Poll: If you DO NOT chat, post here

[*Stormy*]

Okay, I'm sorry, maybe I have overestimated the chat thing. It just seemed like the chat threads go up into the hundreds of posts so I assumed it was several dozen people at the very least. Yes, I am feeling left out but it's no one's fault. Like I said in my other thread I just don't have anything in common with anyone here. But I will still come around for U2 news, and I like posting my pics, and I'm glad some of you like them!

Stormy, we all have things in common here. We all love U2, and think that Bono, Larry, Edge, and Adam are four of the sexiest men in the world. We are (for the most part) all women.

Why don't you tell us all a bit about you, and then we can see what we have in common. I know that you have always gone out of your way to make me, and other people feel good. It's our turn to reciprocate....

Thanks Spinny (((HUGS))))

I can tell from everyone's posts over time that I don't have anything in common with anyone here besides liking some of the pictures. Every once in awhile I see someone who seems to hit on the same cylinders as me, but it's rare, and many of the ones I used to relate to have either disappeared or changed. But there will always be the pics. Well most of them anyway. LEATHER is tommorrow, I'll be back.

Very well put Spinny. I don't go to Chat either (only cuz I don't have a computer at home, so I only post at work). But Stormy, check it out...we are on a U2 messageboard. We all love U2. That is the very first thing we ALL have in common, Chat-ers or Non-Chat-ers.

I dont chat in PLEBA chat but I dont really feel like an outsider. I mean, the girls here are all so nice and welcoming. I dont think you have to have 'chat' in common to get along with the people here and enjoy yourselves. To be honest this thread seems a little 'cliquish' to me. Just because you dont chat doesnt mean you dont have your love for U2 in common with everyone here!

Relax Stormy.

 

[oktobergirl]

I agree with Sicy.

It's all about U2. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 2 cents

I love the chat, I wish more people would join in. I don't think it's become a "clique," however, I do reply a bit more to a fellow chatters post, just simply because they are more familiar to me. I know them better, but I'm not gonna ignore someone because they don't chat.


I know that not everyone is into doing chat, which is fine.... most nights when I go in I'm "multitasking" and am more of a lurker.

As for the "inside jokes" it's seen everywhere on this board. I am somewhat new to the board (look at the date, not the post count

), so in alot of the other forums, I don't really get alot of it *coughit'sofficialcough* But I don't feel left out, it's just that alot of interlanders have known each other for years, and I just kinda stepped in here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. My post count may not be high, but I've been here awhile and have seen people and "cliques" come and go at PLEBA. Don't forget, this is just the internet and nothing to get your panties in a wad about. If you want to chat, do it. If you don't want to chat, cool. Just enjoy the PLEBA experience for what it's worth and direct your energy toward the really important things in life.

Well said, Heartland Girl. I've only chatted twice for a little bit because I don't have much time, but everyone there seemed very friendly and welcoming and not clique-ish. I'm still able to keep track of everything by checking PLEBA and the other boards regularly, so I don't really feel left out of anything.

No, it isn't... but is PLEBA G-rated?

Another argument for not going in chat is that you *really* don't always know who you are chatting with. I've had nightmarish scenarios unfold (not here of course) from other chat communities. People are not always who they seem or who they say they are. And although I really do enjoy PLEBA and the rest of the Interlanders, I cut my losses and don't chat at all.

Good point. You don't really know. My brother was researching our genealogy online when he met a distant cousin who wanted him to travel to another state and meet her, alone, at a deserted graveyard 9 miles from town. I told him to meet her in a resturant in town and follow, or take someone with him, but he said she insisted on this secret meeting. My Mom and I told him, how do you know it's not a killer or a robber? Sure sounds funny. He said, hey she's a relative, she's a 26 year old girl and she's a kindergarten teacher, she's harmless! I said how do you know, she might by lying, she might not even be a 'she.' Don't go. He said I was crazy but I notice he never went

The 'cousin' broke off correspondence after he didn't go, so it was kind of fishy. There really are crooks and killers and molesters out there. It's not just on TV, it's on the news. Everyone should be very careful.

....oh, and I don't PLEBA chat because I tried and couldn't get on...I guess I would, but I'd feel like the MOM prolly, which is ok.My son was raised on U2 and he loves them as much as I do. AND, I would love to post pictures if I had the appropriate software. I love that everyone else does. AND, I mostly lurk, because the few times I've commented on someting, folks have gotten a bit irked and felt I was negative. But basically, I think PLEBA is great for my bonoaddiction, plus there is usually a laugh or 2 as well.

I don't like chatting anywhere. I feel embarrasse in real time like the person is RIGHT THERE

and that's just weird to me. I'd rather use message boards and email.

I thought I might feel like Mom too, but then I saw some of the older ones were on. I guess it's not age but personality. I have also been accused of being negative. I think it all goes back to what I said in another thread, that I just have a different personality and sense of humor than most of the ones here and I have different tastes. Sometimes someone with a completely different personality, sense of humor, mindset, attitude and opinions will jump my case and accuse me of something I didn't mean, but it's because they are so different they see things in another way, but I have a very different mind and don't see it that way, if that makes any sense.

Anyway, back to the chat. If it's all about 'moobs' and 'moofins' and young girls giggling over sexual innuendo about men more than twice their age, I know I wouldn't find that a bit entertaining or enjoyable. (not bashing it if anyone else gets a kick out of it, it's just not my idea of fun) I'll stick to this message board, keep feeling like an outsider, and maybe once in awhile I can talk to someone who cares. I read your post on EYKIW. Thanks, I was touched too. So rare to find a kindred spirit. Thanks for caring

If you ever want to talk in private email me: Stormy@rt.nl.

I appreciate everyone's comments, explainations and, in some cases, understanding.

Have fun, no matter what pulls your string, and I will try to do the same
