok look. The truth is that most of the people who come here don't exactly have their shit together. They don't have happy lives full of happy little moments. A lot of them are lonely and bored and lacking something.

The few who have some luck tend to lord it over the rest in self-important, smug little ways. This is probably because they fought to get that tiny bit of happiness in their lives and feel like Olympic fucking medalists.

Most of those who post here will hide who they really are and what they really feel like a CIA covert ops agent will hide their true identity. They will pretend to be superior even as they condescendingly comfort you for admitting to some vulnerability and then in the next thread have a psychotic breakdown.

This place is like a virtual pretend game for adults. Not much here is real, except that the thoughts and feelings and personalities behind it all ARE real. Never forget that these things go together. The fake hides the real here.

So basically my advice is, trust nobody until you have gotten to know them VERY well and for a long time. Don't spend too much time here. Take nothing seriously. Keep yourself to yourself as much as you are able. If you can't then be as entertaining about the exposure as possible. Guard your heart.

...get out while you can and never come back.

Sounds like my kind of place :D

I know it's off subject but just in case anyone wants to know Club Atlético Boca Juniors is the greatest fútbol(soccer) team in all of South America, possible the world. Aguante los Bosteros

I'm well aware of who they are.......;) Soccer runs through my veins! Someone very close to me is a huge fan of them as well.....I was ribbing ya, BD. :)
 
I for one appreciate the advice....I have been coming around here for awhile, and find it a very closed community, very hard to be a newbie.
I have over 11,000 posts on another forum I participate in, so I know it isn't me! LOL
Thanks for the info.
 
if you're a guy, hang out and talk to me, macdaddy, wakko jako, and wave rider. We get all the chicks :D Girls... I dunno, good luck
