Post by Leesa on Jan 11th, 2005, 2:33pm
that when you think things are alright with world a few come and try to take over? It just chaps my ass when that happens. Folks whom have only been here a short time think they own the place all of a sudden. And the old times start to drop like flys! >:( And we wonder why??  ::) Not every post needs to be responded to. Sometimes silence is golden! Leaned that over the last 4 yrs. Den once said "take what ya need and leave the rest." Oh for those of you who are new here Den is an "old timer" BTW  ;;D
Leesa, whos gettin off the soap box now. LOL ;;D

Own the place??

This is a Message Board

Old timers dropping like flies?

Because of new people posting? I highly doubt it.

Maybe the reason people stop coming here has more to do with life outside CH.com and as I have seen in the last month there have been people that have deleted profiles by accident and/or felt overwhelmed in other areas of their lives and felt this was the only thing they could "delete"!  Get over it - everything in this life is not CH, believe it or not!  I am not downgrading the pain we feel by having CH, but personally, I have other things going on that I need to deal with as well.

Sorry you have lost friends here Lee Lee... but how come I have never left for longer than a few days...((( or actually for Lent once which is 40 days and everyone knew I was coming back)))
I've learned lately in this really sad lately life of mine that this life is also too short.  Why is it that I am here everyday and don't notice all the turmoil that seems to be going on behind the scenes... sheesh~~ Well if you want to fill me in. But my attitude has changed with the Tsunami and Mudslides and War happening... someone leaving the board isnt on the top of my list.

Ever notice....????

As soon as the smoke clears from the last big explosion, someone pulls the pin on another grenade?

I'm not flaming anyone but can't we just co-exist here?

I have seen a lot of new people who post a lot. That's what the new people do to get aqquainted with others.

I've seen a lot of old timers post a lot too. That's what they do to stay in touch.

Some lurk and keep silent to post only when they feel a need to.

Everyone has their own way of using this message board.

I don't own this place and I wouldn't want to. I feel sorry for DJ having to see all of the fighting and crap that goes on here every day.

The old timers aren't dropping. They're here still. They are mostly the ones who lurk and don't bother any one.

I personally like to stay in touch with the other people here and I do that by posting and replying to other peoples posts.

I've never met anyone from this message board but I feel like I've known some of you my whole life because you post a lot and I read a lot.

Post by PrettyH8Machine on Jan 11th, 2005, 3:36pm
You're right Leesa though some old timers tend to become lurkers. Never posting, just reading. Some people get busy, some get overwhelmed. Some go through mid life crisis, some get a haircut. I'm choosing to have my mid life crisis early just to get it out of the way.

I've been here going on 6 years now. I don't plan on leaving for awhile either. Love you guys too much.

Besides, Frank's writings inspire me, I love the pics from Vig, Svenn, DD, Lobster, E-D, oh and Don sucks.  ;;D

would you rather have happen what happened to Es site... no one posts there.  I post alot... call me guilty but sometimes I post to everyone because I made an enemy once without trying to by not posting to someones post when they were in need... I vowed then I would try to notice everyone.  Who are you talking about Leesa...? I for one tried to see what you were talking about and looked at every post to see who it is that posts to everyone............IS IT ME?  I'm not new?  

When you guys figure out the rules on who can post and when let me know... ree signing out... this thread sure fucked up my good mood...  yes Ree said FUCK

Here's my take, if you don't like it, blow me.  Or if you want some, come get some.  It's not like High School at all, it's like your neighborhood bar.  You have your regulars, and not all of them get along, so they sit at different ends of the bar.  Some folks meet their buddies there after work to talk, and drink.  Some are there to bum cigarettes and drink water.  Some are there to get the latest gossip, or share jokes and stories, some go to tell thier friends about their kids who are away in college or in the service.  Some go just to get drunk on cold beer, and they know the bartender knows their brand.  Regardless, you have different people come and go.  The bar is small, so you can overhear other conversations, besides what is being said at your table.  I'm not saying anybody doesn't have the right to come in, I mean, hey we are all here to drink, right?  But if I'm not interested in what you are talking about, I'll just go to the pisser and sit somewhere else, on the way back.

Post by Ree on Jan 11th, 2005, 6:35pm
This Old Timer is ready to join the gym !!!! I like everyone here and just don't get it... Who do you have to be to kid around.  There have been alot of threads that I don't post to because they are too silly or whatever... But I have to say alot of the Old Timers goof around too... It doesnt matter who we are.  We have hearts souls and wear skin under our clothes.  Everyone with Cluster and someone with Cluster has the right to post here~~~ Someone else should have "Taken what she needed and left the rest today".  All of you others that say you don't come here anymore because of this and that... what do you accomplish by that.  Seriously... if you don't like it here, change things.  You still lurk because you need to be here, because of this horrible affliction. Start new threads about a topic you want to post to.  About things you need support in.
Things you dream about.  About CH... This is the general board. General to me means EVERYTHING...
 I honesly don't know what I would have done if I didn't have all of you as friends over the past 2 yearswhile my kids are deployed.  Only 10-12 weeks of that time Dave suffered thats it... Everyone has supported me here and my family. New people, old people and politically indifferent people, while my kids were away.  
 I have seen changes in this board because YES those of us that are here everyday really notice what happens here. What I notice is that some of the OLD Timers... think they are more special because of TIME spent here.  Who cares how long it took you to get here.  We are a family with a common link in life.
 Maybe I SHOULD join a gym, vent my issues elsewhere, Deal with Daves headaches elsewhere.
Support others elsewhere. Maybe this should be a ghost town too. That's what will happen if we start bitching about threads we don't like. I think DJ made up these pages on the MB to get people to post, To come together and feel alike. Not to separate ourselves in categories of "New and Old".........
The world is ending around us and no one here even notices.  I pray for you all.  Ree

I have had so much support and help from here. I don't know how I would have coped without this site and the wonderful people on it.
Now I want to give something back and if I can ease one persons load then .. then I'm grateful for being allowed to pay forward.
I wouldn't be able to say this without the old timers who have been here and made this board what it is.
I wouldn't be able to say this without the support and compassion of the people who have joined either before me or after me or have yet to come.
We are a large and diverse group and it is inevitable we won't all like everyone but we just have to live and let live. If someone isn't hurting anyone but helping someone that is enough for me whether I personally like them or not.
I've had my share of help, now I want to be able to help others and if I can laugh and enjoy myself on the way then even better.

I can't even read 1/2 an iota of all the posts here. A couple daily quick reads...and I'm off.

Seems ya got new folks establishing relationships...that's always a good thang.

I got my Clusterbabe here, got her knocked up ... found some "flashy" answers (decode that) ...and I just don't dance on the keyboard the way I used to.

Seems by the time I see a cry for help...a few regulars have already jumped in with proper advice. I talk to my Higher Power about the vibe/prayer requests ...butt seldom write about it.

we have been busy...www.letmeshine.net....G has 3 months left of baby farming...I still pick my nose.

...and my old sayin stands...I still have to read it everyday..."take what ya need..."

...and my new saying is...."NOT everything happens for a reason"...Drummer might like that.

Post by Ueli on Jan 12th, 2005, 12:46am
I wholeheartedly agree with Leesa. When I met her in Atlanta 2001 there were about 50 more clusterbuds. But most of them dropped out of sight or post only once in a few month. That's because Den's saying of "Take what ya need and leave the rest" is no longer of much use. The cake got bloated with so much hot air that it is hard to find the few raisins left.  

It's not "Because of new people posting", but because a few new people finally found their much deserved audience (they think). They start posting at a rate of 10-15 posts per day (and at least one does so since 6/6/04) and if they have nothing else to say, it's at least a "me too". Some leave their "droppings" in every post, just to reach the magic 1000-post-mark in a month or less (you know who you are). Just in order to make it harder to find what "to take" the master sucker left a dozen "funny" lines in a dozen posts in this thread alone; but I doubt that he provoked a total of a dozen smiles.

It is no longer possible to watch the river flow (polluted or not). The river has grown to raging torrent, a flash deluge, that threatens to wash all common sense to the sea. All what will be left (besides the me2, me3, me4,...) are some uneducated guesses how to treat our affliction, because the more educated "oldies" will run for dry ground, leaving behind this swamp of platitude.
 
Don, nani, I'm waiting for your replies. I'm sure you can't take a criticism without a rebuttal, clever or not, funny or not. :(

You just can't fight Mother nature. Can we please stop with all this touchy-feely crap, and get back to a good bloodletting? Darwin needs to slake his thirst.

It's been months.....

I don't post much and the content in this thread is exactly the reason why I don't.  

First of all, I love just about everyone here.  I've gained info, support, and smiles from just about everyone and I drove two hours to meet a few of you too and I wouldn't trade that for the world.....BUT

When I first logged on I figured there must be do's and don'ts of the board and I thought I'd keep quiet until I figured out proper MB etiquette.  I even asked a few people here what might be considered taboo and what's appropriate.  The only advice I was given was Den's famous phrase so that's what I've done.....But, ah HA!! Just as I suspected, some of you DO have rules that if not followed require a response.

If I post a bunch, the Old timers won't like me because I like to hear myself type, if I don't post at all, you all probably won't think I'm a good supporter and think I don't care about you.  This newbie feels he is damned if he does or doesn't.  

Observation, no slam, just fact:  Frank (who I happen to like, and some don't) posts at a rate of about 14 per day, that's why some people are able to get to know him, size him up, and pass whatever judgement they see fit.  And our own King, Jonny, has posted at a rate of about 11 per day, which is how we are able to get to know him, size him up, and also pass judgement.  My opinion on both of them is sometimes their posts are relevent and some times not, but they are both good supporters.  That's how I was able to formulate my opinion on both of them.

Question, Can someone who agrees with Leesa and ueli please explain to me what makes someone like Jonny "right" and someone like Jeep, for example, "wrong"?  

Love you all,

K9 (Chuck)

P.S. Still haven't had a cigarette in 2005!!!  Yeah me!!!

I think we need one of these to show up to bring the family back together again.

Helps us to remember that no matter how much we fight amongst ourselves, when someone messes with us, we are STILL FAMILY!!  Seems we have forgotten that fact a little to many times here lately.  

I'm going to tell y'all like my mama told me....

"Y'all hush up and quit fighting or I'm gonna make y'all kiss each other!  In front of your friends!"

Congrats on the no ciggs,  Chuck! Way to GO!!!

Post allot or don't post
Read allot or don't read.
  It doesn't matter who it is or how long you've been here as long as people that need help get help.
  Even the most challenged can find good advice within the polluted river.  Its unfortunate that the intUelictuals are having so much trouble.

1. Pay attention to what you've learned. Then make sure and pass on the salient points.
2. Say what's needed to pass on info. Don't over do it.
3. Take what you've learned, pick yourself up by your own damned bootstraps, and get back into the game of Life. Tell somebody else how to do it.
4. Repeat as needed.

I don't usually do this but here goes.

If newbie and veteran did not matter why would DJ have that feature showing how long people had been on the board. I am sure he is capable of taking that feature off.
This is where I think it matters. If I were a new person coming to the board looking for advice on doctors meds etc. I would be far more inclinded to take the advice of someone has been around a long time than someone who has had a couple of posts.
But as far a general support goes, we are all invaluable.

Ok I'm off to contemplate my navel now

Congratulations to Den & Georgia.

*passing a few pieces of popcorn to Gator*  ;;D

Congratulations on quitting smoking, Chuck! Keep it up! After 72 hours, it's all mental. Hang in there, and protect your quit. You've worked hard for it.



As for the rest of this topic, I suppose I could understand people getting hacked off if all of these posts were taking place on the Cluster Headache Specific board, or the OUCH board, and were entirely off-topic and out of place. This, to me, would be a violation of Internet etiquette, but as CH sufferers/supporters in the General Section, I'm afraid I don't understand why people are getting bent out of shape. I also don't understand why "old-timers" get bent out of shape and decide to leave when new people post.

The thing that would cause me to finally leave this board, is the constant bickering, drama, and fighting. There's no good reason for it, and it benefits no one. When it's all said and done, all it does is leave hard feelings and leaves people feeling unwelcome, in the ONE place on the entire Internet, where clusterheads SHOULD feel welcome. In any case, if/when I decide to leave, it will be MY responsibility for MY actions, and I won't be placing the blame on people that the blame does not belong to.

For those "old-timers" that decide to blame the new people: Grow up, take responsibility for your own actions, and post if you want. Don't post if you don't. But don't blame other people for your personal decisions and actions. That's a cop-out, and as long-time members of this board, you should be glad that others are finding this board and getting help and support.

Who cares how long any of us has been here? We all suffer from the same condition, and we're all in this together. If I hear, "Pick up an oar and start rowing," one more time, I'm going to scream. Maybe it should be, "Pick up an oar and start rowing if you're one of the venerable old-timers, otherwise, your help isn't wanted or needed, and you have nothing of value to offer because you just don't have seniority, so go sit in the corner and STFU, N00B!"

WTF!  >:( [smiley=mad.gif]

I cannot agree with you more, Frank... I am kind of paranoid to post now knowing that Ueli counts posts and has his own statistical idea of how people should post... What I see the problem is that someone "Popular" who doesn't like someone "New" for whatever reason started this thread for some reason or another and then HIGH TAILED IT OUT OF HERE... after all there are certain persons that like this kind of thing...live for the arguments and discontent here.  I for one have enough of that in my life right now... You guys are on your own... this is my last post to this thread.  If anyone has anything to say to me they can take it to email... Ree16angel@aol.com I'm taking a break from this place... I have never felt like leaving like I do now.  The time away from my family that I spend here is way too much to have nothing accomplished here.  I thought we were ALL friends and I was so wrong... Naive me... I am not deleting my membership but lets just say Im taking early LENT... Like my boys say... "I'll see ya when I see ya"   Ree

Sometimes I post 20 times in one day.

Post #984 was kinda weak EEB, you post wh0re.  ;;D

Well... some good can come out of this thread... enjoy....

More troubling than post counts and all the other nonsense is the lack of 'CH.com Alumnus' tags on 100+ post members.

SHAME SHAME SHAME

All these 'regulars', but so very few kind enough to help foot the bill for this site.  Scroll your chatty ass to the bottom of this page and hit the 'PayPal Donate' button.  

Much as I have succeeded in stemming the tide of profile deletions (pat pat pat), my new mission is to make the lack of a 'CH.com Alumnus' tag a badge of dishonor.  

If you spend an hour or two on the site everyday, pull out your wallet and toss DJ some bucks.
Here is a guideline:
1.  Do the math to figure out how many posts you make per week.
2A.  Send that amount in $$$ to DJ via the PayPal link at the bottom of every page.  [smiley=thumb.gif]
-or-
2B. Punch yourself in the nuts, and be kind enough to limit your posts to occasional questions.   [smiley=pokeeye.gif]

No need to reply 'I am broke'... we know who those select few folk are.  

Do the non-Alumnus know of the 'Alumnus Only' board?  Can you even see that board when you are in parasite mode?  If not... it looks like this...
'CH.com Alumni
Thank You CH.com Alumni!
Explanation of "CH.com Alumnus"...
Moderator: DJ'

That is the place where we talk about you.

Thanks for your time.  Help DJ out!  Or do the 'punch in the nuts' thing.  Your choice.  

/preemptive response to whining replies... go fuck yourself

Everyone has a place here. New or Old. Messageboards evolve, change doesn't have to be a bad thing. :)

I just joined CH and I think the support here is amazing. I felt so desperate last night to find out what was going on with my head. I got a quick reply and I can't tell you how much it helped me.

Each and everyone of you are an important intricate,  part of this messageboard. There is one thing we ALL can relate on. CH.

Hope you dont mind a brand new "newbie" giving some first impressions. I think this place is a "godsend" and one big survival kit.
