Is starting to drive me insane... :evil: I remember when I dropped in, most of the posts were from a relatively small few of truly die-hard Vanessa fans.. most noticably Let, Mike, Joe Wonkies, Nikkee, Tricia, Kas, Rich... I was a new person, I would have never presumed to jump in on EVERY SINGLE thread and post... and I woudl have never presumed as a newbie to post 50 individual topics each asking a retarded question... Maybe it's just me but if I'm new somewhere I tend to learn how things work rather than make a specticle of myself...
Slowly some new folks like me came along and we got Andrew, Pete, Holly, Sierra, Zena, The Sass & Talia, David Hart, Colin... folks that knew how to join a community and become part of it...
But just in the last few days.. I have been so annoyed with all these goofy folks who drop in and literally "take over..." We're having to endure Political attacks, Lifestyle Attacks, playing "20 freaking retarded questions", someone even had the audacity to send a racial slur to Shayshen after sheeing that she wasn't white in the pics she posted...
I know some of you may be saying, whatever man, you're a newbie yourself.. we were here months before oyu showed up... who are YOU to say these things... and you're right... But I'll tell you who I am:
I'm a guy that came to a place where I found people I liked a lot.. I built strong solid friendships and had some really great conversations.. and now I see some of those folks drifting away... and the little "home" where i met them crumbling... and honstly it makes me sad...
I guess it could have been expected... with Vanessas success comes the growth of her fanbase... I just didn't expect it so soon.
Well... I just want to let you "die-hards" know that I love ya... and I hope to see ya more often... I'm looking so forward to the Atlanta get together... and if ya ever need me I'll be here...
