View Full Version : Anybody else tired of the forum roleplaying?
Anybody else kind of feel ... left outside in the cold with about .6% of the rest of the forum? It kind of feels like most of the form is wrapped in some sort of uber cool gang or brotherhood or sect of speaking queer right now or something.
It actualy makes the place a kind of boring place to be. Probably just me :whistle:.
Yep its been like that for a little while now, I wouldn't say its the whole forum, a handful of people?

I actually dont have a clue what anyones saying/going on about any more. I usually just post in BB10 & Designs now.
If I discovered this place in 08/09 Im not sure if I would have joined.

Everyones friendship group has changed IMO
6 months ago I wasn't friends with anyone because I was going through my moody phase and 9 months ago it was you, me, annie, tom and someone else (is it bad I can't remember who?)
And now I can't reaaally be in a clique but when I wasn't a mod I was closer with Shaun/Zee/Etc.

Well, it is *one* of the roleplaying cliches going on around here. I know it is not all the forum, but a vast majority of the kind of members who post quiet a lot are in these crazy kid clubs, and I cant see the fun in sharing my forum personality or signature with about fifteen other people. It makes the place so dry to be around.

u cant expect ppl that know each other on here for a while to speak to each other like they dont know each other just so new ppl feel welcome, if the new people, including myself join in with ppls conversations then they will become part of the group too, dont u think?

I think you completely missed the point, Jack. We can all know each other and post as individuals without being dragged down and classed into boring fantasy alter ego's that center around making all the members of the forum exactly like one another. That is boring, my friend.
It's not just so much 'cliques' because thats a personal thing. Their is also just plain old 'groups' - both formal and informal, that make it feel like the forum has ... oh say ... twelve ... members?

I'm a bit confused to what you mean.
It's not to 15 other people anyway - I read all the brotherhood posts (well I kind of have to) and it's not like their personality is different in any other group.
It's only natural to make friends on forums and be close to some, it shouldn't hinder you from joining in.

Hold yer horses, pun intended, nothing bugs me. Like I said first and foremost this is not a personal issue, it is just something I feel has made the forum less entertaining. Honestly, it just bores me to tears a lot of the time now. And it is nothing specifically to do with one thread.
I remember about a year ago when somebody told me far too much of what was happening in MSN convorsations spilt out onto the forum and the topics became private playgrounds of whoever inhabited them. I never understood that point but I do now. I click on about fifteen threads a day now where the contents are 'bbz' and about eight other members will reply 'lolz!' and im just like 'huh?'.

As for the 'roleplaying' I don't really see an issue with it. We're on a thing called the internet. I'm sure you've been away too, so maybe you shouldn't complain after 2 days of being back that you don't understand or 'fit in'.

Agreed :P
And back on topic... err. I guess I could be interpreted to be a part of the whole roleplaying/in-crowd thing. But ultimately, it's just harmless fun between those involved.
The only time it gets out of hand is when some paranoid, insecure 'outsider' thinks they're under attack from said 'clique', or starts treating the clique as all having the same people.
I know I have a very different personality from Mark, Gary, Hugo etc. So I'd hate to think that just because I occasionally scream camply at them through words (LOL), I'm treated as just another clone of them.
Don't feel threatened by it.

What has being away got to do with it? It was more or less the same when I left. I just find it amazingly boring, simple as. The whole forum and anything that was interesting about it has whittled down to just a few core members who were here all along, a load of twelve year old nutters, and lots of pop music fanatics. It's like one giant private joke you either get or you dont.
Theirs no real argument and theirs nothing serious about it, I just find it all so incredibly boring hence the thread. We are the forum equivalent of random humor. The first time somebody screams ''Cheeze!'' you give it a chuckle because it is so 'random' and 'crazy' but after awhile you realise it is just throwing out any old words in nonsensical order.
''We're on a thing called the internet. '' ... genius.
I find it boring too, luckily the OMGZZZZZZZ threads have died down... a bit.

Do you not think you're stereotyping a bit though? In Serious Debates you're not going to come across "LOL" "jkz" "bbz" and the like; doesn't mean you instantly becoming boring; you get good quality posts in there and get meaningful discussions out of people. So you maybe don't want to be in there; and you don't like what's around, either make your own fun or don't stick around if it's not what you want?

I'm not taking the forum way too seriously; you asked if anyone's tired of 'forum roleplaying', I suggested where you could go if you were bored of that kind of thing, you then went on to ridicule my suggestion and then tell me I'm taking it too seriously just because I'm doing more than "LOL at this thread"? This is one big contradiction. Just trying to be helpful...

Since this thread is partly about the whole Occult/Brotherhood malarky...and I'm the person who started the Occult (previously known as The Cult of lili).. I'd like to just add my point of view.
I am incredibly bored. I await the launch of BB, and I don't like all the pre-BB crap (eye flash, sneak peak, potential housemates etc.)
So, I avoid the BB area of this forum, cuz it's full of aforementioned crap.
But I do like chatting to some of the people on this forum, so I hang about in the non-BB area, and kill time by talking shiite.
I created a group to oppose Andyman's brotherhood. Originally the 'Cult of lili' thread was made so I could publicly take the strop with Andy for not inviting me to his thread. (A joke, clearly). Andy is actually one of my favourite members on here, and I enjoy chatting with him.. always have.
It then escalated into an actual group of people who wished to join the 'anti-brotherhood' movement.
Again, this was just a bit of fun. Nobody was excluded and it was all just light-hearted drivel.
I don't think it's taken over the rest of the forum. I don't think I'm a member of a clique, and I didn't think it bothered anyone to be honest.
It was just a way of killing time til launch..

Oh for the love of...
I would not say 'riddicule' I simply told you, in a manner of words, I would rather not spend a whole heap of time in Serious Debates. It seemed like a silly suggestion to make. Seriously. Thats it. Im trying to argue with you here but their is seriously nothing to argue.
And Linda, the thread was not really aimed at the whole cult/brotherhood shindig either. To be honest the whole Cult Of Camp [great term I just invented] bugs me more. Again, none of it is enough to piss me off, the jist of the thread was more ''Jeez, this is a really old joke now. It makes the forum less varied''.
**** it, maybe im getting too old :whistle:.

You are not getting too old.
There are certain 'groups' on here who don't have their own thread, and don't have names or userbars, and those are the ones which I don't particularly like.
I get where you're coming from now. I genuinely did think you meant the Cult/Brotherhood crapola.. which kinda confused me a little, cuz they are only 2 threads,, but now I'm starting to see what and who you are actually referring to. :D

Why are you taking this so seriously? Is there any need for the "oh for the love of..."? I'm not attempting to provoke an argument with you either. Have you essentially posted a gripe about how boring you find the forum that's hit three pages; and you're not really looking for any kind of solution? Make your own fun; if you don't see anything you like on here then post something you do like? I mean no offense, and I hope none was taken :spin2:.

I am incredibly bored. I await the launch of BB, and I don't like all the pre-BB c**p (eye flash, sneak peak, potential housemates etc.)
So, I avoid the BB area of this forum, cuz it's full of aforementioned c**p.
But I do like chatting to some of the people on this forum, so I hang about in the non-BB area, and kill time by talking shiite.
I created a group to oppose Andyman's brotherhood. Originally the 'Cult of lili' thread was made so I could publicly take the strop with Andy for not inviting me to his thread. (A joke, clearly). Andy is actually one of my favourite members on here, and I enjoy chatting with him.. always have.
It then escalated into an actual group of people who wished to join the 'anti-brotherhood' movement.
Again, this was just a bit of fun. Nobody was excluded and it was all just light-hearted drivel.
I don't think it's taken over the rest of the forum. I don't think I'm a member of a clique, and I didn't think it bothered anyone to be honest.
It was just a way of killing time til launch..
well said :] andyman's a babe. I like most of the Brotherhood members :p

I'm not taking the forum way too seriously; you asked if anyone's tired of 'forum roleplaying', I suggested where you could go if you were bored of that kind of thing, you then went on to ridicule my suggestion and then tell me I'm taking it too seriously just because I'm doing more than "LOL at this thread"? This is one big contradiction. Just trying to be helpful...
Oh for the love of...
I would not say 'riddicule' I simply told you, in a manner of words, I would rather not spend a whole heap of time in Serious Debates. It seemed like a silly suggestion to make. Seriously. Thats it. Im trying to argue with you here but their is seriously nothing to argue.
Why are you taking this so seriously? Is there any need for the "oh for the love of..."? I'm not attempting to provoke an argument with you either. Have you essentially posted a gripe about how boring you find the forum that's hit three pages; and you're not really looking for any kind of solution? Make your own fun; if you don't see anything you like on here then post something you do like? I mean no offense, and I hope none was taken :spin2:.
Im not taking anything serious. Now therin lies the problem. Neither of us can prove that fact to the other, such is the nature of the internet. Theirs no need to tip toe around me, I aint a forum monster, lets just mutually agree that neither one of us is taking this serious :wink:.
'Oh for the love of...' was because I am trying to explain something that cant really be explained all that well. I dont see the whole 'solutions' thing being viable. Im not looking to add stuff to the forum, im looking to take stuff away. Namely the utterly lame, long past it's sell by date Random~Ker@zyCAMPOMFG sense of humor.
