10 Things I Hate About You
Take this as my warning. Some of these things may seem a little harsh, but it's really gotten to me over the last couple weeks. I don't mean to be overly offensive to any of you. Hell, I don't even mean to offend some people on here at all, I just want to state my mind.
1. You guys never take anything seriously.
Someone on here could be in complete distress, crying their eyes out and just need a little advice on what to do. What do you guys do? "Oh you'll get over it." Seriously, I do not care who you think you are. What's the difference between one of your friends having a hard time and someone on here having a hard time? Be a little more sensitive to some topics and actually try keeping an open mind for once.
2. "You're 13."
Really guys? What happened to the whole "age is just a number" lifestyle we all went by not more than 2 years ago? Being 13 is no different than being 18. I know I'm almost 19 and everyone that has ever met me thinks I have a mentality of a 4 year old. Don't say "that's how we were treated on here at 13, that gives us the right to treat them like that" because that just makes you sound like heartless bitches. Not that you aren't at this point. Stop being so goddamn insensitive and have a damn heart for once. Treating them how you were treated isn't right. If that were the case, we'd still get hit on the ass with rulers and belts if we did something wrong.
3. Trolling.
For some reason, this is getting on my nerves. Somebody could say something completely serious and wanting a serious answer and there you guys go with all the bullshit again. At first it was funny, now it's just annoying and immature. You guys might as well be treated like shit along with how you treat the youngers.
4. Commenting
I haven't been on really in a while and when I am on it's only briefly. I try to talk to as many people as I can and comment on people's things, but being in a different country from all of you it gets hard, so I'm a little hypocritical on this one. But, like Laura is usually saying, comment on everybody's blahs and (not spammed) blogs. Selecting a small few just because you're friends and you're close to them makes others feel like you guys don't even care. Not that any of you really care about anything.
5. Moderators.
I know GSB has really gone down to the dogs lately. Which really sucks because this used to be my favorite website. But do not complain to Dujo every 15 seconds that we need Mods on here. They already know by now with the 2742812476384h38237 different emails/pms you sent them. Most of the Mods are in university right now, probably piled up with homework along with running Mibba and probably up to 8 other Dujoness websites. If Dujo wanted to put a new mod on here he would, but what's the point. There's only about 40 of us left and let's face it, practically none of us deserve to be a Mod.
6. Debating.
Debating is one of my favorite things to do. I love arguing with people endlessly about anything that comes to mind. One thing I do not like, however, is sometimes when people on here debate, they do it to an annoying level. Like saying "I'm not going to bother reading that because I'm too good for it." This tends to happen a lot, not in those exact words, but that's what I get out of it. If you're not looking for an argument, then don't comment.
7. Relationships.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Most of you guys are in a relationship. Now, with the exception of a few on here, most of the people in the relationship are in an unhappy relationship. I know it probably goes deeper than what you tell us on here, but it's pretty easy, if you're not happy with it, then don't be in it. Simple as that. There is no excuse, especially one that consists of "I just want to have attention" (or something that comes down to that), to be in a relationship that is abusive, repulsive or that simply isn't making you happy. Dump that fucker and get the hell out.
8. Self-esteem.
I know a lot of you suffer with self-esteem issues and have for a while. But no matter how hard we try to make you feel better or happier, it comes down to the same thing every time. "I'm ugly/fat/repulsive/blah blah blah." If you're going to keep saying this and not take anything anybody objects to, then just don't say it because I'm probably not the only one that gets sick of it.
9. Liveliness.
GSB is dead. It has been for a long time now. Everybody on here knows that. But still, this is like an online home for some of us, a place to talk to people who have no biased opinion of what you want to say or what happened at school blah blah blah. But in order to keep GSB from completely dying like it has been most nights and days, you have to comment/post something people are going to want to read. If you post "Hey" and then follow it up with "I'm bored" then nobody is really going to say anything but something along the lines of "go fucking do something".
10. Green Day.
I know, I know, most of you guys can't stand Green Day anymore. But this is what brought us all here. We all had this obsession at one point in our lives (some longer than others...) and that's why we joined in on this fansite. We wanted to talk to people about this amazing band and just how amazing they were. Now the way some of you guys talk about them makes me want to be sick. I don't care if you don't like them anymore, but some of us still love them and probably will always love them. But think, without them, none of us would even know each other. Sad panda.
Okay, yeah, so those are my thoughts of today and how irritated I've been lately with you guys. Some of you more than others and some not at all. Like I said, don't get overly offended or anything, just try and think about what I said and what you guys can do to actually make this place a better place to be.
1. You guys never take anything seriously.

I love this.
toybox trash, June 22nd, 2011 at 12:29:23am
the ones i love the most are, numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. IF YOU COULD FAVORITE BLOGS, THEN THIS WOULD BE MY #1!!!!!!
xxGirxx, June 16th, 2011 at 11:19:40pm
I completely agree with you! I've been looking on the blogs, and no one has been completely serious about anything. Glad you understand, i feel the same the same way about what GSB is now. It was not only 2 years ago that everyone was active.... I wish i could help change GSB a bit, i feel that i haven't been helping any much lately
Goodbye, May 21st, 2011 at 03:34:13pm
i love this blog. its now my fav. I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY ;DDDD
xxGirxx, May 17th, 2011 at 11:09:07pm

IT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOUUUUUAH
YOU KEEP ME WARM AT NIGGGGGHHHHTTTUH.
captain america, May 17th, 2011 at 12:37:07am
1. You guys never take anything seriously.
Sounds a bit like 'you guys aren't LISTENING to me'. I take stuff seriously. If you're looking for mega-srs advice, go to an agony aunt/a doctor/a trusted adult. We are a band website, any advice you get = a bonus.
2. "You're 13."
13 = lots less mature than the average age here.
Same as 10 = less mature than 13.
Shock horror.
3. Trolling.
You've been trolled,
You've been trolled,
You have probably been told...
4. Commenting
I do. Shh.
5. Moderators.
Don't ask, don't get.
And tbf we'd be ttly awesome mods.
6. Debating.
TL;DR
7. Relationships.
LOL you just so contradicted point 1 it's untrue.
8. Self-esteem.
Still contradicting point 1. Sigh, it's like you didn't even read your own blog.
9. Liveliness.
...
Wat.
10. Green Day.
Who?
You feel b*tchy today?
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
TO BE DELETED, May 16th, 2011 at 06:33:46pm
1. I agree, people on here are f*cking arseholes, I posted on here before a suicide attempt, gave my reasons and questioned if I should do it (not in an attention grabby way) and got (0). People on here seriously need to work on empathy and becoming good human beings that help those in pain.
2. "You're 13." I'll admit I do it all time time, perhaps the cookie thing has gone to far...but I have no part in that, frankly I think of her as our slightly retarded mascot. I'll call people 13 as long as they act it.
3. I assume this is about cookie.
4. Commenting
5. I think I'm in love with you, I know I say this a LOT guys, but its so true. I really am about ready to leave this place because I've been here for years and its like everyone here is best friends and nobody knows me. Thats no one elses fault but the sudden surge in friendliness of late has highlighted it and while I wont condem it because its great that everyones friends, it is very much a secular group.
5. Agreed.
6. On debating...well I'll admit that twice lately I have done something similar, once in the blah where the girl didnt read my argument so I gave her advice on how to debate and once when I commented on one of the stephs blahs asking if it was for her thing or if it was a genuine exprerience she'd gone through, I was going to comment after that but decided against it because I had nothing to say about it, in fact truth be told it irritated me a little bit...but for the most part I comment on nearly every blog with my opinion, it probably annoys people that read blogs, idgaf.
7. Can I just say that relationships are the new hunting? we don't have any other purpose in life anymore. We mate. thats it. I need to be in at least one relationship to like myself as a person and theres nothing wrong with that. If I date a douche and want to whine about it on the internet, I'm going to. It's my choice, its anyone else who decides to do so's choice.
8. Self-esteem? WE ARE TEENAGE GIRLS, OFC WE HATE OUR BODIES.
9. Agreed.
10. Green Day were a big part of my life but this place took me away from them because it gave me my first experience of friendship and internet addiction. Good trade off imo.
This website is amazing, I really love it. I love the people that come here, I've met some of my best friends. My life would have been completely different without this site. I don't know what the hell I'd do without it. I'd have to post somewhere else, where there was no shauna or steph or el or idk any of you people...and that sounds scary and unfun. I know so much about so many of you it's like we're all friends, as pathetic as that sounds. I do use other websites, I use other forums similar almost as much but I can never be myself the way I can here. It's my outlet.
Yay!, May 16th, 2011 at 05:58:15pm
calm your fez!
The Doctor., May 16th, 2011 at 05:27:28pm
I love you, this is exactly how I feel.
TheReflectingGod, May 16th, 2011 at 05:27:24pm
oh boy. serious reply commencing.
1. You guys never take anything seriously.
not true. at all. it would've been more correct had you said "you guys never take the majority of serious issues seriously." the fact is that we pick and choose. or at least i do.
2. "You're 13."
i'm guilty of this. mainly because most of the time, you may want to sit down for this, but it's true. i was a complete idiot when i was 13 and i thought i had the world figured out. there is a big difference between 13 and 18.
3. Trolling.
...
4. Commenting
ah well. i like commenting everyone's blahs, so i make an effort to do so.
5. Moderators.
who needs mods? not us!
6. Debating.
i love debating. i love debating on things i care about. if i don't care about something, i'm not going to read an argument about it.
7. Relationships.
" Be a little more sensitive to some topics and actually try keeping an open mind for once. just sayin.
8. Self-esteem.
i'd just like to take this moment and say a general majority of gsb is hot. so, you guys, if you need a date, i don't charge too much.
9. Liveliness.
it seems to be lively to me lately.
10. Green Day.
i can't actually think of a reply for this one.
twentynine., May 16th, 2011 at 05:15:38pm
last summer gsb was dead, it's pretty alive for the amount of regulars on here.
I think you should lighten up, this site is pretty awesome.
nadroj, May 16th, 2011 at 05:01:35pm
See. . . not sure what parts of this would apply to me, because for the most part I've just started lurking and most people don't really mind me that much. But I do appreciate when people post legit blogs, especially about gsb since it's something I'm fond of. Gonna comment on all of your points, and apologies in advance if I'm not exactly clear. I do that. :P
As for not taking things seriously, I treat people on here just like I would treat my live-action friends. I like to think that I usually offer fairly sound advice, at least as far as I'm capable. A lot of times that's what you need to hear.
See. When I tell someone "you're thirteen" I'm trying to give them the gift of my life experience. When I was thirteen everything was the worst thing ever and life altering and just such a big deal- but then I just waited it out a bit and lo and behold, it's almost six years later and those things really haven't been as monumental or catastrophic as I had feared. It's not to say that the problem doesn't count so much as to provide the reassurance that someday it will count a lot less.
The trolling. . . at times I do agree it would be nice to have consistently sincere interactions, but the trolling makes me giggle and so I'm not really going to complain.
I agree with you on the commenting- I try to comment on pretty much everything. I've fallen out of it a lot lately because it's hard to get people to respond even on their own posts, although I think its more of a time zone issue than anyone being deliberate. And I don't do it to seem nice, I do it because I think that life in general would suck a lot less if people went out of their way to actually do things that could make things better. Hoping it'll catch on eventually.
I don't see the harm in making it known that we still exist and need help. Not that we should be stupid about it, but really? And I can think of at least a handful of people who haven't one anything that would make them undeserving of modship. Just saying.
The debating I don't really know about. I understand your frustration, though.
The relationship comment seems. . .I don't know how accurate it is. I would agree that the ratio is skewed to the unhappy more than the happy, but I don't know about the most people part. You could very well be right, and the demographic may have shifted a bit. But I don't see why people should not talk about their relationships, regardless of whether or not they are making the best decisions. Dumping the effer can be a lot easier said than done. Little empathy could help.
Love this next one though. Please shut up and stop posting your self esteem issues because it is an inconvenience to others and you aren't important enough to deserve a small section of cyberspace to talk about yourself. Tf. You don't have to read it. I mean, it's kind of a messy issue, but really. That just seems a little rude. Again, working through those sort of issues isn't exactly easy.
Liveliness is totally agreed upon. I think it's sort of hand-in-hand with the commenting issue.
I have no issue with Green Day. I'm not that fond of them anymore, but I don't hate them. However I don't think it has anything to do with the band's activity level. The general consensus just doesn't favor them that much. I don't think there's any reason to rag on them.
banquo, May 16th, 2011 at 03:31:50pm
Cant tell if trolling...
