I might have taken this thread seriously if it wasn't for the fact that you come off as a kid begging for attention without having to directly ask for it.

Anyway, bye. Good luck.

...

You know I'm sorry you feel that way, but what's the point of whining about your lack of respect here. If you have problems with your family, settle it with them. You have to work for respect and sometimes you may never get it, sorry to say.

As it partains to this site; quit you whining. The ranking don't mean a damn thing at all. Hell I've been here for what feels like an eternity and I still have a "mortal rank" just like you. You want to talk about lack of respose, write my name in the author section of the thread search and you'll really see what a lack of response is, but like everyone here it doesn't bother me at all. I'm fine with where I stand here knowing that I've at least earned the respect of a handful of people here. If you want to leave, go right ahead, no one is going to force you to stay or leave. But if you are going to leave I suggest you do it with some f**kin dignity. As long as you keep refering to how shitty your life is that's all it will ever be, believe me I know. Now I don't know you. I don't know what kind of person you are or what kind of life you lead so maybe I may be a little hard on you, but it sounds like you really need a wake up call my friend, and that's exactly what I'm trying to provide.

I have to agree with Skeleton. Respect must be earned. I'm also sorry to hear that your family disrespects you. Do you think running away like this will earn you more respect?

I'm here for quite some time now too, and look at my rank? Still the bottom of the pit. I also try to make replies that mean something but almost no mod gives dragonpoints anymore...

What i would recommend is to talk to your parents and ignore those lowlife disrespecting online "pals".

tuff but thats just the way the world is. greedy fucks

later.. do u need a tissue???

Glory-seeker.

Who cares about rank. I've been here for awhile and I'm still a mortal. Hell no matter if your a mortal,worrior,and so on your still gonna be the same person with the same views on life and the same problems you have now. You should look at it like this no matter what your ranl is the main point of this board is to met people with a common intrest and interact with them, Hell instead of leaving here for whatever reason you should stay. This could be your place to escape your problems atleast for just an hour or so and talk with people on here and get your mind off of your problems. If your coming here for the sole purpose of rank then your coming here for the wrong reason.

In my mind all that have replied here are kids of the website. I'm kinda old in web years. :(

You I'm going to guess is either 14 or 15. A thirteen year old would still be too energized yet for full on depression.

I agree with what skeleton wrote. But I figured like any real depressed person you need to see your name in print. So let's go down the list shall we?

I didn't even know you were here yet. Everybody on here has some kind of pattern. Now if I can't form an idea of what kind of person you are, you haven't been on long enough to show an opinion.

Second, many good threads are tossed aside because people either are busy, stupid, or don't care. That doesn't mean a thing about your self worth. It is the economics of the web. A lot of us have been there before.

Just because you don't get dragon points doesn't mean a damn thing. I remember a lot of people coming onto this board, doesn't mean I'm special, just old. And look, I'm still a mortal. Sure the system hasn't been in place for that long. But I don't worry about it, why? Because it isn't that important. So long as you know that you are honest to yourself and responding in a semi-intelligent manner, is all that matters.

Next, you talk about your life at home. Some here have had it worse than you, some have had it better. Some of us never got past the talking stage, some of us have been violently ripped away from a gun. I see that you are trying to reach out. The problem is that you are going the wrong direction. You need to talk to you parents. Or a counselor about this. If you kill yourself thinking everybody is better than you, all you'll prove is that they're right.

Finally, respect. I haven't earned one ounce of the respect I get. But I am grateful for the friendships I have. Without those who respect me I would probably never respect them. And so a circle of distrust would loop. Your problem is not that you aren't getting respect. It may be that you aren't giving it. Possibly you don't respect yourself. And that is why you are having troubles. Because you don't know that you are worth it. There is some serious sit down time that you need.

Anyway

-Shoe

Well if you wanted attention from this, "You Got It" . But anyways I think the reason you don't get respect is, "playing on the computer" isn't a means of getting respect. People will see you as a complete nerd-wad, and on internet games I bet you try to be all cool and stuff, but you can't be because well you know You're On the Computer! I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but in reality, in front of my monitor, I'm not yelling at all I actually whispering in a sincere way. Don't look at life for the bad things, look at all the good things. That's the problem I've had for awhile, I was preoccupied thinking of how hard life is going to be, so I said to myself "Hey this isn't what life is meant to be, there is good out there and I will seek that even when the bad comes, I'll get over with it and go to the good". That may not make sense to alot of people but if you were me it would . Don't blame anyone for your problems either, you have free will. What really pisses me off is when people blame "God", 'Oh I don't believe in God because he made my life horrible'. Sh*t that makes me angry, he gave you free will and you're the one that screws things up if you are in a bad situation. Don't turn to drugs, and don't hate, or blame anyone but yourself. Toughen up, it's good for you, just don't become a mean person my friend. Life goes on, and it's good so to everyone on here "Cheers!"
BTW: I love Twiztid Ninja's icon, it's so sexy, tee hee.

Call me crazy, but if you don't think anyone cares than why make a thread about it anyway? Either way, it sounds like this forum might not really be all that's on your mind, and if that's the case I hope you can get your problems sorted out, come back and see that MK Online isn't such a bad place

Fucking leave then. You get no sympathy from me. Posting something like this in public only shows how much of a baby you are. You have over 1,800 visits here. You should know how the members of this board think. Grow up. Mods coming in... Kicking your ass in the thread? Pain and misery? What is that? You have no one but yourself to blame because you let people get to you easily. And if you think posting something like this will get them on your side you're wrong.

Fuck, I've been here since May 2002 and I still have a Mortal Ranking, it doesnt mean shit to me.

So many things I'd like to say, the ONLY thing I probably won't get into is your problems with your family:

-Why do you let what some idiot tells you when you play online games? When I play Halo on XBC, besides READING dozens of times "Bla bla bla, we are undefeated, bla bla bla, we will rape you" when trying to decide WHERE to play, I see the same bullshit once I actually play against someone. Are there Halo players out there better than me? Of course, but them talking shit about me or how much better they are is NEVER going to upset me or make me wanna stop playing the game.

-The same thing applies if people here (like some already have in this thread) disrespect you. I'll NEVER get tired of saying this, but this is the damn INTERNET!!! No one is better than anybody else, so if somebody (regardless of who it is) "flames" you, laugh it off and move on.

-The Dragon Point system is irregular in the sense that not every mod has the same criteria for giving 'em out. I'm sure everybody here has at one point written something and then thought to him/herself "Why the fuck didn't I get any DPs??" So what if you don't move up in rank? It took me a LONG while for me to move up to Warrior and I've been "stuck" with this rank for quite a while as well. IF I move up, cool. If not, oh well.

-I'm also pretty sure everybody has at one point created a thread that has received zero replies. That DOESN'T mean nobody read it. It's been quite a while since I myself created a thread, but it's merely 'cause I'm waiting to be fully inspired before I write it (I MIGHT do it tomorrow, that way I'd wait until Sunday to see what people thought since I'll be away this weekend; btw, J knows what I'm talking about).

-I have "noob" skills when it comes to making a website. But you know how I'll get better? With practice, just like everything else in life. I don't really understand what you mean when you say that doing this will allow you to "get in good with the mk team." Are you talking about this site's staff or Boon & Co.? Whatever the case, if you're gonna make a fansite, do it 'cause YOU like doing it and YOU are proud of your work, not because of what others (might) think.

-As for the suicide thing...well, it probably has to do with (among other things) your family problems, but EXCLUDING that, I don't think you have reason enough for wanting to take your own life and making your family and loved ones suffer for the rest of their lives, feeling guilty about what you did.

-A mod WON'T come in here and "kick your ass." I sincerely doubt a mod would be allowed to do that.

In conclusion...goodbye and good luck.

Well, if no one else will sympathize, then I will.

Respect and love shouldn't have to be earned. I've seen too many people just implode emotionally because they get no affection from their families, and they have virtually no friends. So therefore, they get my respects, mostly because I know if I don't provide it, no one else will.

The oracle said it best: everything needs love to survive. During the holocost, the nazi's did an experiment on two children. Both were well-nurished and properly sheltered. But one child was given the proper amount of attention, while the other was completely neglected of human affection. The neglected child's immune system eventually turned to shit and died. Now this story was told to me word of mouth, so don't prod me for accuracy. Just look at the point I'm conveying.

Yeah, it may be the internet, but the minds behind the text are real people. Flaming someone on the net is equivelent to calling someone on the phone and saying "Fuck you, cunt!" The only difference is that with the net, you don't HAVE to read other's peoples output. But why do people come to forums in the first place? They're temporarily leaving their community and getting refuge in an internet based one. People who sometimes have no outside relations hope that maybe someone will take liking to them on the net. Does it work? Most of the time, no. If you're social skills are weak in real-life society, then that will reflect in your posts.

But keep in mind, you have to respect and love yourself first before anyone can love you. Once I began to sense that there was an essence beyond this reality, greater than this reality, who truly cared for me, I no longer needed the pity of other people. It was then that I became what I wish everyone was: an individual. After that, I began to respect myself, and even though I would like the love and respect of others, I understand that I must provide it myself first. If no one loves me back, it really doesn't fucking matter. My purpose lies in myself, not in them, but for them.

And on a side note, good threads get neglected all the time. Intelligent people either don't see it or find interest in it, or shallow people just don't want to take the time to read it. I'm guilty of both those sins. Some of my best threads only got six replies. But don't feel bad. That will happen on any forum.

And about the ranking, something needs to be done about that. I know the mods are only human, but the system now just isn't working, IMO. It's nobody's fault. Its probably more intimidating to the newer users then welcoming, really.

Some people will love you and some people will hate you. Im disrespected all the time. You know what you do? You do the opposite of what people want. Then you should be fine, do what you want, and please for the last time stop thinking about what some other dumfuck is trying to tell you. I havent met an immortal person yet on this planet you know.

Excellent, I could not put this in better words. It's been my experience here that there are some very good people here who are funny, and intelligent, and just nice to talk too. Then there are others here who (for what ever reason) go out of their way to put people down or make them feel foolish and insignificant. You just gotta find the right people to talk to, and ignore the ones who only like to start shit around here. I know it's not, by any means, easy to let some of the stuff said on these forums to just roll off your back. (However, like some others have said...I think your problems go waaay deeper than this site and it's members...but I don't want to go there.) The fact is that where ever you go, not EVERYONE will like you or even want to be bothered to know you...but there will also be those who are willing if you are...and giving up and running away is not going to help you meet those people. When I first got here all I did was read some posts (never replied) and post some pics. I didn't want to post my thoughts in any threads because I had seen some of the things said to others and figured I didn't want to go through that (seriously the flaming here can get brutal and there's really no reason for it)....But then I got to thinking, Why join a forum if your not gonna participate? Who cares what others think? So slowly I started repling to more and more threads, and then making some of my own....and because I chose to do that and interact the the people here I have made some good friends that I speak with frequently. I also happen to know that there are people here who don't like me all that much...but that's cool because I don't come here for them, I come here to talk MK with the friends I have here. The point is your only looking on the negative side of things, and your making a decision soley based on those things. You could make friends here if you try harder, but your not going to do that if you just leave. Which by the way, I'm sorry to say, is cowardly (and I know because a short while ago I was thinking of leaving over something that happend, but I changed my mind because, I talked to one of my friends here and he talked me out of it, also good stuff here definitely outweighs the bad.) And I won't even touch the suicide thing, You shouldn't have to be told about how dumb that is. I really think that you should seek a counselor or someone that you can talk to about what's really bothering you because it seems like there's a lot wrong with your life that really has nothing to do with this site.

Just think it over.

I know what your talking about dude.I was in the same position a few years ago.Forget what other people think about you.If they think that let them think that.There is always going to be people in the world who are going to hate you.Ignore people who flame you 99% of the time Flamers are all talk.Don't get mad at it once you ignore them they'll make there self look like a jackass.

...im only postin here again because alot of you are actin like asses... if you were gonna bitch about this WHY DID YOU COEM HERE? that just shows your own ignorance, and im 16, im not a damn kid,a 12- yr old is a kid, 13+ is a teen, 20+ is adult...you guys who are acting like asses are MORE reasons why im leavin here, i bet if a mod did what i just did you'd be crying and weeping over it!! you peopel are jsut heartless, thats all, if you know what i have been through in my lifetime, i bet even you guys would feel bad for me... now, GOODBYE, and if a mod closes this, go ahead..i dont care anymore

So that's all you were after? You wanted people to come in here and what? Tell you how much they'd be hurt if you left? Make a big deal that all of the sudden you decided to quit the site? Then Hyuga was right this was for attention, nothing more. I really feel bad for you man. Yes some people were a bit harsh, but others tried to help you, and you come back with this. Well whatever you decide to do, I hope you find a way to be happier.

Please thats not what I said. im not against you, you gotta believe me.

You know, I didn't really say anything too offensive, but damn, we all have problems trust me, in a matter of a month, I lost 6 friends, my rents split, I found out my mother was a lesbian (after 17 years) my grandfather passed away, but damn man, you have just gotta deal with it. Everyone has problems you don't see anyone else making threads crying out for attention. I wasn't going to say anything but the fact that you just replied to criticize everyone else instead of thanking the people who tried to give you advice and let you know that they cared, showed me just what you really are all about. Frankly from what I saw in your last post, you don't deserve the respect you're looking for, goodbye

Work on your English while your gone...then if you come back here, you might get some respect, but I doubt it since you complain so much. No one likes a whiner.
