The thread for the chewers who don't really fit in - Page 2

You always have my dear, you always have.

*smooches*

Really good posts, Kirby.

I posted in here because I just feel left out sometimes. Sure, my name never pops up in the 'My favorite Chud members...' type posts, and that doesn't bother me very much. There are thousands of members here, and it's very easy to overlook many of them when making lists. It's just that for quite a while, I've found it interesting that the boards have begun to reflect my personal life; in big crowds, I tend to go unnoticed.

I know it's natural for certain people to prefer to talk to specific others, it's just a certain friendship, or hatred, that belongs between certain individuals. But the fact that I feel that I go unnoticed about 90% of the time makes me wonder whether some read my posts, or even care about them. I've put in my time at Chud, having registered here in late 2000, and always attempting to put up good posts, never any filler. I always figured that this two things put together would give me more notice around here. I don't really care if people like me or not here, but I do care if people pay attention.

Like I mentioned earlier, I don't fit into crowds too well. Among 2-3 friends, I'm able to get my word in a-ok, and even going to crowds of 5-7, things can be good as well. But in much bigger crowds, I do tend to disappear, and go unheard. Yes, I can be the quiet, shy type, but there's also the factor about who much do some of my friends actually care that I am indeed there with them. THAT's what this thread is about. It's not about being the losers of the boards. That title is reserved for the shills, the LOL posters, and anyone outside of Django who just posts around to pick a fight.

Most of the people who have posted in here have put their time in Chud to deserve recognition. They didn't post here to bitch that nobody loves them. I think they all know they are liked on the boards, but just not at the forefront, and that makes people question whether they should be here at all then, if people never talk about them.

I think I fit in this group, although I'm completely not bitter, just don't post as much as some other folks.

I love what this thread has become. These points definitely needed to be brought out. I've been feeling them all along, glad to see that others have been as well.

I feel alienated because the usual suspects get mentioned (you know who they are, one only need to look up a few posts to see Cosmic Ray's post) and while they have a right to be mentioned, everyone else falls wayside.

I didn't burst onto the scene and immediately become a "post whore", I didn't burst onto the scene by being a dick to someone else (which many people have done and still do), and I certainly know that the "silent majority" here at chud didn't as well. We've come quietly and respectfully. I'd like to stay (if only for a little while).

And sometimes it's unfortunate, but it feels like we've been left out.

And captain supermarket, I understand. Thanks for your post.

Well, I'm just the Dr. Phil of the message boards; just trying to make everyone feel better by pointing out the obvious.

Ok, so that was lame of me. Or misplaced at least. I wasn't commenting on anyone in particular, or any of the posts in this thread, just the overall vibe of this forum recently.

I very much belong in this thread and some of the things others have said apply to me as well. However, long ago I let go of any need for notoriety around these parts. I really don't mind not being mentioned in the Love threads or any of that. Hey, it's nice if it happens, but if it doesn't, it ain't gonna ruin my day.

Actually I like this thread a lot, you guys have verbalized many of my own thoughts about these Sewer dynamics rather well.

And for the record, I don't have anything against you Kiteless, nor do I mind the dump of my rating. Assuming it was you, that is.

Ummm, what? I don't even know who you are. You just happened to post in between me and the thread I was answering, so I had to edit it for quoting (hence my faux "grrrr"). That's all. No hard feelings, man. I don't play the "rating game." I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Ha! Somebody else just dumped it even harder!

Kite, I also called you out by name in the "close this forum" thread, thought that was why.

I just gave you a 5, if that means anything.

Oh, well in that case I can't lower your rating fast enough!!!

Here, I'll give you a 5 just to prove how great I really am!

Way to hijack the thread boys...

5 posts does not a hijack, make.

We can show you a hijack...eh Kite?

...just not here.

.........

I thought I belonged here about 3 months ago. I wasn't mentioned anywhere and the bulk of my posts would go unnoticed. Then I became active in the Chat and the Sewer and some of the more mainstream forums and now I notice my name on some lists {and it feels good, dammit}!

I read a lot of the stuff on this board.
Sometimes I hand in my two cents, but usually I just talk to myself here in my chair.
If you include all those conversations, I'd have about a thousand posts.

Although Dances with Chainsaws has several good points don't not listen to him. And bring me his entrails...

I Loves you all, only HellSpawn loves you, my children of the night. Embraces darkness and follow MY order and our wrath shall shake the foundation of this board, we will crush our enemies and drink their blood and have at their women...

Oh! BTW I am HellSpawn And I am a chewers that doesn't really fit in. But hey at least I'm Cool

Cheers!

Yer damn right you are, HellSpawn...Yer damn right.....

I think some people took this thread way to seriously.

Could be worse, posters in this thread may start taking on the regulars.....naturally, I'd play both sides against each other till they're down to manageable numbers and restore some peace here, for I am Wolfwood, The Man with No Discernable Personality...

Violence, bloodshed and margaritas... it's the onlyreal way to get your name out there.

If there is indeed mutiny in the air, and the days of the elder Chewers are numdered, I'm taking bets, and providing drinks. We can watch it all go down on my big screen...

I'm still kinda new here, but I'm getting the feeling that I'll be joining the ranks of the chewers in the shadows. It's happened before on other message boards, I'm used to it. Actually, not having much of an established rep helps when it comes to debates; it's easier to stay on topic when you're not one of the Mighty.
