So I'm starting to feel like DS isnt really helping me with things. I have friends on here but i hardly ever talk to them or feel much love around me. I thought this site was really going to help me meet new people and experience new things as well as help others out becuase that's what i love to do. But nothing is happening. More things that arent totally the best are happening in my life, but the one good thing i do have and love is my fiancee. I love her very much and i cant wait until we get married. But i dont know what to do about DS and feeling loved again.00

I dunno what is happening to DS.

me neither, the boards are so hostile or just plain full of crap most of the time.

Of great note right now, is how fake DS is. Sorry, it's true.

I remember once being uplifted by DS- now it is truly as Powerout says... its all BS and pride and fighting. The good is so minimalized its hard to see anymore.

I remember the party threads, or just plain joking around as a community. So many hatreds have developed that even if you did ignore the trolls, someone would surely eventually take notice and Hijack the thread, or the mood in another direction. Then you get those people trying to control the place...

Don't do this, don't do that. Don't talk about this, don't talk about that. Sigh.

I should go back to my dark days of honesty and cynicism. It was more fun back then.

I haven't been on here that long, so I do not have the expectations that you do.

Hey rebels...

First, congrats on the future marriage :)

What I have done here at DS is I have taken what I need from certain people and posts and I leave the rest alone. I have learned a lot from just reading certain posts...if there is fighting within, I back out and go to another. I have made some wonderful friends here who have pulled me out of the dark pit and I have helped others the same way. Do you post on many of the threads here? That is how I started making friends by posting more. My first 2 months here I was very quiet and had a handful of friends but as I started opening up more and posting more people got to know me better, and in turn, I found friends here.

I hope that made sense.....
