Um - RELAX everyone... Here's some realness.

namix · 10-17-2013, 06:25 PM

I hop on a client call while chatting with GoW IM and come back to nonsense lol

the only difference between earlier today, when everything was fine, is that the site is in a slightly better position to be fine in the future now that we got a hold of GoW.

GoW hit me up within like a couple hours of a post i sent his way - i mean, that's more responsive than I normally am to direct IMs, let alone a post asking someone to get on IM.

So yea, if anything, anyone that likes the board should thank him for getting it back. At the end of the day, the members make the board -- so act like the people you want the board to be, and in time YOU'LL co-create it in your image.

I got love for this hobby today because of what it was in the past.

Because of like-minded people who shared a desire to convey their creativity through the written word --- and in a competitive environment. A competitive environment that helped me tap into a side of me that does, believe it or not, make me better at pretty much EVERYTHING i do today.

TROLL THIS YO: TEXT MADE ME BETTER IN REAL LIFE.

Text made me better at conveying my thoughts through words, written or spoken. Better at puttin my heart to paper through pen. Better in VERY SPECIFIC ways like a more extensive vocabulary which enables me to translate technical concepts to business executives as a digital strategist, and better at conceptualizing VERY HIGH-LEVEL concepts by being exposed to unique world-views and interacting with diverse individuals which have little else in common -- but THIS.

Damn straight text influenced my REAL LIFE. And if it's not influencing yours, then why are you wasting it?

Recognize this though:
GoW and I have very similar perspectives re: what's right about writing and what's wrong with this 'scene' today. Got love for what it was and what it could be, but not for a lot of the BS in the boarding culture.

There's a lot of talented writers on this board.... All the hate though, not just competitive fire type shit, but literal just hate, will create nothing but a void eventually.

I just do my thing here - GoW only admined me because he knows i share his vision of the past.... All the trollin and shit though -- just check yourselves.

I learned to ignore it, because I STILL don't understand it, and i do not plan on trying to. I just think the world is a fucked up place, full of fucked up people who fuck with others because they were once fucked with, and in doing so, further fuck up the world, themselves, and our collective future in the process. Until we change as individuals, whether on this board or beyond, things will continue to be all sorts of exponentially fucked up.

Changing any culture takes time. Oven not a light switch.

Please try to make this a place others want to be apart of -- and in time, it'll become the type of place YOU want to be apart of even more.

THAT AINT SOFT --- THAT'S LOGIC.

IF YOU WANT IT TO GET BETTER - then BE BETTER yourself, and stay stead-fast.

IF YOU SAY TEXT IS DEAD - you are killing it.

there was a time when the discussion forums were the least active part of a text site

that's when people actually wrote rhymes everyday
