Is the Org as friendly as it used to be? New Orgers, people leaving, friends drifting apart, or you think new people, new friends, its as good as ever?
What are your thoughts? Please dont send to org site discussion - nobody goes there, and I specifically wanna ask the GD peeps! | |

Was it ever genuinely friendly? Most of the so-called "friendly" comments on here are the result of cliques defending its members, asskissing, people trying to get into each other's pants and plain old fear of conflict. There are moments of true friendliness though, in which cases it's very touching. But those moments are quite rare. | |

The org is a strange organinic thing on the web. People come People go. I think it's all cyclical and ever changing.
Although I find it difficult to really make friends and keep up with all the alter egos etc, it still seems the same for me. Of course if certain orgers were to leave, I'd prolly not tick around. But then again, I'm running into all kinds of different people still. My LOST & Madonna threads have befriended me to some that I didn't know before. See and even here. I normally don't pop onto your threads (not sure why...it's not you though) but I see you every day during the week and know that that's just another part of the org. And with that said...HELLO!

I don't know about cliques. I know I respond to certain individuals here, and it is because I feel I know their humour etc. If I see a name I don't know, I watch them for a while to see what they are like - I am a bit shy that way. Same in real life. I don't tend to gush over strangers, or even those I think I know. | |

Well for me it is different as I have made it real and tangible...therefore I suppose it is exactly what you make it as is anything else...is it not? I find it deeper and more viable then not....
This year beyond the many real moments I have seen baby showers and fire showers and utter kindness and realism beyond general net.... There will always be mockers and fools of various unkindness...( it comes from their personal suffering and inability to come forth and relate in a vulnerable way) ((one hopes for a break in the pattern))but that is relative and life itself..what I have seen is courage to reach beyond that and not be stymied into silence.... for me that is the end all be all.... | |

Rare? I don't find them that rare. I think there are many people on here that do like each other and have had a history on here for several years. Yes, it is sort of how you say, I'll grant you that. But there is a lot of wonderfulness going on here. If you go to an invasion...all of what you thought this place is about changes. Maybe the reason you find it rare is a reflection of how you are on the org. I wouldn't know one way or another as we don't converse that much. Jus Sayin tho.. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

I really agree with this. I don't find myself part of any "clique". I click with those I like and understand. And so what if I missed the joke on Pudding. So be it. I do know what pen0r is...and if you missed that then one might think it was a cliquy thing, but it's just a joke on a thread...and if you were a part of it or online and saw that thread...you understand.Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Actually, for me these moments are occurruing more & more! I have established friendly relationships with several people here, re-actively as well as pro-actively. Several of them I've met in real life, others online.....I value all! Good things have happened, coming from unexpected corners, the bad things never manage to leave an impression on me ( ). Like I said, met some real good people and will meet more very soon. Last night I got home late from a weekend of traveling, logged on and received some notes. One of them was from Dawntreader who lives just around the corner from me but we haven't met yet. He askes whether I'd like to join him for the pre-premiere of 'Munich' tomorrow-night.....I mean, stuff like that, as well as other stuff....that's what's keeping me coming back! This place is a bit special, it took me a while to find out!
And also, some relations here which are totally online due to geographics, they're valuable to me, as I know that someday..... | |

Reply to 'Is the Org as friendly as it used to be?'
I think it's as same as it ever was. Random emotions everywhere. People of all type's, growing and showing. Putting life into words. | |

 i think it's gotten friendlier! especially for me after starting the Naked Orgers Club. 
actually, i have only recently begun to develop some real friendships here on the org, so very literally it's friendlier. | |

well red, you caught me on one of those days 
this place... what can ya say ??? its a place where common interests have brought us together, but bonds have been formed and friendships have been made that are often times stronger than one could ever imagine.... this place is one of happiness, laughter, jokes, and peace... although we have our disagreements now and then, who doesnt ? for the most part, i cannot imagine my life without having found this place.... you all have taught me to appreciate folks from all corners of the world, see beauty in things i have not seen before, find comfort in times where comfort is needed, given me a shoulder to cry on when i needed it most, taught me to type (god knows i have to try to keep up with you folks ), given me lasting friendships that i will cherish for years to come, and generally, i've had a blast
i am so thankful to the org as a whole. today is a day that i will remember for so long to come, i have carried a smile with me all day.... and that my friends is all due to each and every one of you !  thank you guys
 One of the best days of my life... http://prince.org/msg/100/291111

If you actually go to invasions or have meetings on your own with orgers then yes for those who do that it is friendly and rewarding....But if you are initially starting here (not just a old orger new account) then no it is not friendly IMO....
To be honest the only way it is friendly is to talk to a group that has something in common with you. It's not a "generally friendly community" type of place...But if you share the same interest or preference as some of those here then it's friendly....if you don't your assed out. clever clever quotation - attention getting quote - sad yet witty remark - look at me! Im deep quote- song lyric about my ex cause that bitch stole my mp3 player! - line from movie I liked - Prince lyric - not very clever sig mocking other sigs | |
