Just made this amazing one right now:

 

To be honest, I really don't get why you guys keep lowering this to a very personal level. Not to undermine the significance of any of the things you two have spoken about, but it really seems a bit inappropriate - I could gladly make the wide-sweeping remark that everyone on this site has dealt with social anxiety and loneliness, to a small to large extent.

When I joined the site, I was a very unhappy teenager who craved social interaction, and had been using forums due to not being very sociable in real life for years. Not very dire stuff but still, I think this was the same for a few of my irl friends when they joined.

And if you look across the members list, I reckon almost everyone on it has had a similar experience, regardless of time in their life and situation, where they went through this to whatever extent. I'm also sure there's people who've had to cope with situations as apparently dire as yours.

But the thing is, that's why an online community like this exists - it really is a "forum" in the classical definition.

There's no criteria needed to be part of it. This isn't some massive social club where everyone is friends with everyone and you need to penetrate it or whatever.

I work at a pub, one in a village where most of the drinkers are people who live nearby, and I think its an image that perfectly mirrors an internet forum like this - Most of the people who drink/hang out there are locals/regulars, everyone knows each other but might just hang out with certain friends or people, some people actually dislike each other, and they all come in day after day to socialize.

Now, you guys just need to stop making posts like this, because they're not going to help anyone. There's absolutely no need to keep bringing in your personal details, because the very basic elements at their core are overtly familiar to everyone here to the point of irrelevancy. You can't just request we pay more attention to one of you and not the other, because that's not how we work - socializing on this site is a natural experience, not an artificial or forced one. You need to stop caring about whether people know or respect you, because this isn't a social club and, to be frank, you're never going to get along or be friends with every single member because there's just far too many of us. I've been on this site for like what, nearly five years, and there's still plenty of members I don't know all that well.

And most of all, you guys need to stop making threads and posts like this. Socializing isn't some sort of game where you rack up points and evaluate your process, because there's nothing to evaluate. It's just like real life like, for example, going on mumble for the first few dozen times, when you hardly know anyone, is almost exactly like forcing yourself to go to a party your anxious about. These posts, where you draw attention to the fact that you feel like your not fitting in, are probably the sole reason you're not; it's almost like your making it an issue. Had you not mentioned your ban, I can guaranty you that 98% of this site wouldn't have even been aware of it.

Very simply, just stop worrying about this and stop doing what you're doing. Being on this site shouldn't feel like an overwhelming process of developments and setbacks to you guys.

imagine if one day rioter and sucky meet each other and the similarities are so great that the universe can't contain them both so they fuse together and become SuckOnRioter

Do you not see how retarded that is?

 

We are a community. We play, we laugh and, most importantly, we listen. Today I humbly come before you all to share some factual information.

On 8 December 2011, the role of administrator specific to GamingMasters' Team Fortress 2 PropHunt server was disbanded. Members of this group were offered the choice of becoming full server administrators or returning to being community members. All members of this group unanimously decided to return to community member status.

On 7 June 2013, the administrator application form was posted as a stickied thread within this very sub-forum by user and manager Dark. On this post, it was stated that users may apply for a variety of administrator positions, including "TF2 Prophunt". Not mentioned in this post was that upon this reintroduction of the Team Fortress 2 PropHunt server adminstrator role, it was not offered to the users previously in this role.

On 21 May 2014, the GamingMasters group underwent various changes, including the removal of the clan and a new focus on community. Within this post, a manager of the GamingMasters community, Savage, stated that applications for administrator rights on any specific GamingMasters servers could be done directly to any managers. On this thread, I publicly applied for the position of administrator specific to the GamingMasters' Team Fortress 2 PropHunt server. This post received positive a number of positive reactions including 6 "Agree" ratings, of which 3 were from existing server administrators. Despite this public application having positive community response and being read by multiple managers, it was ignored.

On 12 May 2017, a community member named Selvar made an application to become an administrator of GamingMasters' Team Fortress 2 PropHunt server. Within 38 minutes, a manager of the community replied to say that the application was being discussed by the management team. On 16 May 2017, this application was accepted and Selvar became the first administrator specific to the GamingMasters' Team Fortress 2 PropHunt server in over 5 years.

As we approach the 3rd anniversary of my still-open application, I would like to thank the community for their support over the years and look eagerly onwards towards the good times to come. There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; there are no honours too distant to the man who prepares himself for them with patience.

 

Good times were had, great food was eaten, entertaining shows were watched and then hilarity ensued...



Yep, a Minecraft fight in Boston North Station...
