I think that blog brought up a wrong impression of GSB.
This is just a rant about my opinion on this whole thing and you might bash it or agree to it. It bugs me so much that I just can''t shut my mouth.
I'm mostly referring to this blog..
So I think I finally figured out how it started. Someone decided to write a blog about rules for newbies (btw I really dislike the term n00b). And then a newbie intruduced herself and people shoved that blog in her face. It's just a natural consequence that she reacted with dislike and started to denounce it.
And if you ask me, this blog brings up a wrong impression of GSB. It makes us seem like a dictatorship.
First of all newbies are always welcome. And no, they do not need to sit and wait and observe before they write something. Intruduce yourself, try to make friends, talk to people. The best thing to start that is on the I'm New - Thread.
The only real rules you have to follow are the official GSB rules.
Furthermore, if you so desperatly need to find one, the only real GSB Popular or Main Person is Dujo.
There are people on this site who are more or less known. That's not a big deal.
Most people on GSB probably use the Message Board anyway. And you know what I noticed? There are well known users there, but none of them bashes this into anyone's face.
In the Blah Blahs, nevertheless, it seems to be different. And what really bugs me there is when some people there think they are the main person and everything revolves around them. I read a funny comment from someone saying: The blahs are MY area as it is dubbed and i will not have some noob pissing everyone off. The Blah Blah is no one's area and everyone is welcome to chat about whatever they like there.
In another point the blog I'm talking about says: Likewise, don’t expect any sympathy from us just because you are new. We are vicious and won’t hesistate to rip apart a new person if we feel shitty.. So what does this tell someone who is new? Better leave and never come back? And I don't think this speaks for all GSBians. To be honest, I think it only speaks for 1%.
If this hasn’t scared you n00bs away, welcome to the site! . Well it sure would have scared me away.
So all I have to say now is:
Welcome everyone who is new. Be youself, talk to people, get involved, make friends. Find your favourite place on here. You can discover the Blah Blahs (including the Tagboard), the Blogs, the Message Board, the Chatroom or the articles or all at the same time (;
But most of all: have fun. If someone tries to look down on you or get you down, ignore them. There are hundreds and thousands of nice and welcoming people here.
Some people on here really need to learn how to be nice :/// and that really bugs me.

I actually read it 5 times
sorry I guess I don't understand sarcasmn.
end of this story.

Oh for the love of all things shiny- just please get over the damn thing and stop acting like I'm the next Hitler.
The whole blog was never meant to be serious- if it was, I wouldn't talk down to people like that. I know how confusing new websites can be and how much you need support. There was some good advice in there- but like I said before, it was more like a parody then actual fact.
I know most of you think I'm an a$. I know most of you think I'm a mean, bitter person. But most of the stuff you protested against was taken out of context. If you read the subtext, it was meant to be more sarcastic humour then actual "rules" as such.
I apologise now if I offended anyone, or made anyone angry, but next time, you might want to read it again before actually ostrisising me about it, or Jimmy (because he is technically right- I wrote it, if someone needs to take the sh*t, it's the author, never an idea's person).
And I deleted it, so that should make you happy

I'm quite proud of my GSB Survival Guide Blog, which was really the first one. I started a trend. Lolz?
Just kidding, well put and nicely said. =)
But I AM rather fond of n00blet. "n00blet" is something that I call GSB newbies whom I have grown attached to. Isn't it cute? xD

I know I'd definitely rather be welcomed by this blog.
That other blog was such a waste of time & incredibly silly.
If people just sit back & observe, how will they be themself & make friends? If they watch us, then they'd just be trying to fit in & act different.
This is definitely blog of the week, month, year.. [[: Forever.

To be honest, that is a nicer welcoming to a site.

*claps*
Fianally.
I remember when i first started here on the old gsb, people gave me a bit of sh*t, but it seems to have gotten worse. i remember we used to complain about all the "guests" online telling them to join, why the f*ck would they want to if that much sh*t was gonna be rammed in their face?
great blog <3
[[PoliticalPunk.]], May 23rd, 2007 at 10:22:45pm
we used to talk alot though. and you were different then :/
and if you read that blog. don't you understand a tiny bit why we got that upset?
Love, May 23rd, 2007 at 06:18:22pm
You may be my 'friend' and GSB mom.
But we dont talk.
You dont actually know how i feel about thisd whole popularity thing.
People have been bugging me alot lately; And it's causing me to lash out on people that dont deserve it. And i know full well they dont; But until people leave me alone. It's goig to stay that way.
People are saying things about me, Blaming things on me and annoying me to no end.
Im nt in the mood to put up with smart mouth newbies. Im sorry.
I apologised, and she did.
Tholomew Plague, May 23rd, 2007 at 06:13:59pm
still jimmy. you know I'm your Gsb mom and we're friends and all...but you have this attitude about your "popularity" (which isn't even one) that's just not right ://
Love, May 23rd, 2007 at 06:09:58pm
I was in a bad mood when i wrote those comments. I've explained that and i already apologisd to her for that.
I did NOT co write that blog; I told her a few things; She wrote it all herself.
I was just PMed.
That's all.
Tholomew Plague, May 23rd, 2007 at 06:08:28pm
well you co-wrote it.
and your comments on that girl's BB were stupid too.
and basically it's the attitude of putting you as GSB God.
Love, May 23rd, 2007 at 06:04:18pm
I agree; But i dont see why you all attacked ME when i was not the publisher of that blog.
Tholomew Plague, May 23rd, 2007 at 05:46:58pm
i totally agree with you
that blog is just..........bossy D:
