Well the title line says it all, because I just whent through a complete load of fucking unadulterated bullshit over at for the people.com. Well to make a long story short I thought I'd go over there just for the hell of it to see what was going on there, and the minute I go into one of the rooms and try to be sociable, I get the fucking cold sholder. This is coming from someone who use to frequent the site regularly about a year or so ago, maybe more, but it's gone down the fuckin' shitter in a heartbeat. It never use to be like that back when I first joind in the summer of 2002, but shit what a fuckin' difference a couple years make. So for those who are looking into getting an account on there, don't fucking bother, unless you want a bunch of holier than thou bullshit on your hands.
I stopped going on Fuck-The-People when I found Ventrilo and all the servers there, and if you get in the right server, some people are nice to dial-up users. I've only had one case where I got an asshole, but otherwise, ventrilo's been great!
Me too, I use to be a member on there when it was good going. I don't use chat rooms to talk to people I don't know anymore simply because I'm more comfortable with being in a chat room enviroment where I know the people. I only socialised with a few people on there and after school started I had no time for it. And when my contacts on aim/msn told me about Ventrilo I felt more comfortable over there. Yeah, people can get this way on any type of chat server. Maybe something you said that offended them. I also canceled my registration to FTP's yahoo group. Why? Because when I registered (and this goes on msn and yahoo groups.) to any type of group, if it can be viewed on a web browser instead of clogging my inbox, I'm all for it. Well FTP staff kept comming after me to switch my account to daily digest so that they could clog my inbox when I said "no. I can check the web browser." If not daily digest individual email, and we all know what that can happen if you do that: Depending on weather members can start conversations but this can really clog your inbox fairly quickly. So I cancelled that and I did go on there a few months ago and I just didn't feel comfortable around there. Nothing but kids/teens on the servers. Some of the people can get on the rude side and so, this is why I just rather go to Ventrilo or my GCN server to chat. Wasn't suppose to be a long post but eh it happens. But the moral is: If FTP is that bad, don't go on there, use servers/programs that are much friendlier to you where you know the people, and you know the enviroment.
I use to use FTP a couple of year ago too, was on thre quite regularly too. Now days all the peeps I use to talk to just aren't around, now it's all old farts, ro at least that's what it always seems to be when I have a look anyay. Ventrillo and Skype much better.
Yeah I also used to be on FTP 2 years ago or so, but like you Puggle, I find it's full of old people or overly relegious ones, not that I got anything against relegions or relegous people, but if that's the only topic of conversation you have in your life, then forget it. BTW, my ventrilo server is suitible for dialup users and nyone is welcome to check it out, address is: ik-hub.net and if you have any problems feel free to contact me
thanks for the warning.Personally I've no problem with bible thumpers if they dont try to convert me,but invariably they do,the fascists.
Hi Renegade Rocker,
I think I remember you from E2E and I note that you and I are on sometimes at same time at QuickNote here on this zone web site... This is my first opportunity as it were to say "hi' and to the rest who I recognize by your names of log in ... Hi Hi Hi Hi...*SMILE* ---- Connie CG
I simply quit going on there because there were too many old people. I don't have anything against old people don't get me wrong, it's just no fun hanging with a bunch of old people that arn't your age.

Yeah Goblin I totally agree, if they don't try to convince me or think less of me or judje me just because I might not belive in what they believe, or not in the sam way or don't express my beliefs in the way they do, they can do what ever they want, but also if that's all they can talk about and that be the only topic of conversation, it's no fun and no interest for me..We're kinda going off topic here, so to get back on topic, apart from the facts already mentioned about FTP, it seems that they all hang around in their little groups and if you're new, or simply, like some of us, haven't been there in ages you feel so unwelcomed because they creat that atmosphere.
...think I too shall be staying here at Zonebbs & E2E. THANKS on the Warning advance Renegade... This is Connie CG
Hey, watch hte old fart remarks! Hahahahahaha! I'm 39, but I know what you mean. Some people in my age group can be dull and uptight. When I first got on the net in 1998, I thought it was cool to get on various voice chat things and try to talk to random people. But now it seems I'm more into just finding interesting folks on e-mail lists and Livejournal and perhaps even boards like these. I've tried messing with things like Freedom Chat, but when I go into a room it seems like everybody knows everybody else and are content to just chatter away. Plus I just have a hard time starting a conversation and can't stand trying to make lame smalltalk. Ugh!
Yup most of the friends I made at the community college were well above my age. One was in her 30s, the rest 40s. In fact some of the people I chatted on one of my pal's ventrilo servers were all 30+ so it doesn't bother me. I can get along with any age group. Thats the kind of person I am. Yeah it might get dull and boring but no one said we had to be there to put up with it. If it got that way on my pal's vent server I hit the mute command and just tuned them out for a bit while I was doing multi tasking. But I never needed to do that because the people on that server were super nice. It all depends on what your personality is, if you're outgoing and charming. If all goes well, no matter how old the person is you'll gel in with them. In fact the oldest net friend I have (well we met at a access tech center in pennsylvania.) is in his almost mid 40s. And yet it doesn't bother me. And no problems with having friends of that age group. I mean my age group is 23-28 yr olds and I have plenty of friends in that group. But sometimes on a server and I need advice I kind of turn to those who are a bit older then me for advice/opinion simply because they probally were in that same situation as I was. And like I said I never encountered a chat server where I got the cold shoulder. Who knows maybe it was oldies night or seniors night who knows.
I have friends and acquaintances from probably the early twenties to perhaps in the fourty-something range. Depends really on the individual.

i usually find these cliques are the result of severe insecurity and a need to belong,some people need this as they need religion its a crutch which they cling to due to a lack of self belief, they're frightened by those of us who are outspoken and know our own minds!.

I stopped going on ftp about 2 years ago for a lot of the same reasons. A lot of the people on there acted really stuck-up, and got all on my case just because I sometimes used text to comunicate with other people instead of the voice chat system.
However, if most of the people in the rooms I was in hadn't been constantly hogging the key with their BS, I wouldn't have to have had to use text, and another thing, if we're not supposed to use that feature, why exactly is it there again?
Plus, I found the chatterbox cliant to not be stable half the time, and either I couldn't key in half the time, or if I managed to do so, people somehow managed to key in overtop of me, when I thought they fixed it so people couldn't do that to each other, so I finally just got tired of the whole thing and just left.
