This is my second Thread.
Once I had a classmate, he was a lonely kid. He and I were in the same class. He did not have friends in class, neither did he talk much. He did however, play the computer for most of his life. It would make one think, why would a person be like that. My class was a lively and active class. We were a friendly class, the type who everyone could make friends with in a matter of seconds. But why, when everyone else in the class opened up and befriended everyone else, and yet he remained to give a cold shoulder towards the class, why?
The reason was discovered by me, Today, Friday 13 March. As only today I tried to post a Thread. I have to say I was not very good at it. I had never bothered to use the forums normally, unfortunately for me, this site "The escapist", had drawn me into Forums, the reason? It is because I had been intrigued by the numerous interesting posts at the side, while I was watching "Zero Punctuation".
But that aside, as i created an account, to reply to the Threads advertised by the "Whats New" section. After i finally made a few reply's, i became aware of a button. Little did I know that it was the start of my demise. The button was "New Topic". I was curious of what I could post and the excitement of posting my First Thread. I decided to post a thread on the gaming console. It was an utter failure, as the Thread was brutally thrashed about by "frequent forum members". "This is a poor concept for a thread", "it's been done to death", "it's badly executed" and "please use proper grammar and spelling". These were some of the common remarks that were made towards my Thread.
Honestly, I did feel bad about this. I did however did feel offended when posts like "Report and move on" came up. I felt very angry when i read them. After all I did say it was my first time writing a Thread, the least they could use less hateful words. I then remembered that, there were many "first timers" like me, and if they were to be nice to all of them, it would take a lot of patience. To add to the problem, there will be people who are just detestable, and to face them frequently in a forum, it would transform people like my friend into a heartless person and would not trust people easily from then on.
In summary, what I meant to say, is that being in a forum is like being in a MMORPG. Some would like to help and others would just want to annoy you, some due to their frequent exposure to bad new players who beg, they will conveniently add you to their hate list without a care. I, Ejhio, would like for forum members, to please be nicer to new forum members, I am 17 and I had totally ignored the forums until now, so please, some of us are just really ignorant.
To those who read my first Thread, i apologize for the bad topic and the grammatical errors are due to the excitement in my head for posting my first Thread.
Edit: Another proof of nice people around =D. Just read the comments.
