I haven't been here long, as most of you know. I've spoken to a few of you but I get the feeling that I'm not very welcome. But then again i may be completely wrong.
A lot of you seem to know each other quite well, so i feel like im intruding when i post in your threads and it seems that no one ever replies to my posts or the post kind of just dies in the arse after i have written in it. And i was wondering, is it because i'm not funny enough? Not as interesting as the rest of you? Dont really have anything good to say?
Does anyone else ever feel that way? Or am i just being stupid? ...Maybe just being stupid..that seems to fit. Yeah, i'll go with that.

At first, I cared what other people thought about me.
Then, I didn't care what other people thought about me.
Finally, I realised people didn't really think about me at all.
Don't worry about it, just write what you feel like.

It also feel I'm intruding into personal conversations at times. It's always nice when someone quotes your post in theirs because it makes you feel that they have read it and feel it worth commenting on (not always good comments though)
Some of my first posts were sarcastic and I was even called a strawman, although no body has called me a noob yet
I also feel I didn't start out properly as I didn't put a gun smiley in my first posts:)

Or just dive into the arguments. Don't be afraid to do it, even if the replies aren't what you expect them to be. That's what I did, and although I know I'm not liked by some, most NSGers are pretty cool and will make you feel welcome.
As for the cliques, some of these guys have known each other since '03, so of course it may seem at first that they're insular in their friend groups, but they do welcome new comers. Just keep posting. Don't be afaraid to be who you are. NSG will feel like home in no time, and this is posted by someone who's been here since February of '08. It's home already.;)

According to its Wiki page, the Bielefeld Conspiracy dates from May 1994, i.e. is over 14 years old, which surpasses the age of many NSGers, probably including the OP - one would think it had gotten old by now. White text that leaves obvious blank spaces it n00bish.

Sport is generally a good one to get the juices going. We haven't seen a good "Gridiron is for whimp cause they wear pads!" "The pads are so they don't get killed... (links to the history and reasons for the padding)" "OMFG! Gridiron's rules are barbaric!" flame fest in ages...
Language always has potential...
History's usually good for a bit of fun discussion - especially the "who/what was the greatest...?" or "what if...?" thype threads.

Seeing as how Plum doesn't like vegemite, I'll take those vegemite sandwiches...
And a debate topic:
What if the "New World" hemisphere had been turned upside down and twisted, so that Australia and New Zealand were discovered by Columbus in 1492 instead of America? Would Aussie rules and vegemite sandwiches hold the places Gridiron and hamburgers do today?

Dear Plum,
Don't feel bad, and no you're not stupid. This is the general way arguing with people on the internet makes many feel. I have not spoken to you personally but I have read one or two of your posts and they aren't any dumber or more annoying then the rest.
I don't reply often because I am lazy, and I suspect that it's the same for many.
If you want I am always free to talk to about whatever-just drop me a message.

I haven't been here long, as most of you know. I've spoken to a few of you but I get the feeling that I'm not very welcome. But then again i may be completely wrong.
A lot of you seem to know each other quite well, so i feel like im intruding when i post in your threads and it seems that no one ever replies to my posts or the post kind of just dies in the arse after i have written in it. And i was wondering, is it because i'm not funny enough? Not as interesting as the rest of you? Dont really have anything good to say?
Does anyone else ever feel that way? Or am i just being stupid? ...Maybe just being stupid..that seems to fit. Yeah, i'll go with that.
You're new. Everyone was new once. Keep posting, and don't try so hard. Be yourself.

I wrote a recurring opinion column for my college newspaper (circulation 15k+).
If I learned anything from that experience, it is this:
If people are calling you stupid or arguing hard enough, you obviously have made a good point and one worth making.
If they truly thought you were stupid or posting gobblety gook then they simply wouldn't take the time to respond.
Don't worry about it. That's what the internet is for-open free ideas without having to justify yourself or identify yourself.

Or just dive into the arguments. Don't be afraid to do it, even if the replies aren't what you expect them to be. That's what I did, and although I know I'm not liked by some, most NSGers are pretty cool and will make you feel welcome.
Plum Duffs, I'm one of those people Nanatsu is talking about here.
Nanatsu, I once disliked you quite strongly. You seemed to post huge quantities in almost every thread on the front page, in every case devolving the discussion away the subject and onto what a great sexy girl you are. It really, massively, got my goat.
You still post lots, but keeping it to only a few threads and a more serious approach to the subjects of the more serious threads has made you a much, much better poster.
I still wouldn't say you're one of my favourite posters, but that thread you started about a woman with a severely disabled child was what finally won my respect (not that I'm saying my respect matters a fart). You argued with commitment, and fairly, and kept your temper admirably despite being called a Nazi repeatedly for some unfortunate phrasing which you had backed away from in the first few pages.
If I was a gun fanatic, I might feel a bit annoyed at what you and Liuzzo and others did over in the "Gun-Owners Roll Call" thread ... but since I find love of any object (and most particularly a gun) quite repellent, I got a few laughs there. I'm just saying ... you might still be annoying people when there isn't really any reason to.
I've noticed that the people who get irritated with you seem to be older guys like myself. I'm not sure why that is.
As for the cliques, some of these guys have known each other since '03, so of course it may seem at first that they're insular in their friend groups, but they do welcome new comers. Just keep posting. Don't be afaraid to be who you are. NSG will feel like home in no time, and this is posted by someone who's been here since February of '08. It's home already.;)
Well, that might be an advantage of posting so much and so widely, but please don't pretend that NSG would be a better place if everyone did that. When threads progress quicker than anyone can read them, they tend to turn to spam, or at least become very repetitive.

Nope. You're not funny enough. If you want to fit in, you'll have to send me naked pictures. That's the way it works.
Hmmm...I don't have nudddeee as such. I have topless. Will that make me more important?
Nerv, I always thought you were an alright guy... until you said that.
I'm entitled. I spent the last two years living next door to two Aussie ladies. We used to tease each other quite a bit about the one food product from back home that we couldn't live without in Japan, the stuff that we would get no matter the cost, and the stuff that, oddly enough, that either the Yank or the Aussie couldn't stand.
In other words, they tried to feed me Vegemite, and teased me when I couldn't handle it. And I got to harass them about their unreasonable dislike of peanut butter. :D;)
It's not that bad. However if you have an aversion to salt it may be a deal breaker.
Oddly enough, it wasn't the salt. I mean, I LIKE salt. My popcorn usually has the dryness factor of the Sahara from the salt. And I LIKE yeast! But it was just something about it...

Maybe because it is a by-product of brewing beer, and you don't like the taste of waste (Hey I'm a poet). Don't get me wrong I like sparingly, but most Australians like it, it is in the ration packs of the Australian defence forces and a study showed that 90% of all Australian households have at least one jar of vegemite in their cupboard.

It is indeed a dessert:
Plum Duff with Hard Sauce
1 cup milk, warmed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins
1 cup suet, chopped
1 cup molasses
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1. Mix together milk and baking soda.
2. In bowl combine raisins, chopped suet, and molasses; add milk mixture, mixing well. Stir in flour and baking powder. Place in cloth bag or greased decorative mold.
3. Steam for 2 1/2 to 3 hours on a rack in large, covered, cooking pot. Add more boiling water as needed during cooking time. Serve with hard sauce.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Hard Sauce:
2 cups sugar (can be granulated, brown or powdered)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup brandy
1. Beat (with electric mixer) butter into sugar. Add brandy. If too soft, add a little more sugar. Beat until smooth.
2. Hard sauce should have the texture of butter.
Note: In England hard sauce is known as "Brandy Butter".

It normally doesn't, but you seem like you have potential so I'll make an exception. Send me the pictures and we'll talk about your position here at NSG.

Is anyone funny enough? It depends what person you are and what you take pleasure from. There is never someone who makes everyone laugh, you have to find a niche market e.g. Uni students who are sick of exams and corporate and government brainwashing.
or you have to attach yourself to a clique.

So I need to put somethign together and get back in with Vrak, Iansisle and Walmington on Sea and all the others.

Well, did you know that i once flew all the way to Japan on a bicycle to buy small pieces of cheese? But unfortunately when i arrived they were all sold out! I said to The giraffe (who i was travelling with) 'Will you go across the street and find 3 tubs of diseased Inuits and send them to Jamaica?' And so the Giraffe died and went to Giraffe Heaven. I then bought a six pack of beans to wear as a disguise while fighting the evil Ninjas of the South Pacific.

of course, you're a rastafarian aren't you? it all makes sense now, the giraffes, inuits, cheese and ninjas are all common symptoms of the dreaded religion called 'boredom'.
In this boredom many people reside, and use it as an exuse to do crazy things, i say there doesn't need to be an exuse!
A frog without legs is a sort of fish right?

I'm not the best person for singing, maybe if i practised i would be. but at the moment if you like the sound of car revving it's engine then you pretty much have what my voice is like, uh except i don't eat petrol, and i usually get round to washing myself and not letting someone else wash me.

I'd just like you to know that I closed this thread only as my small contribution to giving Plum Duffs the full NationStates experience.
Not because it had degenerated into spam, or because of any sort of modly bias against blogthreads, or ...
Ah, the hell with that. I closed it because I felt like it. Now go away.
