you might stay cuz that site sucks ass.

gawd. i went to the groups to see what it was like.....dayum. tha'ts horrible. no wonder you all (well, not all) had such a tough adjustment. 2 pages of one line posts, 'lol's', 'you suck's, and not much content.

stay because the cellar is much much better, not just to piss off maggie.

i'm glad whip is staying, too.

what about the rest of you? did you miss ag, or does it look lame now in contrast?

i'm playing lj. i will stay because i like it here. ;)

its warm in here and theres not many leeches

You're assuming you were never on it. :-)
I'll never tell...

I assumed correctly.

"she loves me... she REALLY loves me!" :heartpump :joylove:

I wouldn't feel I had to go in to all this if my privacy had been respected by agers but that has never been the case.
I unverified all my names a year ago.

Bait and be baited was a hard habit to put down. I liked some agers but most I couldn't understand. I am sorry for that. I am not sorry to leave all the hacking, lying and smearing gossip which they are obviously not able to let go of still. weird.

I wanted a forum to have a fun and play. I place that used mutual respect without all this residual tension. I thought this place seemed to be respectful enough to it's members. I appologize again for it spilling over here. It didn't have to.


I am wondering who after a year of being gone is still obsessed enough with me to care who skysidhe was. ?????? As if revealing a user who left AG for the kind of things AG is infamous for might rub off here. My baaaad reputation. lol
I asked one person point blank aready how they knew with no answer as yet.

I am not upset about it. It's the usual for AG. Id just like to know who.

I was told that soundchain is where most of the agers fled. http://www.soundchain.com/index.php?...age=5&mbpage=7


@ Lumberjim. LAME!!!!!!! No contrast needed. I can just see how dysfunctional it was of me to try to bash sense into some peoples heads. Well you saw the level of communication. How embarrassing .:redface: ........... Lots of the funny cool people left with the music. I should have been smarter and left much sooner.
So some are back home huh? Oh look at what I'm missing. http://www.audiogalaxy.com/pages/mes...um&contextID=2

This idea of all people "from" a certain website acting in a collective fashion is disturbing. We might as well say all people of a certain ethnicity/religion/gender exhibit a particular negative/positive behavior. People are people (and yes, I am quoting Depeche Mode). No matter where you go, everyone has their own individual agenda. That's true here, there, and everywhere (and yes, I am quoting The Beatles).

I like both sites. Diversity of interaction encourages growth. I'll probably be posting "here" more than "there" - so get your ignore buttons warmed up if you don't like to think.

sky, this along with a photo of yourself on your profile says: Hey, look at me!

Had you not slagged off all of ag, no one would have noticed you. No one is coming at you like they were on ag (i was unverified myself at the time), you are the one consistantly making yourself known as an "AG'er". Perhaps stop slagging ag off and you will melt into the pot in which you so desire.

No, you might as well say that people with a different culture have different cultural assumptions. Which is true.

@Happy Monkey: I value the individual.

Of course. So what?

I don't like "lumping" - I value the individual. That was my point.

All the above aside, it's pretty well accepted, and proven, that individuals, who may well in normal circumstances have differences and take odds with each other within their own 'society', when faced with a common cause will forget their differences and present a united front. Nothing disturbing in that - more disturbing if it was not then case.

This 'united front' is most commonly illustrated in times of war and aggression, and a less fatal example would be the way the unusual arrival (onslaught?) of the AG dwellars was countered by the members of the Cellar -you could almost in those early days describe two distinct and opposing camps and cultures - it was easy to generalise. With time the individual personalities revealed themselves and the generalisation of two distinct camps mellowed - individual views and arguments now blur and dilute the first impression of there being two separate and opposing sets of people (perhaps they could have been described as two different societies...).

So, we are all individuals who share certain ideals (our society). We don't generally feel the need to broadcast what our ideals are, we more or less take them as read and for granted by virtue of the type of people we prefer to mix with (mostly sharing simliar views and interests but capable of debating and arguing in those areas where there are differences). But if we are tested or threatened then we will certainly band together to protect our common ideals and the things we hold dear.i

Of course. But individuals distinguish themselves by how they react when moving from one set of cultural expectations to another. When all the AG people came over, they all acted in a certain way. Not because they weren't individuals, but because that's what they were used to.
Yes, it was. Luckily, that phase is mostly over now, save for a bit of "oh, I'm so persecuted because I'm diverse and make people think and they don't like to think so they pick on me". Hopefully, that will eventually pass as well.

The irony, in this thread, is that I brought up website culture in reply to a former AGer who apparently had trouble fitting in at AudioGalaxy (according tho their own words - I had no idea that this was their perception). SO, the perpetuation of the subject was due to an exchange between two individuals "from" the same website.
