Msgboard Chatroom Marathon
Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Honestly, I would go to IRC for this kind of stuff, but if any of you have been there recently, everyone seems to be...inactive. Sooooooooo, out of boredom, I'm turning a thread among this msgboard into a chat room, anyone care to join? =P.
It's Sunday night, and I'm bored out of my mind. There's much to do, but I'm too lazy to get around to do it. My boyfriend is busying trying to get Visual Studios to work so I can't talk to him on the phone....and we can't seem to talk over the phone anyways...it'll just be silence mostly.
New Semester started........so anyone alive out there to join Elffie in this chat marathon? =P
Let's try not to let this post hang for over 2 hours, hm? =P

this deserves an answer, i am just not sure that i want to give the answer in public.
feline *wonders how best to say this*
one upon a time, some years ago now, i discovered Stardock and Object Desktop.
while it wasn't always smooth sailing, most of it was good. now and then there were big issues with the software, but they didn't last long, and were dealt with in a good way. i felt happy about the overall experience, i was getting a good computer experience out of it, and wincustomize basked in the reflected glory.
i have been toying with writing a summary of my experience of OD for the last year, however i cannot quite bring myself to do so. why? simply because it would be so staggeringly negative and depressing *sigh*
now, wincustomize no longer basks in the reflected glory of my OD experience. instead when i visit i see sections of skins for programs that i dare not or do not use and reports of updates to programs that don't fix the bugs i am dealing with on a daily basis.
quite simply, due to "resonance" with this depressing OD experience, the mere sight of the wincustomize front page is enough to depress me
feline feels like crying at the sadness of this
as a result by the time i get past the front page to the message board all i want to do is to close the window, and look at something else instead. this has not come about overnight, it really has been building for a year or more. please don't tell me to email stardock support about all of this, the *large* number of emails i have sent speaks for themselves.
for a long time i threw myself into this site. when the message board became hostile i threw myself into this thread, as a haven, a safe place, something i had built, a good thing, my way of giving something back to the community.
i look in perhaps one a week now, since this is all i can bare to do. perhaps this thread will survive this time of trouble, i really do hope that it will. i want to return to my friends, but the shadow of depression hangs over this place. it is so hard to draw a clean line between these two worlds, to see this thread in isolation of the surrounding issues.
i have a faint hope that one day OD will resurrect its self, but it is only faint. once it was a strong certainty, but time has warn away at it, and it has slowly dwindled away.
you can see why i don't normally say any of this. however, you my friends deserve an answer. looking at my words i feel that perhaps i should say this in private, and not make public these comments. i am torn over this. respect says don't say this, but that is dishonest.
am i wrong to say this? i don't see how, this is my honest sense of what has happened, and i am entitled to my opinions and feelings, especially when the facts speak for themselves.
feline *feels very close to tears*
feeling pulled away from you, my friends, this *hurts*!
*sigh* i am going to post this. if the powers that be feel it shouldn't be here then it can be removed. hiding from this, ignoring this, that hasn't helped. maybe someone will see this and understand.
for now, i hope that one day things will improve and i will once more feel able to return on a regular basis to you, my friends.

JavaBean, if you see this, i have just re-sent the email, and added more to it. the email is the other half of the above post, the things that i am not going to say in public 
i sent the original version of the email on the 10th June, but never got a reply, hence mentioning it here as well, in the hope of reaching you.
you have been so silent of late, i do hope that you aren't ill! *deep concern for my friend*

awwwwww feline... hang in there. I'm sure things will get better.
for me, nearly everything I touch (or don't) is going wrong. Spooky where I live what with all the arson and peeps jumping and stuffs. Spooky trying to light a fire under my docs so they do something and I feel better. Spooky dealing with sis stuff (still).
And today I ended up getting an antibiotic shot (haven't had a shot like that since I was a baby!). Will be taking an antibiotic for the next week or so. So I think, for a bit, I will hide away in case anything else I touch goes bad....

Can no-one inject new life into this thread ?
I'd lend you a defibrilater but I may need it for England v Portugal tonight. These matches are hard on the heart rate.

Nix the defibrilater - give me a bucket 
I'd use my own - but in anticipation of a need for a boost today - I've filled it with chocolate.
Alternate Setting wonders - what to do with the spare chocolate

Nope, I've been confused. Wait, I'm always confused.... Hmm....
I did find that I can only eat chocolate in this world It's too sweet for my taste buds in real life.
It's been so long since I've been active here.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I really loved hanging out here, of course I was unemployed and had lots of free time.
I think about you folks a lot and I'm sorry I don't get over here as much as I should. Sometimes I just don't have anything to say, other times I just don't know what to say. My 'muse' seems to have deserted me

Same Idea here... I'm back in school and I travel 84miles one way there three times a week. Plus school work and other things going on. I miss the good old days when I had free time.
Erk.

Fuzzy Logic has a FCS (feline confusion system)...
All we have to do is put feline in a straitjacket and blindfolded. We then spin feline around while delivering random spanks or tickles. This way feline will get confused really quickly...
Fuzzy Logic can steal all the chocolate while this is happening, adding to the confusion...

Ahem. SuperDuper Grandmaster Ninja Old Crab found the Chocolate Planet Fantasyland thread near the BOTTOM of the second page. I really do believe it was missplaced somehow from the first page. Ahem. Ahem. Old Crab now has to go and get some fireworks and take a bath due to a run-in with a family of Skunks (Pepe LaPews) cousins.

I still got a small supply of fireworks left. The sad thing is PA sucks with fireworks. Your not allowed to have anything that basically goes bang. Seriously.. They call anything you get that isn't sold in the stores around here illeagel. Which would be any rocket, scrib, some flowers, planes, etc. Anything that isnt' classified as child fireworks are illeagel. What a joke.. O'well, I got stuff that goes bang left from two years ago. Next year I'm taking a trip to Ohio to get more

Fuzzy Logic peeks into the chocolate forest to see who's around...
Hmmm, it's all quiet - I bet they're hiding in the bushes -
Fuzzy Logic *POUNCE!*
No, no-one there. Sigh, guess I'll have to eat all this chocolate myself
