I think it's funny some ppl won't posts in other ppls threads  over a altercation back in 92
not really that long but you get the point  This ain't even funny, because it's so true. Sad but true. I can count on not seeing certain people posting on any thread I create whether it's thought provoking or silly. Doesn't matter....  They're boycotting me!
i do think i am the most boycotted poster on the site no doubt in my mind I think you're still being ignored, Adj...

Is there really anything to be gained by seeking to be popular on an internet site? Sincere question here... It’s been stated before that Mingle2 is "cliquish". It’s a free social networking site which means there are of course going to be 100s of members, possibly thousands by this point in time. I find that I am more "notorious" on certain forums because I post there primarily. Those being General Religion and Science and Philosophy. People who frequent those forums will of course know my nick and profile and leanings. I am aware of who they are also if they post on those forums often. It does not mean I am "popular" necessarily. Probably "familiar" would be a more accurate term by now. The same would apply to several users I would assume. I also receive tons of emails from people that both agree and some that don’t share my political leanings also. I welcome their comments and I have met some interesting folks. |

Okay okay...if this is mingle 90210, I want to be the girl next door who secretly pines for the guy she's always loved but he doesn't notice her because he's too in love with the other girl who is so not right for him....
Oh, crap...wait...I'm talking about Mingle Dawson's Creek or something....nevermind....lol
And anyway, I also wanna be the girl next door who gets an awesome guy in spite of it all!

I can understand why people want to develop a community of friends online, most of us here have done it and understand that these friendships and romances do develop into real life relationships. But there is a lot of falseness in many of these friendships, where people arent really proper friends, and they go about as if they are, being overly nice and chummy to eachother. Its not real to me.
I find that my total disregard for trying to be popular, or even liked, makes me more popular and liked than i probably would be if i put any effort in. |

I posted in this thread this morning and to come back now to find it more the 5 pages hey thats a lot of catch up... but I will say this about some threads I see on here.. I don't post in the ones that have pages upon pages of the same ole rhetoric.... I looked at a couple and said.. "clique"... sure I excluded myself and maybe that narrows my propularity say huh here! well you know what I mean its fun to post things sometimes being a smart arse and sometimes serious.. BUT I don't make this site my life... sure someday I will meet someone from where ? how do I know? but its nice to see others opinions every now and again.. ISN'T THIS WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT/ ..Not contolling threads?

I had to leave this morning so I couldn't respond to any of the 5 pages of posts. Kind of surprized me a little that the thread didn't die right off.
Since you all were gracious enough to answer with some very insightful responses, I guess I should also share how I feel about the whole sha'bang... I don't have a problem with trying to be popular per se, but it just seems to me that some folks would be so much more interesting if they wouldn't try so hard to be liked by everyone and their dog... It really is just like highschool sometimes and I don't know about anyone else but I didn't even care for it when I WAS in highschool. I tend to avoid cliques of any type. If someone started a thread based on all or any of my favorite things, I think I'd avoid it unless it was obviously welcoming to everyone. So yeah...I do boycotte some threads, and some members. I'm sure they aren't losing any sleep over it though... I do try to give folks the benifit of the doubt but once I see that my 2 cents is not even worth 2 cents, I shine'm on in kind... my bad? |

There have been many threads talking about the clicks of jsh/mingle (whatever the site name) since I have been here, which is a little longer than you, allen.
I seem to fall like I did in high school, I have friends from many different cliques. And I sit with the 'misfits' at lunch (the group that doesn't fit into a clique).

generally - ppl that are popular on forums are popular for less than 'good' reasons
IE: T R O L L but sometimes - ppl are popular for great reasons...i've seen it happen...(once maybe)

It's way better now than it used to be. Now, it's just the occasional thread with the same 6 people posting 100 times each and ignoring anybody else who tries to participate. They're easy enough to spot. |

They're easy enough to spot. Yeah...I guess that's exactly what I was talking about. You get ignored when you were trying to be sincere. It tends to make you more aloof than ever... Peaple tell me " you seem pensive today" Oh yeah? hmmmmmm... |
