Is it normal I want to know this?

  • Well let me just start off that I don't really recall much of the history of IIN but I think it is sort of cool that you do.

    I understand that like this thread does show that people do care about the community on here but I would rather it not be a popularity contest. I remember that there was a post like this which just said something like "If there's something that you want to tell another user on here well now's your chance." And you know what happened? There was a ton of love. Users declaring how awesome it was that so and so was here. Other users admitting that they can be mean sometimes but really hope that they don't come off as hateful. I want something like that. I want us to just like say that like "hey we're all weirdos, so lets be weird together."

    I mean yeah some users have left, but we got some new ones as well who seem to be making their own mark on this site, thegypsysailor and TheGhostofReason to name two. I'm not saying the community is perfect, but I'm just saying that we're getting some good additions to the community.

    I really don't recall any "power games" that occurred on this site to be honest.

    I guess then I'll end by saying that yes, I can understand that at least by posting this we can get an interest in the community. But that's really it, just an interest. I doubt that this post will actually do anything to diminish the whole "there are cliques are IIN" mindset that some people have. Not saying that you claimed this post would.

    • Do you remember the user Atlantis that was trying to stir up trouble a couple months ago? That was the only time when a random stranger on a website made me consider not using its services anymore. Other than that one incident I really like this website. It is the only site that I log into almost everyday.

      • That user sounds vaguely familiar. But I don't recall him too much to really say if he was bad or not, but i'll take your word for it. Glad that you stuck around though.

        If you don't mind me asking, how was he stirring the pot? I mean what made him different from other trolls?

        • He was extremely condescending and egotistical to the point that it was hard to tell if he was actually trolling or being insanely serious. He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I used some of my old emails to send in multiple complaints about his blatantly harsh flaming and harassment until he got his IP address banned from this website. He did not know me yet yet he started making up rumors that I molested children and that I should be reported to the authorities just because I disagreed with his harshness towards other members. It crossed the line of annoying internet trolling into the realm of harassment . He tried to make a new user name and pretend it was me, things like that.

          • Wow this guy sounds like a phenomenal douche. I mean like I knew some people on harassed others but rarely to that extent. God this guy sounds horrible. If I was in your shoes I would have considered leaving to. I think I recall some other user on here who had a similar name to you back when it was just "Icame" Similar forgery has happened to a few others on this site and it always sucks. From the sound of it good riddance.
