There’s this adorable thread on the LL Blogorum.\u00a0 I got linked to it through SLU.\u00a0 The title is “Why doesn’t Immy talk to us more<\/a>“. (^_^)<\/p>\n

The OP reflects upon how wordy I am here as opposed to my “I like turtles!” responses I post over there.\u00a0 And, actually, I am quite aware of the irony that I’m even put THIS in my blog.\u00a0 So, like, when I’m done typing… I’ll copy-paste it to the Blogorum just to be fair. =^-^=<\/p>\n

But, why don’t I post to the Blogorum more?\u00a0 Actually?\u00a0 I do have reasons.\u00a0 (^_^)<\/p>\n

For one, I was one of the participants in the closed beta of the Blogorum software.\u00a0 We collectively hammered at it, tried out the interface, and found what worked and what didn’t.\u00a0 Many of the things we directly addressed as problem areas weren’t addressed at all.\u00a0 Only a few got solved at later dates after the broader community complained (the report button << I raised a frigg’n fuss over this being missing in closed beta) (>_<)<\/p>\n

So, that… Threaded mode lag, linear mode confusion, and just overall frustration with the interfaces… Yeah, I’m discouraged from posting. (=_=)<\/p>\n

Also, the moderation bugs me.\u00a0 I haven’t had many posts deleted and I have placed many posts that were intended to be inflammatory to test the limits.\u00a0 They’re still up.\u00a0 I posted partial nudes of my avatar.\u00a0 They’re still up.\u00a0 I jokingly tell Daria that I’m shorter than her.\u00a0 It gets deleted.\u00a0 Eeeeh? (O.o)<\/p>\n

( By the way… I ~AM~ shorter. =^-^= )<\/p>\n

Then, this will probably be a total surprise… I’m shy. (._.)<\/p>\n

Really, when talking to new people, even online, hooo baby do I start out with a low profile.\u00a0 It takes me some time to feel cozy with any crowd.\u00a0 I’ve probably been slower here simply because of my frustrations over the page format itself. DX<\/p>\n

And y’all are doing fine without me.\u00a0 I keep an eye on the Q&A threads and people are doing a great job of addressing the legit questions.\u00a0 Though, the scoring method is totally broken.\u00a0 If someone posts a “question” (<< You know what I mean =^-^= ) with a preconceived agenda… They just wait until the next buttnuget comes along to agree with them then *DING!* THAT post answers the question!!! …..\u00a0 ?? (O.o)<\/p>\n

So, blegh!\u00a0 It’s not the people.\u00a0 I enjoy the attention.\u00a0 I just see no decent way to use that bastard lovechild of a blog, forum, and answers column (Ooh, three way, kinky! XD) to really reach out to people. (=_=)<\/p>\n

So, if I can’t really do anything else, at least I can make people laugh.\u00a0 Which is why I do all those microposts.\u00a0 I enjoy injecting a dose of fun in even the most serious conversations.\u00a0 LOLcats have their limits.\u00a0 So, I just quip away. =^-^=<\/p>\n

And, boy, I really hit the ground running in my blog now, eh?\u00a0 I think that was a UI thing too.\u00a0 My old Blogger blog had a really wonky text entry box.\u00a0 Formatting was frustrating.\u00a0 I just couldn’t get it where I wanted it.\u00a0 DX<\/p>\n

On a whim, I bought my own bloody domain and shoved WordPress into it.\u00a0 I reeeeeeeeeeeealy like WordPress. =^-^=<\/p>\n

That, and, no admins or advertisers here.\u00a0 Basically, the only line I have to draw is the one which would garner the FBI’s attention. Me likes~! Xp<\/p>\n

I like everyone.\u00a0 And, yes, I mean everyone.\u00a0 Even if Prokkie were to invite me over to bark about grid politics or what-have-you over some tea… I’d be all for it.\u00a0 (^_^)<\/p>\n

I’m funny that way. (^_^)y<\/p>\n
