You're so vain...You probably think this forum's about you...
 
Here is make the make believe world of Shultz, it is easy for me to think that the comic strip Peanuts is about me. There is nothing vain about it. I am, after all, the main character of this cartoon world. Lets face it, I am the reason that the Peanuts comic strip is a success. :D


However, there are those that have posted on other forums (such as Wordshare, or the old NFCF) that can't stand that this place called AFF could continue to succeed without their presence. They cannot seem to accept that they are not the reason for the success of a forum, or the failure of one. This cybernet world does not revolve around you, friend. While you may add to it in a good and positive way, or a positively stinky way, whether you stay or go, it will continue to turn. We are all the expendable crewman. None of us are the reason AFF succeeds, and not one of us can cause it to become a failure.


So as I finish my post here, I again repeat the title of the thread to the tune of the song it resembles....

You're so vain..... you probably think this forum is about you!

He called himself a blockhead in his title line. Maybe Lucy meant it affectionately. :D

An endearment, I bet you are right!

I do know that there have been some posters in the past that actually thought the forum would cease to exsist if they left.

It might change the dynamics of the place, but I'm pretty sure there is no one that important.

I can't disagree with a single thing you posted here.

Go post something else so I can.

I can't stand people like this! If someone is talking against this forum on another forum, that is just wrong.

What is the purpose?

It's like the big bully in the school playground. He's usually a bully because he's hiding an insecurity of his.

Jealousy.

Insecurity.

Stupidity.

Ignorance.

Boredom.

They have no life.

They want to draw attention to themselves.

They want others to see them for what they really are.

Take your pick.

I have intracted with people like you mention, CB. Their heads are so big thy can't walk into many places without offending most of them.

The truth is that they are so broken insde and are not trusting Jesus for their completelness that they must fine it someplace else...like an intranet forum or dirty pictures. I may not be the best speller, but at least I know who I am and who I belong to...that makes me a whole person and acceptd by God!

I dont need no stinking internet forum! But I do have fun here when I can log on and I lke the peopole to!! This forum does fine without me, so I know your not talking about me.

Mr Right, you must have missed the "It is all about ME crowd toward the end of NFCF."

I believe some of them are still crowing about their self granduer according to CB.

Aaaaaaaaah!

These flesh crucifying reality checks! Heaven help us! :thumbsup

If we continue to have our flesh crucified this way, we're all going to end up in HEAVEN!

Leave it up to good ol' Charlie Brown to crucify it. He may be the reason that wel ALL make it, after all. :lol

Is there an avatar not around that used to grace us?


Silly me... I hadn't noticed. :)

True. But when reading some of the comments here including the opening post I couldn't help but think about the fact that people are people and people talk and express their opinions on a myriad of topics on these forums. AFF is no exception to that of course. And I've read comments on this forum and on NFCF and FCF ..... on them all actually ..... about other forums where snide or critical comments have been made.

And how do you know if people on other forums are talking about this one? Who's reporting back and why? What difference does it make? It's only natural that people are going to express opinion.

Sorry, but I'm just wondering what the purpose of this thread really is? To get a message across to people who no longer post here? Is there anybody on this forum who thinks it would sink if they vacated the premises? I haven't read any posts to that effect.

What difference does it make if someone is critical of AFF? There has been a lot of criticism of both FCF and NFCF in the past. I've heard negative statements made about GNC and other forums as well. So what? ;) :)

Lol!

Well if anyone leaves it does change the dynamics of the forum. However, I don't believe any ONE person leaving can affect it so greatly that it could cause closure to a forum.

Charlie Brown 05-14-2007 09:32 AM

This is what I was trying to do when I stated that "this is for you". :heeheehee

Well of course. There've been times I've left off posting here for a few days and things just continued rolling along. Amazing! :D

Hmmmm.....come to think of it, I do remember some inordnate amounts of arrogants from some poster(s) who seemed to thing that NFCF revolved around them and that a forum couldn't exist without them.

It seems that there is a void here they haven't filled.


THNAK God!!!!
