<_<; I totally don't feel welcome here. It almost seems like everyone's secretly glad that they consider it's dead, or in denial, or something. I'm totally out of the loop, and having joined so recently, yeah. I don't think I'll be coming back much after this post...

It's creepy how everyone in this guild talks more about the guild than anything else. About how it's dead, about how they don't like some other member here, about being defensive about the guild, etc. Honestly, I'd be the first to agree if you said when the admin created this guild system that the guilds were more about themselves than their 'topic' and were essentially redundantly self-contained, but honestly... It seems like no one here can move on or something. That's just what's coming across.

I think that's why 95 % of the members don't post. Because of all this "insider" talk... I'm all for people being real and doing whatever they feel like doing so I won't complain. I'm just saying, new members might not be interested in who likes whom and who out of the people on the front page picture has the biggest p***s and who's been holding grudges with whom for over a year...

Spam is anything that doesn't inspire or contribute to a conversation. Though if you're creative, you can turn almost anything into a conversation.

Please enlighten me as to this "insider talk." I'd also like to know about any p***s contests, as I should probably get rid of them before we're reported.

It's just a guess on my part. The guild has a history and since this history is constantly being referred to, newbies might feel excluded. The whole notion of "it's only fun when Setzer is around and talking about boobies and orgies like in the good old days" only adds to that. I don't want to sound too harsh, because I enjoy all the gossip, and it's sorta a reading between the lines thing. It happens in every guild. I was just stating that I can very much relate to anyone who feels out of the loop.

The only person who has said that is Kahz.

As far as feeling out of the loop, you are ALWAYS going to feel out of the loop if you never make an attempt at getting IN the loop. Instead of sitting back thinking "I don't understand," make an effort to talk to people. It's pretty sad that I have to be the one to say that given my complete lack of social skills.

I totally agree, people just need more self-confidence. I was only trying to somehow explain the phenomenon that this guild hardly grows. I welcome and congratulate every new member who does start posting and integrating themselves. I've been here long enough to see that it works if they only want to. mrgreen

It's the one nickname I've never really liked simply because I think it to be unoriginal and uncreative.

"Your name is Pam? Hahaha look, it's SPAM! Durr durr durr!"
Good one buddy, hope you didn't strain anything thinking that classic up. rolleyes

I must admit, I did enjoy when Matthew would proceed to sing the Spam song from Monty Python along with a little skit. At least he knew how to make it a bit more interesting. domokun

Also, it makes a yummy musubi. 3nodding

But she's got a point.

This is much the same as the point I was trying to make in the mod forum, but maybe I just failed at it. We need more conversation type topics, general ones. Still love the silly stuff, and the personal threads are what make us a community, but we needed more general ones as well.

We've actually gotten a few this past week though, which is good 3nodding

Yeah, we invited a lot you recommended, but they never posted sweatdrop

I need someone to talk to about that stuff! A fellow M's fan, a sox fan, even a Yankee fan!

Delicious and oh so easy to make. I used to make them for nephew anytime they would have a potluck for work. You can buy them from just about any store (this is Hawaii after all xd ) but they somehow taste better when you make them yourself. 3nodding
