Some people on this site can be tough to deal with for new people, so I can see where she's coming from. I do understand that some are trying to joke around with her, but remember that she doesn't know anyone. The joking around may not come across well to strangers.

It's alright, OP. People are just a bit wary of using email away from here, until they know for sure you won't scam. It's understandable. Welcome.

Please let me remind everyone that e-mail addresses or links to other sites are not allowed to be posted within the forums. If you want to exchange these type of things they must be done through our e-mail system here that is provided for all...

Very true David. Seems like if Yahoo Messenger was all that hot and or secure they would not have to be constantly trying to recruite people away from other sites.

I wonder if it gives people some kind of perk or another to get a new person?

So far anyone I have ever messaged that wanted me to go to yahoo was evenually deactivated from this or other sites as being "undesireable" for one reason or another. You sign on Yahoo messenger it loads up your computer with a ton of cookies. Who wants to sit through "housekeeping" everytime you want to sign on?

Oh well I guess if you don't jump up and down and say yippee lets chat you are being negative.

I don't really understand that sentence that I bolded above. Who is trying to recruit people away from other sites? Yahoo Messenger?

yahoo and other email services like that aren't very secure. People can hack very easy (I know because I was hacked)

Not to mention, if someone tries to scam you in yahoo...it's out of our jurisdiction

How secure is this site? Do people's accounts ever get hacked?

It's secure. The only way someone can hack your account is if they have the password

I would suggest that anyone that goes to yahoo or other means of IM keep a record of all your e-mails. If in fact they are a scammer that alone can get you out of deep trouble if you get caught up in one...

Always play it safe regardless where you go....

That didn't really answer my question.

Some people will want to use chat services off the site, because it's easier and some won't. Either isn't wrong. It's just a matter of preference.

ummmmm yeah that answered the question. If someone wants to go off site, that is obviously their choice. I was explaining why (in my experience) it's not a good idea. There is nothing preventing them from doing so though.

wow this generated quite conversation as as my aim and thank you for the lovely posts about myself they where muchly appreciated and yes i understand some ppl are mucking around but as someone said i dont know you ppl so sometime your mucking around can be perceived as quite a nasty attack or plain out right being a pig i apologise if i misunderstood ur mucking around in any case i am a nice person and would love that to be seen by others in any case this post has been quit entertaining and educational i think thanks all and ciao for now lol

Hi and welcome cass, there are lots of great people here worth taking the time to get to know, we enjoy getting to know newbies too. Bring your sense of humor, have some fun and maybe meet someone worth chatting with off site too. Hope to see you in the forums!

thank you and i try to reframe from my humour as most ppl dnt get it and can be easily offend by it lol

You're cool, casskitten, you'll fit in just nice.

It takes two to tango; anyone can misunderstand another person's jokes, just like you said.

People like to dance, but when one does the tango and the other, the cha-cha, there is a lot of stepping on toes by and of both partners.

Eventually all partners learn how to harmonize their steps.

"May I have zis dance, mon cheri mademoiselle (ou madame)?"

why thank you but i still struglr to understand some of ur comments ur intelligence is obviously way beyond my means of understanding lmao

You're cool Cass. Don't worry about who is offended by your humor. Remember that this site thrives on humor of many types and yours is most welcome.

We have "in-jokes" which Jesus himself would not understand the humour of, if he hadn't been aware of the foregoing events.

And some of our jokes are based on character knowledge, which is also impossible for a newbie to be aware of, no matter how intelligent she is.

Let me put it this way: Stay here and enjoy the company, as long as there is anythign to be enjoyed for you. When the joy stops, don't overdo your tenacity, leave us.

You see, life is so full of ugly stuff that we don't want to do but yet we must do, that to spend time voluntarily in a place which you don't like is not smart.

If you like it here, stay.

If you don't like it, don't stay.

We are ... a little bit like America.

We would like you to stay, but we won't force you.

hmmmmmm i intend to say but think i would prefer to ignore what i do not understand and ignore that which offends

Lol, you will get used to the humor here cass, people here in the forum are great. Just take some more time in the forum and you will find out. Welcome and have fun here.
