The Shack is a unique place. To some, this place is a lifeline to the outside world, to others its a place to bullshit about whatever, to others its an interactive dictionary to everything, and to others its a place to just be lame.
Unfortunatley most everyone uses at least two of those definitions, some have done all four... which makes this become sort of a "Tightly-knit, not so tightly-knit community"... or "shackers" I guess.
Sometimes I post here asking for personal advice because I really honestly have no other place to turn, and for the ability to do so here, I am very grateful. Other times I just come here to talk about a way cool game, or strategies in hacking Dark Jedi in half... and other times, when Im bored, just to chit chat about music, porn, movies, and Maarten. To me, the ability to beable to do all these things makes this place mean alot more to me than others.
Not that having this place not mean so much to someone is bad, but im sure to 90% of the people that even LOOK at the comments (much lest post, even much less post regularly), its just another messageboard...and thats cool
But its strange, because to those that do take alot of pride in being part of the community here (oddly enough as it sounds, I most certainly do), tend to take alot of opinions here seriously and hold them in high regard. Wunder is certainly one of those people... we've had multiple conversations about these things. Now while he takes every bit of feedback he gets about whatever to heart... others (such as myself), have been able to... put a filter on it, so to speak, and take the feedback we get here with A. a grain of salt, and B. ignore the noise as best we can. Hell, I look back on when I spread the CIH virus out because I shared the SOF demo infected, and just laugh my ass off now. I even remember it was reported on the front page of www.planetdaikatana.com !... comedy.
I guess what I'm trying to say here is that some people take this place more to heart than others. Some people consider this place, these comments, a larger part of their lives, compared to say..... the crappy Heavy Metal message board I used to read... but others just consider it 'another message board' (again which is fine)... so the two views on the place sorta collide.
As an example... the fucking lame, and WAY over done jo-papa jokes and references that are STILL dropped on this board daily. Bandwagon hoppers all around, most people here that drop it now probably dont even know where it stemmed from. Now, if it doesnt bother jo-papa, thats great... but by now, if he was me, I would have either left, like Wunder (says he hasnt but might be anyway) has.... or changed my username.
must sleep now.
