Dear people who are posting in every single thread to each other all day long,

There is a great new invention called email where people can have private conversations. You can get it for FREE at Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, and even from your school!

Please stop ruining GC.

I'm not actually sure who you're talking about, but there's an invention called PM where you can request things privately.

ETA: you also only speak for yourself. Others may agree with you, but you are not them.

Yes, others do agree with her.

The fact that you responded so quickly should address your first sentence...

Drolefille 07-19-2006 04:20 PM

Except that I'm not "... posting in every single thread to each other all day long"

There's no seperate conversation going on here.
THere's also nothing wrong with posting actively.
I do believe that I'm on-topic 90-95% of the time... though that may vary on a day to day basis.

So, no.. I don't know who you're talking about...

I don't know why it's so hard to click ignore if you have a problem with a poster either.

Many, many others agree with her. Some have even been avoiding GC because it's so annoying and diverts away from whatever the thread was.

There's nothing wrong with being an active poster, and the only threads I don't worry about being on-topic in are the ones that were derailed pages before.

If you'd like to point me to where you have a problem with ME? Then fine.

As long as people are posting generally on-topic, I think it's just a personal problem you're having, not an actual logistic problem. I don't know who I'm going to email about the NAACP and Bush, or other such topics. And I have taken conversations off the board onto PMs to avoid straying off topic. And I'm talking to the other posters on here, not just 2 other people. As are the two other people I assume you're talking about.

shinerbock 07-19-2006 04:29 PM

I don't have job, and I like to argue with people I don't know. So sue me.

Tom Earp 07-19-2006 04:31 PM

So, :mad: No Friggen comment!

It is an open thread isnt it. Well last I heard.

So, Drolefille, is not a proper GC Poster? In whose eyes is this?

Give Me a break!

Long hours make me very damn cranky!:p

Climb off of the Ivory Tower.

Your post quality is exceptionally higher when a.) you're not posting in the same thread as KLPDaisy and AlphaFrog (although w/ AF this has been better lately) or b.) you're 'defending' yourself against perceived slights.

PM_Mama00 07-19-2006 04:46 PM

It's pointless in sending a PM to a few people when there are at least 10-15 other people who agree.

And if it's an open thread that is one thing.... but turning threads into 3 or 4 person conversations away from the topic is really really annoying.

valkyrie 07-19-2006 04:50 PM

Is it? I think it's awesome.

PM mama, what are you doing this evening? I'm planning to go to the gym and then watch the White Sox pound the Tigers.

Jen 07-19-2006 04:54 PM

Thank GOD someone finally said something! I don't hang out on GC much anymore because of the pointless drivel that a handful of people have brought to GC recently.

PLEASE take it to PMs or email and stop torturing the rest of us.

Can't wait to see the clever comeback that will spring forth from Miss Frog's keyboard.

kdonline 07-19-2006 05:01 PM

I agree with GeekyPenguin, et al.

No one likes a big mouth.

Personally, I'd use the ignore option on those people, but I like playing "I bet [certain user] is going to pipe in now!.....and again! and AGAIN!"

Hmmm... that could be a new drinking game, if I was into that kind of thing.

:rolleyes:

As your sister, I am voicing my concern for your liver if you decide to play this game. Lol.

Or a concern for just doing anything after playing said game.......:D

STFU, BITCHES! 07-19-2006 05:24 PM

I find it funny that they're quiet now.

Mission accomplished!

fullertongreek 07-19-2006 05:24 PM

You know what I hate the COUNTLESS threads directed to asking certain people to clean out their PM box...and only the same 3 people are the ones who ask this said person to clean it out.

/end rant

valkyrie 07-19-2006 05:25 PM

If somebody's PM box is full, it's probably because she doesn't want to hear from your bitch ass anyway, amirite?!

shinerbock 07-19-2006 05:28 PM

I like how people are coming out of the wood work to talk about how __________ has reduced greekchat to meaningless chatter. I mean no offense, but I highly doubt the conversations before the chatter started were on the verge of curing world hunger or anything.

Drolefille 07-19-2006 05:52 PM

No one here is required to post on any thread that they don't want, they're also free to ignore threads that they don't like, such as PM clean out threads. Ours are not the only ones out there. I'm sure Valk and GP think they're only being sarcastic with the threads they created but I say, whatever they want. I'm not forced to click on them.

As for the other threads, I do take more time when I'm posting in my defense. Otherwise I comment just about as clearly as ANY OTHER POSTER ON HERE. If you're talking about trainwrecks check out the lame thread...

If there are "COUNTLESS" PM cleaning threads, how is it that there are only 3?
Clearly if we clean out our PM boxes, we did in fact want to recieve PMs.

I'm glad I can at least provide kdonline with some entertainment *bows*
But seriously.. it's a MESSAGE BOARD. It's never 100% on topic, and there's always thread drift, but if anything the thread drift has been better lately, so I'm not sure why you're complaining now.

It is SILLY to take a conversation to email when I'm talking to 5 people... Thank you PM_Mama.

I think some people are making this some sort of personal grudge match. Seriously, have more important things to fret about.

Yeah no kidding. Then you've got shmucks who complain about Rudey and I, when in reality we are good for greekchat. We put the fatties and psychos in check for all their lies and we get suspended. Before all this junk, GC use to have internet gangs consisting of girls bullying other fat girls.

Thrillhouse 07-19-2006 05:57 PM

My time spend online is on sites like youtube. Not posting in forty threads a day with a three paragraph response in each one.

Jen 07-19-2006 06:02 PM

If I ignored threads that had certain people post whoring in it....there would be no threads to read on GC.

You are free to click the ignore this person button at any time.

Quite frankly neither anyone I know nor I post simply for the post count, aka post-whoring.

Jen 07-19-2006 06:04 PM

Your 1000+ posts in just over a year speaks to your ability to restrain yourself.

As opposed to Geeky Penguin's 8K posts in under 4? That's 2x as much as me!!! Oh noooo! Same for kddani. And valkyrie has slightly over a thousand a year.

Some read more than they post, some post when they read. To each their own.

Most email systems have a REPLY TO ALL button.

You guys are getting annoying and are making GC WAY LESS FUN for a lot of people. If this is how annoying the H&A used to be, then I'm really sorry because this place SUCKS now.

Trust me, you guys were worse.

This place has always SUCKED.

It only got better when I turned it up a notch, or when the fratties invade with their hilarious content.

Some can say I'm annoying, but atleast I'm being a prick to those who deserve it.

Jen 07-19-2006 06:11 PM

Regardless of it all - Drolefille, a big chunk of GC thinks you are annoying as hell and your posts are stupid and pointless and you and your little friends have made this place suck ass.

Apparently you can't shut up for more than five seconds - try it now, won't you? Try it for maybe a whole DAY!

Drolefille 07-19-2006 06:12 PM

ETA: GeekyPenguin
I wasn't even around during the "H&A" though I guess that some of the people here were acutally involved in that? I hope not as that would be hypocritical. I think. Since I wasn't here and don't know what it is, I really can't say.

If I wanted to EMAIL people I would.. but I want to talk to the people HERE so I do :)

And it seems that even YOU want to talk to me.
I highly doubt that I single handedly (or three people, triple-handedly) destroyed Greekchat. I'm sorry you're not having fun here any more. I hope you stick around anyway.

What do you think you're going to achieve? Make me leave? I haven't done anything ban worthy. No one really has. I do not feel like I'm doing anything wrong, or behaving inappropriately. Some other long time posters have said as much as well. Therefore do not expect me to change based on what you've said.

Um, while at work and in between doing stuff, I post. And I don't care about playing quiet contest with you either.

ETA: I'm not the only one posting quickly either...

BobbyTheDon 07-19-2006 06:13 PM

Hey Drolefille,

you're a retard who probably AI'd someone somewhere. Go eat some hagan dazs or something.
