im my experience...if the person who is trying to IM you hasn't posted in the forums...they are good canidates for scammers....I have had the same SOB (pr1988) bugging me for the last week or better...I find no posts from him in the forums and every time he tries to IM me...my antivirus goes NUTS!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even block him because I can't clear the warnings away fast enough...

Da10th: I know personally and having only been her 4 or 5 days, I'm kinda guilty as well of the cliquish type thing. However, I just find posts of certain people more interesting than that of others thus I'm going to gravitate more so to those threads that I see posters that I recognize more so as my "style"



You have added well receives responses. You seem like a bright man!!thumbs up

mindfful: spot on again shippy

the platitudes herein are nice enuf but the regulars know

its just human nature i guess
some badge of honor to act like we know someone more than the next guy

it is not productive and the forums have shrunk in numbers because of it

i mean i guess its not here to always make people feel good but like any social situation
it sure can feel like crap to be ignored- i wish we could be that utopia but it aint gonna happen
the membership has shifted to this being the norm-
the grouping thing.


I'd never ignore you el...hug wine

mylifewithu: It also depends what time of day you posted it. many are off too work and miss when it gets buried a few pages back, have you tried bumping up your own thread once a day , it helps


this is good advice^^^

but sometimes later you see just you have posted 2 wks in a row-laugh

for me its been a good exercise in detaching from other peoples judgements/responses
cuz half the time its more about them than me-the rejecting i mean.






ship you gotta know i see what you see
feel similar to what you feel

kindred nutcases
i mean whats the politically correct way to say it?
oooh how bout sensitive cynics?
laugh

btw its so weird you bein in an earlier time zone-i like it-im seeing you moreapplause

Galactic_bodhi: The more serious a post the less attention it recieves...


True but we all have our people that catch our attention for various reasons. Either they are smart asses, write very well and or are very intelligent so even if it seems like we don't pay attention we do.
I am trying to learn forum etiquette and admit that I type fairly quickly and do kind of chat with others at times. It's a learning thing for me being a bit of a loner most of my life. So if some of us are out of line. Let us know. Not everyone is going to like or connect with what everyone else is saying or even care at times.

fyi

im like a broken record with this but

there are upwards of at least 3,000 members on CS (way more but if i said no one would believe me)
lots of people dont post
but are great genuine people and write with others and are on other parts of the site

this forum used to have over 60 regulars as in daily posters

hundreds read forums and dont come in, im sure for many many reasons-all different

i wish it was more welcoming, more conversational and less accusatory so people would join us in here

there used to be a positive peer pressure and 99% of the sniping that goes on would be shouted down and self policed
like-uh-adults?

i guess alot of those emotionally healthy people got tired and moved on or mated.

now its just us-


what are we gonna do with this lil republic? section off more and more or have sonme actual conversations

it would be great if it was a safe feeling environment to share for everyone-not just a few

being completely selfish? i sure miss feeling like i can share my heart mind and day here
in an emotionally trustworthy environment.

i came to rely on that and i really miss it

we are all human and we all need a place to be accepted warts and all

i know im not the only one that remembers the days before 'club' threads
