Rants, the good, the bad, and the just funny

Sometimes when viewing rants from people, I discover that it isn’t really just senseless flaming, usually that is.  Sometimes there’s some kind of motive involved in the posting, or emotion, or maybe just a desire to post it.  Whatever the reason, it’s rare to find a post that is actually of good quality..  Usually there’s some “noobs” “ranting” about their feelings, or what happened, usually they are serious, but the way that they wrote it…is just hilarious.  There’s no form, no styling, no wordplay, and they expect a reply other than “lol”?  They wish.  If you use abbreviations, are too lazy to even make a effort to make your post differ from most, you will never be taken seriously.  Its as simple as that, to be honest.

I’ve been a member of forums since November 19, 2006. That’s 624 days from the date of posting this, and I think its time to leave them. I originally joined JoeJoe.org because of my old, I mean, old friend that went by “AppliArt” who was and still is a member of JoeJoe and deviantART. I was invited to Vectorfive.net May 2007-ish, by Ralan. I joined AeroXP shortly before, I don’t know the date because I don’t feel like looking it up. I joined iWinUX because it was like a clean slate, if it didn’t (doesn’t really) have/had staff issues, this would be the best. Probably the only forum I will join from now is a World of Warcraft private server’s forum, to be honest.

I have mixed feelings about forums, they have their moments, but there’s too much of something…always. Too many newbies, too much staff, too much drama, too much spam, too many “VIP”s, and most importantly too many flame-bait members, or just too many members in general (it feels intimidating).

Honestly, I’ve had it, I might keep this MSN (segraym@gmail.com), though, I highly doubt it. I’ve already made another email, etc., because well, there’s always that “awesome” forum, that’s not really awesome; that somebody recommends me to join, and post. I mean, I don’t want to be rude, so I do. For the most part, (why I’m ditching my MSN), is because I feel kinda awkward having so much forum staff on my contact list, no offense.

I’ll check my old (segraym@gmail.com) email occasionally, but don’t expect a fast reply. If you ever want to get into contact with me (which I doubt anybody will), just email that address (segraym@gmail.com), if I’m on somewhere you are, Wii (in general Guitar Hero III online play), World of Warcraft, IRC, Ventrilo, Teamspeek, etc. I’ll give you my information, so you can talk to me, and/or my friends, play with me and/or my friends.

And of course you can always talk to me from here, and I have an new email, if I like you, chances are you have it.
