Anyone seen him around?
C'mon man, where are the witticisms? The comebacks? And the general no BS, informative posts?

I am the perfect example of what Wes just said. I think I get just as many e-mails asking me to send out my pics as I did on the last site...maybe more. If you've been here for a while the people definately remember you! |

I am going to regret this, b/c for some reason i think the guy doesn't like me, but Joe Umali has not been heard from much either. _________________ Check out https://www.facebook.com/darcizzleoffshore |

You know that swass and funk are both out there lurking in the shadows...they're just not posting. they're just letting everyone get all worked up and then in dramatic fashion they'll be back. _________________ "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

It's not like Swass was a daily poster anyway and this site has only been up for about a week so far, so I didn't really expect to much from him in the first place. Funkster, on the other hand, is a surprise to me though. In another post, I read something someone wrote saying that he didn't like the new look and wasn't going to post again. I bet he will be back eventually, just not right now.
Dragon - Why do you feel like quitting? I think it is kind of cool starting over, although I do miss almost being a Freak. |

PartyB - I don't think Umali really has something against you. He always seems to be bashing people, if you want to call it that, but that's just the way he is and he means no harm. He says what's on his mind, but he doesn't necessarily have it out for you. |

I feel like quitting beacuse it seems that some othor people have all ready broken 500+ posts! its kind of discourageing considering that im still a retarded newbie! that and its not the same whith out funkster or swass or some of the othor common names around. i just feel like its all new and i want it to be the way it was! _________________ wakeboards

Come on Link Overlord! haha... I agree it kinda sucks having everything reset, but a lot of people are still here. Give it some time and people will be back and you'll get your posts building up. Just find some conversations to take part in and your post count will jump up in no time. Personally I'm not going to quit the site, but I definitely need to limit my time on it. I realized that I spent WAY too much time on it (150 posts in the first two days? Come on!) and not enough on other aspects of my life. So I'll drop in once in a while, but just not to the same extent as I did before. |

Dragon, what does it matter if you have 5 posts or 500 or 5000? Do you somehow associate your importance as a person or status in life with how many posts you make on wakeboarder.com? My impression is that you do not, so that being the case, it shouldn't matter to you. Personally I'd like to see the post count go away and that would eliminate alot of the useless drivel on these boards. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the occassional diversions from topics, chat-room type conversations, etc, as some others do. I participate in those threads as well as everything else and I find them interesting to read sometimes even if I don't post. As for missing some of the "regular" names on here, I can completely understand that, but how do you think it makes the rest of us feel? Like we're not worthy of your company. Like most internet boards, people come and go. They get bored, burned out, or just have other things that take their attention away for awhile. Hang in there, I'm sure you won't regret it. _________________ "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Benjamin Franklin

I guess I do find it part of my status online. Beacuse I think that it makes some one look more creditable(sp). I was talking to Funkster last night and its not like im saying any thing allong the lines of your not worthy of my posts. sorry if thats what some of you got out of my post. but any ways getting back to what funkster said. back in the day it was more like a tightly knit family (expecially in the non-wake area) and now it feels like 2/3 of that "old family" is gone. I miss who I was online it made me feel better to know that othor people knew that i posted allot. I guss thats Immature of me, but i am only 14. I just miss the old site, not trying to discourage people form this site. or saying im better than any one, beacuse im not. I just want the old site back Mabe i dont handle changes the best. _________________ wakeboards

Dragon, people had over 500 posts before you joined for the first time at the old site. Anyway, I felt this site lost that feeling Dragon's talking about the day Summer started. I totally agree with you missing people, it kind of sucks to see people, that were fun to talk with, leave. But you still can talk with them, just like you are still keeping in contact with Funk. |

Dragon, sorry if my previous post came across as a little harsh...it was not intended that way. I just want you to understand that you should not base your self-worth or self esteem on the number of posts you have, but rather on the fact that many people on this site know who you are and that you are well liked. Although I don't spend nearly as much time on this site as alot of people, I know that I'm right based on what I've seen and read in the past. Change is never easy but it's the one constant in life...nothing ever stays the same. It's the way you handle change and adapt to new situations that really shows who you are. One other thing to think about, that tight knit family environment you refer to was here before you joined and they welcomed you into it with open arms, so it only seems fair that you do the same to other newbies trying to break in. As I said in my previous post, give it a chance and hang in there...I think you'll be happy you did. _________________ "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

Ya'll are reading way too much into my absence.
I don't care that I lost my "Addict" status, or whatever it was - I've just been busy, and I really don't have anything to contribute. |
