killtrocity?

And I've had a few phone calls with ella. And Graveflower/aeris. And a few other Netphorians but I forget who. :(

If Eulogy didn't quit, I kept bugging him to hang after a Pens game. Never materialized. C'est la vie, Euls.

i talked to ilikeplanets on the phone and sarah casey left me a message

Bonnie did you group call me before or something?

I know 28if but I don't think that counts because I introduced him to Netphoria. No one else here has ever met me

Elphenor?

No one here has ever met me. Including myself.

Yes but I am still not sure you really exist

Ive met brandon, tyler, and adam in person so dont put me on this list. I think there was someone else too

Do I count?

Yes

I've never met any of you... BUT I SURES HELL MET YOUR MOTHERS!!!!

HA!

That dude was a HUGE inspiration. Mad respect.

1 liek = 1 respeck

Well next time you come to Pittsburgh hmu and we'll take you out to dinner somewhere well lit and populated.

That goes for all of yinz too!

redbreegull has sailed through the seas and flew through the air, arrived in Israel and......

If he ever comes to Pgh I'll suck that fucker's dick!!

haha I remember when I went on Taglit I posted some pics and you sent me a pm about it, but I had no idea you were Israeli before that.

when I went back I cut ties with netphoria around the same time cause 1. netphoria was becoming a major negative influence on my mood and 2. very bad internet and I hardly could find time to even email my parents.

tbh it wasn't until after the big exodus last year that I started feeling like I was actually friends with some of yous guise. before, people's personalities got lost in the sea of noise and I was just vaguely aware of one contingent that hated me and another contingent that tolerated me and treated everyone accordingly

I still need to go get my god damn fucking acoustic guitar from Kiryat Shmona one day so there's hope yet, although it's probably better for you to keep yourself Shanghai and Dry

If people were willing to come party brazilian style I wouldn't be opposed to meeting a few of the knuckleheads here I suppose.

yeah i identify strongly with that.
i was just thinking the other day how odd it is that i kept coming back to netphoria for such a long time before the [b]netphodus [/B] (i'm going for coining this term) because except for it being funny sometimes, i would not participate at all, when i would i would either be ignored or attacked relentlessly, and even when i did come out of my shell and say something it would be just a small, meaningless remark that added nothing to the discussion.

it's really interesting what happened to this place after all the loudmouthed bullies went away. it changed massively and now i really do feel like some people on here are like friends to me.

yeah. i think i may be done with israel, living there wise - but i'll be visiting at some point, i guess. i know shipping it will probably cost you a ridiculous fortune - so if i can help by picking it up for you and bringing it closer, or ship it to you from shanghai, let me know. you know u my bro.

When I first came I wouldn't post on gen chat cause it was like the cool kids and their cliques and outrageous jokes. Then I slowly tried to emulate that but people never thought I was funny. I would get taken seriously when I was completely joking, and viciously attacked. So then I started attacking people back similarly, calling them faggots and shit. I honestly have no idea why I played this role for so many years. As I got older I gained the ability to sometimes come across well here, and then it became like a game I never fully understood; like how do I get people to react positively to my jokes and shit. Ultimately in hindsight I realize there was no winning strategy, this place was just a pit which was humorous to me because I was immature and thought being a colossal piece of shit to people was funny, probably in large part because it's what these other posters (most of whom were much older than me) were doing.

I came back in 2015 and it was nostalgic for a few weeks and then Trots and Eulogy started piling on me again and I was like fuck this shit forever, but it was immediately followed by them leaving and the whole dynamic of the board changing. Glad I stuck around now cause I feel like I honestly know some boarders here and am familiar with their lives and I enjoy talking about the shit we are all going through. But yeah it was a long strange road.

haha oh god, this matches my experience perfectly.
i would make what - to me - were the most obvious jokes, and i would get flamed relentlessly for it. then when i attacked people back, i was 'butthurt' or 'lashing out'. then it became about emulating a certain style in order to fit in, which even more upsettingly, worked. the netphoria hardcore punk rock corporation. fuck that shit. even when it worked, it felt like a lie. it was all basically kindergarten dynamics: the biggest, loudest boys molding their surroundings to be how they want them. and if you're not in on the clique, tough shit. but once all those guys were gone, this place actually became constructive.

i have generally always tried to be nice and helpful and forthcoming and i think a lot of people didn't trust that, i know trots didn't for a long time but i think he came around. when i first started posting a lot though, i was really mentally unwell and at times addicted to drugs so i don't remember it very well but i know a lot of people thought i posted too much. i def overshared and i did get into fights a tiny bit, but not blowouts. i mean i've probably had 3-4 the whole time, the most recent being with CW

i remember asking eulogy one time how him being an asshole to somebody could possibly be constructive to the situation and he said something like 'who says i'm trying to be constructive' and i was like, in my own mind, hold up. isn't that what people are usually trying to do, learn something and figure how to live peaceful amongst each other? kind of blew my mind tbh

like obviously there are narcissistic and psychopathic people out there who might not even understand what that is, but the idea that many people are just forging ahead with what they want to do with minimal concern for others' feelings and desires (except those close to them) was really strange to me

I would plan a trip for this as weird as it sounds. But with my bf so it's not too weird. I got no business in pittsburgh otherwise

I know this might be a dopey question, but are you originally from Brazil? Have you lived there your whole life? Just curious is all.

Yes and yes.

Hey rbg why not drive up and we do a mini meet up with duovamp

Looking back, it is strange and unfortunate that so many adult people here (people in their 20s mostly back then I guess) were essentially operating on this extremely juvenile, high school level idea of humor and conduct. As a high schooler, I think I got a warped sense of what young adult life is actually like, and how one is expected to behave at that age. It's kind of a shame that Netphoria was such a big part of my life because I'm sure it was not healthy to be exposed to so many deplorables

I liked to think this was more like an escape valve to a lot of people instead of an accurate portrayal of what they were actually like as people.

That helped me sleep at night.
