I'm here for you!
Thursday, October 25, 2007 by TheChaplain | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hey everyone, I'm "Thechaplain" and I'm (kind of) new here (I've visited the site before but I never created an acount until now). This site is great! I love how much you are able to skin differant apps (although I'm not very good at it 
).
Now, for what this post really is about:
I've noticed in the past couple of months that several of you have been going through some rough times, specifically Snidely Whiplash (Prayers are needed), and vStyler (Be ever vigilant...). I'm just here to let everyone know that I'm here for you. If you have a problem, or are going through a rough time in your life you can email me at: [email protected] (I don't know how to link it, Sorry! ).
God Bless!

I just want to say "thank you" to everyone who have expressed their veiws on this post. I'm very encouraged by several of you! 
I just thought that, "hey, sports teams and the like have a team chaplain, why can't WinCustomize?"
Now several of you observant ones may have noticed that I not only changed my nickname, but that I also changed my email. It is now: [email protected] .
One last question: When I changed my nickname it changed the name on my post, but it didn't change my name in the spot where it displays your nick to show that you are logged in. Any ideas?

Motor Racing, eg Formula One and MotoGP have 'sports Chaplains' ....for the very real possibility of needing to perform Last Rites, etc. {motor racing is dangerous]...however these people will be trained/Ordained and thus 'qualified' for the role...

It didn't change on the post above for some reason either... but it did elsewhere. As for the nick, it's possible that it's cached (hence why the last post didn't change maybe, cause it grabbed the cache nick). Anyway, If you log out, clear cookies/cache and log back in, you should be all set.
p.s. If you changed your email, and want that email account affiliated with your nickname, I suggest changing your email too. You can do that by clicking "my: Settings" under your avatar, then click Stardock Account on the tab at the top. Follow the instructions there. BTW, welcome to the community.

While your age has been changed/corrected on your profile, I stll would like to know more about your background. What road did you travel to come upon this choice in your life?
Reply #27 Friday, October 26, 2007 11:20 AM
While you're at also explain why I would want to confide in someone who is only 15 years old, as shown by your profile information? Now I'm not saying you can not be a religious person. What's in your background that qualifies you for your apparent vocation?

Can he EVAC an ailing PC or resuscitate a failing HD? Or is he strictly last rites for incurable BSOD?

Well I'm seeing some negatives here towards TheChaplain's offer, which I only took as an offer of friendship, and it has turned into a far from encouraging or friendly thread for him as a new member.
I don't think this was ever about religion or confessing our deepest, darkest secrets, but about an offer to listen when perhaps there's nobody else around, etc.
Guess what I'm trying to say here is that as a community we could be more tactful in our handling of such situations and not be so closed-minded....it's not like anyone has to speak about anything they don't want to...nor were they asked.

Well said
On the other hand, people at their most vulnerable need protection. We need to be mindful of, and sensitive to their needs above everything else.

Starkers . . . I think that we've acted in character, good, bod or indifferent.
theChaplain is releativly new here (member since Oct 17, 2007). Asking us to take him/her into our confidence was a ballsy step. Not a bad one and maybe one that took some guts but it did come rather out of the blue.
Having been here a month and long enought to see some of the requests for support he/she has also had enough time to gather that there is a ton of humor on this forum. I see a lot of that in this thread.
I also see some good advice.
All in all, it's not a bad coming out party.
In any case, I'm glad for the new member. Have a seat. Sit a spell. Make youself at home.

It's like brokeback mountain all over again! Seriously though, you guys are hilarious, you should have your own page on this site - too funny!!!
I agree Starkers, the original offer made by Chaplain was a friendly one, the response returned should have been a little bit more friendly. Welcome to WC Chaplain!

Don't listen to him....he loves me!
See what a freakin' liar he is?!
He's just so easy to hate.

Which is exactly why I would not encourage people to lean to a total stranger that is looking to be their 'confidant'
While something might look benign enough always keep in mind that there are many scams artists lingering around the internet just waiting to find that one person that is a bit down on themselves and then they are easy prey to internet con games.
People that are vulnerable will cling on to a sympathetic ear and be ' misinformed' or given improper advice by an unqualified person....or worse.
I think most of us here know who our 'friends' are and to tread carefully before spilling our guts to a stranger.
This is just a reality check of internet communication.

But, my PM Box will be open for lame ass advice between the hours of 9am to 5pm EST.
All proceeds will be donated to the starving WC Artists Association.
( Yes this is tongue-in-cheek response - I'm not really going to donate the cash
