When I first started bluelight.. I met so many nice people.. hell I now how two bluelighters as roommate.. And if it weren't for here I would of never meet them.
And going to parties we would all have meet ups and I actually use to want to meet every bluelight that I could. Now.. I think alot of this place is becoming nothing but I joke to me. And it's sad because I use to tell people to join up all the time.
Now, I just come here when there is nothing else to do.
Exactly. And, it's a shame. It's a shame that I've seen many new people get ass-raped to the point where they go out of their way to say how Bluelight is not a welcoming place and how when they used to just lurk it seemed so great... then they signed up and think it sucks.
Why do we have to run off all the new people? We were all new once. Some people just seem to be acting like elitist assholes. I've been on BL for 2.5 years, I have almost 5000 posts. Does that make me better than anybody on here? NO. Does moderator status make you better than anyone on here? Only in the sense that you have more "power" in your forum. Nobody should abuse that either.
I've met over 50 Bluelighters, 2 of whom I moved to another state to have as roommates. I feel like I have gotten A LOT out of Bluelight. I'd go through the list of all the good this site has brought to my life but it's gonna take me too long. Because there's a lot to say. And I agree with Frostyangel that things have changed over time. This place wasn't the way it used to be. Yeah I know... I can whine and bitch about it all I want but nobody gives a fuck and nothing will change.
This place is filled with so much garbage now. It's sad. When did extreme post-whoring become such a sport? When did intentionally annoying the fuck out of everyone become a hobby? When did making the new people go running off crying or starting over with a new username become the "induction" into BL?
Seriously... I've been around long enough to see a lot. I think it's gotten worse lately. How would you feel if you just registered and you got "welcomed" in this way. Why does it seem like we as a community don't WELCOME new people to join? I really don't understand it.
I laughed at this thread too. The AIM conversation was funny, and I'll admit to finding it funny. I think making him drive out to the house was over the line though. The AIM thing in itself wasn't so bad. If I was going to pull a joke on somebody I would have stopped it when he agreed to come by the house, and then said it was a joke.
I am not personally attacking Digital Duality for what he did. I am just saying that lately it seems that a lot of people are being unnecessarily mean to new people. A mild assraping isn't so bad. This is the lounge and things are to be taken lightly. But the new people don't know that yet.
And to anyone who wants to disagree with me, go for it. I don't care. I'm speaking my peace here because everyone is entitled to an opinion. You are entitled to disagree with me too
