Hey, anyone heard anything from @Andy lately?  Probably just busy, but I'm a bit concerned. :/

He's not coming back to the forum. He's still active on Discord, and he told me so there. He feels he can't speak his mind and that it's no fun anymore. Partly because he can't speak his mind and there was something about passive-aggressive attacks. . . I dunno, it was a while ago. As far as I know he'll still be active on Discord.

I can see it. There's a certain tendency in the community to indiscriminately debate things, whether facts, opinions, or feelings. Now, debate isn't a bad event, in its place and time, particularly among people that are keen on it. However, it's easy to see how someone can get a negative impression when there always seems to be someone else to come along not only to differ from but to oppose whatever you stated most recently.

Oh, that's a shame. :/ I know Andy had his reservations about some behaviour of members, yet he still seemed a respected member by many and I thought he liked it enough to persist...


I don't know. I think I'm missing something with this forum. I know it is quite close-knit, but I really don't feel it's unwelcoming to newcomers and all that? *shrug*

Yeah. I think we could be a little more welcoming, but on the whole I think we do a pretty good job of trying to welcome new members.

"They have."

::)

I didn't know that Andy was used by multiple people. ;D That's what I was asking.
No, Andy is just one person.

While I don't think any of it was on purpose, I can see how Andy would have felt out of place on the forum. Regardless, I hope he'll come back eventually. Hopefully we can be more open and welcoming.

What?  That's unfortunate. :(  What passive agressive attacks?  I seriously hope someone wasn't bullying through PM's. (Hopefully this post all makes sense - I havent been able to really sleep in over 24 hours bc trip to Oklahoma)

@Jukka the Sling: This is rather random, but what religious denomination are you? I know Skarzs and Rosie are Catholic; Maudie, myself and several others are Mormon; Banya is non-denominational, I believe (although I could be wrong); Mhera was a very strict Calvinist (Baptist, if I recall correctly)- but I'm not sure what you are, other than some form of Protestant.

Just in case anyone gets the idea that college is all fun and games: sometimes, college will make you feel like you are being run over by a train. In slow motion. While simultaneously being sprayed in the face with every type of Axe product that has ever been made.

The other day my friends were on a train and it ran into a cow. Or two. There was blood all over the train.

So in college you feel like the cow?
