Okay, so, i've started to notice something. TheO has become very....shall I say...Seclusive. Yeah. Like, people totally ignore others who branch out and attempt to make friends or strike a conversation or even just say hello. It's not just for the newbies who have yet to make any friends here, either. Seclusion happens to everyone. Including myself, for example. For instance, just this past month. I messaged a member that I KNOW is on every single day, and I have yet to hear even a response back saying "I don't think we'd really get along" or something like that. I know that this member (nameless for reasons) saw my message and either discarded it without even giving me a chance, or read it and just decided to ignore me like I was some sort of weird glob on the floor that nobody wants to touch.
Here's what I suggest: Give everyone a chance! Whenever somebody either approaches me or responded to my message, it made me feel so happy. I'm serious.
theOtaku should have some sort of buddy system, y'know? Or some sort of pen-pal thing that everyone that is active has to sign up for. I'm just sayin'. A surefire way for members to see the truth: every member here is amazing. So many members have so many things in common with each other, but just don't see it because they never give anybody the time of day.
I, for one, have made many friends here by getting to know them. Messaging everyone, even if I don't think i'll like them. 100% of the time, i'm wrong. Also, for the record, I love getting messages from members I don't know. It's a chance for me to make a new friend.
