To be honest...
Now seems like a pretty good time to post one of these little things cause Lappel's being sold, Clark requested closure of his account without my permission, Saturday changed his name into something that's making me uncomfortable because it makes me feel like he's about to leave the forums, and I need to get this feedback out to those who can still read it before they leave.
This forum has been really kind to me. Through the ups and the downs of HackForums, the drama and the celebrations, through the scammers and the shit members, I have always done my own thing on this forum.
I've made friends on the forum, but I was never looking for them. HackForums, if anything, is an emotional punching bag for me. It is the truest representation of who I am. I can post things on here that I can't tell my friends. I can talk to you guys and ask you guys for help more than I can anyone. Parents included. It's not sad or maybe it is. Even though the interactions I have through this forum is virtual, it's in a sense, the realest manifestation of interpersonal relationships.
Most of the time, I mean what I post. Even if I'm joking around on here, it's just for the comic relief.
I didn't join this forum for "free stuff" nor did I join it to scam anyone. (Which seems to be a lot of people's intentions these days.) I stayed on it because I thought the forums was more entertaining than any game I have ever played.
This thread isn't going to be a repeat of my first feedback thread. You can read that here. I've grown a lot since then and only a portion of that Grin exists now. Probably just the retarded part.
Anyway.
I'm going to talk about some recent relationships I've had with members and the community.
A meaningful part of HF for me was the HF Writers. I'll have you know that I was blacklisted from the Writers a long time ago and was added into it and then kicked again due to a very angry child. I was since re-added by iHydra and the memories came flooding back. Clark, Saturfag, Vegas, Baghead (rip), and Harlem. Bunch of smart ambitious individuals who seem to know what life is about. We'd always hang out in Skype and Roger Waters was always hanging out in the Writers lounge. I don't think any of the aforementioned members are a fan of Mr. Waters, but I like him. He's in college and he's doing what's good for him. Fast forward some and I added futana into one of our gay Skype chats one day and the rest of the crew liked him a lot so he became well acquainted with all of us. I found some naughty images of futana's old tumblr, which made him delete it ASAP Rocky. Also, I'm not going to forget Schizotypal and Aura. See? HF members are great. The reason I became friends with these people isn't because they were Ub3r, or L33t. It's because they were funny, conversational, and entertaining people. Aura is just a good human being overall. I don't know what his true intentions are, but from what I could see, he was always helping members. I think some people are just born nice. Aura helped me with exchanges and technical support on-call. I met Aura a few summers ago on HackForums, but my first impression was that he was a skid cause he was rocking the Legion userbar. Little did I know, Aura was probably the only exception in that group. Jumping all over the place here, some other people I met who are notable of mentioning are, n3y4k0, who is probably one of my goodest frens on here. Another imaginative, intelligent, and incredibly observant individual. A true wizard. I hope he doesn't leave the forums before I do. It really sucks seeing all my friends leaving the forums. I don't view it as a cue for me to leave, but it's just upsetting that people are leaving. I don't want to make this a shout-out thread because it's not. However, some members have left impressions on me that I needed to mention. That's all.
Some feedback about the forums in general. I don't visit any particular section nowadays, but I always hit the View New Posts/Threads a few times before I close HF. I like to see who I can bait and have a jolly 'ol fun time with and who I can offend. It's honestly great. I never hold any real grudges against anyone here nor do I hate anyone here. There are just certain members who I can't stand posting because their posts are so dumb and they make me die inside. After a long exposure of those members, they usually make their way to my ignore list. I think I have over 50 members on my ignore list. I don't like the fact that I can't stalk people who ignore me because I love stalking people. However, I do like it that other people can't stalk me once I add them to my ignore list. Kinda of a dilemma. I should suggest to Omniscient fix that. jk jk
I browse HackForums a lot when I'm in class, when I'm on the toilet, or when I'm about to hit the sack. It's just a piece of mind I get so I feel like I didn't "miss" anything. Usually, I don't miss anything because there's literally almost nothing important on HackForums. But let me complete this thought. Because HF has been integrated into my life, all the non-important actions, threads, posts, and retards make HF important. It's kind of paradoxical, but I feel like members who waste a lot of time on the forums might know what I'm talking about. I also browse HF when I'm intoxicated on certain substances. It makes the experience more entertaining than if I'm on here sober because I literally give no shits about what anyone thinks about what I say. It's taking normal Grin to the next level pretty much. So to answer the question. What does HF serve to me? I think the answer is more complex than a single sentence even though I mentioned it being an emotional punching bag. HF to me, is...sort of like a safe haven. I can run away from a lot of my problems off site and post about them on site. Some members have genuine gold advice. Other members have trolly silly advice, but I LOVE IT. I FUCKING LOVE YOU FUCKING TROLLS. You have no idea how important that one retarded comment that'll take my mind off my real problems helps. I like the variety of the population here. It's never boring. I can't do boring.
Shoutout the music section we have on this forum. I get to share a variety of music and people who like it and dislike it will come and post their opinions on the thread. Usually when you're with your friends, you probably don't blast music they don't like in front of them or they probably don't stay your friends for long, but on here, no one gives a shit. I have to say that's probably one of the main sections I do visit if I have something to share. I'm glad to have met people who share similar tastes in music with me and even happier that I got to offend those people who listen to rap. :-) If I tried doing something like that off-site, I'd probably get shot by one of you lowlife nerds who believe everything you listen to. Amen.
Lounging is cool because I have so many stories to share. I honestly sometimes will be doing something off-site and if it's interesting enough, I'll post a thread about it. I get to exaggerate details sometimes and it's up to the readers to believe what they want. In any case, I get positive feedback overall for the good read. Regardless of it actually happened. 99% of the threads I post are true so you might say I live an interesting life or it could be that I emphasize the interesting stories. or maybe the 99% is an exaggeration?? idk u figure it out.
Oh shit, I'm sorry. I almost forgot to give my boy Clique a mention. He's extremely bad at League of Legends, but he's obviously going to disagree with this. He feeds, he has no map awareness, he can't CS, he blames his teammates, and he's probably one of the most toxic players I've seen in the game and somehow he has never been punished for his negative attitude/verbal abuse. It's amazing. Anyways, Clique is a great guy. He actually moved to a pretty special place recently and I'm envious of his location. Clique doesn't do anything but go to work and play games. It's a great lifestyle. When I first got to know Clique, he didn't even work. He just played games all day and maybe went to the gym. Overall, Clique's just funny. His catchphrase is, "Oh yeah??"
Grevious is a pretty special nutcase as well. He has a gambling problem, but he won't admit it. I really need to find some professional help for him.
RIP Vinnie and his groups. I didn't expect him to leave and so suddenly. Like yo, wtf. All was well and he just disappeared one day. Vinnie smokes a lot of marijuana now so I guess we share that common interest. He's honestly a pretty funny guy and I don't care if he's got haters and shit. I don't judge people due to how many other members hate them. I make my own informed decision on members. That's also part of the reason why I will never participate in gang rep. I'm not going to let another member tell me to give reputation to another member because that's depriving me of a privilege of choice.
Let's see...what else should I mention...??
Smilies? Omg, I fucking love our smilies. They can make or break a sarcastic post. I love it. 👍👍 Also, look at this smilie. HOw can you not like it? It's so happy and positive. i'll spam it a couple more times 👍👍👍👍
Some feedback from my mobile browsing experience. I don't like HF on mobile tbh, but I'm going to use it anyways. I don't have a theme for HF on my phone and it looks weird, but I can still respond to Pm's and that's all I need.
HF has gotten me out of a lot of social interactions I didn't want to be apart of. When shit gets awkward, I just look down on my phone and there's HF and I can just post a reply and it'll look like I'm texting. Good shit. And if people are curious about what I'm doing, I won't just be looking at a blank screen not knowing what to do with my phone. I love it.
Staff feedback. Holy shit, I don't know who the fuck you guys are anymore. Where did Paradoxum and RDCA go? Oh well, as long as I keep my shit together, I'm certain you guys will leave me alone and do your own stuff. I miss Paradoxum because he/she was one of my favorite members on this site. A heart of gold, always helping members when the MRT was around, god bless that fallen group. Same with RDCA. Love y'all. You guys are like kids that I can rustle your hair. That's what you remind me of. Don't ask me why.
Factor8 is a chiller, I hope you got your phone unlocked because your iWizard Grin told you where to go.
Oh yeah, Ahri, that member. I found your doxerino. I'm going to pay you a visit before you ship out. Trust me. I like the way you operate on this site. Individually. You wouldn't harm a fly, you're not annoying, and overall, you have a pretty good sense of humor.
L'appel du Vide, it's been a fun as fuck ride and I know what you must do, Hexi. You're over the forums now, but let me tell you. You don't get to leave until the forums lets you leave. 😈
ok, that's kind of it for now. i guess. oh one more thing, if you scam, have had intentions to scam, or plan to scam, just end your own life. i hate people who take advantage of other people's trust. it's because of you, that people even need to hire a middleman or say shit like, "i'm not going first." scamming ruins other people's lives, at least a part of it, it's the sort of shit that just shows immaturity and a lack of restraint.
i have 1500 rep. boom boom pow pow. i feel like the reputation system works for the most part, but we have too many people who complain and shit so it almost appears to be flawed. but it's not. it's actually pretty darn close to perfect. a reputation report on a person really says a lot about them. Just go and read my negative reputations. https://hackforums.net/reputation.php?ui...w=negative you'll have a good laugh at it.
if you have like any questions or anything, just ask away. i'll probably answer em.
🎉
anyways, it's dinner time and I need to go eat my dog so I'll see you guys when I get back?
one last thing.
n3n3's present to you guys (Click to View)
