Easier than pie
Well I figured this belongs here since it is community related...
Making enemies on this site is 5 times easier than making friends... for some people >.>; Or at least it certainly seems as such... To those people... who won't be named but are blatantly obvious... Like a whale at a pool party... But don't talk about them... talk about you. ... Well I was thinking I was going to make a longer post about this... but I can't think of much to fill it with... the first sentence pretty much summed it up *cough*... So... here's the question part... and I want you to be honest when answering... Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha? Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? Explain. Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Explain. If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? Explain. EDIT: Please... don't... talk... about... Gaia Online. No where in the questions... does it ask about Gaia Online. Please don't compare Gaia to Menewsha in your answers. Way too many people have felt the need to do so. This is purely Menewsha based. Don't even bring Gaia up... it has no point to be involved n this circumstance. |
i find it easy to make friends here. :o
i dont think that i have made any enemies yet, only one that i had before i came here, and they happened to be here too. i havent seen them in a long time though, so thats good. i dont feel unwanted here, people always talk to me. :D on gaia i would post, and noone would say anything to me. -.- but there they actually talk to me and are nice. if i was feeling unwanted, i would probably stay. XD maybe not post for a while though.but luckily i dont feel unwanted just yet. XD |
Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha?
I dont really have anybody that i would consider a proper friend, as in somebody who speaks directly to me in a thread, but i'm just not very good at making friends. Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? I try and stay on the good side of people and their threads. Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? Friends. Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? No, not really. Explain. Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Yes, i think so. People include you in their topics alot, it makes me feel involved and want to contribute more anyway. If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? I think i'd try and get more involved. If all else failed, i'd create a new account and adopt a new personality, and see if it got any better to fit in. |
So far as i know i havent made any friends/enemys on here yet but some people nicely answer me on here.

Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha?
Pretty easy, yeah! I've actually made several friends here on this site. More acquaintances than actual friends, but there are many people here I would call friend. Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? Nope, not particularly. I'm so not into arguments or internet drama (had enough of it years ago!), so I tend to walk away from it at the first hints of it popping up. I've been in threads where I can disagree with someone's opinion, but it never turns ugly or argumentative, luckily. If it looks like it's going that route, I'll bow out before it does. Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? Friends, definitely. I suppose there are those people out there who I won't click with much, but I can't say that I find it particularly easy to make enemies with them. If anything, we simply won't interact and that's about it. I don't like the thought of making enemies, so I try to go by the "do unto others" ideal. Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? Explain. Don't really get into arguments here... Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Explain. Yes and no. There are some people who seem really tight and their groups feel hard to penetrate - I've seen those since I first joined. But then there are other people who are just really friendly and seem to be on the same page as me as far as just enjoying this place for what it is and in keeping things light. If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? Explain. I'd eventually leave, I think. I've been on forums or guilds where I felt largely ignored and just never fitting in and they lose their fun for me when that happens. So I'd leave. I mean, the pixels and stuff are fun here, but if I never feel I'm welcome, then the whole point of me playing here would pretty much be gone. |
I have to dis agree with you. I have made more friends here than on any other site. I have gotten into way more arguments on other sites. I have never gotten into an argument here. Maybe you did something to get into an argument?

Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha?
Very much. ^^ Almost all the people here are very nice and fun to talk to. Including the person whom I feel you were writing about. >.< Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? Not particularly. I don't think I've gotten into a real argument yet here. >.< Although with my personality, I don't get into fights easily. Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? It's much easier to make friends. ^^ Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? Explain. Even when I was first on Menewsha and knew absolutely no one here, I didn't get into a single argument. That would have been fruitless and unproductive. :3 Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Explain. Definitely. ^^ Admittedly I did make the much-desired avatar creator, but also there are many people here who like me just because they've talked to me quite a bit. ^^ If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? Explain. If nobody would talk to me anymore, I'd prolly just stop posting. :? Easier that way. |
After checking some of your posts, some things you type can lead into arguments pretty fast. Hint: Pokemon thread.

Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha?
I find it easy to strike up conversations with people and get to know others with similar interests, but it will be a while before I form any friendships. But that has to do with me, not the site. So far, I've found that this place is very open to conversation. I wouldn't be surprised if I meet up with future friends on here. Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? Not particularly. Any website you visit will have arguments and scuffles on the boards, but I think that the mods here are preventing it as best they can. I like the tight set of rules they've set up. Making a genuine enemy will be near impossible. Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? Friend, definately. It's always easier for me to connect with someone than to fight with them. And everyone here is just so upbeat, it's hard to even get mad. Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? Explain. I lack 'friends' on this site, and haven't gotten into a scuffle yet. Those fights are going to happen because of your own actions, not because you've got a few buddies running around behind you. Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Explain. Absolutely. Right from my Fresh Meat thread, everyone has made me feel welcome. And I hope that I've helped them out, too. If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? Explain. An outcast? Aren't we getting just a little dramatic? This is a chat website - If you find that you're no longer having fun, just stop coming. It's as simple as that. |
Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha?
For the most part, I do find it easy to make friends. It's not too hard to jump into conversations as most people are nice and don't mind it. I have a thread in the exchange and I have a few regulars who come in to chat and such. Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? I don't get into arguements easily...the main way I would get into any altercation is by someone calling me a name or saying something rude to me, I will stick up for myself but I'm not going to let what I say turn it into a flaming bitch fest. I'm not out to argue or make enemies, just to have fun and relax away from reality from time to time. Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? Friends definately...I've really only had a severe disagreement with one person, and been annoyed by two other people. Three out of six thousand says something lol. Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? Explain. Nope for reasons previously stated. Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Explain. Pretty much. People are friendly on here for the most part. I give what I expect to get back, I'm friendly and so is pretty much everyone else. If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? Explain. Well if I was to become an outcast....I have no idea. I guess I'd finally get around to creating a mule and just start over, but unlikely lol. *Favors current screenname* <33 |
Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha?
I think if I actually tried to make friends by staying in one place and conversing more I could make a ton of friends. The people here seem really nice to me. I have yet to meet some one who actually dislikes me. Then again I normally don't look at post replies and I move enough that people can't really talk with me. But over all I think friends could be made fairly easily. Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? I have yet to get into an argument. (But I've also only been on here what, like three days? :?) Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? Friend. >w< Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? I don't think so. I don't have any friends but I also haven't had any arguments. Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Yep, everyone is so warm and caring. Unlike the other place *coughgaiaGDcough* where I came from. (I really love Gaia though, it's a great place. At the same time however the GD there could be really rude and mean) If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? If I felt like an outcast I'd just try harder to fit in. I'm one of those people who adapts to the situation (A trait I can't say I'm proud of >.>) I would be able to change the way I said things to fit in more and more. If things got really bad I wouldn't leave Menewsha but I'd leave the forum and try another place. There I would wait until I'd thought enough people would forget me. |

Knerd - (Last question) It's a "what if"... it can be as dramatic as it needs to be. -Razor- - (Last question) o.o; *scared* To the people who felt the need to bring up Gaia when the questions were about Menewsha - Stop it... I'm tired of the crappy comparison (Nothing personal, of course... I just see it way too often around here). Everyone - Thank you for your answers. |
Re: Easier than pie
Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha?
If you have a lot of time on your hands.. i don't Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? Yea, I havent gotten into any but I've only made like 30 posts in the past 5 months so. Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? Probably an enemy lots of people here are fighting with each other not like it used to be. Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? Explain. I guess so cause you don't have anyone who you really know who you chat with or wholl help you in a fight Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Explain. For the most part but yeah it seems hard to make friends if you dont have enough time. If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? Explain. Pretty much right now. Post 1nce or 2wice if I feel like it.. Stick it out is the option you gave, rite? |
Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha?
--Not really, but maybe that's just because I don't really stick in one thread and have conversations with people. I tend to browse through threads, and make a reply when I have something to say. Then, I leave and go post somewhere else. So I don't really have any actual friends on Menewsha, but I know a lot of people slightly. Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? --I have never actually gotten into an argument before, because if I see something I don't like, I'll just ignore it and move on. If someone came into a thread started by myself and started annoying me, I would probably get into an argument, but it's never happened before. Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? --It's probably easier for me to make an enemy here. There are a lot of people who I don't really like, just because of their personalities and the way they respond to other people. I have never talked to some of them, but I have seen them post, and can tell by what they say that I don't like them. Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? Explain. --No, I think I would be more prone to argue if I had a lot of friends, because then I would know that people would be willing to back me up and help me fight. Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Explain. --So far, no one has made me feel not wanted, but I haven't really made any true friends, either. If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? Explain. --Well, if I didn't like the community, then there would be no point in being part of it, so I'd just leave and find something else to do online. |

Do you find it easy to make friends on Menewsha?
Yeah, even though a lot of my friends here were also my friends on other sites, I've still made quite a few friends. ^^ Do you find it easy to get into arguments or scuffles on Menewsha? As nice as most people in the community are, Mene has its fair share of drama. I guess I've been involved in a few things but I haven't involved myself for fun and because I have nothing better to do. It's more about standing up for something, but I won't take it too far anywho. :lol: Do you feel it is easier to make a friend or make an enemy on Menewsha? Isn't that a bit like asking if Mene is full of mean people or nice people? :P Well Mene has more nice people, so I'd say it's easier to make a friend. But of course, that all depends on you. Do you find it's easier to get into arguments and scuffles when you lack many friends on Menewsha? Explain. Totally unrelated. It all depends on what you say and what you do, not how many friends you have. I suppose friends can back you up in arguments (if they choose to) but that's something that occurs afterwards. Does the Menewsha community make you feel like you are welcome/wanted? Explain. Personally, yes. People are friendly to me but I suppose me being friendly also helps as well. You only really feel as welcome as much as you let others welcome you, if that makes any sense at all. If you were to find yourself feeling like an outcast in Menewsha society... what would you do? Leave? Stick it out? A mysterious third option? Explain. In my honest opinion, if you think you're an outcast in this community then you're not trying hard enough to fit in. Most hangout-type threads on Mene are friendly and welcome everyone, even the newbies. |

Just a note, because some people don't get why I asked the friends and arguments question. In some situations your social status (IE how many friends you have, how popular you are, etc) will affect the way other people react to the things you say. For example (And this isn't an actual event or anything, I'm making this part up for a situation to show what I'm trying to say)...
Say a person starts a thread... people have various opinions... One person posts his/her opinion. This person is a mod or a regular... or just someone generally well known on the site or in the particular forum. People may be less likely to dispute the statement made by said person. OR they may choose to word their reply differently because of the mod/reg/popular person's status. Let's say another person posts their views on the topic subject. This person is relatively unknown, or just not cared for within the community. No friends, no real status and what not. They word their opinion and someone feels differently. Because the person with the different view doesn't know of this person, they generally feel safe to word their retort in a much more aggressive or let's just say less polite fashion. They know that there won't be any sort of consequence for being rude (not F LAMMER rude, just generally rude) to this individual. Or perhaps they just care less since they never heard of them. In this circumstance the benefit would be having more friends, being more popular, or what not. And the person without friends is at a disadvantage, socially. I hope I worded that well enough to make sense, and get the general point across. Sorry if I just made it more confusing ^.^; |
Social status really does not exist on Menewsha. The people who think they are popular, don't have any people who think the same. Mods, Admins, and Developers really don't get treated any different. Unless people suck up to them.
