I used to like a certain forum better...

[Mrs. Edge]

Hi guys,

This thread kind of saddens me, because I was wondering what had happened to some of my favourite plebians, (the place is full of people I've never even heard of now) and now it seems that THIS is where half of you are hanging out! If you want to make Pleba better, you have to get back in there! Two wrongs don't make it right...

The great thing about Pleba was that you weren't ignored the way you were in EYKIW, but sometimes I get ignored in there too, by people I would think would want to talk to me. Anyway, overall, I still love the place.

I guess I am partly to blame for the loss of Pleba innocence though, especially with my last story.

 

[scatteroflight]

I can't believe how many posts this is getting--it must be my most popular thread ever

I didn't want to get anyone mad at each other, I just feel like PLEBA is a place I'm not entirely comfortable with any more and I just felt like saying something about it, and this seemed like the place. It's pretty hard to turn back the clock, though. And I'm not blaming anyone for anything in particular.

Let's not all go away mad at each other, though

Should I have posted this actually in PLEBA? I don't know. I thought that would seem too much like a full-on attack and it would likely cause a lot of hard feelings.

Hehe I think scatteroflight, the reason this is getting a lot of replies, is that most of us feel like you. =/ And your not getting anyone mad at each other here. I personally like all the people that have posted here so far

.

And Mrs. Edge, it hard to go back and just post care free... well, for me it is! I feel like I have to restrain myself from posting topics there. That's why I don't! Some people judge my every move there, that's how I feel there sometimes! But I still try to post there

And I personally love your stories and don't think you should feel bad about that.

Come home!

You ROCK, girl!!!! Yes, the RSOC club and IAAD are where it's at in PLEBA.

I need to get my Rhythm Section loving butt back there, y'think?

*Gets her Adam pics ready*

I am with Jess, I feel kind of bad about not going there since a lot of girls who "started" with me or who made me feel welcome are still there, and I just feel like I can't post there anymore. But, time will tell how things end up there. We'll just wait and see.

cat dahling, I openly admit I salivate over Bono. Ive being doing it since I came to this place.
I just don't get what is so exciting about a bulge in Bonos shorts.
Hes a man, he has a penis.

I think BC says it best, its just a stinkin forum hehe

Yay girlie gals! It's unbelievable how we can solve problems w/o a fight! We could give lessons to a few, huh?

April and Mon! You've become honourary members, our pleasure to have you there, gals!

Manda! You said PENIS!!

LMAO HE does have one, indeed! But 500 posts about ONE penis, yeah, maybe that's too much!

[Mrs. Edge]

One thing that does kind of bother me about Pleba (now that I've had time to think about it) is that there are SO MANY people in there now, it's really hard to keep track of everyone, or to develop the same kinds of relationships we had before. There are advantages to having more people of course (ie, the more the merrier) but then again, I feel kind of lost in there, and it's hard to keep up with all these ZILLIONS of posts or to make much of an impression in there.

Mind you, I have been depressed in general for the past couple of weeks, so this may contribute to my general feeling of alienation.

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

PLEBA went from (for me) a message board about cute band members to a message board for the sexually fustrated. I'll be first to admit that I love Bono--he's my favouite. Then I'll tell you that the Bono is Elevated thread got WAY out of hand...I know it's all in good fun, but really. After a while, you have to wonder when the joke will end.

BTW, I'm 19. SO I'm a teenager. occasionally post in PLEBA...but I'm NOT one of those sex-crazed "Larry is Elevated, I-wanna-sleep-Edge, etc" kind of girl. PLEBA doesn't seem to be as friendly anymore...people seem more obsessed with their nightly dreams and fantasies rather than the boys themselves. As for having a chance with the guys, I think every PLEBA lady knows it won't happen...it really is just a joke. But I miss the banter and laughter of the 'old' (no reference to age here) PLEBA gals. When you guys were around, kinda like mods, you kept the place a little calmer...a little nicer (you know what sort of picture makes the other one happy. You gals cheer each other up, know each other's schedules, etc.)

I dunno. Personally, my fav forum is DOL.

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

I almost forgot...I guess I just feel that sometimes PLEBA degrades the music. I mean, ultimately, U2 is about the music, the soul, the feeling...not the looks of the band or the size of their sticks. I think sometimes the PLEBA gals forget that.

And I know it's hard not to. We're in an estrogen-fueled environment...but maybe if we kept it clightly cleaner we'd have some more testosterone opinions now and then

Guess I ought to post this in IT'S OFFICIAL, but...I just don't feel as welcome there as I used to. It's been taken over by a group of people (who I won't even bother to mention), and if anyone else tries to post in there it gets ignored

ok, I do know I am one of these non-bother people you are suggesting.......I don't personally ignore anyone..it would be both fickle and immature to brandish such a level of self-importance...I read a lot more than I do with taking the time to reply, you should really take that into account when judging how people recieve or characterise you personally

ACROB@T,

It's Official was not the forum I was discussing. The forum in question on this specific thread is PLEBA, and I was only making a "sarcastic" reference in regards to my statement. i.e, "It's Official...I don't feel welcome in PLEBA anymore."

There, I just had my moment of clarity.

I dunno, a lot of you guys bring up good points. I'll admit that I really don't have as much fun in PLEBA as I used to, and I can't really figure out why. I feel kind of immature when I hear people say that PLEBA is just a bunch of hormonally charged girls, but y'know, I didn't get into U2 for their looks. And I'm sure that a bunch of other the gals in there agree- "it's about music," heh. Anyway, it just used to be a fun place. And Mrs. Edge, don't say that you're stories caused the loss of any innocence ok? You love to write, and you use PLEBA to do that and expand upon your talents. You can't help it if someone wants a specific kind of story. Just don't think that girl! Well I really don't know what I'm trying to say. I'll just agree that things have kind of gotten a little dirty. Blah. Hopefully I haven't been contributing to PLEBA's downfall though!

 

[Mrs. Edge]

Oh Molly, you have NOTHING to worry about! We love you. And by the way, your story is the one after next.

I have always loved U2 for their music first and foremost, but the looks certainly haven't hurt matters! I don't think there's anything wrong with lusting after them-one can't help but admire beauty and sex appeal. IMO, it's bad when it gets ridiculously silly, vulgar or undignified. Even in my most pornographic stories I try to be as tasteful as circumstances will allow. They're descriptive maybe, but not vulgar. (I hope!)

Anyway, the great thing about Pleba is it's full of great people for the most part, and it's nothing if not entertaining during a boring day at work!!!

[HelloAngel]

I agree with all of you.

I try to post very often, in the attempt of forging friendships with some of you (I'm very wary of Internet relationships).

Since September, Pleba almost feels like a sea of subjectification (word?!) and although I don't feel the "unwelcome" feeling because it's the Internet (and I only take it seriously to a point), I often question my reason for posting at all. At 24, I don't have the patience to get in a flame war with someone a decade younger than me, and it's hard to sift through the younger hormonal set to find the a tad older, "we could be Sisters" set.

*sigh* So this is one of my "what's the point" days and this thread speaks to me. I think all of you (in this thread specifically) seem like lovely people, and I know I probably won't get to know most of you because there are umpteen newbies that will join in the time it takes for me to post this, and so thus, I will once again get lost in the ocean of ostracizement.

So, as I attempt to show my true colours and character thru many posts - to where I can bond with some of you, I hope our paths cross again on an intimate thread such as this!

[Mrs. Edge]

Don't get discouraged! As in real life, you have to sift through a lot of sand to get to the nuggets. We know you better already, and I think you'll find as I have, that the lasting friendships you make on here are more than worth any aggrivation.

Not really. I think that's too much generalizing.I fell in love with the music first, and as for their looks I can't help it if I find the 4 of them good looking. I go to PLEBA because it's one of the only places where I can talk to girls who have a strong love for the band, and I think that for every girl it's the music that attracted them first. PLEBA is a place to post pics and share our love of the band with others.Specifically that is the forum's use. So what's wrong if we lust after them and sometimes share our fantasies? That makes us sex crazed? It's normal to share our attraction. I also think degrade is a strong word to use. Their looks is not the only thing that we love about the band.

Mrs Edge you and your stories rock. End of story.

Aw, Jess- you are so sweet! Yay! And my story is coming up! I agree w/ Naya, you're stories do indeed rock.

 

[ACROB@T]

my sincerest apologies April, its just recently I had a discussion with someone in chat who was seriously having a go about the cliqueness of Its Official and naming names (someone with too much time on their hands)...guess I read to much into your post without thinking...sorry

I was a wee bit suprised that you would be talking about Its Official cause your hardly ignored there

Gee ladies..

See how civil women are? Had it been a thread with men posting...we would have heard the words wanker, fuck you, like 200 times by now..

Just kidding any men that might come to see this thread..But let's face it, women are a bit more civil..

BTW, Jess your stories are the highlight of my day. You love to write...you're making people's fantasies come true for them. There's nothing disrespectful about that.
