Okay, i've seen many contests, rated many profiles, been rated, made some great friends...so i thought i would share some thughts and see what y'all think...
1. Points: okay, they move you up to the next level, and yes, of course, for whatever reason, and i can't truly explain it, even i want to move to the next level as it approaches...now ask yourself why? more photos? like we ever fill up the photo space we have...well, i don't anyway, some do...a lounge? talk about a headache...braggin' rights? well okay if ya say so...
2. Ratings: Now this one just escapes me...if you go to a page, why not just slap a 10 on it...ya took the time to look, and after all, we all want to make it to the next level...course, if you're gonna leave a one...move on, better yet, don't stop...
3. Rankings: hmmm...i never understood just what that was til a few days ago...it's based on the number of fans you have..now just what exactly is a fan you many ask...i haven't figured that out...if you're on my family list, i'm a fan of yours cuz ya made it in to my real life head, heart or whatever...now, i compare fans to family...far more fans then family...interesting...
4: Friends: okay, now, even the newbies figure out that the more friends you have, the more points ya get and thus the next level...somehow, i'm thinkin if ya simply add me as a friend, never chatted with me, you certainly ain't met me, haven't exchanged emails...then how possibly can you be a friend? and how can you be a friend if you have not rated, or commented? at least according to this system...
3. Contests: okay, now what kinda real contest can you vote for yourself, get your friends to vote 12 million times, create bots who vote...and with all of that... folks still cop an attitude when "someone else" wins, or they go rate the ahead with a one....now how does one walk away frn a contest with these kind of rules and stunts feeling a winner?
and my point here is? well, check it out...5000 page visits... 500 ratings...200 plus friends, good lord i think 300 fans... but ya know what? it's my CT family that has made their way in... and for Loretta, SuperTramp, Axel, Breaking the Girl, Wench, Dazzler, Frank (note the distinct decrease in number here)... these are folks that talk to me, reach out and make me feel bretter, make me laugh, accept me for what and who i am...fuck a bunch of ratings, rankings, etc... i know who's who...lol
BUT, in all, i have found everyone (minus one or two just wastes) here to be really good people..and damn a lot of fun! and that's my real point i suppose...it is fun...
okay, i'm done now..LOL
