It's not a UO. It really bothered me that the last time people came around was when SPurp outed KayVeeKay, and what bothered me most was that the only purpose of that thread (since it was clearly established no one felt she was a threat) was to embarrass and harass her. Maybe there are "only 4 of us" but every notch on here lately is supportive, caring, and above starting shit just to make someone else feel bad.

ETA: I'm sure I'll need a flame suit if anyone actually comes around to read this.
I think the lads that left us are dicks for abandoning ship and they should come back and play.
We're not dicks. Most of us left because of stranger danger, but some people don't even know the shit that went down (and CONTINUES to go down on other boards--check the sticky at the top). A bunch of us did try, but it fizzled, and we couldn't save it. I'm actually sad about it, but don't tell anyone, because I'm liking that the newbs think I'm rude, uncaring, and only like to start trouble. Like. I'm not NICE by anyone's standards, but the aforementioned list is pretty far off for most of us.
I left because I just couldn't keep up. That's the truth. Then other shit went down, so I can pretend that's why, but I was busy buying teacups and pajamas for my kid online. Plus, I actually have to do work now, and that blows.

HOw is the stranger danger here any different than on TB or joining a Facebook group with 100+ people you "know" from the internet?

I totally get this and really don't think you're dicks. I just miss the traffic and hearing about your thoughts and babes.
I don't think there are any really new newbs here. I've been 'here' for about 7 months or so and remember the amazing days of Purp and winning the Internet.

Wow. I had not seen that announcement. If mrsbabe614 leaves me I don't know what I'll do.

I actually thought most the ladies on here were nice, and still think that, but the darkstar thing really rubbed me the wrong way and then most of the regs involved never came back after that which underscored the nastiness of it, rather than providing an opportunity to redeem themselves. I'm on here every day and "regs" were being assholes to me because I was just so oblivious.

The regs who were involved need to redeem themselves? To who? You? Or darkstar?

To me, not that it matters because they don't come around anymore, so I don't have to deal with it. I actually thought @wwf was the only person with any right to say anything, since you actually are still on the board.

Actually, I think it had more to do with you not knowing what you were talking about and acting like you did.

I'm a dick. I'm cool with it. I don't feel like I have to justify it in any way. It's the interweb. I go where I want when I want. No offence, but the conversation moved elsewhere, in large part because of the creepiness that went down, but also because there are just more people over there.
The night owl shit was NOT people ganging up and being nasty. She was crazy, pretended to be a second person so she could argue with herself, got IP banned, then dodged it and came back as someone new. People, myself included, got a weird vibe, we figured it out, let it be for a while and then got annoyed and called her out for misrepresenting herself.
Meanwhile, she's not only tried to facebook friend Purp once, but 3 times. She's also tried to Facebook friend other O14ers, and she somehow found WWF on Instagram and no one knows how. So, yeah, people are feeling uncomfortable with PB, and also bored with PB.
Now that you have the facts, I'd also like you to know that I sure as shit do not have to validate myself to anyone, and most definitely not you. The mere fact that you think that way and act like you own the Internet is fucking entitled and completely annoying.

Well here's my perspective, though I don't like when someone demands I enlighten them. We all came here from TD in January and we did what we could with it then we all went back to work and keeping up at two places was hard. Then NO pulled her weird shit and it freaked everyone out, and a lot of people chose the relative security of a secret FB group full of people we'd known almost a year versus a public forum where anyone could, and did, join as they pleased. A couple of you left here were active on TD and could have joined the FB group any time before we decided to close it. Keeping up at two places isn't easy, especially with an app that sucks like this one. It is decidedly not easier to follow randoms on FB but that's just how things shook out.
As for the NO thing, no one owes anyone anything. It's been festering for a long time, and spurp13 did my dirty work for me by calling her out. We all have a right to be here, infrequently or not, because we all collectively built O14.
