Why Aren't You Posting?

My family just doesn't understand. But I like to bug them about the show and the forum and the fandom as a whole. :devil:

ETA: I come on TalkCSI because I love the board and I love the people. I think it's been almost two years since I joined, and I've formed friendships that have even extended beyond the internet. So I come back because I love the shows and the characters and the actors--and the fans that love them too.

So, to connect this back to the thread even more, posting isn't just about commenting on the show, it's about connecting with other fans. So I think it's worth it to try to find ways for more visitors to participate.

 

I do that.... its too much fun!! :lol:

 

I come on TalkCSI because I love the board,I've been on other csi boards, but I just didn't felt good. This is the one board that made me stay more than a couple of weeks. :lol:
I came because I love the characters but now I'm here for the people too,met some pretty cool people that I can actually talk to.

 

This is the first board I joined and I'm happy to say I post as often I can. The best thing about being here is the fact that I can say what I want to say.

What it really makes this board alive is the fact that we all can express what we feel about a character and an actor/actress, as well as the show itself. If I don't like a part of an episode, I'll say it, just like if I find something annoying I'll do so.

 

You making me dizzy with your alphabet soup *lol* but fun to read..

No I don't find fault in if one didn't like E as you say last week, yesterday, or the next epi or the next or whatever.. to express it,,what I find fault with and I'm not saying all that dislike E are like that, but as I think there are those "few" that just go in when they see something posetive just to state E sucked..with no reason at all behind it..I don't find that like any kind of criticism or any kind of discussion ... that just downright feel like someone who just likes seeing their name on the screen with a word sucked in the post, only to stab at a posetive post about E.. (sheez I'm getting dizzy now)

As having the whole board finding peace as in everyone loving everyone no matter what...as you say ,,never gonna happen... what I think needs to be done is that people act like adults, respect eachother, if you dislike something fine just that there is no reason to be rude about it, understand and respect that other people have other opinions, and of course post more posetive opinions hopefull it doesn't hurt because let's face it the negative side most of the time get's the loudest, not just in this fandom but everywhere. I come from a forum of almost 30 000 members so trust me I know of horrible ship wars, name calling, horrible attacks, accusing people, trash talking actors/actresses,characters get's trashed for the most stupid reasons that has nothing to do with the performance.. And trust me I hate it for it to go that far in here as well..

Will I post more on this board?? Hopefully... NY is one of my top 2 favorite shows on TV today.. but for some reason I'm not posting here as much since becoming a member then I do in the other fandom,, maybe I'm trying to protect myself for attitudes I've already experienced for some time and maybe I have more tougher skin over there today then I have here at the moment, the future will tell.

 

Give Fay an inch and she'll give you a three page essay. You ask for the rest of the alphabet, I'll bet you money we'll see it eventually.
I come to this forum because CSI NY is not popular amoungst my friends because it occasionally has a darker side then the other CSIs. It lacks the bright lights of Vegas and the Up-beat/soap operaish style of Miami. It is different and unique, and I do love that it has some pretty beautiful actors as well. *cough* Eddie *cough*
Tempers and Attitudes are going to be high everywhere, but here a lot of opinions are divided by a brick wall complete with barbed wire and electricity. There are some pretty heated debates but if you're not scared to imput your own you can meet some awesome people. I'm dedicating myself to stopping in at least once a day to post, if humanly possible for me.

 

Soup is good.

Sometimes you just like or dislike something without a long reason. Other times people feel that they've adequately expressed their reasons in previous posts or in other threads and don't think (or want) to include them again or repeat themselves. People can try to clarify themselves more, but I anticipate that the opinions themselves won't change.

Don't tempt me. But I'm keeping a list of letters, just in case.

 

True story. I think I said this earlier, but it bears reiterating: sometimes I just don't want to repeat myself or what other people are saying. Other times, I have a lot to get off my chest and will make pretty long posts. Nothing as epic as Faylinn's, but lengthy for me.

Another thing to bear in mind when someone gets on your nerves is to just let it go. Odds are pretty good that if it's really insulting or truly stupid, they won't be gaining any points here anyway. At times the wank is unavoidable, and boy are there people who post on this board just for the express reason of getting on others' nerves. They're the ones who disappear the fastest when there is no response to their crap anyway.

And the reason why I like it here? There are disagreements aplenty, and heck, I spent three whole days with people from this board with whom I've disagreed on occasion. None of them ended up in the Pacific Ocean that I can recall. But this is a great place, all told, and I've made some genuine friends here. That, and, I've informed my long-suffering husband (who doesn't get a second look from me on Wednesday nights) that if I go into labor on a Wednesday, I'm crossing my legs until the show is over.

 

Hrmm if it's the right kind of soup

No I hardly think opinions would change..but I really don't feel the need to when I see a posetive post for B to go in and post *B sucks* and nothing else.. only because I see a posetive post.. then the next posetive comment comes along about B and then again you see the same people going in and post *B sucks* and nothing else again... like I haven't gotten that the first 50 times the same people posted it.. if people feel they don't want to repeat themselves with the reasons behind why,,then I can't even understand then why repeat the same thing about B sucks over and over.. if they can't be bothered with having a reason, or feel like they have stated that reason over and over I really don't see the reason of stating B sucks over and over either.. that in the end from the same people 50 times over and after every posetive comment and after every epi or every scene talked about.. hrmm yeah like I didn't get that already. the other 49 times it was said from the same poster over and over.. you start bascailly to see a pattern.. that is nothing more the spite or trying to actually start a fight.. I've seen those pattern so many times before on different fandom it's getting old.

Alright I'm tired..I'm heading of to bed.. see ya all maybe some other time,,maybe tomorrow.. who knows..

 

Any that did were there of their own free will. The fact that we could all spend three whole days together, arguing, shopping, eating and going to the beach shows that no matter our difference of opinions we can put it aside long enough to enjoy each others company. Case and point, Top and Midnight who spent enough time arguing about Danny/Flack to make Elsie's husband reasonably uncomfortable. So please people, don't go and argue just for the sake of arguing.

 

Wow no one got tossed in.. well that is good news...

No I do agree..there are places you can meet friends and talk to and maybe even meet in real life,, and get along with different opinions.. I've done it myself..not here since I don't know anyone as good in here,, but from other places..some I've met, some I just talk to everyday on forums and sometime they are one of the reasons that keeps me going back even after everything I've gone through, and I've had some fun times, meeting up with some fellow forum members and going to convention and been able to meet actors from those shows... never met anyone from the NY show,,but ended up meeting a few techs from LV.

 

Hush, or I'm going to regret not dropping something on your head from the Santa Monica pier.

I doubt arguing about Danny/Flack could make him more uncomfortable than visiting a certain section of the bookstore with us. :devil:

I really don't know where this is supposedly happening.

 

To be quite honest, I have not seen anything remotely close to what you're describing happening in this forum.

 

I chose the not enough time answer. School Homework and Exams is a lot to blame for that. Maybe it's also my loss of intrest for the internet and I don't have the desire to go on everyday after school like I used to.
And I gotta say I'm losing intrest too.
All the things I wanna say are pretty much said by the time I get here. Considering that I live in New Zealand and see the new episodes about 1/2 a year after you guys see them. I've tried to stop reading the spoilers too because I find that I reck the whole thing of actually watching CSI: NY, and those were the threads that I was in most. I do go onto the Naughty Picture thread and that from time to time but I don't have anything to post, so I don't.

The whole "I hate Linds vs I love Linds" thing doesn't really bother me to be honest. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I agree that 'user bashing' isn't cool. However I haven't seen any of that since I've been around.

Also, I have more fun going onto other sites like www.bebo.com and talking to people about CSI and talking to the Roleplayers there.

Also, I'm a 'newbie' I've been around for a while but I lurk. I dunno why, and I don't think that I'll get attacked for my opinions, I just don't post. Maybe I have to make some maties on this forum :lol: any 13 yr old lurkers around?
