mmmm Caitlin :smoke1: In my best "Mike Myers" voice She will be mine, oh yes she will be. Okay anyways I'll get back to reality and the topic here. I dont believe this board or others like it(i.e LoungeX in the past) were created with the purpose of being used as a tool to further ones respect or popularity ... That is the one thing that this culture and our community isnt really about....Myself I already have a great deal of respect for each and every person on this board, you dont need to gain or earn that for me. I may not know even half of you, but from past experiences I always have witnessed, and been a part of strangers, from message boards like this one, showing mutual respect for one another. Not based on how many pictures you have in your gallery with your boobs taped up or even how popular of a DJ you are.. But on the common ground we all share, and that is simply being and enjoying yourself within this community. There is no need to gain respect here..you already have it. |

Oh c'mon this is so simple.
First off you: A. Get a good looking avatar pic of yourself up ASAP, if you change it like once a week you get extra brownie points. B. Give props. Give lots of props, hell even if you aren't going to their party a "Nice line up" or "Should be a good night" will deff elevate you in the FnK elite status quo. C. Aquire a group of online friends that you "Shout out" to on the board on a regular basis. Nothing can make you cooler than having 4 or more people on the same day asking for you and what debauchery you will be up for in the coming hour/day/weekend. D. Stay away from controversial conversations. The worst thing you can do is tarnish your well earned (and by now respected) ego with some actual substance. You'll be better off staying on the page of small talk and agreeing with everyone then letting your true opinion be known. That or you can pretend to have substance and be a bleeding heart. An "oh I'm so sorry I hope you feel better" reply to someone having their leg amputated will make the bitches think your deep. Don't forget the smilies :hehe:! So yeah, follow these simple rules and you too can enjoy the many splendors that comes with raving it up with the cool kids. PS If you're ugly, die. |

Respect, is a funny thing. It’s something that is easier attainable the first time, but can be impossible to get back when lost.
A little story. There used to be a nooby raver who’d go to a party, pop a cap or two, dance the night away and meet a bunch of great new people. “Wow, I’m having a blast, this is great”, he’d think to himself. That nooby raver boy met such a diverse interesting, bunch of people, not to mention all the fun he was having with these new party drugs, he started partying more and more. The only thing was, that nooby raver boy lost sight of what it was to party – to go out and dance the night away having a blast; love for the music, to meet interesting people. He started spending days on end after a party doing drugs, keeping the party alive, losing sight of reality. He had started to go down a dark and potentially harmful path. It wasn’t long before nooby raver boy was dealing drugs to supply his habbit, pushing away his friends, family, and people he cared about. What for? a fix, a high that would push all of lifes problems to the side for a couple more hours. Not only that, but he started losing weight, and worse, the respect of his peers who would only see him high and fucked up. Him being high, was ignorant to all this. Oblivious to the joke that his peers were in on. Sure enough, after being out there every weekend doing drugs, flailing, no longer dancing, people started distancing themselves with the constantly high, mostly intelligible nooby raver, sitting their, eyes rolling into the back of his head, what a joke. He had acted irresponsibly, and doing so, had lost the respect of his peers, family, and friends. It was then, nooby raver boy, realized he was all alone, that he was running away from issues. But still, the respect was gone, dignity to. What was earned so freely before will never be quite the way it was, a small piece will be gone forever. Everyone has choices and responsibilities. While I couldn’t tell you how to gain respect from anyone, that differs from situation to each and every situation. I can tell you the people who have my respect, Jay, Jay, Josh, Sean, Myles, Winston, and so many more, who have walked that path of drugs, have recognized the need and worth of moderation. That doesn’t mean they havn’t slipped up, no ones perfect, but for the time and length these people have partied, and in the short time I’ve known these people, to have walked this far and to be the people they are now….wow, seriously. anywho. my rants finished. Have a nice day people |

^Whatever that was gay. Goat you should read "The Crystal Children". It's an underground raver's chronicle of how it was to be a jib head in the beginings of the rave scene in Vancity (early 90s I believe). It's kinda a hybrid of what you wrote and the movie/book "trainspotting", except it actually happened.
It's kinda hard to find though, but keep your eyes peeled if you want in on some real drama. |

MMmm this si goign to hit me sorta close to home but i dont really care
I used to think that it was posting stuff that you thoght was fun, but back in 99 i used to get harshed flamed by that on LX and ED and the other sites out there. I finally came over to FnK when Peter ( Ricey) pressured me into signing up. Little did i know that many others had registered on the other sites and still got a kick outta buggin me. Over the years they have gone away as i made better posts and put more time into them. Thinking about what i was saying and how others would react to them. But latly i am just posting crap. I really dont think that people i dont know really want to get to know me from just reading what i post. So i have been posting stuff like why do you flail and other useless posts. Latly i have been getting alot of requests for my pictures taht i have been taking starting with IMF. Taking somewhere from 100-200 pics a party does get a little time comsuming resizing and whatever. but i digress. To really earn the respect of the pople of FnK. Talk to them. Not when you sketchy or try to hang out with them. Be yourself and just remember ITS JUST A MESSAGE BOARD have fun everyone and hope that you all havea good time <3 |
