Guys, first off, I have no bad feelings about any of you. This is a great board & I greatly enjoy coming here. Please don't take this the wrong way.
In some cases, depending on the subject, I might post something on a thread & for the longest time, noone else posts any other responses, although it's not every thread, mind you.
Or I may come up with an original thread all my own & in many cases, it takes several days to get one answer. I may ask if it should be on another board but I get no answer.
I confess I let my Fangirlism & Politics get out in the open & I often say something weird. If I've offended anyone, I am sorry.
Perhaps I'm paranoid & seeing something that isn't there. Maybe you have no issue with me. Maybe I'm an idiot who comes accross as seeking attention.
So, be honest. Am I a freak or am I just being self-conscious & paranoid?

This is the worst thread I've ever read, and it was obviously composed by a freak  I wouldn't take anything around here too personally. I myself will occasionally start an original thread, but they're rarely popular or overly busy (and honestly they're sometimes downright stupid), but I also try not to worry about it. More often I just try to contribute in threads I find interesting. To be fair, I don't hang out in a lot of the various boards you do on this site, but if you're looking for some affirmation, no, I don't think you're a freak. Just follow the board rules, listen to constructive criticism and obey the admin overlords and you'll probably find what you're looking for on this board. So there. An honest answer from a member who doesn't know much  |

Yeah, the best way to get along around here is not to worry about what other people think of you. Just post what you think is smart, funny, and interesting. Some of it will stick, and some of it won't. Over time, pretty much everyone will warm up to you just fine. The worst thing you can do is to sit and stew over what you think everyone else is thinking. No one wins that game. If you cross a line, one of us admins will let you know in a friendly way.
I'll say that I, personally, am not a fan of fangirlism. Maybe because I've met most of the Brains and think of them as real people and not fictional characters, it just strikes me as a bit creepy. Then again, I don't get why girls are attracted to effeminate vampires, either; yet a few million Twilight fans would say that I'm the crazy one. So what do I know?

While the above advice is very kind, I'll go out on a limb and say that if you feel the need to start a thread like this in the middle of Gen Chat there may be an issue or two you need to work out. It may be the kind of issue best worked out privately, too. Or maybe in Observer's Brain.

But I'm not bitter. I have eternity to contemplate my fate.  |

Everyone is a freak. And the one's who don't think they are freaks are the freakiest ones of all.
I can understand how it can be frustrating when you feel the need to gab about something and people aren't in a gabbing mood. But, unless your name is M-Fab, I don't think theirs any malicious intent if a thread is ignored.

Msmystie3000, I know exactly how you feel. I've not only decapitated a few threads, but every-time I post something I'm afraid I've offended a few 100 people on this board. I'm either making them laugh or they're starting a hunting party to come and look for me.
So, I like your posts. It means I'm not alone in being hunted down by an angry mob. Keep up the good work! ;D

Also, though this seems weird, it's summer, and I've noticed that posting and counter-posting dries up a little during the summer.
I always check to see if people have responded to my posts, but I don't worry about it. Neither should you. Sometimes nobody else is that interested in something I think is cool. Remember, the only thing we KNOW we have in common is a general interest in MST3K. Other than that, it's the same grab-bag of personality types you'd find on a town bus or at the beach.

MsMystie, everyone here knows I'm the Original Thread Killer!
If threads were men, then I've killed more men than Cecil B. Demille.
Seriously, when I look at the right edge of the main menu and see my name, still there because no one has posted after I did, it seems like I'm being intentionally ignored.
So it's all in your head. Your warped, fan-girlish, SQUEEEE'd-out little head...
I really liked the Satoris avatar, by the way. You Nut!
