Poll: Feeling jaded

[Lazzi]

I been on the escapist for a while now and I have to admit, Im feeling a bit jaded. I remember when I first arrived her on the escapist as if it were yesterday. I was young, bright eyed, and full of hope. But now I seem to cringe every time I come here, its almost feel like a chore to come and read to forums.

Every thread feels so bland and over done. One has some desperate pseudo philosophical deepness, the other one is blatant trolling. This OP had never experienced life as a minority, that other OP is an extremist. Some were some kid makes a grammatical mistake and suddenly hes savagely mauled by hyper critical grammar Nazis. Its just all so depressing and Blase?

So Im wondering If Im the only one who is feeling this way right now. And for those that have, will I ever regain my youthful exuberance and positive outlook?

perception and what you make of things is what your reality of it will be.

With all do respect, no one is making you read the forums. If it appears to be the same repetitive nonsense, you don't have to click on it. Plenty of articles on the main site, and plenty of other sites on the internet to waste your time.

Probably not. It may be time to take a break from the forums for a bit or to go and search for topics besides the ones that pop up on the front page.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Do what I did, take a break from coming onto the forums for a couple of weeks or just post here and there.

Everything loses its charm sooner or late. Either take a break or find some other reasons to keep coming here. Or you can always rage quit, its fun to watch.

The only exception being Necroswanson.

OP, I only feel jaded when I see repetition, particularly bad grammar/spelling, or blatant disregard of the rules. The renowned ban-jumping Halo troll has two of these characteristics, giving him the lifelong imprisonment sentence in my book.

That wasnt a rage quit, per se. It was more of a uncontrolled moment of hypocrisy...or maybe it was a rage quit.

Exactly what happened with Necroswanson? I left from a while, so Im not all caugh tup with the gossip. Please infrom me!

 

[Tears of Blood]

I am always jaded.

Long story short, he made a huge FUCK YOU thread about the "hypocrisy" on the forums and peoples ignorance etc etc culminating in a mass of complaints that while possibly true were executed in a terrible way, even though it was completely contradictory in the first place to make the thread. Sadly i dont think the thread is around anymore or i would link you to it.

really...

I knew he had and ego the woudl make Kanye West feel humble but still. I mean Jezz, I didnt like the man at all. But I never thought that he would suddenly disapper in a flood of conceted/fuax badassness.

While I still love this place, there are certain things I am starting to notice more and more.
But I just deal with them in my head or ***** about them in PMs.
What I love about this place is that you really can choose to ignore things if you want to.
Of course, a good rant/bit of abuse of a new, uninformed poster is always fun.
Right, meta?

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Jaded about life

Okay, okay. Probably not as exuberant as I was, but I didn't exactly begin starry eyed or anything. What's annoying me the most at the moment are the posts that get repeated several times a week (sometimes with two running simultaneously). Screw the search bar. People can't even see the list of currently cycling threads.

Are you saying i abuse and rant at new and uninformed users? Hey its not my fault they like it....or did i just read what you said wrong?

Well, most of the more active users have done it.
I've just seen you do it more often.
So I'm guessing that some part of you enjoys it.
Are you saying that is false?

Eh, everyone needs a good welcome hazing. Its part of joining any community. If you dont like my methods i would suggest you kiss my...ok ill be nice, point being why so serious? Do you honestly think i take myself seriously around here?

Hells[sup]No[/sup]
But I'm not one to pass up an opportunity to give a nod to someone else's work, you know.
Especially if I enjoy reading it.
[sup]Did I really sound serious?[/sup]

See now i wasnt sure if you were being disapproving or not, im still not sure lol. Anyway i like you bob dont make me kill you.

Heh.
After all the time we've spent around each other?
Wait...we haven't spent that much time...crap.
:-/
Honestly, why would I be disapproving?
Half your posts make me smile, half of them elicit a chuckle, and then a third of them do something else that you can imagine because my brain is not allowing an original thought out at the moment.
As for the killing threat: it's been tried. Oh so many times.
If you feel it is necessary to attempt, at least be original. I've had it with dodging snipers.

I'm still as exuberant as I was when I started .... witch was a week ago X3. poked around a few other forms, but this is teh only one i felt any desire to post on :3, guess that counts for something

 

[AvsJoe]

I've always hated forums. Every forum; including this one (sorry Escapist, but it's the truth). I'm only on here for the badges and then I'm gone.

 

[Timotei]

I get that feeling every so often. I'll usually visit 4Chan and spend a few hours roaming /b/. And once the words "TITS OR GTFO" have been burned into my eyes I know that I have lost faith in the site and return to the Escapist refreshed.

You need that, or for that matter, anything to keep you away from /b/? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

What can I say? I'm a wild girl.
