Survey Number 2 of 2

[Axis of Action]

Here ya'll go. Toby and I have finished reviewing your previous answers, and formulated some newer questions based on those responses. I even did an opening page of dialogue, sort of a faux interview thing, but it all stemmed from what you guys said. Now, to sort of explain it better, what he and I have been envisioning is a documentary and drama combination. The dialogue I did sort of set up the initial scene that I've been thinking about; so the interviews (which reflect your real opinion) then segue to the dramatized part. Anyhow, now you have more of an idea of what we're shooting for. You may find yourself repeating your answer, but each question was designed for a certain type of info. If you've already given it before, don't bother to give it again. I'll give you guys bold tags again.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria?

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'?

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria?

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?

[mewl]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place? i'd been lurking since '99 and when machina finally came out, i wanted to participate in all the hoopla surrounding its mystery. i didn't really start posting on the general board until the summer of 2000.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? nope.

[Fattening Ass]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place?

Not sure exactly. I stumbled upon this place while looking for SP info. I slowly left the "I LUF U bolly" board to this where i found many cynical and sarcastic attitudes, which i fell in love with (being a cynical sarastic dude myself).

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria?

Year of the Rabbit. Only visit there in regards to the band.

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'?

The fact that im curious about men. I don't think saying that outside of here will go over well. I also don't think i NEED to let anyone know. It's really none of anyones business.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it.

No, not that i recall.

No. I enjoy having this place to myself and away from my friends/family.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?

Friends always ask why im always at this website, and i tell them that i get pumpkins info first here and that im a regular poster. Other than that, i don't really talk about it. They think im lame for always being here.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.

Robbie is the only netphorian i really talk to, other than videogaming stuff with wangcomputers Sean casey and devious J.
I know robbie's name and some info about him and his living space.

8) Do you think we're crazy?

No, i don't. I think this place is a great place to express yourself freely and not worry about alot of backlash for what is posted. People are allowed to act as stupid, nice, mean, cool or lame as they want. Acting different than they could outside of netphoria.

[DevilSaint]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place?****** would IM me certain threads from this place, usually about wrestling or sports. After awhile I started lurking on my own and eventually I started to post also.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria? Yea, I still consider www.deathvalleydriver.com to be my primary messageboard (god, that sounds dorky). I've been hanging around there probably 3 years now and have gotten real close to some of the people. It's alot more formal over there, none of the talk of day to day stuff like goes on here. Posts tend to be long and have actual points to them

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'? Netphoria has known things before people in real life just because some things happen while I'm online and I'll come here to vent or whatever.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria? yea, I do it all the time.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples ******* you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc. eh, nothing really. I know various common knowlege about people but that's about it.

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy? only alittle bit

[Ihaman]

[meow]

i was SO waiting for the second edition!


1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place? My boyfriend was like "hey, i know of this neat smashing pumpkins message board you would like... watch out, the people on there aren't so nice..."

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria? I dick around on Blamo every once in a while. Haven't lately. I have a partner in crime that i cannot mention :-X

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'? No.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it. Uhm, ****** died once... haha jk. Nothing that really sticks in my mind. Oh, that blue person died of anorexia. I think it was a He.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria? No. They wouldn't understand. The only time a 'real life' friend had joined was because they wanted to reply and then realized that the people here are so stubborn, that it wasn't worth their effort.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria? Always. People are like 'oh, that message board ' I actually even wrote a Social Psychology paper on netphoria. Got an A-!

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc. A few I am kind of close to... we bond! I try not to get too involved!

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy? Nah. Either really interested or are doing a project of sorts!

[jenniferkate]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place?

i came over from noyen's boards.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria?

noyen's, and i lurk at nyyfans.com. nairb's is slower with the potential to be crazier, and sections of nyyfans forums i read are pretty strictly on-topic so i see no zany antics there.

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'?

no.

4) Do you remember any big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it.

eve becoming a momma. that's about it.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria?

no. they already think i'm crazy.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?

no. i save the whoria chatter for when lucky_13 and i hang out.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.

it depends on the person and how interested i am in knowing more about them.

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy?

not especially.

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place? Machina was on the verge of coming out, and they had that random tour there where dates weren't announced until like... 2 days before. I spent a week on the Internet trying to find out where they were playing in my city (which I was successful at, btw). Plus, I either had mono or my wisdom teeth were just removed, I can't remember at the time. I stuck around. It was 4 years ago.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria? A very low traffic SP board that I've been going to for 5 years. No new members in about 3. It's small, tight nit, and no one will ever meet off of that board. Oh, and a message board for my video editing class. We just bicker like crazy and call each other idiots. Too many creative visions in a small space.

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'? Possibly my sexual orientation? I think that came out here before it was 'widely' known by my friends. Maybe not.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it. Ammy got married. Plenty of car accidents. One girl took her rapist to court. I remember lots of shit, just no screen names to go with faces.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria? A guy I went to high school with joined after we went to an SP show in 2000. He thought it was lame so he left after a few posts. He introduced me to the Pumpkins when i was 13. Other than him, no.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria? My mom knows there is some board I waste time on and have met people in other cities off of. I told her about Shaunna many years ago cause I never met anyone with the same name as me before. She thinks you're all out to rape and murder me. Especially the lot of you in Toronto.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.
If they make the information known, then I know it. I know what sppunk, Toby, BlueStar, autumnNOCTURNE, The Ace of Aces and crescentfresh do for a living. I know there are a few people in really long term relationships. If they don't post it here I don't take note.

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy? I can't see how a documentary / drama about a message board will work but I'd like to see it when it's done.

[KrazeeStacee]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place?
I was searching for Pumpkins stuff.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria?
I used to go to my friends' bands' message board, but there weren't nearly as many people therefore the content was very rarely of interest to me, and the posting was too inconsistent.

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'?
No, nothing specifically that I can think of.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it.
Eve's baby, Beautiful Loser's marriage, and other people losing loved ones (won't bring up anything specific for their sake)

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria?
Yes. My exboyfriend Paul joined netphoria (lostwingz) and posted on and off when we first started dating a few years ago. 2 of my best girl friends have seen various threads that I link them to.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?
I'm not sure if I fall into that category, but I do talk about Netphoria with my friends. I guess most don't really care either way about the board. I don't really know.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.
I don't think I know anything outside of their names, locations, and any interesting stories they post about their lives.

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy?
Nah

[pale blue eyes]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place?

Information on the Pumpkins. I was really obsessed with them in high school so all the lyrics, pictures, quotes, and such really drew me in but the board kept me here.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria?

I post at Murmurs (R.E.M.) and At Ease (Radiohead), both only occasionally. Murmurs is a very large board (15,000 members) and has a few too many forums and subforums. At Ease is a little annoying because some Radiohead fans are just so in love with the band that there is almost a different kind of person who posts on the general boards rather than the Radiohead related boards.

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'?

Only once, which was when I found out my mom had breast cancer and never told me. In hindsight I sort of regret it because I had literally just found out and was still rather upset about it. Other than that, maybe my epilepsy when I was younger or being a triplet, but it was topical on here so I just shared.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it.

I'll PM you.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria?

I knew a few people in high school I would do this with because they were as big a Pumpkin fan as I was. It was usually a Pumpkins' forum topic or something related to what they were doing.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?

I don't really mention it unless there was a topic on the board I thought was interesting.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.

I don't know much about people on here. I know some first names and other info I've picked up second hand and just remembered from reading in threads.

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy?

I admittedly don't know much about either of you. I vaguely remember you having an Atari avatar (at least I think this was you). I know a little bit about Toby, I was his Secret Santa so just know what I read a bunch of his threads and that really liked his present.

[oui henri]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place?
I can't remember but it probably had something to do with Hyperbole and Mirror_Untrue

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria?
I used to troll on the Mest board, but not too much anymore since they banned me.

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'?
No, not that I can think of.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it.
I remember a ton, but I'm not posting them because i don't feel like giving anyone amo.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria?
My bestfriend joined and then another.
my boyfriend lurks on the music boards. he should just join alreaady! and i've sent links to many people but if they looked at them, that's another thing.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?
I don't see why this question would only apply to someone who is a longtime poster or who has a large post count
Yeah, I do and most of them are either something that i thought was funny, or something that really pissed me off.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.
Quite a few, but that's just because we'r friends in "Real Life"

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy? [/b]I'm just wondering why you have so much time on your hands

[pink_ribbon_scars]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place?
My friend mpp had his wisdom teeth removed and I went over to visit him and I saw that he was posting here. We were huge SP fans together, so I decided I would start reading/posting too. For a year or so I only posted on the SP boards, but then I discovered the General boards and since then I only look at the SP boards as the need arises.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria? Just noyen.org. It's different from netphoria in that no one who posts there is a complete moron so it's a more chilled out & mature environment but it is also quite a lot slower because there are no morons flooding the board with posts.

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'? No big secrets and not purposefully, but trivial things I'm sure.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it. I remember quite a few and I feel a bit skeezy bringing some of them up here but I'm too lazy to pm. It was very sad when Saferkefka (useful idiot)'s parent died, tiaragurl was recovering from a sexual assault on here, miss world's father died, eve had her baby. eve was also getting married to clint (pk) and that was a funny moment in Netphorian history.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria?
My boyfriend Mark posts her now thanks to me. I think he was curious as to why I was always checking the board and then when he checked it he got sucked in.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria? I talk to my boyfriend Mark about this place and he makes fun of me. I'll make casual comments about other posters and he'll say "God, I think you think WAY too much about that place." I'm such a dork. My family knows about this place, too, and I'm always scared that my mom is reading things I don't want her to know. She probably did when I was younger but she probably doesn't care enough to do it now. I hope. She thinks I'm a nerd for posting here. Other friends have known I post at a Smashing Pumpkins messageboard but I don't think they know much more.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.
I know very generic acquaintance-type details about a lot of people's lives, but I don't even pretend to think I know much more about anyone.

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy?
Based on this alone, no.

[obscured01]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place?
I was searching for Pumpkins related stuff. I stumbled on the the message board, and lurked a while, then finally posted.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria?
I don't know. I'm subscribed to a few other forums, rhcp, and dave matthew's warehouse forums but since I hardly ever post there, I'm not sure how their community relates to netphoria

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'?
Um. No, I don't think so. I lurk more than I post, which is why I don't have more posts than I do now, so I definately wouldn't be pouring my heart out here. Except a few times, I made a few threads about engagment issues / converting to different religion because of marriage, etc. But that's all stuff that was discussed in real life, just not as lengthy as it was discussed here.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it.
Yes, and no.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria?
My boyfriend, on some occassions. And coworkers. That's all really.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?
I used to. When I first joined, Mr. Rhino was a big poster, and I always used to tell my mom what his political views were, because they varied so much from what mine did. And he's a Texan too! So for some reason, that really amused me.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.
I don't. I'm not close to anyone on here really. All I know is what people post here, I'm not involved in anyone's life or anything.

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy?
A bit, yes. But it's all good, because I like you both.

not in the least.

[I_was_aborted]

My girlfriend posted here and I got a job where I'm constantly on the internet so I started reading the site just to waste some time.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria?

I post at one other forum. The people there are all very friendly and very helpful. Also the Admin of the site bans anyone if they cause trouble twice. Noone argues....noone insults....its nothing like Netphoria.

No.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples ******* you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.

The only peoples names I know from Netphoria are people I have met in real life.

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy?

No...but sometimes you guys try.

What do you think? I guess bootlegs.

I remember Graveflower posting that he was going to kill himself the next day, but I think I remember that one because I really don't like him.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria?

My brother joined, decided you all were assholes, left for saddle creek. One of my friends posted here once, but that's because she's a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, but decided you were a bunch of assholes and left. I've sent links to threads, before, but usually only to amusing topics, not replies.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?

Just if they have been here and think you're a bunch of assholes.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?

i'm a longtime poster, but not very regular. i talk to one or two of my geekier friends about netphoria, but that's it. they post on other boards, so they don't think much of it.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc.

i don't know anyones full name. i know where some netphorians generally work, but no specifics. school's i know probably the most about for some reason...

crazy? i don't believe in crazy. i think we're all crazy in our own ways.

[mybabemouth]

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria?

Umm nope, I remember telling my friends weird stuff that happened on here though.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria?

I think the only time I mentionned phoria in real life was when Andrew gave away Heavy Metal Machine single tapes and I got one...And I was really happy

Nope [/b][/quote]

[AndItsAllGone]

1) What brought you to Netphoria in the first place? The week I first got the internet was the same week I got Mellon Collie. I liked the album a lot and it seemed natural for me to use the web to find out more about them. I stumbled upon Netphoria and just started posting.

2) Do you subscribe to any other forums? If so, which, and how do they differ from Netphoria? I subscribe to Something Awful, which is a comedy/general discussion board. I also read AllCiv and Paradox, which are both based on computer games.

3) Have you ever revealed anything to Netphoria that you haven't made general knowledge in your 'real life'? Not to Netphoria, no. I talk to my Netphorian friends on AIM, and that's when I do talk about stuff like that. If I'm feeling suicidal or in love, I can discuss that sort of thing on Instant Messenger with people from Netphoria, but not on the board itself.

4) Do you remember any big events big events relating to a Netphorian that they or one of their friends posted? Like suicide, marriage, rape, robbery, etc. If this is too personal, please PM me, I'd really appreciate it. Nah. I can't usually tell if people are joking or not about stuff like that, so I don't really take it seriously and it doesn't stick out in my mind.

5) Have any of your "in real life friends" joined Netphoria, lurked or have you ever sent them links to specific threads? Basically, have you made them look at Netphoria? I once showed it to my girlfriend. That wasn't a great idea because I had said in a thread that I wish I had kept the Circulatory System album I had given her, and she read that and got upset.

6) (For the longtime poster/poster with large post counts) Do you ever talk about Netphoria outside the board, to your friends, family etc. What are their opinons of Netphoria? I actually do mention it somethins, usually when Tessellation says something really stupid so they can all laugh at him. Since he's the only one I've ever talked about, they probably think this place is pretty dumb.

7) How much do you know about your fellow netphorian? e.g, How involved in their real life are you? (examples include you knowing their full name, place of employment, school, etc, etc. I know a handful of them pretty well, but most I don't know at all. I always get confused when people refer to each other by their real names instead of their screennames. It's kind of funny because I've probably been coming here longer than nearly anyone, but no one is familiar with me and I'm not familiar with them.

8) Do you think we're - specifically Robbie & I - crazy? No, I think this has potential to be really cool.
