Ohhhh boy.
Again with the GSB wars? I know I missed something last night, and despite my overwhelming curiousity (I'm a busybody), I feel like I don't even want to know what happened.
But I do. So someone's gotta fill me in. Other than that, I have some stuff I'd like to say:
What. The. Hell. All of a sudden we're establishing cliques and rules? I mean, I love Funky Platypus, but Jesus Christ on a cracker!
"Woo there are groups on GSB!" Get over it. I mean yes, people in Blah Blahs can get on one's nerves quite easily, but now they're sluts? Dood. And yes, there are people who write the most brilliant, amazing stories and blogs and get no attention. But why not just recommend their stuff to other people instead of whining? Gawd I'm a hypocrite, because now I'm whining.
See? This whole mess has got Sruti all confused. And now she's talking in third person!
When I first joined, I saw the ideal place. People like me who don't fit into any clique. People who just hang out with their awesome friends and joke and love music and art. Just average Joes and Janes. Smart people, funny people, sarcastic people, artistic people. You know? Not one of the people I first talked to (and some I still talk to) put themselves into a label or category. They didn't know or care what label/clique they were. I always wanted a label, but I'm still looking for some of my screws. And then all of a sudden, well, gradually, GSB becomes clique-world. And now people are carefully outlining each one.
I mean, I see that there are divisions, that GSB is probably one of the scenest places on the internet, but do we have to define it? Forgive me if none of this makes sense, I'm just confused and a teeny bit annoyed.

Yeah...
I only joined gSBso that i could find people who share a love interest in Green day like i do. all my friends either hate or don't listen to Green Day.
This isn't high school, douches!
oh man....

I mean, it's fine if you call yourself part of a clique because of your threads. Like TPDC and Cheech Family or whatever. But wtfyuyrdvfgdsrgdethryzjnz is up with going "Psh I'm a journaler, I'm not into stories" ?

It makes sense, cause I KNEW I'd be getting SOME criticism with that journal, you know? I was just really bored and really, really sick people being really stupid on here. But I guess there are just some stupid people on here.
With the whole clique thing... you said it well, how people try and come on here to get away from them but then more are formed on here. I think it's an instinct, how we group ourselves based on our likes or how we relate to others. And that's okay, but when it gets to the point when we kind of only direct our attention to people we have common interests with, it isn't so open on here anymore, and eventually it leads to fights and negative feelings.
I guess by labeling the cliques and whatnot, we were just trying to make a statement. Because some are cool, but then some... isolate themselves... you know? I don't remember old GSB ever being like that, when I used to come on. BTW, I wasn't trying to make rules. I was just, like I said before, trying to state facts about GSB, for whatever reasons that crossed my mind.

It does make sense and it's true. I don't fit in with any of the cliques either and have friends that don't either. People come here to try to get away from the real world and yet people on here are just arguing on here and creating their own cliques.

It makes since, and I agree with you.
I don't really fit in with any of the cliques here, so I don't really have any friends.
Don't ask me why I still come here... o.o
