Do you solely read and post in threads that just interest you, or do you religiously read every single thread and feel the need to comment in them all?
I just don't have the time to do the second option, nor the inclination actually!
Is it important to be popular or do you not care?
For me, I don't really mind much, just as in real life there are people I choose not to mix with and those that I do choose to mix with, I don't expect everyone here to like me or my posts.
Are the people here real people or just beings behind a screen for you?
For me that's easy, having met quite a few in person they are real people, all lovely and more or less they are what they present online. I'm still aware though that some people pretend to be something they are not, I wonder what the driving force is behind that :-3

I just read the threads that interest me... some i like to read even though i dont comment.
I think of people as real ,, i have met people who i have talked to online,, not from FG ,,, well ye actually Shaz but met her before we came here. But talk to others on phone etc..
I also wonder about some of the "Walter Mitty's":wah:or people who maybe have a totally different personality for online world ,,, maybe they dont see it as real ,, and just a game . I think they dont want to connect with people though, how could they?

When I first found FG, as many know, I came to defend myself.
I decided to stay on because of the genuine friends and kindness I found here.
TBH... members fall Into boxes with me.
There are the one's I trust... they know who they are.
Over my time here, most of FG Is on facebook with me. My life Is an open book and any member Is welcome to call at my home If they do not believe what I post.
Having said that.... I value the friendship and real genuine friendships I have made here but I try to keep a balance between real life and the net.
I have talked to many members on the phone, even Fuzzy phoned me from Aus....
The danger Is when some-one becomes so Insular, that a forum and the people on It are the only thing In their lives. They latch on to people as If It Is real life friendship and they get angry or hurt If a message Is not returned Immediately or 'their friend' seems to be talking to another member. When some-one on a forum has absolutely nothing to discuss behind the forum than other members, it Is time to let go.
What I do like about members here is that you can get very heated In a political debate yet we still respect each other and even have a tad of affection for them.
I do read every thread ( If I have time ) simply because I like to see what Interests other members.
I do not post on as many threads as I used to for lack of time but now I will be laid up for 3 weeks when I get out of hospital.... I am going to be here a little more.

I read and post only in the threads that interest me.
I have no need to read all threads.
I do post in the middle sometimes, if the subject is what I like.
I find it both ways, some people are genuine and I have met so many wonderful people right here and also on fb from fg......we chat it up there even more.
some are pretend, those are `attention getters` who post about themelves all the time, these are insecure people.
some are dishonest ...still not sure why.
Your so lucky Betty to have met some friends from here.
Shel and myself are planning something in the future as we have to meet, we are so much like each other in every way and she is my best friend, who talks to me on fb a dozen times a day and we call each other every week.
She doesn`t come here much anymore as she cannot handle all the drama, so for her, fb is much better

I wouldn’t have time to read every thread, so I scan for interesting topics. I should try to start more news ones myself, I use to but I am not on as much anymore.
Popularity does not matter to me, but I have been around for a while and it is nice to be in contact with the people that have been here for a while. I would like to think that I would be missed if away, but maybe that is the allure and illusion of forum.
People are real, we only really know people here on how they are on line, I assume if they are nice here that there are nice in the real world as well. There is a screen however as real names are not used and so forth.

I have to agree with you.
I have upset a few posters over the 2 years speaking my mind and If I worried about being popular, I would never speak my mind. Being your-self on a forum Is what Is Important I feel not being popular.
I remember back when I joined the BNP and was worried about the reaction here If I let It slip.... but then I thought 'what the hell?... I am me... take It or leave It'.
There are forums where you get friend trolls... People who jump on a newbie the moment they have registered sending pm's and friend requests. They agree with every post they write when what they are really saying Is 'Please like me'...
I joined a new forum recently and within 2 days I had 10 friend requests.... I can not be dealing with that. They are clingy needy people who have nothing In their lives and some turn out to be right trolls and cyber bullies behind the scenes.

I normally scroll through New Posts to see what's 'occurring' and who's around. I don't always post in the topics but always enjoy reading them.

Yep, I'm off on Friday for a couple of weeks, away from the dross and into the peace and quiet of the countryside. It would be tempting to do a 'Scott of the Antarctic', but there is still a lot to do before we can shake off the city totally. grrrrrrrrrrr
But I will miss you all on FG, so behave yourselves while I'm away. I will even miss my absent friends ! And they know who they are ! :yh_wink :-6

Ahhh Thanks Kathy, bless you! Yes I will try to take a few pics and put them on FG. I'm also going to try to get a landline installed (there's a very convenient telegraph pole right next to our static caravan, so it shouldn't be rocket science!) but it depends on the installation cost and the monthly charge, seeing as we are already British Telecom customers! :-3 :sneaky: :wah:

For me, I don't really mind much, just as in real life there are people I choose not to mix with and those that I do choose to mix with, I don't expect everyone here to like me or my posts.
Are the people here real people or just beings behind a screen for you?
For me that's easy, having met quite a few in person they are real people, all lovely and more or less they are what they present online. I'm still aware though that some people pretend to be something they are not, I wonder what the driving force is behind that :-3
I hit new posts and read only the ones that interest me.
I couldn't care less if I am popular or not.
People are just people behind a screen to me. That said, I still realize they ARE people and DO have feelings and try really hard not to upset anyone.
I read more than I post. I try to make it a point to check in at least once a day.
I just don't have the time to do the second option, nor the inclination actually!

I read more folks than I don't read. But it seems the ones I try and look for get buried under the deluge from the ones I'm always scrolling past. It's better now that some of the folks I used to read are back, but I find that if I get out of the routine of posting, it's hard to get back into it. It's a lot easier to just read and not post.
But I am an avid fan of some.:-6

Are the people here real people or just beings behind a screen for you? Eww. Real people. Ick!
Of course they're real people. Most of them are potentially likeable if you wash them down and allow for their manifold tribulations. Not all, but most.

Just those I think might interest me.
Is it important to be popular or do you not care?
I prefer to be liked. But I won't say things I don't believe or change my views for something as ephemeral as popularity.

One could almost believe they are human at times!;)

I come every so often to just post in the hotel section now. It's a section where I feel "safe" that no matter what I say is not being analyzed or offending to others.
I have made many friends over the years here but I have also lost so many. Some have simply left while others started fighting amoungst each other and I was caught in the middle. I came to realize that true friends stick by you no matter what. They are there for me in the good times and bad times. I see some of my friends being torn apart by stating their opinions in some of the threads and that hurts me to see that happening. I refuse to let that happen to me so I just stick where I feel comfortable now here.
I'm not here as a member to be popular but I am here to have fun and have found it harder and harder to do so. Seems like if members don't like your friends then you are judged by or "guilty by association." People are real and feelings get hurt but I feel it gets carried away. I have enough drama in my RL that I don't need it online as well.

I have to say I've never quite got forum gang mentality. I've been recruited many times over the years only to be dropped like a hot potato when I won't take sides. I don't take sides in real life either, many of my friends just don't mix and I keep them seperate. Those that take offence that I'm not their friend exclusively tend to fall by the wayside, their decision not mine.

I have been 'guilty by association' and still am in a couple of cases. But that is not my problem. I will not be blackmailed or bullied just because my association with a particular person doesn't suit somebody else !!!! I just wish people would stop this school yard attitude, and just be friendly towards others. It doesn't cost a lot you know. It's easier to smile than to frown.

I realize in the scheme of things, what I say in my posts is just not that important. But, I do enjoy sharing my thoughts, and discoveries with you. If I can make you smile, or show you something you have never seen before, or remind you with my words that you are not alone.....I am satisfied. It does give me a certain amount of satisfaction to make a connection with you. I would enjoy reading everyone's thread, but there is just not enough time in the day. So, because of the time constraint, I do have to be selective.

Hi, my name's Jon. I am a New Post Junkie.
I usually just surf around topics that look interesting to me, I like a good debate and the word game threads are nothing but boring fluff to me. I used to care about my post count, but I don't even look at that any more. Mostly, it's just something fun for me to do when I have a spare minute away from work.
As for the people, they are real...that's for sure. I've seen some of the best of human behavior on online and some of the most vile worst.

most members on any regular forum have fueds from time to time, its happened on this one a million times over.....as said so many times...everyone doesn`t love everyone....its just impossible.
then some apologize, and get no response, real friends don`t do that.
Friends are suppose to by loyal and respectful of each other and understand when one is upset & why they are upset.
It`s not a screen one is lookng at, its a real person with feelings.

2 years ago I had never heard of forums and I certainly had never heard of cyber bullies.
I think we do have to remember that for many, we are Indeed a screen. Yes, some-times you meet genuine buddies that you come to know well over the years and even meet up and phone each other. Those friendships can go from strength to strength but caution must be applied with folks on line Initially. I am now extremely cautious of some-one who pm's me and sends a friend request the moment I have registered with a forum.
I did not know about cyber bullies and when I saw the expression used here once, I wrongly believed It applied to a strong person with strong opinions. I now know that is not the case. If a member Is opinionated and speaks their mind on a forum, that Is not cyber bullying as all other members have an option to either Ignore their posts or join In debate with them.
By not applying caution Initially, we can be too hasty In giving out E Mail addresses and phone numbers. When you find out that your new buddy Is In-fact a cyber bully, It Is way too late. I have certainly learnt my lesson In the past and those I do now trust with my private details, have them because I trust them. I have found on forums In the last 2 years that a member may be sweetness and light on the open board but behind the scenes they make your life a living hell with a bombardment of messages and E mails.
There are some extremely needy people on forums behind those screens who demand attention even when you are having much going on In your life, they still demand you answer their E Mails and messages Immediately. I do think at times with people like this, they should not be on a forum at all but a dating service where they can form the close relationships they are looking for. Any forum is primarily for debate and sharing news. Some people use a forum not to debate and exchange views with other posters, but to look for life-time friendship. Yes, those friendships do form on forums but In the main, most people join a forum for debate.
Then you get the 'gang' mentality and they want to dictate to members who they can have a friendship with. Eventually, the behind the scenes back-stabbing deters members from posting.
When I first joined FG, I came on to defend myself but I stuck around because I enjoyed discussing topics of all types with a variety of people from different countries. The close friendships I formed since, I value but I still come here to debate and have a laugh.
If some-one Is having to constantly apologise to members on a forum, then they really need to look to them-selves Instead of blaming every-one else and getting white and spiteful. I have had to apologise to members In the past but that was due to an Insensitive post.
What also needs to be recognised Is that many members are on other forums so you do not have exclusive rights to a member just because you post on the same forum as them.
Some people take forums way too seriously and latch on to members driving them mad messaging and following their every post. Their post count Is more Important that what they actually post and I have seen many posters on forums who have not actually got any-thing to say but simply quote popular members to agree with them.
In my 2 years here, I found found that If YOU think you are popular... then you probably are not. I do not care If I am popular. Yes, It is nice to be popular but as my Father used to say... 'So they don't like you?.... So what ?.... Other people do'.
When we are comfortable In our lives and satisfied with life we do not have to compete.

I just cannot fantom how some can switch it on and switch it off in a heartbeat.
I think a lot is jealousy and immaturity, some can not handle if you have more than one friend and that`s sad as some of us have several friends here.
It`s a place where anyone can chose who their friends are.
It`s not a competition nor popularity contest.
I`ve discovered some are shallow and that`s through lack of my knowing better by giving out my personal business, just to have it trashed.
I love emails from friends here, and pms, you can always block someone if they are starting to become annoying.
and the ignore feature is just amazing, as you never have to hear that person again.
I`ve met many wonderful, trusting and caring people here including yourself.
sure I`ve had spats with some here and there, but who hasn`t....and life does go on.
all in all......it is a great place to have some fun, debate and just enjoy ourselves.:guitarist

Do you solely read and post in threads that just interest you, or do you religiously read every single thread and feel the need to comment in them all?
first of all, i like to read new posts but usually i look for threads that are easy to understand for me .. as you all know i'm not native English and you can notice from the way i write :sneaky:..
also, i look for things that make me interested and curious about..
Is it important to be popular or do you not care?
i'm not sure i post and reply to be popular because i registered in this forum for two reasons which are improving my English and knowing how other cultures think, post threads and how they discuss things..
Are the people here real people or just beings behind a screen for you?
i believe people here are real and visible as well.. and i'm real too :-4
to be honest with you, i'm acting my real personality when i deal in this forum and other forums as well. however, i'm trying my best not to hurt any body feelings or ideas even when we discuss hot topics..
finally, i just don't know what makes me love this forum and people here..

Do I look like I care?
Are the people here real people or just beings behind a screen for you?
I've never met any of 'em so they all could be just one or two very busy writers for all I know.

Do you solely read and post in threads that just interest you, or do you religiously read every single thread and feel the need to comment in them all?
I pick and chose, time is often a factor.

Oh, I think I just wanted to be liked for who I am.

They are real, have talked to some, felt bad I couldn't talk to one last week. Wished I could have seen the elephant with them. And lived through an adventure with some of them once,a few years back.
I do not think I would have done as well the last six years, without the kind support of everyone here, who are real people. Helped me through fires in the kitchen, how to fix things for the first time, and they gently helped me through the beginning of my husband's illness, which is a continuing thing.
Cheer me on, in two weeks we will go out together as a family for my birthday-the last time was six years ago, right before he became ill. And I knew something was wrong that night, it was a horrible evening. This time will be better.
