We are finally on the Green post! (And I'm already starting to forget why I'm actually doing this.)
Yeah, I know I've not been on MSP much, and that is for two reasons.
1. I discovered IMVU and am now hooked.
2. Sims brought out a supernatural pack. 'Nuff said.
Okay so today I got a message from Meglitz:
Lots of people seem to be doing these look service things. There's not really any faults about them (except some people ask insane prices-i.e.: several gifts per look- for their services). Sometimes I feel that looks are kind of forgotten on MSP, as it all seems to be about movies, (even though that's the point of MSP)
Looks are fun but hard to make, especially when you have 2,000 odd friends making it all lag. I remember once I said I would make anyone who asked a look for free, and I got loads of requests. So I had to log off every third look I made because it would lag. Now I have a special account for look making (doesn't really help though :D)
ah well. I guess I'll leave the lookmaking to you guys ^~^
Finally we come to the Pink post ^~^
And a little thing that's come to my attention lately on the forums is this thing called 'Forum freaks'. On more than one occasion I've bumped into these people and fired random questions about how their system works.
But now, I've started to notice niggly little flaws with this thing. The forum freaks themselves aren't bad, but it's when you see stuff like this:
Person 1: I want to join.
Person 2: Well talk to the owner.
*Buzz* Problem number 1. From what I've seen, this thing isn't an open club, instead you have to ask the "owner" to join. Which seems a little unfair if you think about it. Shouldn't everyone have the right to post what they please on forums? Also there are the people going around saying they are forum freaks when they "aren't" and are getting into arguments, which also doesn't seem very fair.
Which brings us to the next issue:
Looking through posts like this, it starts to look like a poaching thing, with two forums fighting each other to see which is the 'coolest'. I don't much like this either, as it doesn't really make any sense. No forum is better than the other, they're basically all the same, just with funky titles.
So yeah, I'm not so keen on the whole idea of 'forum freaks'. Mostly for the fact that people feel that they need to brand themselves as something to be random, and what happens if they don't get in? Or if they get tired of being a part of a group with a leader, instead of one where everyone is equal?
Guess we're just gonna have to wait and see.
I mean no offence to any forum freaks by this post. These are merely my opinions.
Also, can we STOP with the whining about the RP forums? It won't help anything at all. -.-
