  I believe the ones that think that way are the ones that choose to care what people like copsretarded have to say. They say that hate him, but they avidly read anyway. 

• rightwingwizard said on Aug 13, 2007....

  As far as mood goes, in my short time here I have seen a few general mood swings.  This may be a function of whom I read and who reads me, but it has happened.  I am not entirely sure that it has much to do with the trolls as I generally do not read them and even less often comment to them or about them on others' posts.  This may, however be a factor.  If it is the reason is simple.   Those whom I read are involved in some way and their mood changes oh so temporarily.

  Actually, I thought that things had mellowed out lately

• wombat said on Aug 13, 2007....

  I don't know about "lately." (and I am not trying to disagree with you--just talking about how I see SC in general)    I just have always been under the impression that the moods tended to fluctuate en masse--like the tides.  I am not speaking as someone who is "in the know" like several of the long-time bloggers.  I just got that impression from hanging around, watching, reading, and commenting.  When things perk up, they certainly perk up!   When things seem to turn sour, I get depressed and consider the reasons I am on here at all.  It has to be a "group mood," at least in some respects, I would guess.  Or else, I am just nuttier than I even thought.  I catch  "moods" from here, anyway!

  I think SC seems the same to me...I am unsure of how many people have come and gone because it took a while for me to have the time to be here consistently...the only thing I am waiting for is: Jenna, Grape, FaithfulD, Hunter...I want them to share their blogs again because I loved them!

• purple said on Aug 13, 2007....

  Things seem pretty much the same here as they always have. Mostly good people with a few random morons thrown in to keep things exciting.

• bloc said on Aug 13, 2007....

  life would be pretty boring without the random morons ;)

• travelr712 said on Aug 13, 2007....

• mom said on Aug 13, 2007....

  Thank you bloc. :)  I didn't even think you noticed me.
  
  I sometimes feel as if the place is changing, it is usually after a big fight when things calm down, but over all things are just the way they have been, it is just more noisy than other times. I think I tend to internalize things a lot.
  

• the_infernal_optimist said on Aug 13, 2007....

  Nope...the people I still enjoy reading are still churning out great posts, with one or two exceptions who've gone on from here already. The ones who always made me laugh or cry still do that with great skill, and there are some stunningly nifty newcomers around as well. :)
  
  I'm not stupid - I see what people are referring to - but to say that SC is changing the way people mean atm is to hold the negative incidents as way more important than the vast majority of the friendly, poignant, humorous, witty, etc. exchanges that take place thousands of times every day.

• beyondtheveil said on Aug 13, 2007....

  Ed- I would rather use the word seems rather than noticed. It seems there are less people posting and it seems SC is being deserted more on weekends and holidays than when I first was here. It seems there are less regulars than there used to be.
  
  I was reading comments in a post between two people this weekend and one said to the other "are we the only one's on line today?"
  
  Nothing to back it up, it just seems this way.
  

• wombat said on Aug 13, 2007....

  May I add a thought?  Yes, most people are here as always.  But I have noticed an influx of different posts, some adult, some "ads."  I seem to have more that I "bypass" to get to where I think I am going.  I also don't try to be the "first responder" to new posts anymore.  I am a little wary of that.  I don't know if this means anything at all, but felt like mentioning it.

• Eilan said on Aug 13, 2007....

  It seems that there haven't been as many people around lately, but otherwise, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary.
  
  I never get why people think SC is different from, or somehow "above," whatever drama that occurs here.  Anyone who's spent any amount of time in/around online communities should know that no site is drama-free.
  

• CreativeWoman said on Aug 13, 2007....

  Maybe I have changed a little in the time I've been here.  I think I hold back on some of the really personal stuff I used to write about.  I was kind of stung by that Sithborg post a few months ago and the responses it got. Blogging hasn't been the same for me since then. I find myself going inward and reading more books to improve myself than coming here to write.

• desertsienna2 said on Aug 13, 2007....

  Personally, I'd like to see less of the left-wing, right-wing battle and less of this sexual commentary.  I never read about people's cats, music, pop culture, art, soccer, hockey or something else.  Not against a political view, offer them myself, but it could use a little balance.

• Expendable said on Aug 13, 2007....

  It's summer. Some SoulCasters are actually out doing things. Having fun.

  No, I don't think things have radically or even sigificantly changed.

  But I do read Cops. I'm not subscribed to him but there's some people you shouldn't ignore, even if you don't like them much. He reminds me of someone I used to know.

• kelly said on Aug 13, 2007....

  I'm not sure how you're seeing that stuff, desert, unless you are actively clicking on such posts.  For instance, I'm pretty much here for political/civil rights issues and I successfully avoid the sex posts, although gender issues are interesting to me.
  
  
  SC is what you make it.  The tenor of the atmosphere around here lately doesn't seem too different to me.  In fact, since I stopped reading a certain individual or two it's gotten decidely nicer.  :-)

• jadestar said on Aug 14, 2007....

  weellllll, despite fear of sacriledge, I'll put in my 2 cents. I'm green, wet behind the ears etc. This is the first & only on line community I've ventured into. I was really put off by some 'nasties' but then I also came to the realisation that the ones accussing this place of being sinister, were the ones that I saw making the place sinister. Of course I'm not around enough to know who started & what's what etc. So like Kelly, I've decided that maybe it would be better to be even more selective, and I've found it does help.
  as to your question ed, I'm not qualified to answer as I have not been here that long nor am I on that often... & basically, in a nutshell, I'm CLUELESS..it takes me a while to cotton on to people's gender EVEN if they put it in their profile....
  actually I shouldn't even comment here at all, but y'kno me...BLABBERMOUTH....

• Alyss said on Aug 14, 2007....

  The mood here seems much the same to me but then I have (so far) managed to stay away from the various incidents that crop up from time to time. I am aware of things kicking off but try to stick to my policy of not feeding the trolls by ignoring them as much as possible.

  To me, it is just like RL some people have their days.  I really have seen some cursor pointing here. name calling etc w/o even reading the post - it has been in the title.  But, in RL I just walk away and ignore it, and let the people involved carry on their todo. For the most part, I find the people I read and stay with very enjoyable and usually easy to respond to w/o fear I will say something wrong to set them off in a tizzy.  But, yes, ed, I have "felt" the tension occasionally.  I just don't understand the big issue over getting on the featured post page.  Get over it already!! my 2 cents.

  Gotta go to work but before I do a quick comment.  I do feel there has been a change in the mood here lately.  Just the mood.  I agree that the blogging style is, from all I can see, still what it was 5 months ago when I arrived.  That's just my opinion and the feeling I get.  I would like to say I believe my view could be completely distorted because I'm just now getting the hang of this place.  I have to go earn my keep now, I hope I explained that okay.

  Well, I think that there is a good piece of negativity going around... I feel really bad that Kyle has left. I know it's his decision and all, but I still feel really bad that he was made to feel that he was a liar. I will miss him and his posts greatly.
   
  Personally, I don't feel like blogging much since the whole AliCat19 thing. If someone is going to use my posts against me, and take my personal information and flame me with it, I don't want to write anymore. I shared things from my heart, and it was used against me. I didn't appreciate that, and I don't feel like putting myself out there to get burned again.

• ZsuzsiO said on Aug 14, 2007....

  Well, I've been up here over a year now. And some more. I know I am not the one who is up here every day and knows everyone, reads everyone, but I am here. Some times get involved, sometimes just let my thoughts out and leave again.

  But I know SC. It is not SC that's changing. It is us - you guys - who read and react to the changes inside yourselves. I know, I know, whoever know me, now says " here we go again, she starts with the whole concept of YOU". But I truely believe in this concept.

  The world never changes. People do. We do. So as relationships never change. The people in it do.

  This post and people commenting in it shows exactly how it works.

  Think about it. Are you the type who can commit - let's say to a relationship - and make a long term connection, or are you the type who's "never happy"?

  I can tell you right now, people who say SC is pretty much the same, and the mood changes are perfectly fine as the part of life, are the very same people who can live in long marriages, keep long term friendships, and know to acept people and things the way they are.  Those who complain are mostly the ones who always find themselves in a relationship asking "why and where did it go wrong?"

  I know I am the same way with people as I am with my interactive, online communities. I know who I really like and connect with, and I am pretty faithful too, but I do have my mood swings, so I come and go. With me, all you have to know, that I come back. Always. And I love to find you there welcoming me, noticing me, resonding to me without holding me responsible for being away a little bit. I need my feedom and I'll let you have yours.

  Selection is indeed a main thing in these online communities. I now much more than I used to, and if I have something to say, I even comment. When I do there is no way you can miss that. With that, I've made a couple of friendships up here. People I want to read more, people I want to let into my world more.

  I don't read things just for passing time. I don't read things that don't talk to me. Why would I bother when I know there are people who are probably going to make me feel good about me, about life. They are here. They ARE here. Not always shinning and happy, but than I wan tot be there for them. Not always deep and touching, but than I want to laugh with them, or just be nuaghty for the fun of it. That's a relationship.

  I've only had two people I've had spicy conversations with in the past. Hunter and The Nacked. I don't even remember why. All I know that it all worked out in the end. I was actually looking forward for their answeres just because I knew there was going to be an intelligent come back that'll challange me. I like challanges. I respect other point of views.

  I just don't getr into the hot and wet sex posts or the silly, childish ones. I don't read the borring blogs, I don't read the ones that don't interest me. I am not changing. At least not enough to blame it on the site.

  It's all in your head guys. It's all in your head.

• jadestar said on Aug 14, 2007....

  Ali - the fact that you & Kyle got hurt in such a mean attack is awful. And I can see why he would leave & you would choose not to write. It's terribly unfair ... but I hope that both of you change your minds & carry on regardless.

  Love Worf

• Suddenrain said on Aug 14, 2007....

  I don't mind the arguments as long as people are not being hurt. It's normal to have a difference of oppinion. But to start crap for no reason or to have fun at the expense of others feelings, or to intentionally hurt someone, That irks me to no end. Especially when it's someone who never bothers a soul but comes here to mingle and have a good time. There's always going to be one or two that have to make someone else miserable to have a good time. It gets old. It's like being at a party, everyone casually having a couple drinks and then some lunatic has to many and becomes the raging drunk who starts in on people and smashing things up. It spoils the mood and people start leaving.

  I hav'nt been here long and already have had my run ins, which put me over the edge at one point. I think at some point you have to speak what's on your mind. But it's over with and I don't read them anymore or bother with them. I know who they are inside and I don't need that kinda aggravation although I'm not saying I'd back down if it came my way again. It's all a part of life and what you have to deal with. I still think SC is a great community as a whole and it will ever so slightly change as people come and go. New personalities, perrenials, and permanent. Families grow and expand and some leave the nest. That's life.

• PassionTraveler said on Aug 14, 2007....

  You know what I think it might be? The newbies who begin to develop connections. When you are new, you think it's all great and are a bit self-absorbed in your own writings. Once the stardust clears, I think a bit of your fantasy fades with it, but for the grounded people, we recognize this as an opportunity to network amongst other SCers.
  
  Also, I think it's pretty difficult to not get caught up in the hype good or bad when it's your fellow SCers that you've finally begun to forge bonds with, and it is a different experience from first joining. I think too there may be a tad bit of competition after that settling in period. Many SCers begin to realize the efforts it takes to keep up with the Jones' so to speak. "He's posted every day, OMG I need to post every day too," for example. That competition, real or imagined, can put some undue stress on some newbies making it feel less enjoyable and more like work. I sometimes feel that way, but then, I let it roll off me. LOL Water on a duck's back.

• fearing said on Aug 14, 2007....

  Ed, so now I'm predictable?  ;-p  So much for mysterious and deep.  Back to the shallow end of the pool........
  It wasn't anything deeper than what I wrote earlier.  It was early and I don't explain myself well sometimes.  I'm looking at it from 2 viewpoints.  First  - has this place changed and second - has the mood changed?  I agree with you in my very limited experience that the blogging style hasn't changed.  My entrance was during a particularly bad falling out of some Soulcasters.  I was too new to know what was going on and wise enough to stay out of it due to some very good advice.  The falling outs come and go.  The name calling pops up.  The people so intent on upsetting others and spreading their mean and hurtful ways are still here.  More importantly, the people who are good and want to show that to others are still here too.  Those things have not changed.  To me, this place has a tide that comes and goes.
  
  The mood I was speaking of seems to have changed in the overall feeling I get.  Some of the bright-eyed wonder has faded.  Maybe it's just me.  I've noticed more of us struggling in depressed states.  Maybe it was this way when I got here but missed it in my newness.  That's the thing about SoulCast  - moods don't translate all that well into print.  There is no tone, no body language, no light behind the eyes to convey what someone is really feeling. 
  Hopefully whatever (I feel) ails us is just the flow of the tide.
  
  You read waaaay more than I could begin to on this site and you've been here longer.  I'll take your word for it things are normal.

• moonriver said on Aug 14, 2007....

  but i like suddenrain's explanation. i agree, 100%. even if i read only the nice people on sc, these people also change thru time. evil-twin fell in love, got engaged on real-time sc, didn't he? now he's gone (it seems), hurting from some nasty prick. he's not the first, and most probably won't be the last. that's life.

  i wonder... people often mold their online personality to be an aspect that is not prevalent in their real life. that often can end up making people look somewhat one dimensional.
  my point is, i wonder if you met one of these people in real life, if your opinion of them would change? would they act the same as they do here? perhaps some of these people are the nicest, sweetest people you could ever meet, and use this medium to 'vent' all of the hostility they build up so that they can be nice to those around them.

  I have to agree with ed & fearing. And if you're capable of it, then you're capable of it...& what does that say about you......

  I hope the mood hasn't slipped any, Ed. When I came here, I liked the candid environment of this place. The idea of a small community is a good one for me, because I like networking and communicating with small groups of people. It feels like a village. Every village has a town drunk or a bank robber. There's no community, whether on the internet or in real life, without its bad apples. But a few nasty people shouldn't tarnish the image of an entire group of people.

  The mood has to change when the chemistry is altered...

  silver - yeah, maybe you're right, but i like to hope for the best :-)

  harried: holy crap, where've you been, man?! and well said, sir. :>
  
  moon platoon: one would think that but i'm not entirely sure i agree in this instance.
  
  traveler: me too, but i also tend to expect the worst... :>

  silver - so you're never disappointed... :-P

  bingo!

  Your right, its not changing. Its been a bit of a crappy place. The annoymous postings ability means more than the usual types try and get away with crappy behavior.

  Doesnt mean there isnt good folks......but there is more than the usual bad ones that I've seen.

• silverwhisper said on Aug 17, 2007....

  i think, carm, that depends upon who you read. you don't usually see that crap on LG's blog entries, for example.

  soulcast is my first online community experience... (cept a few dodgy 'pulling' sites I went thru phases on...faceparty...:-)
  
  my honest opinion.....  its very much like real life only easier to shut down or be more active, I love this place and i came across it at a really tough point in my life.... total truth...i'm not sure how sane i would be if I hadnt come across soulcast!
  
  There is an awfull lot of dramas that take place, there are bullys here....  that work just like they do in real life....  and i am guilty of taking it to heart sometimes and feeling like abandaning ship....  tho in those cases...my return is as certain as the tide because i am truly addicted!!!
  this place has come my second home, i have met so many like minded souls....so much humour...and i have learnt a whole lot. I love it love it love it!!!
  I havnt been here long enough to have a fair opinion on wether or not it has changed since the begining....but in the time i have been here i have noticed it changes daily!
  small changes.....and wombat ...i agree totally! this place has mood swings!!
  I have mood swings! dont we all??
  as a group, a community...  i have noticed the mood tends to be contagious...
