My opinion to all the on-going weighing here.

Flyra's picture
This is about what Her, Timber, Verycrazygirl and SarieBearie already started talking about... just, maybe another point of view...

I don't want to cause any arguing with posting this, not again... I'd just like to tell my opinion in my bad English. If anything in my phrasing sounds weird, it can be because English is only my second language and I am 14 and haven't been learning English for so long.

Well, let me start... You all wrote about how down the site went because of all the blog entries posted about real life stuff, ranting, drama, dragon eggs, and even the Deer Updates. And honestly, I think with those you cause more drama than there even already is. I mean, what do you expect? On this site, there are like more than a few thousands people from all over the world. Do you think they all see the diary blogs and think exactly the same about what should be there or not? This wouldn't work anywhere. Everyone has different ideas, different meanings and different likes and hates. If some of you go on the top and say "Hey, it can't go on with that", that is probably good. But adding the "Man guys, all your ideas with memes and real life stuff are needless, please put them down" is not really the way it would work.

When I came here and saw all the diary entries I thought that was a place of life, a place of Welcome, where you are allowed to write down what you'd like to, to have fun, to have the freedom to talk to people from all over the world. Hopefully you agree with me that that's a great thing. Deer stuff and IRL friendships all mixed up. And if it causes confusion with a few of you, I'd say we'd ask Michael again to make different categories for the things. But honestly, it really doesn't bother me at all. I take my time to check all the new diary entries I haven't seen before, and if I don't have the time I check the blogs of my friends to see if they have something new.
I just feel personally attacked now because everything I hoped to find and have in this diary entries seems to be wrong in your eyes. I didn't ever write about my deer's days, what is because I mostly don't have the time for that. And the English skills. And because it wouldn't be that interesting for you to know when Flyra ran into a tree or spied on a couple nuzzling. And if nobody commented then, I would feel sad. No good. So I'd rather let it be.

And I am very interested in IRL stuff. And making friendships with random talking. And maybe it all hasn't been like that before. But homepages are growing, more people are joining, more people with other ideas. And when they come up with it, they find followers and the thing goes on. It's like that with every community I've been yet. Maybe the "oldies" who have been in all the "old good times" don't like this change, but couldn't they try to come up with all? Is that so difficult? Can't I ask you to understand all the other ways and ideas, too?

As for the dragon eggs, I sure see your point now. I still find them very neat, but it's true that they don't belong into the diary entries. I didn't upload my dragon egg blog entry very often, but I'm sure when I did it a few of you felt very annoyed. So I will let it be. I won't delete it, because I hate deleting blogs and I had nice talks with Raz there which I wouldn't like to get lost forever.

A thing I totally agree with you is the deer drama. Real life is full enough of dramas I could cry about. Do my characters really need the same? Do I really have to think about that and make me sad? I am very emotional with that stuff. But if others want to have the drama to have fun or I-have-no-idea-why and it involves one of my deer, I won't just run away. But I will try to stop it because I've already had a drama experience and really didn't like it. *sighs*

Perhaps you could place your

Perhaps you could place your dragon eggs in your signature? Smiling They'll still be seen there. ^^
And when I posted that entry, I wasn't targeting anyone in a negative manner. I don't really know most of the community and therefore I have no right to form opinions on someone. ;P

I did that with the dragon

I did that with the dragon eggs before with the signature, but now I think it's still not a good idea. It needs some time to load it up, and it's annoying even for me... and it won't fit in my signature so I have to copy and put in the links every new time... no probs, it will work with DailyDragonFix... but thanks for the tip anyway. <3
I know you didn't, Ver. Your post was very good, you found some great solutions everyone will agree with, I am sure about that. ;D

"Hopefully you agree with me

"Hopefully you agree with me that that's a great thing." I agree 100%!
I really don't mind all the real-life diaries and you know what, if people don't like them, don't read them. There are always going to be things in life you have to look/deal with that you'd rather not, so the sooner people learn to deal with them politely the better off they will be. Smiling

:U The community site was

:U The community site was created expressely for community-ism. i.e. real life stuff to go along with TEF things. But the floods of dragon eggs and updates and so on aren't a part of that, and it annoys me too. I'm glad you shared your opinion. <3

@Sun: Thanks, and you are right. *sighs* <3
