lollipop_monkey Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I think what Melanie is trying to say - and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong - is that sometimes the MFC feels a bit like a high school cafeteria. Each group has its own table, and sometimes it's a bit nervewracking to try and bring your chips and salad to a table that's full of people who already seem to have a connection with each other, because of the fear you may not be welcome. As I alluded to in my last post, threads that single members out only add to that. The only real recommendation I can make is for members to be aware that no matter how "at home" they may feel in a particular thread, there are always going to be other members walking into it - and if at all possible, we should try to welcome people into any and all threads. The MFC is strikingly different than most forums in terms of how community-based and welcoming it is - I'd really like to see that maintained.

findingmywords Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 hmmm. i agree with you Melanie. Sometimes you can just feel left out and some of the people here don't accept you. Like they're holding something against you. I've felt that way sometimes. I hope I've never made anyone feel that way! Maybe it's coz it's an online forum, and you can take some things the wrong way. I dont know, but sometimes I feel scared of what I write, coz you never know what someone can say to you. We don't know everyone in person and it can just get overwhelming a little bit. I hope im making sense haha. I love everyone here, but I just wish we could all get together and not be separated into groups. It sometimes feel scary to join in someones conversation. I don't have very many friends on MFC, but I still adore talking to you all. most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's what I wanted to say:wink2: People are very WELCOMING...but that's not the issue in terms of the members who are constantly on here... Sure everyone likes you when you first join...but than they don't because I dunno. To be honest: Things changed for me...WHEN I DID THE YEARBOOK PROJECT...

The only people who's age really matters on here, to me, are the 12 year olds who are very hard to understand. lots of this: lol kk so meeka is liek so hot n i dnt no y he wd be g*y! lolz i knt evin brng m.self 2 saythat word.

heineken22 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Alright, I have the truth wand. Hilary, I only told Hollis your haircut was hideous because I'm jealous that I don't have your perfect highlights and my split ends are showing. And sorry for calling you a slut. That was sort of uncalled for, even if you did totally like MACK on James in the parking lot after volleyball. *passes truth wand* *takes wand* *sniff* that's okay, Sarie. I'm sorry that I broke some of Hollis's glassware, and blamed it on you. And... i'm sorry about that time you got diarrhea in Barnes and Noble and I laughed at you, and I'm sorry I repeated it now.

Guest Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 *passes wand* *takes wand* Remember that time you were in that tent on the beach, and you'd peed yourself after too many flirtinis, and I promised I'd stand guard while Jenna went to get you that fresh pair of panties? well I might have left to go talk to Derek Johnson, and left the flap to the changing tent unattended. that's why everyone has those naked pictures of you. *wand hand-off* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Singled out?!bite me, whore! *shoves backpack on table* There's no room for you here. You. Me. Bike racks. After school. To be honest: Things changed for me...WHEN I DID THE YEARBOOK PROJECT... So the issue you have is not problems with established members and new members, but cliques among established members that appear to exclude other established members? And, how do you feel things changed after the yearbook? Guys - I have a date at a sushi restauarant, (zomg dynamite rolls!) so I'm outta here.

I think for me personally, everyone thought I was a show off after the yearbook. But I was just really proud of it that's all. People in that project thread kept jabbing things into me... and when I defended that book they saw me as really sensative... like I felt like I was the boss and was the only one to get credit...
