Don't go =\ I don't really know who you are but, I don't like when people leave places, it feels empty. I talk here about fish and photography and I get a formitable number of responses, but because i want to talk about fish, and photography, I also joined a fish forum, and a photography forum where I get what I'm looking for on those specific topics. I'm sad you didn't get what you wanted out of here and I've not been here for long, but I like it =\.

I have noticed that people who complain about the content of any forum are those who aren't contributing and putting up new topics.

Don't be shy, ask about the situations and things that you need coping skills with.

I'll agree with him that WP can sometimes be choked with many negative threads, especially in the News section and (presumably, I've never been there) the Adult section. For a section like The Haven, this is only natural, but I don't see why a News section should be filled with threads about "woman raped" or "pornography something" or "cat lit on fire" when there are much more positive news items out there.

Each to his own...is what I think of in terms of people's own tastes. There may be some things you consider negative and some things you consider positive. If you're just focused on the negative than you're probably going to see more of that than what you consider positive. Just something I learned from myself...I was about to leave WP too. I also remind myelf that I don't have to put so much into one forum if it's not my thing. There are hundreds of sites you can go to. You don't have to just narrow this particular site down to one.

Here... I'm not broken.

Out there with the NTs, I am.

okay, okay...

I'll swallow my pride and say I need you guys.

I suppose it's a two-way street, huh? I need to ask the questions. I can't just expect the answers.

I can understand how your feeling about this site, I still like this place, but it have become to spammy with all the popularity threads and outright posting for a higher post count, what is pissing me off is nobody is interested in removing these posts or banning people who are only here to boost their popularity. Anyhow I haven't been posting much lately because of the spam and creepy topics, I just can't handle the chaos anymore. I did create another Aspie Forum for anyone thats interested, since its smaller it would be easier to be proactive with spammers and trouble makers.

WP used to be small too, then it got 20,000 members in four years. Cockney, SpaceCase, and obvious alex are all from those early days.
