Tasheen is ridiculously ubiquitous.

I used to lurk on SOC and I met the Delta who owned it back in 97. But I don't know them well enough to be all in the mix. Wasn't an Alpha until 03.

I have no idea who I sent the invites to..... most likely the real fair skinned dude.

I think we have it just about covered. :)

SHIM/SKEPi/intimidated by my hotness/Gamma Chi/other GC inside joke reference.

We're missing the thread lock/deletion predictions, but other than that, I think you've got it.

Oh, and teh cult. We're missing teh cult.

a warning from a moderator or a lock?

Rudey

Best Thread Ever?

Should we vote?

Ahh the wonderous life that is GC. It might be just me, but i'm kinda wishing that long-banned members would come back, just to give us some entertainment. I guess only in my dreams...bwahaha.

No, I think 'Shid's Retro still has that honor.

Usually I'm quick to hijack but your post (kind of sadly) seems in earnest.

Anyway, I read through some of your posts, and I'm not sure "belittled" is really what I would term it - you said something silly, then argued about it. Not a super endearing start to your career, but it's not like you stabbed a dude. It seems you didn't really check out the (decidedly different) culture of the Chit Chat and Rush areas, which make the other, nicer fora appear as Utopian as Fourier himself imagined.

Esoteric bullshit aside - seriously, you're being overly sensitive here.

Most of us did, in fact, jump all over new members for one reason or another - in fact, this is kind of why pledging exists, to correct issues with new members before they become fully initiated.

It's obviously not a problem, but you're seeing in the responses why searching is (vehemently) encouraged - you're throwing stones against the monolith here, and I'm not sure why you think the monolith should be torn down at your request (and, more importantly, to your benefit).

that would probably be Elden....I was his DP...he crossed @ UMES back in 98 and as a matter of fact I was in his wedding this past Sunday....

hey stop thru the board...

It's the same on any internet message board. Newbies who dive right in without knowing the posting climate/knowing how to search/having completely correct information are flamed. We were all new to GC at one point and asked questions that have been asked a million times and are easy to answer now. Just sit back, search, and you'll see how GC operates. Most posters observe and get involved in chit chat first before diving into extensive Greek threads. Many posters on GC have learned a lot from each other and can answer questions quickly and efficiantly.

If you don't like it and don't want to get flamed, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you :p

Back on track (for a moment) - yes. We handed you the proverbial olive branch, and you wouldn't let it go. Most of us, me included, have been handed our asses a hell of a lot worse than what happened earlier to you. You can get over it, learn from it, and continue to post, or you can leave. It's not going to make an overall difference to the rest of us either way.

I rarely post on here, but reading this thread (and other recent ones) it appears that people do not seem to get that life is going to be this way, on a message board or not.

You're new, you know little, you make mistakes, you correct them and learn, and move on. This is the cycle in almost anything. Brush yourself off and move on.

oh right, lest not forget the declaration of "omgz you guyz are a bunch of meanies i hate you all im never coming back :stomps e-feet around and refuses to post for 10 minutes pretending not to care:" from crazy newbie GCer.

wait for it, wait for it...
