I mean, I'm not stretching any truths here whatsoever, that is a literal retelling of what happened.

FYI dude, your boy didn't leave. He is still with us. He just don't talk as much.

Apart from him making about 300 posts in the lounge in 2 days and people finding it annoying.

Well since he hasn't posted since his "farewell" post, I'd say it's safe to say he's gone.

And what I'm saying is that I don't see why this is a bad thing. Yeah, maybe he was a little weird and overly enthusiastic about posting here, but why exactly would we want to flame someone just because they were happy that they found a forum and a community that they liked? We should be ecstatic when a member like that comes around, ESPECIALLY on a music forum where a diversity of ideas is exactly what we should strive for (unless you're realtalk, I hope she leaves asap)

Right so, check the users online, he is here ALOT! He is just quieter now.
I have seen him at least 100 times since his farewell.

Honestly the only one I can see that left and never came back in recent history was Knob. (Doesn'treallymatter) And are you really sad about that?

Don't end up like this guy you sound sweet enough, any q's let me know. I answered his qs 500 times over. Not a problem I will always help someone out. Well I guess whatever I said to him didn't sink in cause he would freak when his **** got moved to the right spot, or whatever.. Finally I lost my patience....

I never gave a **** about fitting in. I just got to know ppl by lurking first. Best tool the fresh meat could use if you ask me.

This is for you YD. Since you think that no one tried to help this kid and we all ganged up on him. Seems like you proved my argument about posting your impression of something when you have no clue what happened.

But go right ahead and vilify me if you like.

WHY NOT START A FIRST IMPRESSION THREAD? I mean this one is called spill your guts. Or am I lost again?

Wasn't even talking to you gurl, i was talking to Trollheart.

Why make that distinction?

ok, let's say someone is wrong in their first impression, either the person will correct them or time will, what harm is done?

My first impression of you was that you were friendly and funny, did that insult you?

i still stand by what i said. U_U

"Just lurk" is such a weak cop-out to me to try and fix/justify an unfriendly community. Never in my life has there been any sort of social situation irl or on the internet where it was actually encouraged to actively not try to fit in and meet new people when you're in an unfamiliar place. I mean what kind of joke is that.

The guy who goes into threads to deliberately wind up people is complaining about an unfriendly community

Maybe I should ask Realtalk or FTD just how friendly you are.

My bad you always use the @ symbol lol sorry.

Nope. Didn't insult me, I just think its a matter of knowing when to keep your mouth shut, and when its ok to open it. But you know, I am old school like that. I don't get saying ****, that you can't take back and being wrong on top of not being able to take it back..

I mean don't say anything at all that way, when you give your opinion, it's based on more then 24hrs. But hey I must just be too stoned for this conversation again.
