What's with that?
Something like this was most likely posted before, but I'm too lazy to look and read. I'm a lot less lazy when it comes to typing. This is a rant as a matter of fact.
The real point of this Blog is to for answers. Answering the question What's with that?
You might be thinking and asking yourself what that is, but that is simply just a couple "trends" or whatnot on GSB. Most people on the site do at least one of these things at one point, but then they came to ask themselves "What's with that?" One of the "thats" are GSB families. What the point? For just roleplaying that you're a family? Or is it just something to list a couple names in your profile and act like you know all of them like you're best buddies. GSB hubbies and wifeys. Pets and kids. What IS the point of them? I've never found out, and this is one of the things I've did. For a day or so, then I asked myself the question WHY are GSB families made? So then I stopped. I thought they were stupid and pointless, which basically, they are.
Another that is GSB clubs. They're everywhere, and their just like groups on MySpace, except harder to keep in contact with the other people in it. Some of them are just plain stupid and random. I used to have one, then of course once again, I asked myself "What's with that anyway?" So I stopped. I took the image out of my profile and never spoke about it again, until of course now. They're just like picture decorations for your profile. If you want an image, ask someone on the site to make one, or make one yourself. GSB clubs have basically no point to them at all.
Another thing is spamming. Like spamming each other's comments just to get your page higher. Spamming each other's Blahblah's so people will read them. It's pointless, and when people spam comments and whatnot, the comments should get deleted. When people spam Blahblahs with 5 Blahblahs in a row having basically no point to them, a mod should be there to delete them, or else the Blahblahs are going to flood and all hell will break loose. I think this should also result in a ban.
Just sharing with you...

I agree with you... i find the GSB family stuff interesting, but nothing really that special. I've never been in a club...i couldnt care less. But i do think that it could be fun. As for spamming...couldn't care less.

Yeah, same with clubs. I made one, then I changed my name, and I decided not to make a new image.

Isabel [Vegemite], some people actually want some internet privacy, and don't want people to discover their real age. It's just a matter of personal security.
As for the families, i've never really thought anything of it, but it's really hard to have one when people change their usernames constantly.

you know what another one is. When people claim to be 85/86 and male.
Oh Snap.
Vegemite, May 21st, 2007 at 03:29:41am
I have no clubs on my profile, I did.
I have no GSB families, I did.
Therefore, I completely agree.

What I meant by Blahblah spam is posting a ton of Blahblahs in a row. It just ticks me off.

I know all of the little cliques on the message board are close friends, it isnt about fitting in, its about having fun with your friends from what I've gathered. And blah blahs were made soley for the purpose of spam, you just can't leave chain comments.
Kurtni, May 20th, 2007 at 02:51:54pm
I just want to know what the purpose of families and random clubs. Is it just to fit in with the community or something?
Protest, May 20th, 2007 at 02:17:17pm
there is no point to gsb families, but its fun, and its not against the law is it? And whats so wrong with random clubs, y r u so botherd by it? I agree with u on the spamming, everyone else likes it, so i don't really have a problem with it.
LittleMissGreenday, May 20th, 2007 at 02:07:08pm
Yeah, I agree with most of this. Especially about the spamming thing.
It plain annoying.
I like the GSB family idea though. It makes everyone have a sense of belonging on the internet and most people here want to be accepted and it's a great excuse to become better friends with people.
But nice blog
