Lately I've been getting so pissed off so easily

I didn't know I could have that time of the month, but seriously, last two weeks have been sheer and utter hell. Any other guys go through this?

wait okay so that doesn't have to do with SG

what I wanted to say about SG was I turned it from "love it" to "hate it"

and this is pretty much why: (exerpt from my journal)

anyone else feel this way? Or do I just feel like this because i'm going through my little PMS fit these last two weeks.

I know how you feel (well actually I don't have a penis) but we can all feel a little like that here sometimes. Consider the fact that some SG's probably get loads of messages to reply to and they, like you, might have loads of stuff on their mind, be too busy, forget etc. It's only human.

Give it some time, you've only been here a couple of months.

hmmm...

is "wtf" appropriate in this case?

well, i guess i am glad you don't hate gay people and women

Well your avatar reads 83 comments in 4-5 months and your profile has 5-6 comments in it.

I'd surmise that you haven't been that active. The action is not going to come to you. Get involved around here.

yeah, i do certainly consider that. Of course I'd never go back and message someone again and be like "why the fuck didn't you message me back?!"

And true, I am leaving messages on recent photosets. So I guess patience is key, but after a while it's like "everyone can't still be busy can they?"

geez i'm so demanding, hey?

if you want people to notice you, make "HearseMoticons"

hmmm okay comments on the last two replies

i don't know a lot of people on here, guess that's why it feels wierd to post things up on the boards. Actually this is really the first time i've posted up on the boards. I haven't really learned the ettiquite. Didn't want to offend anyone if I posted a thread that had already been posted a million times, or was something that people just don't find interesting around here.

Lucy: obviously I know the models don't get paid to talk to you. But I didn't know that there was a hierarchy like
1.models
2.photographers
3.people who have been here a long time
4. me

I thought it was like, a community where although the girls do model for the enjoyment of the paying customers that are members, that generally we all got to interact. I was basically told by my friend who got me to sign up, that this was the best and friendliest online community there is. I was really interested in seeing that dynamic. I've seen it somewhat but I don't know if it sort of exceeds the way a lot of other communities operate. Well, maybe I don't know about that, but I will say I'm not sure it's lived up to the expectations that he set when I signed up. I still feel sort of segregated in some ways.

Well, you've been here as long as me and you have a) less comments on the boards and b) less friends. So, I'd say get involved!

And I'm sure the SGs get tonnes of comments everyday and may not have time to reply to them. In fact, some SGs actually have lives outside of this site! Wow. Amazing, huh?

Dude, forget heirarchy, you're whining.

When you first get to a bar you've never been to, do all the regulars jump up and go, "HEARSE83!" No, take your time, ease in. Get on the boards and participate, and in 6 weeks you won't be able to remember a time when you weren't a member here.

I'm not trying to bust balls, I'm just telling you how it is.

Also, join some groups.

I second this. In my first few months, I made the majority of my friends from being in the same groups as them.

well i know i'm whining, i'm not out to get journal hits or anything. I was just wondering if there was a change in the site, or if it was just me.

i totally get the board/bar analogy. makes sense. I have joined some groups but they're not extremely active. SGCanadaWest is mainly my friends, and I'm also a really big car nut, which just doesn't seem to have that many fans around here (the hot rod group is dead, dead, dead)

but yeah, i totally get what you guys are saying, get involved is the answer.

the attitudes of certain individuals has been irrittating the living shit out of me as of late.

i think you forgot somewhere that for the majority of us members here, we're just a picture and a name. do you realize how hard it is for a picture and a name to stick out on a HUGE list of pictures and names?

not to beat a dead horse, but fuck it. you've got to make an effort to get noticed. try not to complain so much when doing so and things will be enjoyable at least.

and thank you, again, saraphine for the flowers after your set went up. they were beautiful.

Don't focus so much on the replies you don't get; but instead embrace those that you do.


And according to some members, the boards were more friendly in the past.

yeah, i get it. i get what you guys are saying totally. like i said, i'm also pms'ing this week, or something, so i am being whiney for some reason. something is just bugging the hell out of me and i'm not sure what it is.

This is true...look at me...but I also feel a silent hatred for the things I do by many

They were also much smaller and more intimate, and the majority of the members shared common interests and a common sense of humor.

Groups are the place to find that camaraderie now.
