Post by: carmen on February 13, 2010, 01:05:26 PM
Garsh.

Came across charas in google, and I was like" that's the url!"
seriously, that dash throws me off.

But hey all, long time no see. Long time, never see for a lot of you.
Back in Baltimore with my brother again. (you know him)
Been painting a lot recently.

I know while I was here in my mid teenies, I made a lot of enemies and met a lot of cool people,
some of which being the same people. =)

Just checking in, dropping by, to say cool beans that you're still up and running ;)



EDIT: wow, my siggy and avatar are old as jesus's poop. That's two thousand year old poop right there. yeah. :3

Hello there. You joined and left WAY before I joined, but I've seen your posts when I trawl through ancient threads out of boredom.

Well, talk about something unexpected. Thought you and GhostClown left for good long ago. Still the case for the latter, though. Good to see you back, whether it's temporarily or permanently.
May you enjoy your stay or something!

Title: Re: Hai
Post by: carmen on February 16, 2010, 06:21:29 AM
Alright, I need to get something off of my chest.
As many of you know, there was a lot of drama surrounding me and the global moderator, Ghostclown.   And I   was eventually stripped of my modship. (that I worked damn hard for)
There are a few I know hold a deep hatred for me,and I guess I can't blame them. I had(and still have) a pretty big mouth.
I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Sorry for my attitude, sorry for my hard core b*tchness. Being the first girl to obtain mod status was alil intimidating, and I thought I had to be the spunky tough as nails character so people would take me seriously. So they wouldn't walk over me. But I guess it back fired and just caused a lot of fear. People I thought were my friends showed up to puplicly smear me. The community I worked hard in for years was now literally outcasting me. It didn't seem logically thought out or democratic. It was more or less a mob. And while it made for drama filled reading, it really hurt my feelings.
I know I've always come off as a hard nose, and have had trouble expressing myself, but that whole circumstance made me cry. And sucessfully kept me away from these forums for years.
So, Like I said, I'm sorry to all those I came off like a B*tch to.
But I'm not and never will be sorry for my actions. I won't get into details(I could go on for pages) but I did the best job I could. No regrets. Would I change something if I could?...yah, I wouldn't of tried so hard to do my job so well. I would of eased up a bit. That's it.
At the time we were a good 25-30 members active in prime time. There were three active mods. FFL, Myself and GC. The new expanded chat filter system only edited new posts. We had to manually edit all the rest, that we had to search in the DB. (god. never again.lol.) It was a lot of work.
I was going through a lot then. An addiction, my astranged father dying, my mother leaving, my grandmother too poor to pay for the house, school was down the drain, lol, I shoulda had a reality show.
But I had no control over my life.
Title: Re: Hai
Post by: carmen on February 16, 2010, 06:38:52 AM
sorry for the double post. Cell phone txt box couldn't hold anymore. o.o

But yah. I didn't have control. over my life, my addiction, anythingin my life, had to move in with my brother(actually my cousin) here in baltimore, just no control...except this place. And I had the chance to keep it perfect, by the book, exactly by the rules. So I kind of obsessed over it, and got defensive about it. I'm sorry for that too.
and for all those I've insulted ( probably a good few) I didn't really mean it, and you probably didn't deserve the verbal lashing I gave. I honestly hold no hate, or anger or grudges. I can kinda understand a lot of you positions.  I do however: still hold a lot of hurt. I know I act supreme gothic killer B*tch, but I'm not really. (Im wearing bambi pjs and have to sleep with the tv on)  I'm kinda tipsy and I lost track of exactly what I meant. I'm just sick of being hated. I can't front it anymore. GC may not have a problem with it...but its eaten at me for years.

this community has a lot of years on me. Love you all. *cringe* jk =D I do. fer reals.

I recall the name but being the inactive bitch I always was I probably never interacted with you. Welcome back anyways

yeh. chances are we didn't, unless you  requested something in character creators or started trouble . =)
I was pretty busy. 

I do remember you though.  thankya  7hugsd*
Title: Re: Hai
Post by: Archem on February 16, 2010, 07:23:16 AM
You know that one expression about time and wounds? Believe me when I tell you that nobody here is angry with you. Hell, the only things you've been getting since your return are warm welcomes. Look around; people love and respect you. It's good that you're apologizing for past sins; that shows maturity. Just don't beat yourself up about something so long ago. It's ancient history.
Title: Re: Hai
Post by: carmen on February 16, 2010, 07:47:58 AM
Archem! I rememeber you. If I recall, you've stuck your neck out for me a couple times . =)  thanks

and thankyou for ur words, man. I feel so cheessssyy. lol. but a good cheesy. *huggles* maaybee the martinis talking...mayyybeee not. either way thanks =3

Yeah, charas has a short attention span. I wouldn't worry about it. Lots of stuff has happened since then and its silly to overthink theese things.

Very cool. I get a lot of new blood in here with my crappy game reviews.  I'm also working on a huge project right now.

Post by: drenrin2120 on February 16, 2010, 02:32:37 PM
I don't remember too much about the details, I just remember people being mad about your activities as a mod. But, like Archem said, that was so long ago, there's no point in getting upset about it anymore. I'm just glad you're back and we got some more oldies posting around here again! Even if it's only for a short while. :happy:

And also, I don't remember my exact position on the whole thing (I think I flip flopped alot =X) but if ever I offended you or hurt you, I really am sorry. It was never my intention to do that. I know there's no reason or excuse really for any of that but I guess I never imagined words over the internet could hurt someone, not realizing they are words nonetheless.
Title: Re: Hai
Post by: carmen on February 16, 2010, 02:40:10 PM
I dont remember anything specific. So, it's cool, like you said, water under the bridge.

thanks, I guess I am an "oldie"

God did I really register in 2003?
Title: Re: Hai
Post by: fruckert on February 16, 2010, 02:45:31 PM
There's definitely not a lot of people who can say that they've been here for that long.
Pretty remarkable for a website to have run for nearly seven years though, usually a site this small would have died a long time ago.
...
I have no idea where I'm going with this.
God I suck at conversation.

Yeah, Charas has a short attenti- hey that puppy has a fluffy tail! Here fluffy, here *runs after dog in circles*

But srsly, Carmen, I kind of remember some vague things about internet drama, but it was no Raffles, and even Raffles doesn't bother me anymore if I take my pills. Believe me when I say, nobody here holds a grudge, or at least no one worth worrying about.
Title: Re: Hai
Post by: Cerebus on February 16, 2010, 03:29:44 PM
Well I'll be honest, I was probably one of the very few who actually liked you and GhostClown's strict moderation.
But I doubt you remember me since I didn't and still don't post very often. I listen more than I talk. But anyway, yeah, charasians tend to forgive easily, just like when Warxe_PB blew up Forum Gaming, and it's not a bad thing.
Plus, any come-backer are always appreciated. Well, some exceptions, of course, but you aren't one of them.

So again, welcome back and all, yeah!
Title: Re: Hai
Post by: Darkfox on February 16, 2010, 05:05:36 PM
Heh... no worries, then again I supported your actions. XD But yeah... I'm not mad at you or anything, just sad that you left and stuff.

There are a few I know hold a deep hatred for me,and I guess I can't blame them.

Held, maybe, but definitely not still holding. All far far in the past. That period was intense for all of us. I don't think anyone expected Alex to just up and abandon the site and leave the scattered lot of us to try to keep things running smoothly at its prime when there were all sorts of troll problems going on. I had members yelling at me that mods were too strict, and mods yelling at me that I wasn't supporting them and should resign, and all I had were admin powers that were supposed to be honorary at best. I do apologize for what went down at the end. I never wanted to drive you away, just change some of the policies people were complaining about, but obviously THAT got way out of control.

In any event, though I'm still here most days, I'm a pretty lazy bastage now so you shouldn't have too much trouble with me. ;) Welcome home, for as long as you want to stay.

But as much as you may have changed over the years, I guarantee I've changed too.
