Philosophy of this forum?
I was wondering how regulars and old hands would define the philosophy of this forum? People seem pretty kind to others which is very nice, not much in the way of arguments and nastiness which is so prevalent elsewhere on the Internet. Seems quite US-centric, but I suppose it is basically a US forum so duh. Beyond that what other vibe would you say it has?
We try to fight without bloodshed however bruises are sometimes unavoidable. Lots of empathy for true misfortune and real struggles, rather than wasting it on accidently tripped triggers.
Have to tiptoe around 911 though, many here have spoken of losses on that day.
you bastard, I lost my marbles on 9/11

Regularly wash your old hands of it and you won't catch the vibe.
We have lots of eclectic advice to give.
There used to be a bye-line (can't see where it's go to) which said "A regular corner coffee shop with no coffee and no shop" which seemed to sum it up for me.
Best place on the 'net, frankly. Thanks UT.
What Limey said. And thanks UT.
We got all the flame wars out of our system. This is a peaceful period in cellar history.
Come at me bro

The Cellar: the original neighborhood coffee shop, with no coffee and no shop. The Cellar: Is it d-d-destiny, d-destiny... Or is it just a game in my mind, Corona? Welcome to The Cellar, one of the longest-running communities on the Internet.
Google's cacheIt's, like, real people. Do it just like that.
And keep it hermetically sealed from social media, I almost got my balls chopped off for mentioning the other place.

See what I mean... tragic, gut-wrenching, and there are many more.
I don't think many people know how difficult it's been at times for UT to keep the lights on, but he did it and we win.
He deserves to get the girl and do the happily ever after. Thanks man. :notworthy

Hehe glad to hear it. Hopefully the rest of the interwebs will follow suite in the fullness of time.

This is no ordinary forum. It's got huge pointy teeth.....
But really, it's a family. We actually bought a car for a guy that had a real need. Be a real person and you get treated like one. No joke.
Love you guise
^ he fails to mention the car was his idea and he organized the whole thing, bless his huge cotton socks
Pretty much don't be a massive knob.
Yeah - we had few flame war periods - lost good people from the forum through them - they have been fairly rare all things considered.
the Cellar is home - it's where I always return to even if I have been away for a bit.
Oh and yeah : basic philosophy is don't be a dick. Or if you are being a dick, don't be a twat about it ...
Leaving the philosophy aside, US Dwellars have yet to arise from their slumbers.
We could engineer a UK takeover if we're quick. ;)

you had *one* job monster, ONE job... and now, you have another. The pay sucks, the boss is mercurial, but hey, at least you get to work from home. wink wink nudge nudge my merry coworker.

Thanks for the advice. I will try not to be a dick.

That's all anyone can do.
Kinda interesting thread on the Cellar philosophy...A member directed me here and after a while I joined. The OP of this thread said "no nastiness etc" and I can't believe how awful rude and a lot of vulgarness a couple members directed toward me...Hard to believe what I read from a couple members..
And wonder are there any Women who are members....it seems to be a guys club as I see it so far. Thanks for any comments.
There are several regular posters who are women. You just haven't taken the time to get to know anyone here (yet?), so you haven't figured out who they are. Hint: you've already interacted with several, you just assumed wrongly that they were men.
You might also be interested to know that the core regulars here read pretty much every post on every thread, so we've all read a dozen or more times now about your age, your health problems, etc. Might be time to consider yourself fully introduced, and start to get to know others?
If you stick around and read for comprehension, the answers you look for will become clear.
I'm sorry you're offended. I've asked you some questions, but some of your (non) responses don't align with what I believe and feel is important. But the offense to be taken is mine--and I don't. You can be offended if you like, but it's a choice you will be making.
Side note--as a new member, your posts are kind of alllll over the place. "Replying" to someone's post from three years ago, makes it look like you're not paying attention, even if you are new. Stay if you like, go if you don't. Treat the people here like you would an interesting stranger in a coffee shop. And if you don't like that person, move to the other side of the coffee shop, there are people over there, too.
That dude Clodfobble is a hunka hunka burnin' love.
A petite flower like me wouldn't stand a chance.

Well thanks, how much does a new person NEED to absorb in their first few days here? And the vulgar language, hard to be believe from a woman, but maybe they are women truckers....
And why does one have to read EVERYTHING, there is just so much that interests me. I've spent time on Heath group and trying to get games going but pretty quiet from members....

I've been so attacked with UGLY language that I fear posting just about the stuff I do post....being kind and gentle is not something I've seen so far. Been on this earth 82 yrs and NEVER such language thrown at me. I asked one member if they treat their mother and women in their life the same way? No reply on that one. thanks...

You are incredibly sexist.
Your "games" are mindless drivel. Some like that. Many do not. You think dwellars should participate to humor you? If you had researched you would have noticed that only two or three participate in similar such threads already here..... and they have already responded to yours.
You don't have to read everything -but you don't read enough. If you did, you wouldn't have misunderstood Mr. Fobble so badly. He was saying that many DO read everything, so there is no need for you to keep repeating yourself. We get it. We are not as stupid as you apparently believe. We are just (in the main) not interested. Those who are, will respond.
You come onto a new forum with your holier-than-thou attitude splatter-posting and then start complaining that we're not the forum you want us to be? You Merkins don't even understand "vulgar" /WWIIflashback. No-one is making you use "vulgar" language. If you don't want to read it.....
If you had taken the time to get to know us before wading in you would have realized what a diverse forum we are (except possibly in race, to our detriment) -age, gender, politics, geographic location.......
There is one way in which you fit in perfectly, though. You think everything is/should be about you. Like most of the rest of us.

I like this better than the "peeing in a liquor store" gag. Gonna post some pictures of myself at the gym later, to inspire everyone with my sick gains.
wait! Mr. Todd Throbble, I don't have my tickets to the gun show

Thanks Monster, more kindness....well the games and all will be gone Dec 31....so hope that pleases you.
And I see the Games are just too light and fun for the angry crowd here...
Jaminhealth you seem to be gleeful that the cellar is closing down.

I get a little of that vibe too. Sad.
All good things must come to an end, and it's the same with the [strike]wildwood weed[/strike] Cellar.
I guess...:sadpace:
Just thinking how the Cellar got it's name...How did it?????
Growing up in the East I know about Cellars, dark, damp, dank places that one does not go to unless they really have to...wash clothes, hang on lines, stoking the furnace and adding coal to it, my early life with furnaces... thinking about my life with Cellars....
I came up with a new name for Cellar but I'll not mention it.....

I have a nice friend who directed me here and there are good subjects here BUT, I don't need to continue to be attacked, so backing off BIG TIME.

Being likeable is a survival skill.
You're almost dead
Believe me I have felt like I didnt wanna be here anymore on this hell hole for months now....... I dont like how mean people are.......
I'm not 'people'
I'm one guy speaking only for himself here.

No one else. Just me.
You and your 82 year old lover can go piss up a rope.
