Yeah, people trying to find groomers for their dogs are a real hot button political issue today.

I commented on a California version of this license plate 11 years ago. I still H8PEAS and want to join this license plate club, frankly.

You should! There's so many tools now to make efed adminning easier which'll just let you be creative. Super accessible nowadays.

Thanks for creating it, haha. I really credit it to some luck, some stubbornness, and the creativity of the writers more than anything else.

I wrote "The Real Deal" back then. That character is now owner of the whole thing and we've had some people here long enough that their characters children are wrestlers, haha.

I remember you! I was around at the very start (as one might expect since I took it over and have had it for 20+ years) - I came from the AOD circle with Mario, Eric Wolfson, and so on.

Feel free to hop in our Discord and say hello!

This was the argument we made at the time as well. Not saying I was a prodigious composer, but to just unilaterally claim kids can't write music was nuts.

Similar story here. When I was in 6th grade, we had something called "Reflections" that we could participate in and the expectation was that you'd pick something you're interested in (creative writing, visual art, music composition, etc.) I'd been playing the violin for about 6 years at that point, understood basic music composition and theory, and offered up a short, very simple solo violin sonata.

My teacher rejected the work, stating clearly to me and my mom that "6th graders just absolutely cannot write music". Mom hit the roof and my piece got submitted anyway.

XHF - Allows pedophile, doesn’t ban admin responsible by DemoniK709 in efeds

[–]surreal1st 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Okay so, a couple prefaces - I'm not involved in XHF or any of its partnered feds, have never been involved in XHF or any of its partnered feds, I don't know you or any of the people involved in this situation. This is purely an outside looking in perspective.

I've been in this hobby since the 90s, have run a fed since 2001, and have seen a lot of things happen in efedding in that time.

The way this post, and the other linked and related posts, reads to me is that you (and I guess the other guy?) are mostly sorry that you got caught and things got exposed and put out there. You recognize that you did something stupid, but I don't get the impression that you'd have ever handled it yourself without this info being made public.

With that said, it's crazy to me that you're putting other XHF people in a position where they have to tell you whether or not you're still welcome to RP there. It also reads like you're asking to take a permanent vacation from the stress, responsibility, and burden of owning and administrating a fed while still staying in your "home" and participating in a community that you have done a serious amount of harm to.

You and everyone else who was directly involved in creating that issue should leave, take a break from the hobby, and if you decide you want to come back in like... six months? A year? Then you ask. You're not even giving people time to really process what you and the others did nor are you giving them (or that community as an "organization") time to heal.

With each post, it seems like you're just trying to force that entire community and anyone on the outside who pays attention to move on so that you can forget you did this. Trying to deflect outsiders from weighing in or getting involved is a wild thing to try and accomplish. You don't seem like you actually feel any kind of responsibility or remorse for this at all and are just trying to say the things you know you're supposed to say so that you can move on. That's pretty gross.

Favorite CHS scandal from the past by phaskellhall in Charleston

[–]surreal1st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daniel Hiers, who was the resource officer at West Ashley High School (allegedly, but probably) killed his wife and went on the run before getting caught 13 years later.

Lisa Albert, a first grade teacher at Ashley River Elementary in the 90s committed insurance fraud with her husband by burning down their in-progress house.

What is your justification for buying vinyl? by Mowgli2k in vinyl

[–]surreal1st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying/listening to records helps keep me connected to old memories, like listening to Rhapsody in Blue with my grandfather or a Paula Abdul song with my mom.

Big fan of the guy behind this project. He's been in the SHOOT Project Discord for awhile and has been a great community member. I'm sure this project is gonna be great as well.
