Will we close the Game Discussion area?
Admin | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:04 pm  The game discussion area will soon close, consider yourselves warned. The game is over, and the level of negativity is rising. I hope you can all find other areas of the site to post under (and that doesn't mean to take your negativity to the Voyeur Challenge Area)! The new chat is up, it's in BETA mode I guess, there's lots of possibilities! Good luck! Thank you to everyone who participated in this game, it's been a growing experience. |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:08 pm  Admin--I'll get that message out tonight or in the morning...haven't forgotten. |
Jana | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:12 pm  YEAH!!!! THANK YOU GOD!!! (I MEAN NEIL!!) BURY THIS BABY....Ya'll hang in the reality room or members area....the nice ones can spread their niceness there and i'm sure you meanies will find another way to pester us.... If you guys play nice, maybe i will even start another hot tub thread..... |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:13 pm  Why? Don't you think we should be processing our experience in the game anymore? |
Misslibra | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:24 pm  Ocean ... LOL I can answer that for you with a big NO !  |
Guruchaz | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:26 pm  That sucks! I was actually trying to clean it up. Blah!  |
Misslibra | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:29 pm  Gur, you don't have enough soap and bleach !  |
Nikkid | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:30 pm  I agree Guru and Ocean... It was cleaning out. SIGH I don't get it anymore. Anyone who questions is an A-hole and negative? As much as I hate to, I think it's time for me to leave as well. I don't like this at all. I don't even know if I'm FAKE paranoid, or really paranoid. To the people I've gotten to know - I'll peek into the chat. I'm done with the board tho. This disturbs me, and I can use my time for more constructive things, where people value my opinions or questions. Or they can tell me I'm a horses behind and WHY. |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:37 pm  1. You will never please everyone. 2. There will always be negativity. 3. There will always be those who do not partake in the negativity. 4. If you let them control you, you are letting yourself be controlled; it's up to you. 5. Some want to shut everybody up. Why do you want to be one of them? |
Soeur | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:46 pm  in response to Ocean's post: 1. absolutely pointless to try 2. count on that, especially from those with issues around 'control' 3. "Hi!" include me in this group 4. hey, we are only controlled if we allow that to happen. Let our spirits rise to snap at the heels of the oppressors, 5. no way, absolutely not, nyet, nope, nein, nada, non absolutment, hey...am I getting too negative here? 6. I have just added Ocean to my list of 'good guys' |
Katie | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:47 pm  I think it should be left open. If it is closed, all of this negativity is going to carry over to the other areas of the board. I think this should be left open and people allowed to work it out of their system. I think if left alone, it will all work out. I am already less upset about what happened and I am sure other will be too if they can just get it out. People who don't want to be around it, can just not come here and soon no one will be here and it would die a natural death. |
Misslibra | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:51 pm  Ocean, I couldn't agree with you more. I just look around at other parts of the board, and it looks pretty dead to me. There are alot of interesting threads going on here beside discussing the game. But it looks like Neil is kicking our butts out !  |
Jana | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:52 pm  ok.....look....i love you all, i truly do...and Katie...I love you to death...but, BUT....this was a game and it's over....you really shouldn't let it upset your life that much....you should only get upset by things that are reality and directly impact your life....and I don't mean to point you out...a lot of my friends here seem to not be able to let go, and that truly worries me. There is nothing left to accomplish: no votes to sway...no contestants to root for... You are not going to be able to change anyone's mind on the way they think if we haven't already done it in 2000 posts... There is SO much fun stuff at this website if you just allow yourself to check it out and put this game to bed....pwetty pwease? |
Jana | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 03:54 pm  and as far as the fun threads that are here.....just move them over to the members area! cuz they don't have to do with the game anyways!....we will still be able to see all the game posts...it just means that we are moving it to the members area... MissLibra...you said the other areas are dead, but that is just because you guys won't move your little booties over there! :0 |
Ocean_Islands | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:03 pm  You know what? We're not cows to be herded from one pasture to the next. For example, how do you know I'm not interested in only this area? If it's closed, I may not come back. I don't think the library shuts off its controversial books in a safe so that nobody gets upset. |
Misslibra | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:05 pm  Katie, I'm very happy to see you back ! And what you said in your post was right on !! I think people need to work this out of their system. I must tell you i'm surprise to hear you say this, because I thought you would probably be agreeing more with Jana on this. But I think you, and Ocean both are absolutely right on this one. I wouldn't want to see you, or Kearie or Zelda to go anywhere, even though we may not always agree on things. Just wanted you to know that. Neil, can we take a vote on this ????? J/K  |
Jana | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:11 pm  You know what? We're not cows to be herded from one pasture to the next. - oooohhh the drama! because I thought you would probably be agreeing more with Jana on this. (miss libra= see this is where i feel like i don't have a lot in common with some of you...just because someone is my friend and i like them...talking internet people here....i will always support them, but that doesn't mean i will always agree with them I mean Zelda is my bestest bud, but I think she should be giving up on this game stuff too!...That doesn't mean i love her any less... I think that is the problem here sometimes is that people have formed such strong alliances that they would be willing to agree with anything anyone says as long as it is someone on their "side" and i am just not like that...i speak my mind.... what the hell were we talking about?....hmmm i just wanted to say that anyways... (p.s. anyone trying to email me, its broked for some reason) |
Misslibra | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:11 pm  Ok Jana, I'll move my little bootie, where to ?? Where ever it's to, I hope it's a party with lots of Men, and plenty to drink ... LOL You know what we need more Men in this club, Ocean do you have any male friends ??  |
Jana | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:21 pm  sounds good Misslibra....go to the members area discussion.....i suggest you start a thread demanding eligible men to send us pictures of them.....i mean...if YOU want them to.... |
Adven39 | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:23 pm  At the risk of awaking to one of those little "crap" clipart icons under this post tomorrow morning, I agree that the decision to close this area of the board is not the best one. This area is still receiving far more posts than any other and the negativity that Neil alludes to is working itself out. Cutting off dialogue when many still wish to post here seems counterproductive. Besides, I want to see Ocean's final review of the Game. |
Misslibra | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:27 pm  Jana, I will take your advice  |
Katie | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:28 pm  I might disagree with what someone says, but I respect their right to think or feel it. Jana and I agree on somethings and disagree on others. Doesn't change how I feel about her. I have a lot of respect for her and love her.(BTW Jana, I KNEW you were right about the names when you first posted them. I had come up with the same matches but it was fun just playing with it lol) Actually doing the game, I disagreed with almost everyone because Eddie was not one of my favorites and I did like Jamie. But that is ok with me. We all are different and life would be boring if we all agreed and unbearable if we all disagreed. Strangely enough the more I post here in this area, the easier it is to let go of it. It is starting to have less hold on me. It is more like what was the big deal that I was so upset about. I am going over to the member room to find something new now. If I can't find something I like I can just start one. |
Soeur | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:30 pm  Boy, Adven I sure have missed you in the user profiles area. Forgive my use of but I think we can redeem the 'lil guy. Also, he seems more sheepish or worried than ~constipated~. After spending so much time in the user profiles I have finally started venturing out into other areas and hope that it does not shut down soon. The posts are worthwhile reading and probably theraputic for some. As I spend more time here I am increasingly of the opinion that the host is to be commended for providing such a forum for so many. This whole experience has been a real eye-opener  |
Adven39 | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:37 pm  Soeur - I was over there a while ago, but must have missed you. Crap! |
Wcv63 | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:41 pm  I like this area - even the negative parts. Yes the negativity can product a lot of strong emotions. There is nothing wrong with feeling passionate about a subject and discussing the points that interest you. The Big Brother area wasn't shut down to posting once the show was over because people still wanted to talk about the show. |
Soeur | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 04:44 pm  Awww! don't tell me that! its the story of my life... The bus that just left... The 'one' that got away... The last fresh bagel sold to the man in front (who looked like he was buying lots of other stuff anyway)...But hey! since I missed the bus I decided to walk and tightened those <um> gluteals. The fish swam off and I ate veggie pizza instead...hmmm, can't think of anything to replace that bagel, though... |
Katie | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 05:26 pm  Well check out the member room. We have all sorts of goodies to eat over there. |
Soeur | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 05:30 pm  Oh! no you don't! I just found some stale gum in my pocket...I won't starve and am staying here until they turn out the lights (does my bluster pass muster?) |
Lafatme | Friday, November 03, 2000 - 06:26 pm  i hope we get a warning before it closes. it seems i'm the "last angry man" here, but it is dissipating a little every day. i was a little angry this morning, but not even half as much as wednesday. i've told others to give it another 48 hrs or so and it will subside on it's own. if neil has this area open monday i'll bet it will have lost interest to most by then anyway. those who want to keep talking about the game, which may include me, i don't know, will just do it elsewhere. i think it should stay here till it dies on it's own. but it's neil's call. |
