I am feeling nostalgic.
I was bored in class before and so I went to the first posts made in vets and read through a load of random threads. (It was also the who do you miss thread that inspired me)
I miss everyone from vets!
I miss the sexual friendly banter that used to occur in most threads
I miss the innuendos
I miss the jelly wrestling
I miss the threads that were made by people feeling crap, who would post a joke or something light hearted to cheer everyone else up.
I miss the community feel we used to have.
I miss the fast moving vets of the past.
I miss maff, an ewin, an chels, an aidey and everyone else who used to join in the fun (usually incorporating boobies)
Everyone seems to have dirfted and I dont like it. I mean fair do's i fthey have moved on to a better place and what not, but I miss the atmosphere we used to have, the real community feel. The place I could come after a crap day and know there would be something there to make me laugh.
I cant complain at vets serious as the level of support in there is amazing. But in general, there are not many threads made anymore. I think people gave up. Threads have a lot of views but hardly any replies. Surely where not all so consumed with problems that we cant take time out for normal conversation and some gentle humor?
All I can say is that it has been this quiet for this long before, and it resurrected itself, so I am confident it will blossom again in the future.
I am not so sure you know. i know i havnt been around for as long as most vets, but for me this place has lost the community feel and Im not sure if that can be recreated. I used to come into vets 3 or 4 times a day to check for new posts, now its ever 3 or 4 days.
I think I was right in my orginal assumption. People have become to comfortable with there depression. They wrap it around them and it becomes all consuming, nothing else matters. when in fact the communication part is more important, in my opinion, that most other things.
I dont know, maybe im jsut to nostaligc.
We have lost comrads along the way and it upsets to me to remember how we lost them an such. We should all be together in this to beat it. we should all have our say and such. This is YOUR site, put in to it and you will get far more out of it. even a simple message, so there arnt as many views with no replies and such. because theres nothing more disappointing that posting an thread that only gets one reply. and you wuold be surprised at the amount of threads that get deleted because the OP has seen loads of people view the page butnot comment so assumes thye dont like it.
Does definately seem a lot different to what it was say 6months ago... like you mentioned about lady spray and cats and I know a lot bout that n it just got totally overlooked..!
(And I did see your other thread, I just didn't know what do say coz I guessed it was from a song but didn't have a clue lol!)
but but but I made a thread about it in like February and that was like ages an ages ago =[ *sulks*
Perhaps im just missing people. They all seem to be moving on, which im really pleased about. But I miss the fun and I miss having a (and jelly wrestle) with people. Ive migrated to general chat, but its not the same, I like adult humor damn it! Maybe it just says more about than anything else. Perhaps I just dont know how to make friends anymore.
I just wish there was someway to bring back that community feel as I think we could all do with a good ole dose of it!
aye.
i agree.
i stopped coming on here for like 8 months when i moved house, then came back on, and vets general had lost its magic. i miss the olden days too :(
Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.
There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.
