Yet, another exaggeration.
Of the first 20 subscribed threads in my control panel, 2 are my own threads.
Yes, a lot of my posts are in my own threads, but isn't that normally how it would be? Yes, I'm not here daily 24/7 and I go MIA at times, but it's because I'm not one for having my life revolve around the site, never did, and most likely never will. Don't take it the wrong way, it's cool that you guys have thousands of posts because you're so active on the site and you have the time to join 'the community' and shoot the shit and post in every thread possible. Well, that's not me. If I scan the most recent posts, I usually click on just a few that initially interest me, then I the rest of my time is spent interacting just through those few subscribed threads. If you knew me in real life and not just on the stupid internet forums you would know I'm not selfish, I'm not an ass, I'm generally quiet, keep to myself and people take that the wrong way, that I'm arrogant, yet I help anyone out anyway I can all the time, I'm good like that.
I've taken plenty of abuse on the site in the past and I don't take offense to any of it, I've met people in person and most of them aren't that way in person, they just put up this front and try to be the funny one and stand out and be well liked. For them it's a popularity contest, and I know exactly the ones that are this way. I could care less about being popular, it's not my goal in life. So, I'll lay low for a while, then I would get emails asking me where I've been and to come back. For what? So I can be criticized and be told I'm selfish? I enjoy the site and value the opinions of everyone on this site, which is why it's the forum I'm on most, even more than the forum where there are far more locals I come into contact with.
If the reason some of you like to go above and beyond to bust my balls due to the fact that I don't participate as much as you would like and that you think I'm self-centered, then feel free to remove my username from the site. Didn't realize I was such a problem.
