When I first came to this site and I foolishly jumped right into the forums I thought it was fun and entertaining. Of course everyone here has had a run in with someone at some point in time but lately things seem to be getting a little out of hand and have become so tense nobody wants to say anything for fear of being banned, reported, or jumped on. I am taking a beak from the threads and gonna concentrate on my hubs but I had to say this.
To each and everyone of you that I either know well or barely know I have come to love you all in one way or another, weather it's because of your hubs, your attitude, your interactions with others, or anything else.
I hope things will cool down soon because I sure do MISS the fun of it all. I know there will always be debates that's just a fact of life, can't avoid it but the fun parts of it like joking around without offending others, talking about ideas for this, that, and the other, that's what I miss.
I'll be back soon.
LIVE-LAUGH-LOVE
Your Friend,
Pinkylee
Pinky, I hope you stay ok, you are always fun in here, remember the guessing game is also fun, just cool off,
I am starting to agree more and more with those who are choosing to leave the forums. I completely understand, Pinky, but just don't leave HP, I'd miss you way too much.
Aw, don't go! Just stay off the political and religion forums! We luv you!
Pshhh!! you cant leave... think about it, if you go, who will fight me on the "last one to post wins" forum?!?!
Pinks, I read this book on values and life couple weeks ago and the it said this one line which I really liked, it went something along the lines of, "don't waste your time reading the comments from people who don't deserve your time". ok, that doesn't sounds very much like it, but just accept that it was something really cool Basically, don't let others behaviour dictate yours and by that I mean don't let some people affect your fun!
On a thought.... I hope I'm not one of those people??
Keep on having fun pinks!! lifes to short to let some bastards ruin it for you!!
p.s I think you're too fun to lose!!
Okay, this may sound strange but it's true.
I am new and nervous to be here in the forums.
I saw this thread and felt awful your feeling so sad.
I ran over and read two of your hubs and i say
please come back soon
I need you
look forward to hopefully getting to know you, and I hope soon.
Hope you feel better sooner than later
See you soon
BillY
I am feeling a bit same now. I thought people are quite friendly here.
Yes people are friendly here. It's just that when it comes to religion & politics thread they forget that they're debating with friends and things go out of hand sometimes.Don't worry about it things will be back on track,besides march-april are tax months.So...
Pinky,Pinky..no need to run off...If there is less fun we need to make more!! It's just a thing!! It shall pass...
Well at least your not leaving HP, just the forums (and even then only for a bit). Focus on those hubs and you know what? You will be back here before to long announcing some major success, from highest earning day with google or an amazon sale or 100 hubs! You are not the only one to decide to take a break from the forums, usually tho the forums are just to irresistible to stay away from totally. The only forum break I have seen without a sneeky post here or there (to congratulate or comfort a friend most often) are the ones imposed by HP themselves! Have fun writing them hubs and I know we will see you again, probably soon
maybe you could pop into the forums every other day? or once a week? I have nothing else clever to say.....
thanks y'all i just need a little bit of a break from the threads .. i'm back for tonight though
Take a break from the forums...self-ban yourself for a few days. It helps! I've done it a few times and will probably be doing it again soon
Ain't it great? you actually get stuff done when ya ban yourself...kind of scary
Sleep GOOOOOOD I wrote about 8 hubs on my last ban...I was on a roll..then it died
lol i have written about 5 or 6 with one unfinished in the waiting ... gonna do it tmw i think ... have so many more ideas i need to get done then i can start one more ideas lol
get that notebook or journal out girl and start writing down those ideas before they start keeping you up at night. I need to put that darn notebook back by my side of the bed again with a small flashlight so as not to bug hubby at night.
And you think your gonna do it? yea that means you won't just kidding
i have a notebook on my desk ... and yeah i prolly wont lmao
a notebook? just one? dang girl you are behind. I have two notebooks and a journal for writing down ideas plus a journal for writing my own thoughts plus a journal for my dreams. Catch up girl catch up
i have a journal for my personal life, a notebook, post its, index cards, and anything else i can reach at the moment lol
post its? I just got an image of your place full of post its on the walls with stuff written on them plus index cards all taped up on the walls
hey, you're back.
actually, I haven't noticed anything any crazier than it usually is. but I don't always read those threads..
yuppers i is back for the night lol ... how are you rebekah

She says to tell all of you that she is fine and hello but att his point in time she has to take a break from the forums to get ready for her upcoming move. She didn't want any of her friends here to worry about her as she is fine. She asked me to let everyone know and I told her I would. She does...

This is off topic but needs to be said so I'll say it then drop it.I admit I have lost my cool several times in here but NOT unprovoked (that’s not an excuse).I have a habit of protecting the underdog from those who prey with words to show dominance.. as is the case with a few people in here...

I took a hiatus for awhile from Hub Pages! However, in the past week or so, I have added new hubs participated in forums, asked a question or two, participated with the Hub Hopper, have read some Hubs, yet my Hubber Score is lower than it was when I was doing nothing. I don't get it!

Hello everyone!Quick Introduction: I'm Jessica, from Ontario.. been a member of Hubpages for three years (though due to lack of time, writer's block, frustration, procrastination and if I'm completely honest with myself; laziness. I haven't always been very active on Hubpages.. My dedication seems...

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of hubbers have disappeared from the forums. I don't see certain hubbers like I did months ago. And it seems like the activity is less or something.Like I remember ryankett and Pcunix to name a few.
