Well that's why there is the Chit Chat portion of the board. Sometimes it's fun to get to know other things about your fellow GCers instead of just their GLO.
I really don't see what the problem is. If you don't like them, don't read them. The fake ones get called out. I read the good ones, I disregard the dumb ones.
I will admit there are certain aspects of some recruitment stories I don't like:
- "Does anyone want to hear my recruitment story?"
-"I thought no one was reading"
-"I am a longtime lurker or a longtime GCer using a different name" (20something, you get a pass on that one
)
-Thinking that "brutally honest" means having a license to talk shit about chapters (not 20something's use of "brutally honest")
-People who constantly beg for updates
-Fake stories
-Dragging your story out unnecessarily
-Including too few details to make a story worth reading
It's unfair to lump the stories of 20something, LeslieAnne, irishpipes, susan314, curlygirly, and honeychile (to name a few) in with the "stupid rush stories". However, I don't think that this thread will stop any other REAL posters who are GOOD writers with an INTERESTING story from sharing. At least I hope not.
