Has Sarah Nerd even been to SLCC?

Isn't Brig McD a more recent member than you?

If I felt rejected every time nobody responded to one of my forum posts, I'd require about 500 valium pills a day.

Lol! No, I don't feel rejected when people don't respond to posts, but thanks.

Of course there are more recent folks who feel at home in SLU ... more arriving every day, I'm sure. All I'm saying is, if you want to get traction at a forum that has a core of really tight friends like SLU, you have to spend time working on it. In general, new folks who make their home at SLU spend a LOT of time posting and reaching out to individuals there. If you have the time, great. If not, it's easier to feel on a par with other posters in a more public forum where people come and go much more frequently. YMMV.

I still read there sometimes and post occasionally if I think I can be helpful. It's a good place, but I feel that folks there know each other better than I can ever hope to know them, given how much time I can spend.

Don't worry about it. SLU is the home of a bunch of bitter oldbies, their alts, and their followers. SL is about new blood now.

Really? Is that all we are? Bitter oldbies? SL is about the new. But it is also about the old. Some of the most fascinating things that come into SL are from the "bitter oldbies."


But you are right in a way, but I wouldn't classify it as bitter. We just know how things work (or don't). We have seen much, and the initial glow of SL has died a little. But we still do love it, else we wouldn't be here.

Yes, yes, I know. It is what I get for not proofreading my posts.

Trust me on this in one thing that I'm very glad of is that I'm NOT like them and DON'T fit in. Take my word on that in this case its a good thing

I dont think that is what he was getting at. In my case I know anyhow. They have many bad habits that they can't even acknowledge. One of them is seeing themselves as lilly white regardless of what they do and how they go about doing it. Hence that is where the "bitter" comes in. There are many many "old timers" that aren't a part of that group (clique) who have done amazing things who seperate themselves from that mess. There are also many "New timers" who in fact are capable of the same if not better then what they did and have proven it over time some of them fit in there others do not. Its about a mindset and a group that has a certain way of going about things and not necessarily always doing it responsibly or in good taste or anything else who do at times elevate themselves above others with their own words and by their own hand.

(o lordy I'm starting to sound articulate again my village idiot tag has fallen off! scrambles to slap it back on..)

Lilly white? LOL. I'm not sure what threads you are reading on SLU!

So what other bad habits do the collective known as 'they' at SLU have that make you so bitter?


The only bitterness I am seeing with regards to SLU is in a couple of anti-SLU posts in this thread. <shrug>


/me hands you generalization of the year award. There is no one type of SLUer, any more or less than there is one type of RAer. To suggest otherwise is just plain ludicrous.


WTF? Mindset? THEY elevate themselves? Are you mistaking SLUers with the Borg or something?

You will sometimes see things that are not to your taste, but then that's because, despite your ridiculous claims, there is no such thing as the average SLUer (they are not a collective lol) - not everyone is going to be drawn to the same threads, not everyone is going to like every other SLUer, but that's just a consequence of having a diverse community, and I wouldn't want it any different.



Dang, that's too easy! No comment

I don't know if you have a beef with someone in particular on the site, or whether you feel intimidated for some reason? If you do, you have no reason to. For sure, if you are outspoken, you are going to have run ins with people, but that's no different to any other forum. I've only been at SLU for a month. I'll admit that there are one or two SLUers that I am less than fond of, but that would be the case where ever I go - or anyone goes. The majority are a great bunch, and I have never been made to feel like an 'outsider'. There are many interesting discussions & debates taking place - you just need to avoid the ones that are not for you.

hehe sorry to upset you.

Unfortunately when i see swiss cheeze posts I have a hard time reading them I skipped down to the bottom and stopped at WTF.

/shrugs

I'm not going to explain further or bother to. You feel comfortable there. Others do not and there are reasons despite as to whether you see them or not. As someoen who has encountered their same mob mentality more then once when you try reason with them lets just say it happens and leave it at that.

We are looking for reporters, bloggers, photographers, videographers and everything in between. Come check us out! We have great videos and links to a ton of SL content and media creation.

awww man now everyones gonna beat you up.
